Welcome to my first legislative update! Just over a couple of weeks ago, I was humbled to be sworn in as your representative from Georgia's great 17th district. An experience that my family and I will never forget. At the end of our first week, we also received our committee assignments. Committees are extremely important as this is where most of the work on proposed legislation takes place. I look forward to serving our district as a member of the following committees: Energy, Utilities & Telecommunications, Judiciary Non-Civil and Motor Vehicles. Following the first week, we returned to Capitol Hill for week two, known as “budget week.”
Budget week is arguably the most important week of session. This begins the process of how we decide to spend YOUR hard-earned tax payer dollars. Therefore, we must work to ensure we account for every penny. Georgia, very smartly, works on a zero-based budget system. Zero-based budgeting means we toss out a portion of the current budget annually and start with a fresh slate. Prior to this system, budget spends would simply pile up year after year.
Gov. Brian Kemp, along with state agency heads, made presentations before the Senate and House Appropriation committees on suggested ways to allocate the budget. Below are a few highlights of Gov. Kemp’s spending proposals, which includes raises for our teachers and other hard-working state employees.
Education and quality access to healthcare top the list as they collectively make up 70 percent of the proposed budget. Fiscal Year 2020 budget items include: $15 billion towards education; $5.9 billion towards health care; $2.9 billion towards public safety; and $2 billion towards transportation. Proposed budget allocations also include the $35 million grant for the Technical Schools of Georgia to create an Aviation Academy in Paulding County. The academy will focus on training for aviation mechanics and is expected to be a huge success for our region of the state.
As we move through the legislative session, we will have a better idea of how exactly the allotted money will be spent in each respective area. While initial hearings have come to an end, we have a long way before sending the budget to Gov. Kemp for final approval. Over the next few weeks, we will be studying the budget very closely. I will personally be watching to ensure that our district receives the funding assistance we need from the state. It is no secret that budget appropriations can get rather heated between Assembly members, but I have no doubt our local delegation will be prepared.
All in all, I have really enjoyed my first two weeks. I can’t wait to dive into the committee process. I feel confident that we can find agreement on the best way to preserve our core Georgia values, while moving our state forward. If you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime. Thank you for allowing me the honor of serving you as it is my pleasure to work on behalf of the great 17th district.
State Rep. Martin Momtahan, R-Dallas, represents House District 17 which includes part of Paulding County. He can be contacted at 404-656-0177 or email@example.com.

The Bam Pocket is the 5th incarnation of the Rock-it Pocket. The ‘Bam’ ball center is slightly above where the middle pockets carry the ball. With the NCAA rule changes firmly in place (for now) that make the throat of the head wider in order to be legal for collegiate use, NCAA players especially need to rely a little more on their pocket to hold on to the ball rather than depending on some of the skinnier, pinched head shapes manufactured in the recent past.
The ‘Bam’ is a pocket designed to maximize the great hold that leather pockets offer while giving players the same throwing characteristics of more contemporary mesh pockets. Individually adjustable, well placed, and perfectly spaced throw strings have the stability that lets you tell the stick when to let go of the ball.
In concept the ‘Bam’ has three basic pocket goals in mind:
1) Less weight. As sticks have become lighter in recent years the weight of pockets has become more noticeable. The first thing we did was to replace the 2 outside leathers of the original 4 with nylon string, which cuts down on weight, particularly in wet weather. Those sides, whether leather or nylon in the ‘Bam’ work best when kept tight. There is less string strung, and that sheds some weight, too.
2) Combine. We took a few of the qualities we like about the other Rock-it Pockets and put them together in an effort to build a hybrid pocket that would appeal to a certain kind of playing style. The Classic Rock-it Pocket helps to narrow the pocket channel in any head. That is always a good start. The idea with the ‘Bam’ is that guys who really have a hard crank shot can sometimes stretch out the top of a pocket when there are fewer strings, similar to the George Pocket advantage. This creates whip potential, too. We also borrowed from the Pookie Pocket by keeping the middle leathers closer together towards the top, the effect of which is also to eliminate unwanted whip.
3) Hold the Ball. The newer, wider heads mean the plastic of the head is going to be carrying less of the load as far as holding on to the ball. Like all Rock-it Pockets, the leather and the shape are going to automatically give you better hold than mesh. In addition, we have spread out the shooting strings so the ball sits right on the bottom string and there is less ball movement up and down in the pocket while you cradle. This means the ball is always right where you want when it’s time to throw. Also, by minimizing the string where the ball sits, like the George does, the pocket softens fast for better catching and cradling starting on day one.
The ‘Bam’ is called the ‘Bam’ in honor of Dylan “Bam-Bam” Preble (sounds like pebble), who received the nickname and tag of “Bam-Bam” from Rock-it Pocket inventor Flip Naumburg at Colorado State University and has been a resident stringing guru and gear junkie here in Fort Collins, CO for a while. Dylan’s input led to this pocket having a slightly different release. The idea was to keep all the advantages of the classic RP but give it a more familiar throwing release for guys who grew up playing with mesh. The most obvious difference is that the spread-out shooting strings give a quicker release, more like a mesh pocket than the Classic Rock-it Pocket. The Bam Pocket will fit nicely in many other heads as well, but its evolution came about with the 2010 rule changes in mind, so any X for universal head has good ‘Bam’ possibilities.

Poetry – Issue 08 | February 2010
Two poems by Sheila Wild
Scarlet Minivet. Words, evocative enough over years
to call up Pokhara on Christmas Day, a town where motorbikes
stole our sleep and mule caravans trekked in from Mustang.
We’d gone out when the streets were still sleepy and the Annapurnas
lit with irregular gold – Machapuchare was the tail of a giant catfish
fluking skywards, unaware of the sunlight or of its own shining,
knowing only what was beneath it was deep and cold and good.
To call a mountain ‘fishtail’ is to join its double summit
to the lake below, but misses out the alpine forests in-between.
We’d climbed steeply up through oak and hemlock, the air green
with the odour of lichen, silent, as walkers sometimes are
at the start of a trail. Our guide leapt ahead like a mountain goat,
his mind on not letting us fall off the narrow track.
Birds everywhere, their names satisfyingly unknown, save for
the darting scarlet minivets, feathered in charcoal and flame.
On the hill top to our left was a half-built Buddhist stupa,
its forever-rising ladders a vulture’s abandoned nest.
Only women had laboured there that day, the brick-filled baskets
on their backs balanced between pride and pain.
Way above them, like an echo of itself, the steady rhythm
of the scaffolders: tap and hammer and tap again.
Shameful to stand awhile and rest while the women
laboured on, steady as turtles, but all around us
the minivets whistled and flaunted their scarlet silks.
Down then, and down, to a creek where oak trees
fished for their own roots, and wooden row-boats
bobbed on the lake. Laughter, as we’d sorted ourselves
two by two into fours, the men taking the oars, the women
trailing fingers in the blue-green water – turquoise,
that soft stone whose glacial coolness sunlight sweats to white.
We’d smiled for each others’ cameras, but then the Annapurnas
had commanded our full attention, like coming suddenly
to heaven and not knowing how to breathe its air.
Beauty added to beauty is water below mountains:
Phewa Lake, reflecting the birth-sheen of Gods;
Machapuchare, white with Shiva’s unthinkable light.
Incongruous soon after to eat Christmas cake in a lakeside garden,
the rose trellises haggard, the radio singing a Nepali love song,
joy injured into new made pain. Discussing the stupa – what
it would look like from the town – and the sacredness of summits –
how no-one might set foot on Machapuchare’s caudal fin.
Time then to return to our hotel, through market gardens
neat for winter, where among the bare branches of fruit trees
the scarlet minivets flickered, charcoal and flame,
the way flint flashes fire from kindling and sparks fly up
like souls set free from the body’s weight.

140 km of asphalt, 120 km of locked paving road
Denizli Metropolitan Municipality, which made the traffic problem sustainable with giant investments such as Triangular Bridge Junctions, Zeybek Bridge Junction, Industrial Connection Bridge, Hal Köprülü Junction, Ankara Road Bridge Junction, Bozburun Bridge Junction, Akhan bend arrangement, continued its studies in 2019. Having made 140 kilometers of asphalt road throughout Denizli last year, Metropolitan Municipality has also signed 120 kilometers of concrete lock paving road and pavement works that will save citizens from mud in winter and dust from summer. Transportation investments that Denizli Metropolitan Municipality put into service in 2019 were not limited to these.

One promise that I have made to myself this year, is to try and save money. Now, I spend a heap of money on sushi. It is my favourite food and I genuinely can’t go in to town without stopping at Wasabi. E’s favourite snack is edamame and I genuinely take whole responsibility. But hey, she could prefer crisps…so I think I’m doing Ok on that mama front. The one thing you have to remember when making this bowl, is there are few rules. In fact, there is only one rule: make sure your fish has been pre-frozen to kill all bacteria. Either buy it frozen, defrost in the fridge overnight and use it the next day or speak to your fishmonger at the supermarket to see what journey your fish has been on.
This dish contains Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin B6, vitamin D, fibre, potassium, carbohydrate, calcium, iron…I could go on. Basically, all of the ingredients together create a healthy meal that will fill you up and hopefully not make you want to snack in the middle. I’ve added a super quick pickled side salad which you can take or leave. You could switch out the white rice for brown if you prefer and want to go down the proper healthy route.
You could also add a spicy mayo if you’re a heat lover like me, just mix 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise with one tablespoon of sriracha.
Ingredients, makes 1 large salad or 2 small
- 1 boneless sashimi grade salmon fillet – pre frozen or bought frozen and defrosted thoroughly.
- 1 avocado
- 1 pack of white rice (I cheat and get microwavable)
- Handful of edamame beans or soya beans
- 2 spring onions
- Sesame seeds
- 2 tblsp of low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tblsp rice whine vinegar
- 1 tblsp sriracha
- Chilli flakes
- 1 and a half tblsp of Mirin
- Remove skin of salmon and cut in to cubes.
- Put in a bowl with soy, rice whine vinegar and sriracha, mix, cover with cling film and place in the fridge immediately to collect later.
- Pop your rice in the microwave, once cooked, allow to cool. I put mine in a bowl and cover it.
- Once rice is cooled, add the mirin and mix.
- Chop onions and avocado.
- Layer the bowl with all ingredients however you wish, top with edamame and sesame seeds and then sprinkle with chilli flakes or dressing (see top of page).
For pickled side salad
- Chop carrot, red onion, cucumber and radish.
- Mix with 1 tlbsp of cider vinegar and 1 tsp of sesame oil.
