Ralph Lambert’s2,000- piece

Lotus Lamp

by CLAIRE HOUSER-DODD

After admiring his work for three or four years andtrying to get a busy man cornered for an interview, we havefinally succeeded. Mr. Ralph Lambert, Stained Glass ArtistExtraordinaire, was finally surrounded by women (wifeKathie & yours truly) and cornered by this writer longenough to attain an interview.

We caught Ralph on a Saturday after his morningstained glass class at 101 Oakland Heights Parkway, FortValley, across the railroad tracks from Fred’s and theRailroad Café. The sign out front reads, “Lamberts Schoolof Stained Glass.” And, there is plenty of parking behindthe lovely old Georgia style house for his many students.

Ralph and Kathie Lambert moved from Melbourne,Florida to Fort Valley, Georgia in 2002. For eleven years,they operated a Stained Glass Shop on US Highway 1 inMelbourne, Florida. After getting settled in Fort Valley theydecided to open a shop in Fort Valley with teaching beingthe main concentration. The Fort Valley shop has been inoperation since 2006. By last count, Ralph has taught over6,000 students the art of cutting and piecing stained glasscreations. Four years ago, Ralph and Kathie were StainedGlass Artists in Residence and Judges at the GeorgiaNational Fair.

All the while, Mr. Lambert worked full time withNorthrop Grumman. He has recently retired after 43 years;having started out as a jet engine mechanic after serving inthe Navy; and, after many years of college & a graduateprogram for his Masters, he finished out his career in theContracts Department as Sub-Contract Manager forNorthrop.

Although retired; but not yet retired as his high schoolsweetheart and best friend of 46 years says, “If I’m notretired, you are not retired.” Kathie is the Director for FortValley Downtown Development and she keeps Ralph busyhelping with projects at home or at their 1890’s RetreatHouse on Anderson Avenue, Fort Valley.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Ralph is an expert atmany things including carpentry, building and yard land-scaping. His gazebos and plantings are as artful as hisstained glass endeavors.

The Saturday we talked with Ralph happened to be avery big day for him! It was the day he finished a LouisComfort Tiffany designed flowering Lotus Lamp so master-fully created by Ralph Louis Lambert. (Project of approxi-mately three years.) He was so pleased and proud; we justhad to travel down to the studio to see it. It is indeed awork of art, a truly magnificent lamp, so beautifully craftedwith cobalt blue water, soft green foliage, pink and white

Many people consider theholiday season a hectic time, due to thepreparation and festivities that typically

take place. Stayingsane, not to mentionenjoying the specialtime of the year, iseven more of a chal-lenge when you arecaring for someonewith Alzheimer’sdisease or someother type of cogni-

tive impairment.If you are relatively new to this

role, or your relative has changed sig-nificantly over the past year, you maybe particularly uneasy about theapproaching holidays.

Follow these suggestions to helpkeep stress manageable for everyone inyour household.

Gifts• Shop by mail order or buy gift cards• Use decorative bags and boxes to

streamline wrapping and make it easyfor your relative to participate.

• Keep presents stored away until it istime to exchange them.

• Be prepared when friends ask forsuitable gift ideas for your relative.Suggestions should take into accountcognitive deficits and any physical limi-tations.

Decorating• Do not decorate too far in advance.• Keep decorations minimal and out

of reach as much as possible. Do notdisplay anything that is valuable orfragile.

• Avoid lights that flash or playmusic, as well as sound or motion-acti-vated items that can startle.

• Do not keep food out in the open –for example, a gingerbread house ordish of candy.

• Do not let extension cords dangle orrun across walkways.

• Do not rearrange furniture (considera tabletop tree if necessary) or allowdecorations to block pathways.

• Ensure your Christmas tree has asturdy base so it cannot easily be top-pled.

• Steer clear of holiday decorationsthat could be harmful if ingested.

Entertaining• Whenever possible, entertain at

home rather than take your relative toan unfamiliar place.

• Prepare guests for your relative’scognitive and physical functioning, gen-eral mood and any uncharacteristicbehaviors.

• Enlist a friend to supervise and, ifnecessary, occupy your relative whileyou are engaged in hosting duties.

• Forego mood lighting in favor orwell lit rooms, since shadows maycause confusion and fear. Avoid candles.

• Keep music soft and familiar.• Keep gatherings small. Otherwise,

situate your relative n a quiet spot andhave guest visit one or two at a time.

• Instruct guest to introduce them-selves to your relative by name andrelationship – for example, “I am Mary,your brother John’s wife.”

• Place guests’ coats and handbags ina secure area if your relative is prone torummaging.

• Clean up immediately after enter-taining before your relative has achance to consume anything that mightmake them ill.

• Before inviting overnight guests,consider how disruptive this might be toyour relative’s routines.

Outings• If you accept a holiday invitation,

do so on the condition that you mayback out at the last minute if your rela-tive is having a bad day. Limit the timeand ensure there is a quiet place yourrelative can retreat to if they cannothandle the stimulation.

• Take along medications, adapteddishes and utensils, a bib, extra briefsand a change of clothes as applicable,depending on the timing and duration ofoutings.

• For dinner invitations, bring yourrelative’s preferred foods and beveragesif you are not sure what is on the menu.Recognize that they may not eat as wellas they normally do, because of anxietyor distractions.

• Attend an event without your rela-tive, if it is not feasible to take themwith you. Do not feel guilty; you needand deserve a break.

Further Tips• Let family and friends know your

needs and limitations.• Keep holiday plans simple and do

not overload your relative with details.• Include your relative in preparations

to the best of their ability. This will ori-ent them to the season and make themfeel valued.

• Share holiday memories. Bring outphoto albums or home movies and playfavorite seasonal music.

• Schedule holiday activities duringyour relative’s best time of the day.Space them out and stick to routines asmuch as possible.

• Be prepared for challenging behav-iors and have a plan in place to dealwith them.

• Do not pressure your relative to par-ticipate in festivities. Previouslyenjoyed events may now cause distressif they do not understand what is goingon or no longer recognize family orfriends.

• Last, but not least, find somethingrelaxing you can do to give yourself amini break each day. And do treat your-self to a special gift.

Holiday Hints for Alzheimer’s Caregivers

Nothing is opened more often bymistake than the mouth.

Fort Valley UnitedMethodist Church celebrated its175th Anniversary Sunday beforelast with a huge success. TheChurch began its long run in1840. Approximately 350 peoplecame to honor the longevity of thelovely old church which wasmoved from Everett Square in1901 to its present location on thecorner of Miller and W. Churchstreets, the third home for theMethodist Church. The stainedglass windows could not be morebeautiful. The program bookletpictured them and gave credit tothe participants of the gifts.

As the afternoon service con-tinued after the delicious lunch-eon, and the sun began to set, thewestern windows took on all itspraised glory. A truly spiritual fea-ture.

What a lovely day, What acelebration! And we were honoredby the presence and sermon ofBishop James King, and thankfulfor the hard work of our presentPastor, Doug Mays; AssistantPastor, Chris Carter; MusicMinister, David Loudermilk;Children Director, Sara BethLoudermilk; Youth Director,Michael Hernandez; NurseryAttendants; Amber Alston &Rebecca Camarota; OfficeAdministrator, Kathy Darsey; and,ones we absolutely couldn't dowithout, our local and hardwork-ing Sheila Green and Ann Lanterwho both seem to always be “on-the-scene!” And a special thanksto our favorite piano playerCameron Cody who traveled upfrom Brunswick to perform for uson this special day. And a specialacknowledgement to MissyAdams Johnson who traveled allthe way from Washington state.We're sure she traveled thelongest way to attend our celebra-tion. And we'd like to extend ourcongratulations to her for escap-ing those terrible fires. Twice theycame to the edge of her propertyand stopped. Another miracle.

Interestingly, all these old FortValleyans read in the programsomething about their forebears.We even learned that our grand-mother, Mrs. John A. Houser,wrote an article in 1960 about the120th Anniversary andHomecoming Booklet on theCentennial to the WesleyanChristian Advocate. In the 1940'sit stated that the Epworth Leaguewas organized here in Fort Valleyin 1894 by Mrs. W. B. Mathews.Guess the apple doesn't fall far

from the tree!The old Epworth League

changed to the Methodist YouthFellowship in 1939. Better knownas Sunday Nights “MYF”' whenwe were growing up. And as ourgrandmother said, “The FortValley Methodist Church is proudof its young people. We prayGod's continued blessing onthem.”

Rev. Jim Hamlin and yourstruly agreed, “Even better than theol' All Day Sing'n and Dinner onthe Ground.”

PAINby Gerry Noel

The doctor said I should exerciseBut how can I with this pain in

my backEvery time I bend overI feel like I am being hacked

I am seventy-six years oldEveryday it’s a new painFirst the knees, then the hipMy body parts are driving me insane

I think the pains in the hand arethe worst

It has a crippling effectI remember the daysWhen I could stand erect

Everyday I thank the LordIt’s good to be aliveWith pain in the back, hips, hands

and kneesI really can say I will survive

WEEPING WILLOWby Henry Newton Goldman

A place of beauty and solitude,This corner of the public park.A garden surrounded by weeping

willows,

A statue graced the center – it’sheart.

Around the statue at its base,Beautiful flowers covered the

ground.Blooms of many varieties were there,Grown tall at the pedestal’s mound.

Many agreed, the willows weretoo thick,

The statue was obscured by theshade.

The flowers hid the plaque atit’s base,

Some changes needed to be made.

The beautiful willows were felledand removed,

The flowers were thinned, so toplease.

The plaque could now be read –and revealed,

*The honored soldier and poet of “Trees.”

petals. This certainly is a prize pieceto be cherished a lifetime, and to bepassed on from generation to genera-tion. It just so happens that Ralph &Kathie have four children;Rosemary, Lori, Matthew, Rebecca;all married and altogether presentedthe Lamberts with tenGrandchildren, the latest only fivemonths old. There are six in Floridaand four in Charlotte, N.C. Guessthey can fight over the Lotus Lamp.

Out of those 6,000 students, ourbet is that a few will become reallywell known in the future.

One very talented and presentstudent, Dr. Anna Holloway, has

completed and donated a beautifulstained glass window of a dove set inthe rising sunlight to St. LukeEpiscopal Church in Fort Valley(across from Fort Valley StateUniversity). It is a wondrously spiri-tual creation above the double doorsof the sanctuary.

Ralph has many fine specimensof his expertise, besides the 2,000piece Lotus Lamp, and is planningmany more. When asked how hehappened to choose this Tiffanylamp to do, he answered, “I havealways been a fan of Louis C.Tiffany, and it was something Ialways wanted to do. I’d like to doall the Tiffany style lamps someday.”When asked how many there are, hesaid, “over 30, but I’ve already donefive, so I have about twenty-five

more to go.” We suggested he worka little faster!

If you’d like to see more of Mr.Lambert’s work, you could stop byhis studio, or go on over to theByron Municipal Building on MainStreet in Byron where a commissionof eight windows depicting the histo-ry of Byron, each with a differentscene but all with a beautiful bluesky and white fluffyclouds in the background,was created by Ralph.One thing we learned dur-ing the interview is,besides Ralph’s talent andexpertise, is that the glasschoice is of primaryimportance. He is a mas-ter at choosing perfectglass for the subject. Ineach window, the skyglass came from all thesame sheet of glass socarefully chosen. Lookingat the Byron window, youwill see the old steamlocomotive #630 thattraveled through FortValley to Byron, thesteeple of the MethodistChurch with a stainedglass window beneath.Consequently, we see astained glass windowinside another stainedglass window. Clever!Another of the windowsis a scene of the old JailHouse complete with alock; actually left hanging

open (shades of Mayberry), Peaches& Pecans for the farming industry,the building where 3,000 or soByronites were born, and a renditionof the home of the founder of Byronwhere the present Mayor and hiswife now live, Mayor & Mrs. LarryCollins. It will be a trip to remember,thanks to a very talented man.

Thanks for the interview, Ralph!
