After cutting his teeth on the cork trivets, though, Dunn became bored with the basic weave pattern and decided to do something more intricate. He had been fascinated with the printing on the corks – the labels, images, names of wine companies and designs – and decided to make his work spell out something. Dunn came up with the idea to soak a group of corks in red wine for a few days to die them. He then used those to create letters. He contacted a winery in Atlanta called Joy of Wine and it sent Dunn corks from its tasting room. Intrigued by the winery’s unique labels on the corks, he spelled out “Joy of Wine” with the died pieces in his new creation. A friend in Greenville framed the piece, and Dunn had created his first true framed work of art made from corks. He had found his niche. “There are very few peo- ple who are doing this,” Dunn said of his hobby. Photo submitted “It’s rare. Nobody in this Robert Dunn with his work ʻThe Swan,ʼ which is displayed at the Columbus State University college of business, where Dunn part of the country does it. works. Dunn said he likes having his work somewhere secure where people can see it and isnʼt out to sell his work. The pieces are almost like children to me.” Next, Dunn skipped the soaking step and used just the already reddened tips of the wine corks to create another piece with text. This time, bearing the longer phrase “I love to cook with wine, sometimes I even put it into the food.” From there, Dunn’s inter- est and the complexity of his work grew. Expanding from using the died corks to spell out phrases, Dunn started collecting different types of corks to create new images. “The Swan,” took Dunn an entire winter to com- plete and hangs in the busi- ness college at Columbus State University, where Dunn works. Utilizing corks with different pat- terns and shapes, and intri- cately cutting into them to ABOVE: Several of Dunnʼs works, which were made using various corks create a contrast of images and techniques.

The synthetic corks are some of the hardest for Dunn to get. The piece initially was going to take 700 corks, but he wasnʼt able to get enough, so he cut the corks in half. ‘There are very few people who are doing this. It’s rare.

Though his team was ahead 27-23, Hayes wasn’t pleased with the effort his team was putting forth against an overmatched op- ponent. The Cavaliers would re- spond in the second half, outscoring the Braves 51-23 to runaway with a 78-46 vic- tory in Hogansville. The win puts the Cava- liers (6-10) above .500 in Re- gion 5-AA at 3-2, while Heard County (0-14, 0-4) re- mained winless. “I was pleased with the Kevin Eckleberry | LaGrange Daily News way we came out in the sec- Troup’s Eric Bridges splits LaGrange’s defense during the first half of Friday’s game.

The Tigers outscored the Grangers 20-5 in the final quarter to break open a close game and take a 69-53 vic- tory before a packed house at LaGrange High. The win allowed the Tigers (14-4 overall) to finish the first half of their Region 6-AAA schedule with a 6-0 Evans record, while the Grangers (13-5) are 4-2 in the region. As the third quarter ended, it looked like it was going to be another dramatic finish, much like the previous powers meeting between the two teams in the championship game of the LaGrange Toyota Holiday Classic.

wo of the most popular New Year’s resolutions are losing weight and eating healthier. But by the time the big game Trolls around, many people are ready for a break — or looking for an excuse to cheat. But kick - off does not have to be a signal to punt your healthy-eating habits. Registered dietitian Jodie Shield knows it can be a struggle to celebrate and stay healthy. She’s put together some win-win tips and recipes — healthy and delicious — that are sure to keep fans cheering for more:  Know your game plan. If you’re the home team (i.e. the party host), you get to call the plays. Serve entrees that are lean and festive, such as Touchdown Turkey Chili. Or prepare a thin whole wheat crust pizza using reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and lots of sliced veggies.  Offer a starting line-up of healthier appe - tizers. Whip some traditional game day favorites into shape. Instead of nachos, serve baked chips with salsa. Pass on the salt and butter and sprinkle a dash of Parmesan cheese over popcorn. Forget the fried chicken wings and serve baked chicken tenders seasoned with Hidden Valley Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix.  Think fresh. Skip the super subs and set up a sandwich bar with lean deli meats such as turkey breast and ham, low-fat cheese slices and prepped veggies — like sliced tomato and shredded lettuce — and low-fat toppings.  Pass on super big portions. No matter what foods are served, remember you don’t have to eat the whole thing. Grab a small plate and load half of it up with fresh veggies and baked chips.  Get in on the action. During halftime, grab your guests and head outdoors for a quick game of touch football. You can always record the commercials so you don’t miss out.
