| Banks County man joins peanut butter lawsuit
A team of attorneys, already working on other salmonella food poisoning cases in Georgia, filed a lawsuit this week on behalf of a Banks County man who became ill after eating peanut butter.
Billy Duren of Homer, reportedly required medical treatment and hospitalization after he experienced extreme nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain as a result of eating Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter.
The suit was filed against ConAgra Foods, Inc., the manufacturer of Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter that has been linked to a salmonella outbreak that has affected people in 39 states. All of the peanut butter in question was produced at ConAgra’s factory in Sylvester, Georgia, which is under investigation by the FDA.

Firefighters turn up heat with tasty, low-cal food
Akron Fire Capt. Jim Case held up a thin slice of apple and winced. ``You can't dip this in ketchup. We used to have french fries around here.'' The lunch table at Akron Fire Station No. 2 has undergone some radical changes in the past few months. Gone are the fries, the bread, the pasta. In are broccoli, cauliflower, and yes, plates of sliced apples. ``They're killing me,'' Case teased. I had the chance last week to spend some time at Station 2 with members of the crew who are taking part in the 911 Fitness Challenge, a 12-week national weight loss and fitness challenge for emergency response workers. As we say goodbye to American Heart Month in February, and welcome National Nutrition Month in March, it seemed like the right time to visit with some people who are trying to lose weight and build up their muscle mass.

Dining Out / The sweetness added to its charm
On first entering Tapasta, hearing its "music with a beat" and seeing the dark, rectangular bar that dominates most of the physical space, one might think that this new establishment functions primarily as a bar. As the eye sweeps the place, it also becomes clear that unless one is seated at the bar or chooses to dine out of doors, if it's a pleasant evening, one will be relegated to one of the just-a-bit-too-small tables that line the walls of the building. Fortunately, after taking a place, our fears were quickly dispelled by a friendly, courteous and responsive waitress.
We were two for dinner, and decided to share three different dishes. Our opening course was a green salad, composed of two different kinds of lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, walnuts, thin slivers of red onion and whole sauteed champignon and also wild mushrooms.
