From serving delinquent tax notices to dealing with unruly peacocks, enforcing the code of ordnances is no walk in the park! This month we got together with Chief Marshal Mike Carswell to get to the bottom of what his office is and is not responsible for. The interview is quite illuminating as Mike clears up misconceptions, provides resources, and reveals his personal philosophy for how he approaches law enforcement. Later in the episode Chairman Stancil takes a viewer question and walks us through the county’s response to the recent tornados and where matters stand today. Remember if you have a question for Kris, you can submit it to questions@pickenscountyga.gov.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
