Eviction Halted, Fundraiser Scheduled for Parkwood Farms

With an official halt on the eviction process, the farm now has to raise a very large sum of money.

Dr. Marilyn Peterson will not be evicted from her farm - at least, not until February, 2013. The request for an emergency temporary halt on her eviction was granted last week by Gwinnett Superior Court, and she is in negotiations with her mortgage company to find a way to permanently keep her home.  Currently, the bank is asking for between $150,000 to $175,000 cash.

Equestrian Team Gears up for Special Olympics

Local chiropractor Marilyn Peterson uses horse therapy to help special needs children. Her team will compete in this weekend's Special Olympics.

Dr. Marilyn Peterson is equal parts chiropractor, equine therapist and mother.  The biological mother of three and adoptive mother of another three, she said she finds herself surrounded by children on a regular basis. Fifteen years ago come October, she received a call from a caseworker. She and her husband were already considering adoption, but they weren't quite expecting this: three children, ranging between the ages of 16 months and five years, needed a permanent home. Immediately. The call came on Thursday, and by the following Tuesday they were the children's legal guardians.   The children came from a very bad situation and had their share of emotional challenges, but the youngest, at 16 months, exhibited more than the other two. …
