LOCAL NEWS 3 Friday, July 12, 2019 Chronicle Times 10 Day Forcast Cherokee Weather Tags for $1.00 for ad- ditional garbage items are available for pur- chase at City Hall. In other City business, Brown stated that it was his understanding that Spring Lake Park users would continue to have access from the east trail into the park and vice versa after the spring flooding but said that is not the case. He recently looked at it and said there is no pe- destrian access through the flood gate. He said the City needs to open the north road access and clean off the walk- ing trail and mow the weeds immediately. Unsightly, messy sand and silt from previ- ous flooding still re- mains in those areas. Brown said he original- ly supported the road closure but no longer does, as the closure re- ally changed the feel of the park and it is just not the same, along with greatly inconve- niencing park users and potential park users. Also, Brown maintains that the Westcott Park lower ballfield has not been used in 10 years and won’t be used again, so the fence and lights need to be removed and the area leveled out and returned to park land. Council member Will Miller commented that we can’t just let it grow weeds, and the other Council members are in agreement. Miller asked that City Parks Director Duane Mum- mert and Recreation Director Dave Ellis at- tend the next Coun- cil meeting to further discuss the matter and seek resolutions.

PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY Many people who suffer panic attacks wonder if they are actually having a heart attack because their symptoms are so similar. While some individuals feel anxiety occasionally, others become nervous when thinking about/facing certain situations. It does help to know that the physical symptoms of anxiety disorder (a group of mental conditions in which anxiety and worry arise in response to perceived danger) include muscle tension, headaches, indigestion, stomachaches, sweaty palms, dizziness, and a racing heartbeat. In some cases, anxiety manifests itself as a panic attack, prompting symptoms such as a pounding heart, nausea, dizziness, and the fear of dying or losing control. Learning to identify these symptoms as a panic attack may help cope with recurrences. Treatment for anxiety involves psychological counseling and therapy. This might include psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or a combination of therapy and counseling. Our compassionate counselors are here to help you. We welcome people of all ages and from all backgrounds. P.S.When experiencing symptoms of a heart attack, one should always err on the side of caution by visiting an emergency department for treatment. A subsequent visit to a talk therapist can help address underlying anxiety. Niemeier graduates Auctioneer College experience of calling a public auction sale. Established in 1933, World Wide College of Auctioneering has trained more than 40,000 auctioneers throughout the United States, Canada and various countries. Glow Run to be held July 17th ing.
