White County News

by Debbie GilbertWhite County News

Odd-numbered years are typically when municipal elections are held, so you might be wondering: Why did Helen have an elec-tion and Cleveland didn’t?

The answer: Two seats on the five-mem-ber Cleveland City Council were up for elec-tion this year. Both incumbents – Edward

Young in Ward 3 and Bradley Greene in Ward 4 – chose to run for re-election, and no other candidates signed up to oppose them.

So Cleveland was spared the expense of holding an election, and the incumbents are automatically re-elected to their posts.

Young has served on the city council since 1970. Greene has been a council mem-ber since 2006.

Dr. Josh Kinsey an-nounced Monday, Nov. 4, that his pharmacy on the square will be merging with the Cleveland Rite Aid Pharmacy on Thurs-day, Nov. 14.

The last day of business for the pharmacy on the square will be Wednesday, Nov. 13.

Patients were notified earlier this week.

“A while back, they (Rite Aid) made me a random offer, and I thought it was worth looking into,” said Kinsey, 32, who opened Cleveland Pharma-cy & Gifts in July 2009.

“We have been here about 4½ years, and it’s been great,” he said. “Our patients have been won-derful and loyal. That’s the hard part. We hope we aren’t disappointing our customers.”

The “good news,” he added, is that he and his pharmacy technician Mary Pardue will be mov-ing to Rite Aid, located just up the road at the intersection of U.S. 129 and Wilford Ash Parkway.

“This was an extremely difficult deci-sion,” Kinsey told the White County News earlier this week. “It was really a bitter-sweet decision.”

He added: “Independent pharmacy isn’t what it used to be. This is not what I fell in love with many years ago. There’s not a marketplace for small independents. And the unknown is frightening, with too much red tape and involvement from the government. We can’t take the hits like a

big chain, and don’t have the strength of 50,000 stores. We were doing fine financially. But considering everything, the offer was something I couldn’t turn down.”

He said that Rite Aid bought all his patient files, and “there will be an automatic transfer of all our patient re-cords to Rite Aid.”

“After we close on Wednes-day, Nov. 13, Rite Aid will be

ready to help any patient the very next day. Even if the patients dial our number, they will be routed to Rite Aid,” he said.

Kinsey added that The Soda Fountain Café, owned by Eric and Jodi Bowen, will continue to operate as usual, as will the gift shop, which he owns. (Jodi Bowen is Josh’s sister).

Eric Bowen told the White County News Tuesday that he and his wife plan to


Last month, thousands of White County residents got some disturbing news: As of Nov. 1, their food-stamp benefits would be reduced.

That’s because Congress has cut about $5 billion from the budget for “food stamps,” now officially known as SNAP (the Supple-mental Nutrition Assistance Program).

Enrollment in SNAP has almost doubled since the recession left many families with smaller paychecks (or no job at all). The

2009 “stimulus” bill temporarily boosted funding for SNAP, but now that infusion of federal cash has expired.

Deficit hawks say the program has gotten way too big, with nearly 1 in 7 Americans now receiving food assistance. But advo-cates for the poor say the economy hasn’t recovered and people still need help.

Eligibility for SNAP is based on income and the number of people in the household. The recent cut in benefits will mean an estimated 16 fewer meals per month for a

City of Helen voters on Tuesday, Nov. 5,

returned two incumbents to office and chose a new face as well.

The top vote-getter was Fred Garmon, who will be the new face on the city com-mission when he takes office Jan. 1, 2014.

Incumbents Helen Wilkins and Judy Holloway were re-elected to serve four-year terms.

Only 139 of Helen’s 440 registered voters (32 percent) turned out for the election. Each voter could choose three candidates.

The unofficial voting totals were: Fred Garmon, 98; Helen Wilkins, 94; Judy Hol-loway, 82; Phil Irish, 54; and Lynn Whitener, 41.

A total of 112 voted on Nov. 5, and there were 27 early and absentee ballots cast.

“It is humbling to get that many votes and it’s nice to know that people got out to vote,” Garmon said. “To the ones who voted for me, I’m going to do my very best to repre-sent them in a fair and professional manner. For those who did not vote for me, I promise to represent them in a fair and professional manner.”Helen Wilkins, left, gives a congratulatory hug to Judy Holloway. Both were re-

elected to city commission seats in the Helen election Nov. 5. In addition, Fred Garmon won a seat on the commission. (Photos/Linda Erbele)

Fred Garmon received the highest vote total in Tuesday’s election – 98 votes.

The White County Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours will be held at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 21, at Reflections Mall at 671 Helen Highway in Cleveland.

Invitations will be mailed to all members. If you would like to attend as a prospective member, call the chamber at 706-865-5356.

The date was incorrectly published in last week’s Chamber Advocate.

The name of the nurse who administered the oath of adoption to Swamp People stars Troy Landry and Brandon Hotard was inadvertently misspelled in last week’s paper. The correct spelling for her name is Brooklyn Waldrip.

If going to VA Hospital in Decatur a hassle, then let these guys do the driving for you

The Disabled American Veterans Chapter 17, in con-junction with the Atlanta Veterans Administration Medi-cal Center, will provide any veteran in Northeast Georgia free transport in a brand-new passenger van from various locations in Gainesville, direct to the front door of the VA Medical Center.

The only requirement is that you schedule a morning appointment and arrive at the designated departure point on time, according to Sam Smith, chapter commander.

To learn more about this service or schedule a trip, please call or contact the van coordinator, Max Corner, at home phone: 770-967-9063, cell phone: 678-315-1165, or e-mail [email protected]

Several veterans from the White County area are taking advantage of this service by driving to Gainesville, Corner said.

“We’d be happy to have more from White County,” Corner said.

“This is a free van service, once you get to Gainesville.”

“We urge everyone to drop by our office and learn about the types of services we offer, and let us know what kind of programs you would like to see. We will also be gather-ing e-mail addresses for our new online newsletter, as well as encouraging folks to get involved with our local youth through volunteering with the 4-H program,” Gregory said.

Because Monday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day and govern-ment offices are closed, the Cleveland City Council has rescheduled its Monday meeting for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, in the City Hall Annex.

How to show respect for U.S. flagIn 2008, an amendment to the U.S. Code authorized

veterans and members of the armed forces, when not in uni-form, to render the military hand salute on occasions where a flag is used.

Participation encourages patriotism and stands as a re-minder to the more than 22 million U.S. veterans.

The proper way for non-veterans to show respect is by placing their hand over their heart. The hand salute is reserved for veterans and armed forces members.

the teacher’s lesson, the student would drift away on his own thoughts, allowing creative daydreaming to fill his mind.

These days, daydreamers are rare. In their stead sit students whose faces glow with the reflection of smart phones that draw their attention like a summer porch light draws moths.

And like the light that renders our airborne insects without enough sense to fly away and discover other delights, the phone vacuums up every spare minute of down time and leaves our students – and some of us, too – glued to an electron-ic wall that paralyzes our creative thinking processes.

CNN writer Doug Gross recently ad-dressed the issue in a Sept. 26 article titled “Have smartphones killed boredom (and is that good)?” After quoting numerous people who say they always have their phones in hand, Gross surmises that “…we’re becom-ing a society that’s ready to kill even a few seconds of boredom with a tap on a touch-screen.”

That willingness to sacrifice those gaps of time that people used to let their minds wander can be costly, says epidemiologist Caroline Buckee, one of CNN’s 10 Thinkers for 2013.

Quoted in CNN Todd Leopold’s Oct. 23 article “Why being a thinker means pocket-ing your smartphone,” Buckee says, “You can’t make headway without thinking about a problem for a long time, in collaboration with smart researchers from different fields, as well as reading a lot. But sometimes that hard work reaches fruition or comes together at a random time once you have let thoughts settle down.”

Leopold goes on to suggest that shun-ning daydreaming in favor of browsing our phones for information, friend updates or game playing is making us stupid.

He quotes John Seely Brown, the former head of a research center lab for Xerox.

“I think kids today are afraid of being bored,” Brown told CNN for a series on creativity. “And that (when you’re bored) is when you imagine something.”

What people need, argue Leopold and Gross, are those breaths of intellectual air in which people can let ideas begin to swirl and provide the room for new ideas to take flight.

Giving up those times to a smart phone and sacrificing daydreaming results in a loss of creativity.

“In recent years…psychologists and neu-roscientists have redeemed this mental state, revealing the ways in which mind-wander-ing is an essential cognitive tool,” Jonah Lehrer writes in 2012 for The New Yorker magazine. “It turns out that whenever we are slightly bored—when reality isn’t quite enough for us—we begin exploring our own associations, contemplating counterfactuals and fictive scenarios that only exist within the head.”

In a 2012 study comparing four groups of people at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Benjamin Baird and Jona-than Schooler found that the people who were given time to be bored came up with 41 percent more possibilities when asked for creative ideas.

Seems to me that the kid whose mind drifted out the window may have been onto something.

Shun instant media and daydream

The baseball season ended with the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series. Lots of people have lost interest because foot-ball has already hit mid-season

and basketball is also cranking up. Plus, the Braves didn’t make it.

We watch the Series games, sort of root-ing for Boston, since the Braves folded their tent early. We like baseball and dearly love and follow the Braves, the players, coaches, etc. But I couldn’t help but notice some of the more intimate details among baseball players recently.

And the intimacy relates to the fact that baseball players seem to be hugging more than ever. Don’t get me wrong here, and to quote Mr. Seinfield of comedy fame, “not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

Hugging, that is.To be honest with you, I have

enjoyed hugging nearly all my life. I say nearly, because when I was a bit smaller and younger, I wasn’t all that crazy about getting a hug. Especially when my aunt Josephine came to visit, because I knew that right after the hug, there was a big, sloppy “aunt kiss” coming.

Somewhere around age 14 or 15, I began to change my attitude about hugging. From then on, it became quite a delight, and frankly, I have enjoyed hugging more the older I got. In fact, I find that nowadays, I will take a hug from almost anyone.

You will note, however, I did say almost. I have my limits. So, let me be brutally hon-est and up front.

I have never received a hug from a base-ball player, or football player, or, heaven forbid, a soccer player. And the main reason as you might surmise, is because the afore-mentioned sports persons have always been those of the male species. The hugging that

I have enjoyed most of my life has been with the female species. There is a differ-ence, you know.

I suppose it all started with my upbring-ing. My father, and all the men I ever knew, believed in a firm handshake. That indicated you were a straight shooter and your father taught you the importance of making a good impression. Men hugging each other was, well, let’s just say, frowned upon.

Then, I got involved with sports activi-ties. This produced lots of “attaboys” and pats on the back. Later, the patting got a bit lower. Next thing I knew lots of my fellow

players were patting me on the bot-tom. Up to that point, only my dad and mother patted me there.

Things change. Most of us accept change, sometimes gradually, and sometimes grudgingly. Soon there were high fives, and low fives, and middle fives. Football players began banging up against each other, jump-ing into shoulder pads, thigh pads, and posterior pads, if there is such a thing. Basketball players do a version now and then of a funky patty-cake five.

Back to hugging. Baseball players have suddenly brought hugging to a fine art. For example, if you play for the Braves, first baseman Freddie Freeman is going to seek you out and slap a hug on you. And, of course, when Boston won the Series, the whole team hugged the whole team. Player by player came running in, one at a time, jumping into the group hug.

I read somewhere that hugging is good for what ails you. Maybe these guys are onto something.

Whole lot of huggin’ going on

I am not a veteran. I was in the 11th grade in 1968, when the Vietnam War was raging and battle scenes were televised every night on the CBS Evening News.

By the time I got to Georgia Southern College in the fall of 1969, the war was tearing our country apart. On campus, there were groups for and against the war. And it was ugly when the two groups met.

By 1969, I had a new 1-A draft card, meaning that I, like every other healthy male in the U.S., was in a position to be drafted, college or no college.

I didn’t want to be drafted. I had just turned 18 and, honestly, was not soldier material. I’m not sure I could have made it through boot camp, much less deployment to the jungles in Southeast Asia.

Then came the draft lottery. Depending on when a ball with your birth date written on it was selected, your chances of being drafted were high, moderate or low. Because of my number, my chances were low.

I breathed a sigh of relief. As I said, I didn’t want to go to Vietnam. But I would have gone. Not that there was really a choice, beyond going to Canada. But this is why I decided I had no choice but to go, if drafted: I didn’t want to let my father down.

World War II was a defining moment in my father’s life. He didn’t storm the beaches at Normandy, or fight the Japanese on some island in the South Pacific.

But he did travel halfway around the world to Cairo, Egypt, where he was part of the quartermaster corps in the U.S. Army.

Those years – 1942 and 1943 – he served his country. And those years made him into the father I knew.

My father loved America with all his might. He loved the American flag. He loved the Armed Forces – all branches. He was a faithful member of the local Ameri-can Legion Post when he returned home to

South Georgia. The war allowed my father to see the

world, and also to see that war is not like the movies. Before going overseas, he was based at Ft. Nix, N.J., where he met guys similar to himself from all over the country.

He then boarded an ocean liner and was shipped to Egypt around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. By the time he arrived in the Egyptian desert, he knew he wasn’t in South Georgia anymore.

His division was charged with providing the American and British fighting forces with all the supplies they needed. While my father was there, Gen. Barnard Montgomery became the hero of El Alamein. His North African victory, in November 1942, after three years of British defeats and retreats, marked a turning point in the war, much the way the Battle of Midway did in the Pacific.

My father was one of thousands of U.S. GI’s to serve in Egypt. He was just a guy with a typewriter,

helping keep up with supplies. While overseas, he had the privilege of

being under the leadership of Col. Philip Burket, who had fought in World War I. Col. Burket was from Altoona, Pa. He was a real leader, a man who led by example. My father watched; he was impressed with what he saw. The people my father met and the things he experienced when he was in the military made him a better man, I believe.

I still have hanging in our den his World War II plaque denoting he was a sergeant. Every time Veterans Day rolls around, I think about my father. And I think about all those men and women who have served our country with honor and dignity.

To them I say thanks. Billy Chism is editor and publisher of the

White County News.

WWII was a defining timein my father’s life

by BillyChism

One of the best parts of today’s paper is the 16-page “Salute

to White County Veterans” edition.

It is truly a section that makes you want to thank a veteran. We have listed 115 veterans or active military personnel who call White County home.

These people have provided us with a photo, along with their rank, dates of service, and any honors, medals or campaigns.

Just browsing through the section gives you an idea of how many people have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Marines.

Many are World War II veterans. Some served in the Korean War, while many others were Vietnam Vets. A few who are listed saw action in WWII, Korea and Vietnam.

It’s hard to believe the sacrifice.

And, that sacrifice continues – even today. We have men and women serving in the military, stationed at bases in the United States, as well as in countries around the world.

These men and women also deserve our respect and gratitude, along with the veterans who went before them.

Thank you. – B.C.

Thanks,veterans

To the Editor:

If you like great theater, then you really need to go see the White County High School’s perfor-mance of Into the Woods.

I almost didn’t go because I didn’t want to see Sondheim mangled

by a group of amateurs. Boy, was I ever mistaken. The students and their director produced a stunning perfor-mance.

They will do it again this Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 7-9, with a 7 p.m. performance each night. And they

will close this great show on Sunday, Nov. 10, with a 2:30 p.m. perfor-mance. Don’t miss it!

To the Editor:

It begins at the center and spirals outward. And, as it does, good things begin to hap-pen.

Empty parking spaces fill up. The sounds of people talking can be heard. Perhaps the most impor-tant of all, money starts to change hands. Tax revenue is collected. If you have not already figured it out, I am talking about our town square.

Cleveland has always been a “pass-through” to get to where the real fun is. A

logjam of Atlanta-like traf-fic forms on Saturday morn-ings and Sunday evenings as people fight their way through our town to reach other destinations.

Why is that? Because there is no reason – let me repeat that – no reason whatsoever to stop in down-town Cleveland.

The fringe areas are oc-cupied by a cacophony of fast-food eateries and the standard retail stores that can be found in most other small towns.

But, with the exception of one eclectic clothing

store, there is not one draw on our square for the tourist trade.

We need a city govern-ment that is committed to doing whatever it takes to change this.

That might involve time spent on the Internet search-ing for businesses that would be a fit for our needs.

It might include mak-ing trips and encouraging business owners to open a storefront on our square.

Some of this responsibil-ity should fall on the owners of the vacant properties.

Instead, the collective

we is sitting idly by and watches our hometown die a slow death.

The sad thing is that we have the power to change this.

Instead, we are build-ing a bypass to help people avoid the traffic congestion on the weekends.

What we should be thinking about is how to capitalize on it.

This is to thank Ms. Sonya Kassouf for the awesome vet-erans’ program

and luncheon she and all her volunteers put on. So many were involved, from the ROTC at the high school and many more I cannot remember. It was held last week at The Bridge Church, which donated its space for the event.

This program is held the last Tuesday of every Octo-ber, and ALL veterans, past, present, and future, and their spouses are invited.

You cannot imagine how many volunteers and spon-sors it took to put on this elaborate event.

I believe all the veterans were very proud.

So, if you are a veteran, or know one, please come next year. It was in the White County News and a big banner was hung on the front of the Courthouse lawn, so everybody had to know about it. If you come, you will be glad you did.

By the way, the meal was superb, too. Thanks to all you cooks who prepared it, and thanks to all our veterans for your service. Freedom is not free.

To the Editor:

I regret to inform Ms. Joan King that every White County News reader’s mind is not yet turned off, as she suggests in her latest and typically grossly uninformed anti-nuclear-

power epistle. A great many of us readers/electri-

cal power consumers still have our minds “turned on,” Ms. King.

I further inform Ms. King that the nuclear power industry has most definitely not overlooked lessons learned following the Fukushima disaster. Untold millions of domestic utility dollars are being spent to ensure that the Fukushima event will never be replicated in America, or anywhere else in the world for that matter.

These funds are being spent on battery-

powered system upgrades, emergency operating procedure improvements, and too many more things to list.

I worked at a nuclear power plant for a mere 25 years, but Ms. King obviously knows more about nuclear power issues than I do.

And oh, by the way, I’ll work at the Nine Mile Point nuclear plant in New York State for a week in mid-November, and I’ll be sure to take a copy of Ms. King’s article with me.

The good folks (who also have their minds turned on) at Nine Mile Point are way overdue for a hearty laugh.

Another view on nuclear power

To the Editor:

Recently my brother-in-law and his family came to White County with the hope of, among other things, viewing the often-

times gorgeous display of fall foliage. Unfortunately, his timing was off

by a few weeks. More unfortunately, he was given an ample number of opportunities to view the profusion of prominently displayed trash lining our roads and marring the beauty of White County.

It seems that no matter what time

of year one visits our beautiful county, one cannot help but witness the unsightly spectacle of beer cans, soda cans, fast food packaging, etc. strewn along our roadways.

Yes, there’s no special season for trash here; come winter, spring, sum-mer, or fall, you can’t miss it!

Even after it’s been removed, wait just a little while and it will appear again. It is truly a shame that in a county that abounds with so many wondrous gifts that some people treat them with such disregard.

What does it take to come to the

realization that any human act detract-ing from the beauty of anything counts as a slap in the face of God?

Perhaps there are those who realize this and don’t really care. I’m inclined to think that this is the case, because I find it virtually self-evident that such behavior is offensive to God.

Let us not forget that “Gehenna,” the word for hell in the New Testa-ment, originally referred to a garbage dump.

Local government meeting times

This week I had the opportunity to hear Harry Rosenfeld speak about his new

book, From Kristallnacht to Watergate: Memoirs of a Newspaperman.

Rosenfeld was the metropolitan editor at the Washington Post when burglars broke into the headquarters of the Democratic National Commit-tee at the Watergate Office Complex June 17, 1972. The Post had a national editor and national staff, but a simple burglary fell under the metro section. Rosenfeld’s reporter Bob Wood-ward was in court for the arraignment of the burglars and overheard one of them refer to the CIA.

Another reporter, Carl Bernstein, had a friend at the local police station, and had the opportunity to look through some of the evi-dence. One of the burglars had a notebook in his pocket with the notation “E.Hunt, W.House” penciled in.

The two reporters, men with very different person-alities and styles, began to work together on the story, and most people, including those in other newspapers, paid very little attention. President Richard Nixon, running for re-election that year, said his administra-tion was not involved in the break-in and was re-elected in November of that year in a landslide.

The two reporters, with tips from the source known for decades only as “Deep Throat,” continued to investigate and ended up breaking the story of the century – one that ultimately led to the resignation of the president.

This was the story that sent many idealistic baby-boomers to journalism school.

Rosenfeld had his hands full, supporting his report-ers and their unnamed sources, arguing with his bosses about keeping the story rather than giving it to the national section of the

paper once it became big, and even worrying about his personal safety, because there were powerful people who didn’t want the story to come to light.

He went as far as making arrangements with a friend to transport his family to Canada should “anything

happen” to him.Rosenfeld him-

self was nine years old and a Jew living in Berlin, Germany, in 1938. He saw his father arrested by the Gestapo and sent via train to Po-land. Three months later, on Nov. 9, his mother received a message to take her family to the Polish

embassy in Berlin, which she did.

That night later became famous as Kristallnacht. Troops and mobs raged through Jewish neighbor-hoods in Germany and Aus-tria, attacking buildings and people. There were 91 Jews killed and 30,000 arrested and sent to concentration camps. The name Kristall-nacht refers to a night of broken glass, because there were so many windows broken.

Rosenfeld said his family was given the word early the next morning that they could go home, and he still remembers the crunch underfoot as they walked home. Their house and store had not been damaged, but many others had.

They were reunited with his father within a few months, and the next year the family was allowed to come to the United States.

Rosenfeld spoke at the Atlanta Jewish Book Festi-val, one of many fascinat-ing speakers scheduled now through Nov. 17. Most events are held at the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta in Sandy Springs. It takes about an hour and 20 minutes to get there, and the festival is open to the public.

State Capitol Impact

by TomCrawford

You will see them in every election cycle.

People who have never been elected to political office

before, who have little money, and who are unknown to most voters, get the idea in their heads that they can run for governor or the U.S. Senate.

You have to figure that most of them surely know they have no realistic chance of winning. Or don’t they?

These are “vanity candi-dates,” because the only thing they can hope to accomplish with a political suicide mis-sion is the gratification of their egos. I guess it’s flatter-ing to have the local news-paper include your name in election articles.

It’s a rare vanity candidate who draws more than 1 percent of the actual vote, but still they pay a large qualification fee and devote a lot of their energy to the effort.

In some cases, these candidates do it because it’s a good way to drum up public notice and pro-

mote their businesses or profes-sional careers.

Herman Cain is an example of this. The businessman launched his first campaign in 2004 when he ran in the Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat.

Cain was an energetic campaigner and dynamic speaker, but it was clear he had no real chance to win a statewide GOP primary. He attracted more than 20 percent of the vote but lost decisively to Johnny Isakson.

The media atten-tion Cain received as a black conservative candidate, however,

gave his career a huge boost. He got a job as a talk radio host in Atlanta, launched another losing campaign for the presidency, and was invited to make numerous ap-pearances on Fox TV.

Saxby Chambliss’ decision to step down from the U.S. Senate next year created an opening that

has attracted vanity candidates like a jar of honey attracts flies.

There are several current or for-mer officeholders running in the Republican primary for the seat: U.S. Reps. Paul Broun of Athens, Phil Gingrey of Cobb County and Jack Kingston of Savannah, along with former secretary of state Karen Handel.

Each of these candidates is fair-ly well known to voters, and they have anywhere from $300,000 to nearly $3 million in their cam-paign bank accounts.

David Perdue is an obscure businessman who might normally be dismissed as a vanity candi-date, but his decision to put $1.1 million of his own money into the campaign – along with the fact that he is Sonny Perdue’s cousin – means he should be taken seriously.

There are other candidates in the senate primary who should not be taken as seriously.

Eugene Yu was born in Korea but emigrated with his family to the Augusta area more than 40 years ago. He’s a former Rich-

mond County sheriff’s deputy who now runs his own business.

Yu has raised less than $40,000 in contributions, although he says he has loaned his campaign $202,000. I don’t think that money is going to do him much good.

Derrick Grayson is a DeKalb County minister who also says he’s running for the GOP nomi-nation, but he’s raised less than $5,000, which includes a $1,000 loan from himself. That isn’t going to take you very far in a statewide race.

On the Democratic side, Mi-chelle Nunn has emerged as an early frontrunner who raised more than $1.7 million in her first 10 weeks of campaigning. She also has some name recognition as the daughter of retired senator Sam Nunn.

Nunn has energized the Demo-cratic Party base, with many of the party’s activists and elected officials already supporting her. It appears she will win the nomina-tion without breaking much of a sweat.

There are other folks running as Democrats such as Branko Radulovacki, a naturalized citizen from what was once known as Yugoslavia who’s now an Atlanta psychiatrist calling himself “Dr. Rad.”

Dr. Rad has raised $103,458, a commendable amount for a novice candidate. In this race, the chances that he can overtake the frontrun-ner are still slim and Nunn.

Todd Robinson of Colum-bus and Steen Miles of DeKalb County also claim to be running for the Democratic nomination, but like Dr. Rad, they probably won’t make much of a dent in the race.

You have to admire them for trying – and maybe that’s what re-ally matters to a vanity candidate.

I grew up in “May-berry.”

My hometown, Geneva, in southeast Alabama, at one time

listed its official population at 5,000.

However, I think that was a little bit of a stretch. Maybe if you counted the farmers and their families who lived beyond the fringe of the city limit…and a few of their cows, too, you might scrounge up 5,000. But it was for sure “Mayberry.”

Most of you remember The Andy Griffith Show on TV in the 1960s.

Mayberry was a little made-up town that had quirky but honest, peace-loving residents. My home-town mirrored its profile.

There were tradi-tions there that we kept and fiercely fought to protect. The people took their time making and being friends and they rarely said or did anything that would become a blemish on the town’s name.

Daddies worked hard to bring home the bacon and mommas worked hard to keep it on the table. We all had vegetable gardens and fruit trees at our disposal,

and our yard even had a ca-talpa tree where we used the larvae that fed on its leaves for fish bait.

Catfish, bream, and shell crackers loved them, and cane-pole fishing on a sum-mer morning was a taste of heavenly peace.

For the last 26 years my husband and I lived in Music City – Nashville, Tenn. It’s a wonderful place to live, too.

Stars come out there just like everywhere else, but most of them shine the brightest on Sat-urday night at the Opry.

Yes, it was great to occasionally look up and see

George Jones and Eddie Arnold – may they rest in peace – in line at the grocery store.

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw attended our church at one time, as did Tammy Wyn-ette (RIP). I even saw Carrie Underwood at Bed Bath & Beyond, for heaven sakes!

But things changed. Our time in the city came to an end, and here I am now back in Mayberry – this time it’s named Cleveland – home of Cabbage Patch Kids and gateway to the Ap-palachian Mountains.

It’s taking a little while for us to adapt to the change of pace. Everything moves slower here. Traffic. Time. Internet. Speech patterns.

But stars apparently come out here, too, on Fri-

day nights in the fall. It does my heart good to be back in a place where storefronts paint words of encourage-ment for its high school football team. Go Warriors!

Yep. I’m back in May-

berry and enjoying every slow and wonderful mo-ment.

The people we trust to enforce the laws mat-ter.

If you know my dad, you know he’s dedi-

cated most of his life to enforcing our state’s laws as a Georgia State Trooper. The example he set was one of integrity, trust and honesty.

I remembered that later in life when I found myself studying law at John Marshall and helping make laws at the same time as a member of the Georgia House of Representa-tives, and I think of it often now in Congress.

The letter of the law is impor-

tant, but those who carry out the law matter.

That’s what makes the build-ing file of news stories about the actions of the National Security Agency (NSA – and President

Obama’s role in them – a real cause for congressional concern.

Finding the balance be-tween certainty in civil liber-ties and vigilance in national security is one of the great challenges of our modern times.

Congress tried to act in good faith over the last decade to strike that bal-ance, but it’s evident that the intent of these laws has to

be made more clear, especially in how they’re applied to American

citizens.It used to be that we drafted

laws based on their neces-sity. Now, we have to draft laws in a way that factors in the political motivations of those we’re sup-posed to trust to enforce them.

In the last few months alone, President Obama’s administra-tion has failed to provide reason-able explanations about abuses in domestic surveillance.

From diligent reporters to our close allies, it seems no one is safe from President Obama’s habit of spying without disclosure.

On top of that, there are still too many unanswered questions about how much information the NSA has collected on Americans who have never meant this coun-try any harm.

This divided Congress is a reflection of a divided country in many ways, but if there’s any issue I’ve seen Republicans and Democrats find common ground over, it’s been looking for solu-tions to protect our civil liberties.

Last week, I joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers to sponsor legislation that would allow tech companies, like cell phone service providers and Internet-based services like Facebook, to make public the number of requests they receive from the federal govern-ment and how many individuals those requests impact.

In the name of security and in-dividual privacy, we’re not asking for the details, but understanding the scope of those requests is vital.

Congress has to make sure we

clarify the proper objectives of our intelligence community, and that if law-abiding Americans are impacted, it’s done in a constitu-tional way.

I trusted my dad to enforce the law with honesty and fair-ness because I knew what kind of man he was. Personal integrity is something you can’t legislate, but systemic integrity is something we have to build now. With a presi-dent like this one, transparency is non-negotiable.

Rep. Doug Collins represents the Ninth Congressional District of Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“We’re going to keep do-ing what we’ve been doing, and try to prepare something new from time to time, just like we always have,” Bowen said. “We appreciate everyone’s support.”

As for the gift shop, Kin-sey will keep it open Mon-day through Saturday, with Jennifer Whitaker running it on Monday, Wednesday,

Friday and Saturday. Vickie Daniel will run it Tuesday and Thursday.

As for the Cleveland Pharmacy, it will be closed this Saturday, Nov. 9, for transition preparations. On that day, the gift boutique will operate it regular hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. , and The Soda Fountain Café will operate its normal Saturday hours of 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Soda Fountain Café’s normal hours are

11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday. These hours will re-main the same, Bowen said.

Kinsey said he hopes his current patients will continue to do business with him and Mary.

“We’re hoping they will think highly enough of us to go over to Rite Aid,” he said.

In September 2013 in White County, 1,855 house-holds – representing 4,233 people – received SNAP benefits. That adds up to more than $550,000 in fed-eral money spent locally.

Statewide, an average of 1.9 million Georgians receive SNAP assistance, for a total of $255 million each month.

It’s not yet clear how these people will be affected by the reduction in benefits (which is actually just the initial round; Congress is planning additional cuts in the future).

In some cases, recipients will adjust by cutting some-thing else in their household budget in order to pay for groceries. SNAP par-ticipants no longer receive “food stamps”; instead, they use a debit card that can be swiped at retailers such as Walmart and Ingles, and there are no restrictions on what kind of food they can buy.

But if they use up their allotted SNAP funds before the end of the month and can’t scrape together extra money to purchase food, some people will turn to charities for help.

“We anticipate more sign-ups,” said Wayne Burnett, CEO of the White County Food Pantry. “But it’s too early to tell how much this is going to affect us.”

The food pantry, which has eligibility criteria re-garding income and house-hold size, currently serves about 600 White County families a month, represent-ing about 2,500 people.

Burnett said the pantry has managed to keep operat-ing throughout the econom-

ic downturn.“We get food continu-

ously, through drives and donations,” he said. “We’ve never run out of food, knock on wood. But we may have to give a little less (per person).”

Each enrolled family is allowed to come and get food once every 30 days at the pantry’s office near Pioneer RESA. It doesn’t operate like a grocery store; recipients simply get a package of whatever food is available.

“The amount fluctuates,” Burnett said. “We give out between 30 and 55 pounds of food per family, per month, depending on what we have.”

Families are not allowed to come to the county pantry more than once a month.

But several local churches also operate food pantries. For example, Burnett said Mt. Yonah Baptist Church, located on Asbestos Road, is planning to hold a “mobile food pantry” on the first Sat-urday of the month begin-ning in December.

Aside from the families directly affected by the SNAP reduction, it’s unclear whether this will have an impact on White County’s overall economy.

If SNAP recipients can come up with cash to compensate for the loss of benefits, they’ll continue to shop at local groceries. But if they’re relying on donated food to get through the month, that’s less money they’re spending in stores.

If you pitch a tent in a public place in Cleveland, you can expect a visit from the cops.

At their Nov. 4 meeting, the Cleveland City Council passed an ordinance prohib-iting unauthorized camping within city limits.

The new law was drafted in response to complaints from Cleveland Police Chief John Foster, who noted that his department has recently dealt with a number of illegal camping incidents.

Typically, the viola-tors will set up camp in a wooded area behind a busi-ness, such as a grocery store

or gas station. Previously, the police could only charge them with trespassing. Now, there is a specific charge for “urban camping.”

The ordinance does not prohibit people from camp-ing on private property as long as they have permis-sion from the landowner.

Also at the Nov. 4 meet-ing, the council heard a re-quest from Mike Roberson, owner of Cornelia-based Wolf Creek BBQ.

Roberson, who prepares his food in a commercial kitchen but does not operate a restaurant, sells his prod-ucts on the street via his “mobile kitchen.” He asked permission to park the truck near Cleveland businesses to sell his wares.

Mayor Don Stanley pointed out that Cleveland has an ordinance prohibiting food trucks, except during special events.

“We don’t have anything in the ordinance that would allow this,” he told Rober-son.

Council member Bradley Greene said he did not see any reason to allow Rober-son’s food truck to operate in Cleveland.

“I personally think it would do a disservice to the businesses that are here,” Greene said.

Then he made a motion to deny Roberson’s request, and the council unanimous-ly agreed.


Muskrat love? Not as far as the City of Cleveland is concerned.

The aquatic rodents have infested the city’s wastewa-ter treatment plant, located just north of town. The critters have been burrow-ing into the dirt walls of the treatment pond, which could compromise the integrity of the structure.

At the Nov. 4 city council meeting, officials discussed how to address the problem. They’ve already spoken to several contractors, who suggested three different strategies for repairing the damage, reinforcing the structure, and deterring

further incursions from the muskrats.

After city clerk Connie Tracas noted that any of the three options would be equally effective, the coun-cil voted to award the proj-ect to whichever contractor puts in the lowest bid.

Tracas said she doesn’t yet know how much the work will cost. “But we have to do it,” she said. “We don’t have a choice.”

Muskrats are often mistaken for beavers, but they’re much smaller. And despite their name, they aren’t a species of rat; their closest relatives are voles and lemmings.

Their diet consists mostly of aquatic vegetation, which

is why they’re attracted to Cleveland’s wastewater pond. The city uses a “bio-logical” treatment method that doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals, so the pond func-tions like a natural body of water.

Unfortunately, muskrats dig into the sides of ponds and streams, excavating elaborate dens with un-derwater tunnels and dry chambers in which they raise their young.

So before Cleveland can fix the crumbling banks of the pond, the contractor will first have to trap and remove the muskrats.

Banished from paradise? We can sympathize – it hap-pened to us humans, too.

well. “I am humbled that they

Now that the Georgia Department of Transporta-tion has almost finished repaving U.S. 129, life can get back to normal in down-town Cleveland. Right?

Not so fast. The City of Cleveland will soon begin an ambitious project to re-place all the old water lines in the downtown area.

And there’s no way to do this without cutting off the water supply to the line that’s being replaced.

Cleveland city clerk Connie Tracas acknowl-edged that the disruptions will be inconvenient.

“But this is a much-needed upgrade, and the short-term sacrifice will be worth it,” she said. “It’s a larger line, so in the long run, you’ll benefit from better flow, better (water) pressure, and fewer line breaks.”

The downtown project

is phase 1 of a larger plan to replace all the old water lines in Cleveland, but the city doesn’t have a timeta-ble for working on the areas beyond downtown.

Most of the water cus-tomers around the down-town square are businesses, not residences. Tracas said the water outages may be especially difficult for restaurants, which cannot comply with health codes when they have no running water.

“We will try to minimize the outages as much as we can,” she said. “No cus-tomer will be without water for more than a few hours at a time.”

She said each day, con-tractors will go door-to-door in the area where they’ll be working, informing custom-ers that they might not have access to water for part of the day.

City officials realize that people are not going to be happy about the situation.

That’s why they’ve divided the work between two dif-ferent contractors.

“With two of them work-ing at the same time, we can finish faster,” Tracas said.

The city will spend about

$270,000 on phase 1 of the project. Maysville-based Griffin Brothers will install lines on the west side of U.S. 129, while Cornelia-based Higgins Construction will do the east side.

A huge stack of blue wa-ter pipes currently sits just off the downtown square, waiting for the work to begin. But the exact starting date isn’t yet known.

“We’re working on

getting the DOT permits,” Tracas said. “Hopefully it won’t take more than a couple of weeks.”

These blue water pipes will soon replace Cleveland’s aging water lines, which are prone to breakage. But construction work will cause temporary water outages for some downtown customers. (Photo/Debbie Gilbert)

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s time to start thinking about turkey and stuffing. Actually, there are people in our county who will have a little trouble making ends meet, and you can help by doing a little stuffing of your own – in a box.

The Thanksgiving Food Box project is a countywide effort supported by the Divi-sion of Family and Chil-dren Services (DFCS) that seeks to put a Thanksgiv-ing meal on the tables of families who wouldn’t otherwise have one.

The meal consists of a Walmart voucher for a 12 to 15 pound turkey and the ingredients for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

The goal for 2013 is to fill 900 boxes. With the recent cutback in food as-sistance, the need will be critical this year.

Pick up a box from your church or local organiza-tion, or go by the DFCS office at 1241 Ga. 75 (Helen Highway), unit 200 to pick one up. The boxes need to be ready by Nov. 20 to be returned to the organiza-tion from which you picked them up. Check with your organization for specific de-tails. Boxes can be delivered to the DFCS office Wednes-day, Nov. 20 through Friday, Nov. 22 before 5 p.m.

Volunteers will pick up

the boxes from the organiza-tions between Nov. 21-22 and stage them for distribu-tion at the Woodman of the World building.

Filled boxes will be given to needy families on Saturday, Nov. 23 and Monday, Nov. 25. Re-cipients of the boxes should bring proof of residence and their Georgia EBT card to the Woodmen of the World building, Woodman Hall Road, Cleveland, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Nov. 23 or Nov. 25 to pick up a box.

Each box is to contain a check payable to

Walmart for $15 for the

turkey, plus three cans of corn, three cans

of carrots, two cans of

cranberry sauce, three cans of green beans, two cans of yams, two boxes of stuffing mix, two boxes of cornbread mix, five pounds of white potatoes and a box of cake mix with a can of icing.

Refrigerated or home-processed foods are not permitted.

If you can help put a turkey dinner in a box, contact your civic organiza-tion or church and tell them you’d like to participate in the project. Or you can go by the DFCS office at 1241 Helen Highway during regular business hours to pick up an empty box prior to Wednesday, Nov. 20. The box must be returned before 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22.

Turkey box group hope to help 900 families with Thanksgiving meal

The sexual abuse of children is something that no one wants to think about. But read just a little further before you turn to the sports section. It does happen here, right in White County.

And while there are life-long issues for the young victims, there are immedi-ate costs to White County’s taxpayers. And there is something that can be done.

“The Department of Justice estimates that the immediate costs of a single incident of child sexual abuse costs, on average, about $14,400,” said Steve Collins, regional coordina-tor for the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy. “Based on that figure and the popu-lation, it is estimated that the immediate and tangible costs to White County are around $198,000 a year. This would be costs for immediate services such as police investigation, forensic interviews, court costs, SANExams and loss of work by parents who have to attend to the child’s needs.”

Collins works through Adults Protecting Children, Inc., a nonprofit organi-zation committed to the training of adults in how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The organiza-

tion works toward creating a “tipping point” of adults trained in utilizing the Dark to Light curriculum.

A tipping point is defined as that critical point, or threshold, when events begin to tip in a particular direction. The organization seeks to train 5 percent of the population.

“We begin seeing a culture change and a shift in behavior beginning to happen,” Andy Chambers, pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Cleveland. “We want to train 1,047 people in White County over the next five years. That is the tipping point. Our hope is that we would see a reduc-tion in sexual abuse in White County.”

Chambers is a facilita-tor for the Darkness to Light training. Working with White County’s Fam-ily Connection, Chambers conducted a meeting at the church last month for people interested in learning about what can be done in the community.

A short movie narrated by victims of child abuse showed that it happens across socio-economic lev-els. One victim was a for-mer Miss America, whose father, a millionaire, began raping her when she was 5. Another was a boy molested by a well-respected youth worker.

Their stories were

poignant, and to the point. Victims are “dying to tell someone, but terrified that someone will find out,” said one man. Another explained that even as adults, victims live a life of isolation, even while appearing outgo-ing and happy, because they fear that no one will love them if their secret is known.

“This is a taboo subject. We don’t want to talk about it. We want to ignore it, but we need to empower children and victims to talk about it,” Collins said.

In both Rabun and Lumpkin counties, the tipping point of 5 percent of the population has been trained.

“We are already seeing a change in the county,” said Brigett Barker, Lumpkin County Family Connection executive director. “There’s certainly a greater aware-ness. Policies are being written and are more of a priority.”

In both White and Lump-kin counties, victims must be sent out of the county for examinations, to be interviewed and for coun-seling. Barker is working on funding for a local center where that could take place, perhaps even one shared between the two counties.

The Darkness to Light training takes just two and a half hours. It teaches seven steps that can be taken to

make a change. The training curriculum normally costs $15, but Chambers has arranged scholarships for a training session he will conduct Nov. 16 at Cleve-land First Presbyterian. For more information, see www.

d2l.org or www.adultspro-tectingchildren.org. Con-tact Judi Lawson at White County Family Connection, 706-865-3215 to sign up for the training.

“We’d like to see a sign that says, ‘welcome to

North Georgia, the safest place in all of Georgia to raise kids,” Collins said. “We are unapologetic about our goal being to create a culture.”

Local initiative aims to prevent child abuse

by Lori FortnerWCHS Band Boosters

It’s been a busy October for the White County Warrior Band. It was exciting to see the full “Pangaea” show on our home field, complete with the American flag in all its glory.

There have been those who’ve shown concern about our use of the American flag in the band show. To set those minds at ease, please know that the flag we use was made for events such as this, to be used as a prop, and not a flag that is flown in any official capacity.

Please know that this was considered prior to adding the flag to our show. We have the utmost respect for our flag and its symbol of freedom and patriotism, which is why we chose to include it in the show.

This half-time show visual was even recorded from an aerial view by WTVN: it put a new perspective on the show that most do not get to see.

Recently, the Warrior Band traveled to Hart County to com-pete in the Lake Hartwell Clas-sic Marching Band Competition,

receiving a Superior rating; then traveled to Canton, Georgia to compete in the Creekview Classic

Competition, receiving Superior and Excellent ratings.

These competitions are great opportunities for the students to showcase their talents, as well as learn new ideas from other bands. It can challenge the students to put forth that extra

effort for a spectacular show. Thanks to all

who participated in the Warrior Band raffle and

congratulations to Ricky Dean of Helen for winning the cash prize of $1,500.

Our annual Indian River Groves fruit Sale is going on now. Find a band student to place your order soon.

The Warrior Band would like to say a hearty “THANKS” for all the incredible support we have received from the commu-nity this year.

Pastor’s corner... reflections on faith and life

Church Calendar


As pastor, I have come to the place where I know that dying is a part of living.

I don’t mean to start this article off as a downer, but it is on my heart for various reasons. For one, so many people that I love are right now facing the reality of death. My mama and granny used to tell me you could always see a turn in folks as the sap was falling and the sap was rising, and I believe they were right.

Then, I have my mother, my sister-in-law’s dad and many oth-ers who are now with Jesus on my mind a lot lately. It stirs all kinds of emotions. Even my daughter who is watching one of our dear members walk through the valley of death right now, asked me a question that I have “ciphered” about. She said “how can some-

one be fine one minute and then gone the next?”

I sure wish I had an answer that would truly satisfy her heart’s cry. Truth is, there is not a one of us who has not asked the same thing. As a matter of fact, with the Thanksgiving and Christmas season coming, I have a feeling more will be asking this question.

To look for answers to the questions, I turn to the Bible. This morning God has led me to the passage in John 11 where Jesus comes face to face with death. Je-sus gets word that his dear friend

Lazarus is sick, and by the time He gets there Lazarus has already

died. But if you know this chapter, you know he does not stay there. Jesus comes and calls Lazarus out of the grave and he comes back to life.

Let’s look closer at this chapter and at some truths that can help us in our questions about death. First, we must turn to Jesus. That is what Mary and Mar-tha did. They came and shared their

burden with Him, even saying, “if you had been here, he wouldn’t have died.” We must be honest with him about our feelings, our hurts, our questions, and even our

anger. He knows and He can take it, as a matter of fact He wants to.

Secondly, it is normal to grieve. Even when we know that loved one is saved and is with Jesus or going to be with Jesus in eternity, it is still ok to cry. I see this in Jesus when it says “Jesus wept.” Some have said He wept because He was going to have to bring Lazarus back from paradise. I believe He wept because in His humanity, He loved Lazarus and it grieved His heart He had died. We all need to walk thru the grieving process.

Most importantly, Jesus gives hope in death. He says to them, and to us, “I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” He was not just speak-ing of this one time but for all who would believe in Him. Soon he would go the cross, give His

life as a sacrifice and then break the stronghold of death, by rising again on the third day giving all of us who believe in Him hope that this life is not the end.

I pray these thoughts have been a help to you. It has helped me just to express in written form some of the emotions that I have been feeling over the last several weeks and to be reminded that I may not understand it all but my faith and my hope is found in the one who conquered death, hell and the grave, Jesus Christ. He is the answer to all of my ques-tions even when dying is a part of living.

The Rev. Michael Wilkes is the pastor of Center Baptist Church in Robertstown.

Rev. Joan Stevens bid a tearful farewell to the members at Helen Presbyterian Church (HPC) on Oct. 27, having served there for almost three years as their first female pastor.

With assistance from former HPC pastor Ken Richmond and former property chair Elder Bill Bell, Rev. Stevens also presided over the dedication of HPC’s much-anticipated new sanctuary doors in memory of long-time members, elders Jim Larsen (gifted cabinet maker) and his wife Harriet (gifted artist).

The Larsens, who died in 2010, were very involved in local and foreign missions. Jim Larsen worked for many years with Habitat for Humanity and also served on nine mission trips building homes in Mexico. He used his woodworking skills to build HPC’s front handicap ramp, marquis, pew racks and many other additions.

Harriett Larsen was treasurer there for many years. Both served as elders. A beautiful framed por-trait of the Larsens, drawn by HPC member, Fred Von Oelschlaeger (gifted artist and woodcarver,) was presented on behalf of HPC to the Larsen’s children. HPC hosted a luncheon afterwards to celebrate the new doors and to also say “farewell” to Rev Stevens.

Rev. Stevens resigned her

position at HPC in order to spend more time with her husband at their home in Oxford, Ga., closer to her husband’s chaplaincy min-istry with Affinis Hospice. Rev. Stevens will remain a member at-large within the N.E. Ga. Pres-bytery as she awaits God’s further direction in ministry.

On her last day, Rev. Stevens expressed her thankfulness to HPC for the many things accomplished by HPC members and friends during her time there, including the long-awaited new handicap ramp enabling easy access to the downstairs fellowship hall and classrooms, along with increased handicap parking spaces.

Thanks to property chair Char-lie Potter, and donations from the Larsen family and others, a beauti-ful new canopy has been now been added over the new sanctuary doors and side ramp entrance as well to protect from the elements.

Rev. Stevens stated: “I will for-ever cherish my days here in the Alpine Village of Helen, Georgia. I look forward to visiting here in the future and perhaps retiring here someday.”

More information regarding Helen Presbyterian Church can be found on their new web site www.helenpresbyterian.com or by call-ing 706-878-2242.

by Donald Fraser CNI News Service

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has informed North Georgia Technical College that its computer system was hacked several months ago.

In an Oct. 25 letter, NGTC president Gail Thax-ton informed “everyone whose data could have been at risk” of the occurrence.

“Although incursion oc-curred several months ago, there is no evidence that an unauthorized person has accessed anyone’s personal information from the NGTC database, and we have had no reports from individuals on security issues,” Thaxton stated in the letter.

The hacker apparently gained access to NGTC server resources via an “unpublished bug in an off-the-shelf program,” according to Thaxton’s letter. NGTC, upon being informed of the breach, im-mediately disabled access to the server. Passwords and PINs [Personal Information Numbers] were not com-promised, Thaxton’s letter emphasized.

“The server in question is completely disabled and the software framework that was breached will no longer be used at NGTC,” Thax-

ton’s letter stated.Thaxton noted several

additional security measures could be taken by individu-als if they sought greater protection, including moni-toring bank and credit card reports for irregularities.

NGTC information tech-nology personnel initially received a bulletin in May of a potential security issue and a patch to fix it, said NGTC Public Relations and Information Director Sandra Maughon on Oct. 31. “About a month ago we were contacted by the FBI,” Maughon said, “and told someone may have accessed the system.” The database that could have been ac-cessed primarily contained student record information, such as courses registered to attend, grades, etc. and not financial information. In some instances there were Social Security numbers and birth dates, Maughon said, consequently the decision to notify everyone in the student record database.

“It’s like someone had the key to your house,” Maughon said. In such an instance someone could have been in and looked around and you wouldn’t know, she said.

A $10,000 Operation Round-Up grant from the Habersham EMC Founda-tion will help the Commu-nity Helping Hands Clinic continue to provide medical services to uninsured White County residents well into 2014.

Board members of the free clinic on Cleveland’s Courthouse Square accepted the grant check Oct. 31 from Susan Baker, Haber-sham Electric Membership Corporation’sdirector of marketing.

“We are glad to support such a meaningful organiza-tion in our community with funds generated through the Operation Round-Up program,” Baker said

“These funds come di-rectly from HEMC’s giving and compassionate mem-bers.”

Those interested in making a contribution, volunteering or enrolling as a patient may call 706-865-1223.

CorrectionThe White County Chamber of Commerce Business

After Hours will be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21, at Reflections Mall at 671 Helen Highway in Cleveland.

Invitations will be mailed to all members. If you would like to attend as a prospective member, call the chamber at 706-865-5356.

The date was incorrectly published in last week’s Chamber Advocate.

Veteran’s Day Special!FOR OUR VETERANS


by Orly PadawerSpecial to the News

In Sondheim’s musical Into the Woods, there is life after “happy ever after.”

In fact, real life begins after the characters from our favorite fairy tales fulfill their wishes and get to live seemingly happy endings.

Realizations, disappoint-ments and death reveal the complicated humanity of the characters, while prompting self-reflection.

Into the Woods is a challenge even to profes-sional singers and actors: the music is complex, the characters are intricate, and the script is filled with deep

insights and meanings that are hidden beneath verbose rhyming schemes.

Our high school drama students took the chal-lenge upon themselves and succeeded greatly.

The production is amaz-ing in all aspects. The set, all made by the students and their director, Pete Talton,

is beautifully crafted. The lavish costumes accentu-ate the characters’ personas while appealing to the eye simultaneously.

Leanne Kinney, the mu-sical director, accompanies with piano in collaboration with some of the school’s band students. The orches-tra as a whole adds a new

dimension to the musical, while also showcasing some more of White County High School’s incredible talent.

Most importantly, the actors on the stage perform superbly. The performance brings about all kinds of emotions. You will laugh, you will cry, and you’ll wish you had more than one pair of eyes so you could take in everything that is

happening on stage.Don’t miss out!!!Shows are at White

County High School audito-rium. The Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows, Nov. 7-9, begin at 7 p.m.

The Sunday, Nov. 10, show begins at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for senior citizens and students.

As part of the 2013 Veterans Day observances, The Hilliard A. Wilbanks Foundation, in partnership with the University of Geor-gia Athletic Department, is pleased to announce that all Medal of Honor recipients from the state of Georgia will be honored at the UGA Homecoming game against Appalachian State on Saturday Nov. 9, at Sanford Stadium in Athens.

Pictures of the Medal of Honor recipients will be featured on the scoreboard during the game and Col. Joe M. Jackson of Newnan will be present to represent all living recipients.

The Medal of Honor, our nation’s highest military award for valor in combat, was first authorized by Congress in 1861 during the Civil War.

Since its creation, there have been fewer than 3,500 Medals of Honor awarded to the nation’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and coast guardsmen. In 1990, Congress designated March 25 of each year as “National Medal of Honor Day”.

This year an official website was created by the Hilliard A. Wilbanks Foundation to recognize all 27 Georgia Medal of Honor recipients who were either

born or entered service in the state of Georgia. Of those, 13 are members of the Army, 10 are Marines, and there are two each from the Air Force and Navy. Please visit www.gacmoh.com.

More often than not, the above and beyond action that leads one to receive the Medal of Honor also results in the death of the individu-al involved.

Of Georgia’s 27, 13 died as a result of the action which the Medal of Honor was awarded. Ten died later, some during the wars and others after they were discharged from service.

Four recipients are alive today: Col. Joe M. Jackson, Gen. James E. Livingston, Col. Ronald E. Ray and Col. James M. Sprayberry. The

oldest is 90 and saw action in WWII, Korea, and Viet-nam. All living recipients received their medals from actions in Vietnam.

The first Medal of Honor received by a Georgian was Gunners Mate George W. Leland, cited for his cour-age on Nov. 16, 1863, in Charleston, S.C. The last Georgian to be recognized was Staff Sergeant Hammett Lee Bowen Jr., who died in Vietnam in 1969.

More Georgians received the Medal of Honor in the Vietnam War than any other, which is somewhat surpris-ing given the number of troops that were mobilized for World War II.

There were two recipi-ents that were born outside of Georgia. Harold Bascom Durham Jr. was born in Rocky Mount, N.C., but by the time of the Vietnam War his family had moved to Tift County. He entered the service in Atlanta. Ernest Albert Garlington was born in Newberry, S.C., but was educated at the University of Georgia and entered the service in Athens.

Georgia Medal of Honor recipients are from Cor-nelia, Gainesville, Athens, Conyers, Atlanta, Stock-bridge, Newnan, LaGrange, Columbus, Buena Vista,

Andersonville, Cordele, Ashburn, Tifton, Fitzger-ald, Alma, Lumber City, Cochran, Macon, Savannah, Sylvania, Augusta, Dublin and Felton. All these com-munities should be very proud of their hometown heroes.

The White County High School girls cross country team had another unbeliev-able race on Oct. 31, and was able to take home the Region 7-AAA Championship trophy for the second straight year.

The reigning Region 7-AAA and AAA State Individual Champion, sophomore Jenna Gearing, led the Warriors.

Gearing won the race with a time of 18:22, not only good enough to be crowned the Region 7-AAA Individual Champion, it was good enough to break her own course record at the course at Unicoi State Park.

The Lady Warriors defeated Buford and North Hall, scoring 37 points, and beating Buford by 12 points and North Hall by 15 points.

“I’m proud of the girls for win-ning. Jenna keeps learning the sport and how to run the race. The team has prac-ticed hard and deserves this,” said WCHS head cross country coach Sam Borg. “I thought the race actually might be a little bit closer, but they proved me wrong and ran a great race.”

Jenna Gearing, moments after her win-ning performance, added: “I think we did pretty good. Coach Borg had a good plan going into the race, and we did what we needed to do. Back-to-back. It feels amaz-ing to be able to win Region again. This is giving me lots of confidence for state, and I’m glad that all of our hard work is paying off.”

The Region 7-AAA Champion WCHS girls team received help all across the board from several runners.

Warrior runners junior Kristen Mitch-ell and senior Kaitlyn Gearing finished fourth and seventh, respectively, with

times of 20:21 and 20:48. Other strong performances came from

junior Megan Norris and sophomore Sinead O’Bryant.

The WCHS boy’s team last year had a bad taste in their mouth after they missed out on the AAA State Championships by just seven points.

This year, it was a different story. It was White County that qualified for

the State Championship finishing forth, edging out powerful West Hall by 14

points. “The big goal was to make it to state,

and we did,” coach Borg said. “It may not be a big deal for most schools, but it’s huge for the runners. Caleb (Stephenson) had a massive day. It’s great to get the boys back to Carrollton.”

The WCHS boys team was led by ju-nior Austin Thompson, who finished ninth with a time of 16:55.

The White County Warriors last Friday, Nov. 1, all but clinched second place in Region 7-AAA with a 14-0 victory over the West Hall Spartans. A Buford win over North Hall, or a Warrior win over winless Banks County this Friday will seal the deal.

The West Hall win elevated the Warriors to a Region record of 5-1 (7-2 overall) and a victory this Friday night against Banks will insure a home-field advantage. In that scenario, the Warriors would play the third-place team from Region 5-AAA in Northwest Georgia.

As for the West Hall game, “it was a big win for our program,”

said head coach Bill Ballard. “But we will be focused on Banks County on Friday. This is not a game to overlook. We need mo-mentum going into the playoffs.”

Against West Hall, the War-riors, put together 121 yard in passing, which included two touchdown passes. In all, the War-riors amassed 299 total yards of offense.

The Warriors’ first score came with about two minutes left in the first quarter. Backed up to their own 26-yard line and facing a third down, the Warriors ran a reverse to flanker Adam Johnson. Adams ran toward the sideline, then stopped in his tracks and

threw a long pass to Will Flowers, who as wide open downfield.

Flowers, playing with an ankle injury, crossed the goal line as he was being tackled from behind.

Wesley Saunders added the extra point kick and the Warriors led 7-0. They never trailed the rest of the game.

In the second half, the War-riors scored a second and final touchdown after quarterback A.J. Vandiver tossed a perfect strike down the middle of the field into the open arms of sophomore Clancy Loudermilk, who caught the ball in full stride on the 25 and raced into the end zone untouched.

“It feels good to make it to State,” Thompson said, after his huge performance. “Last year I had to go by myself, and I’m glad that this year we get to go as a team.”

The Warriors received tons of help from sopho-mores Matthew Bouchard and Whit Mauney, finishing 18th and 26th, and 2nd and 3rd for WCHS, respectively, with times of 17:48 and 18:33.

Not far behind Bouchard and Mauney was WCHS senior Caleb Stephenson.

Stephenson finished 29th with a time of 18:39, and helped the Warrior Cross Country team qualify for the AAA state Champion-ships and gave it his all in what he thought may be his, and his fellow senior Bryce Burkett’s last race.

“This just means the world to me,” Stephen-son said. “Last year was devastating, missing it by seven points. It just feels great. I’m going to try to run my personal best at State, and we are going to work as hard as we can to run well.” Said Stephenson after the rewards ceremony.

The WCHS Cross Country Teams will look to keep up the good work this Satur-day, Nov. 9, in Carrollton.

The boys will start at 7:45 a.m. and the girls at 8:20 a.m. Come support your War-riors!

The WCHS cross-country teams have earned a successful season thus far.

The girl’s team has won or finished among the top of the board in every race this season, and last week won the 7-AAA Region Cham-pionship. They are headed to state.

The boy’s team is seeing the fruits of their labor as they finished fourth at the Region 7-AAA Champion-ship and qualified for State.

With one last race for the 2013 season, Warrior runners have the chance to go all out.

Last season, the Warrior girls team finished third in the State, and have a great chance of reaching the

podium once again. The Warriors have shown

tremendous improvement qualifying for the State Championships, but now they have the opportunity to show the State that they can compete on the big stage.

A huge part of the War-rior’s success has been the outstanding performance of super-sophomore Jenna Gearing.

Gearing is the reigning State AAA Champion, and will compete hard to repeat as champion. Which would give Gearing her 3rd state champion ring as a WCHS athlete, as she won the 3,200 meter race last spring during track season.

Here’s what Gearing had to say about heading into the State race, “I think I’ve gotten all the hard work

done with. Now, I just have to focus on being healthy.”

The Warrior girls team has the opportunity to have more than just Gear-ing reach the podium for WCHS as junior Kristen Mitchell and senior Kaitlyn Gearing have had very suc-cessful seasons as well.

WCHS junior Austin Thompson also will look to reach the podium for the first time as his practice over the summer has paid off and he is running better than ever.

“We will run one more mileage the day before State. No more workouts left, just mental preparation and staying healthy,” said WCHS cross country head coach Sam Borg.

The WCHS cross coun-try teams will look to go all out at the AAA State Cham-pionships in Carrollton on Saturday, Nov. 9.

The boys race at 7:45 a.m. The Girls race at 8:20 a.m. Come out and support your Warriors.

from Page 1Bwest hallSaunders kicked the extra point good, and the Warriors led 14-0.

In the third quarter, the Warriors made several key first down runs by Clancy Loudermilk, Dalton Whit-field and Max Taylor. The Warrior defense also made several key stops on a number of West Hall fourth downs.

After the game, a smil-ing head coach Bill Ballard had nothing but praise for his team and the assistant coaches.

“The played so hard,” he said, “and they do it for each other. They’re trying to win for each other, and that’s a neat situation. Our seniors are not many, but they are leaders and I’m proud of them.”

He also noted: “Coach (Jake) Cantrell called a great game. We executed all night, and the defense played well all night too. Both teams played hard tonight, and we were fortunate to come out on top.”

Players who excelled on defense, according to coach Ballard, were Sam Turner, Maurice Sutton and the rest of the secondary. Cody Tan-ner had a great game on the defensive line.

“On offense, Adam John-son had a nice pass to Will Flowers, and A.J. Vandiver had a fine game at quarter-back,” Ballard said. “But a lot of guys played hard and made a lot of plays. This was a team effort. Now we have to focus on Banks County.”

Special to the News

Anyone that says Competition Cheer-leading is not a sport has not walked in the shoes of the WCHS Varsity Competition Squad this season.

Starting out the year with 18 girls on the mat, they are finishing up Region and State Competitions this month with 10 healthy girls competing because of injuries due

to the toll that it takes on their bodies to practice and perform a 2 minute, 30 second routine each week.

The passion and dedication these girls have for this sport is amazing. Not only do they practice for 2½ hours daily, they are also expected to keep their grades to a cer-tain level and many hold jobs that consume any time that is left over.

Although it has seemed like this team

has had a “curse” on them this season, they have proven to themselves and others that with hard work and dedication, they can make it.

The past two competitions with 9 to 10 girls competing, they have received first-place trophies that have brought them to tears and left them speechless because of the adversities that they have been up

against. They practice and act like champions

both on and off the mat. As they travel the next two weeks to

compete for Region and State Champion-ships, please keep each and every one of them, their coaches and their parents in your prayers. We are so proud of our girls for never giving up.

A Better Walk-Behind Trencher

by Garrett Rowland

The voice of the Warriors... Garrett Rowland

White Coun-ty High School head football

coach Bill Ballard is in his third year at WCHS, and the progress he’s making is substantial.

During Ballard’s first year as a War-rior, the WCHS foot-ball team went 3-7. He was introducing his new playbook to first year starting quarterback junior Will Brock, and try-ing to get everyone to buy into the new offensive and defen-sive look.

In 2011, White County’s only three wins came against West Hall, Chestatee and Walnut Grove.

But note: White County lost three games that year by only one possession, and two games by a combined four points.

In the beginning of the 2012 season, players on the WCHS roster knew the option-style playbook like the back of their hand.

Players speed had im-proved tremendously from the previous 3-7 season,

with the strong emphasis Ballard puts behind running track in the off season.

During his second season, Ballard’s team was among the best in the region with a 7-3 regular season record, and a first round

playoff appearance vs. Blessed Trinity.

In the 2012 season, White County had to play through many of injuries, including running back and linebacker Dalton Whitfield for the last eight games of the season.

The Warriors looked for huge help from their senior-studded of-fensive line to complete the option look.

White County’s three losses came to three state-ranked teams:Buford, North Hall and Blessed Trinity.

The Blessed Trinity regular season loss was only by 2 points. North Hall and Buford both go to the Final Four, and throughout Bu-ford’s entire season, White County has the only 100-plus yard rusher in senior Will Brock.

Now we are in Ballard’s

third season. He has had the time to put the offense in stone.

The players have bought into the program, and White County is currently 7-2 and a most likely win tomorrow night makes the Warriors 8-2, improving once more on White County’s previous record.

The eight win regular season would be the first since 2010, and only the second since 1983.

If things play out like they are supposed to, White County hosts the second home playoff game in school history.

This home playoff game could very well be a key factor in pushing the War-riors into the second round and give the Warriors their goal of making to and pos-

sibly past the third round of the state playoffs, and after beating the fourth-ranked Trojans a few Friday’s ago, the Warriors have proved that they can play with anybody.

The WCHS football team is becoming a year-after-year program under Coach Ballard, and they are looking to do something special this season.

The Warriors will look to continue their success-ful season this Friday night when they travel to Banks County for the final regular season game. Kick-off is set for 7:30. Come support you Warriors!

Garrett Rowland is a junior at White County High School.

The news of Martin Truex Jr.’s loss of sponsorship from NAPA Auto Parts after his Michael Waltrip Racing team’s in-volvement in the race-altering scandal at Richmond in September couldn’t have come at a worse time for the veteran Sprint Cup driver. By early fall, most team and sponsor deals for the upcoming season are already in place, and the looming shutdown of his No. 56 team could have put him without a quality ride for the 2014 season. But Kurt Busch’s surprise departure from the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevro-let team opened the door for Truex to take over as driver for that team, which, despite its single-car status, has proven that it’s a legitimate Chase contender. Truex and Furniture Row made the of-ficial announcement of their pairing last week at Texas Motor Speedway. “As unlucky as I got at Richmond a month or two ago, I got just as lucky when this deal turned up,” Truex said. “What can you say? I guess all things happen for a reason; hopefully all this happened for a reason, and we will be able to do some great things together.” He said there were some anxious mo-ments after NAPA announced that it was dropping his current team after he was removed from the Chase by NASCAR as

part of punishment for MWR’s actions at Richmond, none of which directly involved Truex or his No. 56 crew. “The biggest thing for me as a driver is, a few weeks ago when dominoes started to fall, I wasn’t sure where I would end up,” he said. “To have an opportunity like this — this late in the season — I just feel really blessed. I feel really lucky and defi-nitely excited and looking forward to the future with this team.”

In joining Furniture Row, which has an alliance with Richard Childress Racing, Truex will get to work with his close friend and fellow racer Ryan Newman, who is moving to RCR to drive that team’s No. 31 Chevrolet next year. “We will kind of be teammates next year, which is really cool,” Truex said. “I’m look-ing forward to working with him and hope-fully helping each other.” And he said he doesn’t believe the single-car operation is as much of a disadvantage as some might assume, because single-car teams can make changes more quickly than multi-car operations. “When they want to build a part and put it on the race car, they do it,” he said. “There is no five, six weeks of it going through a system to get it on the race car. I think that from a technology standpoint, I think it’s a great thing. There are a lot less channels for things to go through.” Furniture Row’s general manager Joe Garone also announced that his team has hired the current crew of Truex’s No. 56 to service his No. 78 next year. “We’ve been able to secure Martin’s pit crew; actually bring them on board in full-time positions for 2014,” he said. “I think that is going to really help that part of our program.”

Ty Dillon delivers command performance in Camping World Truck Series victory at Texas A week after his soon-to-be former teammate Kevin Harvick called him a “rich kid” who got his ride only because his grandfather was a team owner, Ty Dillon put on a command performance in the Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. He led 130 of 147 laps to get his second Truck win of the season and third of his career. The victory marked the 100th in a major NASCAR series by a No. 3 Chevrolet fielded by Dillon’s grandfather, Richard Childress. The late Dale Earnhardt got the majority of those victories. Dillon’s crew chief, Marcus Richmond, who was fined by NASCAR after a pit crew member tossed a mallet at Harvick after he and Dillon crashed at Martinsville Speedway, said Friday night’s win was especially rewarding, in light of the events of the previous week. “We’ve had some bad luck the last few weeks and after everything that hap-pened last weekend, this was a great way to show how strong this Bass Pro Shops team really is,” Richmond said.

AMS publicity director dies after cancer battle The NASCAR community lost one of its most tireless and dedicated workers last week. Marcy Scott, who managed publicity at Atlanta Motor Speedway, and prior to that worked as a publicist for drivers including Matt Kenseth, Jeff Green and Ward Burton, died of cancer at age 42. “We will all miss her charisma, her penchant for detail and her way of mak-ing any task fun and enjoyable,” AMS president Ed Clark said in a statement. “To people throughout the NASCAR and the Atlanta media communities, she was a great friend and a consummate profes-sional.” Martin Truex Jr. said Scott’s struggle with cancer and her death helped him realize that career uncertainty like he experienced in recent weeks, and NASCAR racing in general, are not always the most important things in life. “You think about people like Marcy Scott — losing her,” he said. “You know, life is not fair. As big of a deal as this is to a lot of us, sometimes it’s not the end of the world.”

To hear Jimmie Johnson and his crew chief Chad Knaus tell it, the start of their dominating run in the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday can be traced to a test session at the track two weeks prior to the race weekend. “After two days, we really honed in on the balance of the car and comfort of the car,” Johnson said in his winner’s interview after leading the most laps, winning the race and moving seven points ahead of Matt Kenseth with just two races left to run. “We felt really strong about things, but at the same time, we’re here testing, as all of our competitors were as well. So it was tough to leave here overly excited, because your com-petition is here getting better and getting data and all of that as well. “So we came back and just kept our blind-ers on and focused on our team, our race car and got the thing pretty dang awesome.” Knaus pointed out that Kenseth, who entered Texas tied with Johnson atop the points standings but finished fourth in the race, didn’t have such a good Texas test. He crashed his No. 20 Toyota after blowing a tire during the session. “I know if I was [Kenseth’s team], and I came here and on my last day of testing I

blew a right-front tire, I’d be nervous com-ing back,” Knaus said. “So that had to have been looming over them.” Knaus said he believes his No. 48 team also came out ahead in a test session last week at Homestead-Miami Speedway, in which teams prepared for the season-end-ing Ford 400. “Quite honestly, based on what I saw at Homestead, they’re probably pretty nervous about that same thing happening there,” he said. Knaus said there were several things learned at the Texas test, which was rained out and then rescheduled, that helped his team score its first victory on a 1.5-mile track this year. “I think it was very beneficial for us,” he said. “We were able to really kind of break down what the race car was doing. Jimmie was able to go out there and kind of explore a little bit and find the nuances of the race track in kind of a more calm environment.

“I think it paid huge dividends for us from a lot of different levels, and it was good.” Kenseth shouldered much of the blame for his team’s inability to come up with a win-ning setup at Texas, which historically has been one of his best tracks. “We’re just a little off,” he said. “I just couldn’t help [the crew] enough to give them the information they needed to get in the car what I needed to run a little bit bet-ter. “It’s all on me. We just worked hard that first [Texas] race, came and tested, worked hard through all the practice sessions, threw a lot of stuff at it and just never had it quite good enough.” But Kenseth said Johnson’s points lead can be overcome. “It’s not insurmountable,” he said. “It’s still in your hands. The math works out if you win the last two races. “If we go out there and can outrun every-body for two weeks, then it’s ours.”

NOTEBOOK

NATIONWIDE SERIES CAMPING WORLD TRUCKSSPRINT CUP

Points standings and race results following the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway:

1. JIMMIE JOHNSON(finished first) 2,342 points; leader He dominated the race, leading a whopping 255 of 334 laps to score the maximum 48 points and break a tie with Matt Kenseth, the only driver with a reasonable chance of stopping him from winning a sixth Sprint Cup title. “It’s hard to get points in this championship battle, and we got a couple [Sunday].”

2. MATT KENSETH(finished fourth) 2,335 points; behind –7 He overcame a penalty for speeding on pit road to score a top-5 finish and remain in the running for the championship. “Honestly, the 48 (Johnson) had us from the time they unloaded until the time they put it back on the truck. They were just dominant all weekend.”

3. KEVIN HARVICK(finished eighth) 2,302 points; behind –40 Another steady performance kept him clinging to an outside chance of winning the champion-ship, but it won’t happen unless both Johnson and Kenseth experience major setbacks in one of the next two races.

4. KYLE BUSCH(finished 13th) 2,290 points; behind –52 He battled back from an early wreck to run up front, only to be caught speeding on pit road late. “[Busch] was giving us all he had to give us — the best finish possible, and we took a little bit more than what was there,” said crew chief Dave Rogers of the speeding penalty.

5. DALE EARNHARDT JR.(finished second) 2,280 points; behind –62 He scored his third runner-up finish in the past six races, but he hasn’t been able to over-come a 35th-place finish in the Chase opener. Otherwise, he has an average Chase finish of 5.4. “We feel like we’re doing a lot of good work and getting really close to probably breaking through and get-ting a win.”

6. JEFF GORDON(finished 38th) 2,273 points; behind –69 After entering the race with an outside chance to catch Johnson and Kenseth, a blown tire led to a crash that essentially took him out of the title hunt. “You just can’t have things like this happen if you are going to make a run at a championship.”

7. CLINT BOWYER(finished 10th) 2,273 points; behind –69 He’s had six finishes of 11th or better in the eight Chase races to date, and a worst of just 17th, at New Hampshire, but he started the Chase with no bonus points and has just one top-5 finish, a third at Martinsville.

8. GREG BIFFLE(finished 12th) 2,269 points; behind –73 He hasn’t had a top-5 finish since the second race of the Chase, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where he finished third. He never seemed to really get going at Texas. “We just weren’t where we wanted to be. It was a tough day.”

9. JOEY LOGANO(finished third) 2,251 points; behind –91 His Ford was fast, but not nearly as fast as Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet. “Overall, we can’t be disappointed with a third-place finish, but the 48 car was just ridiculously fast.”

10. KURT BUSCH(finished 17th) 2,246 points; behind –96 After a runner-up run at Kansas, he’s had four straight finishes outside the top 10 and has been mathematically eliminated from title contention, as have the drivers below him in the standings. “We need a turn-around in the final two races, because it has been too good of a year to end on a struggling note.”

11. CARL EDWARDS(finished 37th) 2,226 points; behind –116 He started on the pole, but fell out with a blown engine and now finds himself outside the top 10, which is the cutoff for being on stage at the annual awards banquet in Las Vegas. “We will just go on to Phoenix and, hopefully, get another win there and go to Homestead.”

12. RYAN NEWMAN(finished ninth) 2,224 points; behind –118 Despite a loose-handling car, he scored his 17th top-10 finish of the season and his fifth in the Chase. “We just couldn’t get it to where I needed it to be. But in spite of how much we struggled today, to finish ninth was good.”

13. KASEY KAHNE(finished fifth) 2,209 points; behind –133 He’s still at the bottom of the Chase standings despite his second top-5 in the past four races. “I’m glad we were able to have kind of a flaw-less race, and race all day and make a little bit of ground at the end.”

I am excited to an-nounce, starting Nov. 18, White County FBLA will open a

one-stop shop for all of the public’s Warrior Wear needs.

This will be a great opportunity to bring in qual-ity clothing with brands like Under Armour. Items such as lip balm, hand sanitizer, and hair bows will be sold along with common school supplies.

I, along with many other students, am excited to see the finished store, located in the lobby at WCHS. We hope to build its inven-tory and grow to serve the school more and more each year.

If you have been to a home football game, you have more than likely seen the Warrior Warehouse out-side of the concession stand already.

This is a great chance for our business students and FBLA members to see how the gears of owning a small company work. Brandon Nally, manager of the school store, said: “I am very excited to work with Mr. Taylor and get our store up and running!”

He added: “Prices will range from about $5 to $25. Our Under Armour shirts are now on sale for $20 and hoodies are also $20.”

Our school is always

changing and bringing new ideas to the table; where it be a creative play in the

drama department or a great way of advertis-ing using different clubs and organiza-tions. We all share each other’s talents and use them to the best of our ability.

Some time ago I was watching my fel-low columnist, Josh Oberlander, create a poster for Into the Woods, a theatri-

cal production that will

continue playing over the weekend. He was using the editing software we use at Warrior TV.

It made me think how close our school’s programs are in working with each other and how close the people are as well.

Like I always say, I am truly grateful to be able to say I am a White County Warrior. Read next week on details about the White County Interact Club, spon-sored by the Rotary Club of White County.

Three White County stu-dents recently participated in a regional photography project for students with disabilities, called 1,000 Words. The project was the vision of Jacqueline Daniel, director and founder of ConnectAbility, a nonprofit organization providing com-munity support and respite programs for adults and children with disabilities and their families, based in Dahlonega.

Dillan Mullinax and Jorge Paramo, both stu-dents at White County High School, worked one-on-one with a mentor. Jorge worked with Linda Erbele of the White County News. Mullinax worked with Ran-dall Pinson of Dahlonega.

Joey Grillo participated last spring as a student at Mt. Yonah Elementary School with James Daniel as mentor.

“I really enjoyed the op-portunity to be creative in setting up a camera for Joey to use. It was a challenge that allowed us to have a glimpse into Joey’s perspec-tive,” Daniel said.

Each photographer was encouraged to photograph the things that interest them. According to Jacqueline Daniel, the idea was to offer people without disabilities a window into the lives and perspectives of people with disabilities in an artistic, stylistic way.

ConnectAbility partnered with a team of profes-sional photographers from Dawsonville, Dahlonega, Cleveland, and Sautee to coach the amateur photog-

raphers, all people with disabilities, from those cit-ies. The project culminated in an art auction, offering photographers, photography mentors, and art patrons an opportunity to share their perspectives and love of the art form.

For the families of the photographers, it gave them a chance to see their loved ones not as people with dis-abilities, but photographers. For community partners and art lovers, it was an art sale which offered high qual-ity work and the chance to contribute to a worthwhile, nonprofit organization.

The committee at Con-nectAbility is currently planning another 1,000 Words project, set to begin this winter.

Dr. Don Robbins sits with his new photographer friend, Joey Grillo, who is now a student at White County Middle School, and the photo he purchased at auction. Grillo and his mentor James Daniel set up a camera on a tripod with an automatic shutter so that Joey could select the things he wanted to photograph and then just aim and shoot.

White County News

by Kathy LondonSpecial to the News

Getting kids interested in chemistry seems as difficult as getting them to clean their room. That is, unless you are Kay Miraglia, chemistry and physics teacher at White County High School.

Miraglia recently orchestrated a Chemistry Day for fifth grade students in White County.

“We want to get these kids excited about science,” she said. “When they get to high school, we want to maintain that interest and get students enrolled in higher-level science classes.”

So how do you accomplish this?

Start with explosions, fire, loud noises, eruptions and smoke.

Fifth-grade students from Mt. Yonah Elementary and Mossy Creek Elementary schools rotated through five science laboratories on Oct. 23. After putting on their safety goggles, the fun began.

They first watched while WCHS students demonstrated chemical reactions that resulted in blowing up gummy worms, making elephant toothpaste and exploding pumpkins, just to name a few.

After the fifth graders were hooked, these students got some hands-on experience with chem-istry. In the invisible ink lab, students worked with acid/base indicators.

Another acid/base lab allowed

the students to test common articles in their home, including shampoo, Coca-Cola, and vinegar.

Next door, students made their very own slime by combining two liquids, polyvinyl alcohol and so-dium borate. The fifth-graders also combined liquid starch and liquid glue to create Silly Putty. The “zip tight” lab allowed students to change the state of two solids to create a gas.

Chemistry Day gave WCHS students a chance to share their love for science with next genera-tion of students.

Ian Neer, WCHS senior, ex-plained, “Kids only understand the universe in terms of themselves. Giving them a chance to witness and participate in science experi-ments will hopefully develop a rational understanding of the universe around them.”

WCHS students led all the experiments and worked side-by-side with the fifth-graders to explain and direct their laboratory experiments.

A private donor funded WCHS Chemistry Day this year.

Mrs. Miraglia hopes to receive a grant from the American Chemi-cal Society to fund next year’s event.

Judging from the excitement and smiles, Mrs. Miraglia accom-plished her goal of turning kids on to science.

Candice Rose Merante, fifth-grader at Mt. Yonah Elementary, exclaimed: “This is the best day ever! I just love science!”

Chemistry Day turns fifth-graders on to scienceHigh school students help teachers with demonstrations

Haley White, WCHS junior, can’t help but laugh at the reaction of MYES fifth-grader Ireland Ballington to her Silly Putty creation, made from liquid starch and liquid glue.

Right: Shelby Thompson and Trey Thomas, WCHS seniors, ensure that MCES students Dylan McClellon (left) and Jesus

Paramo (right) thoroughly mix their chemical solutions.

Vanessa Nicholson, MCES fifth-grader, discovers that sci-ence experiments are really fun.

Stephanie Bolton, WCHS Teacher of the Year, shows J.Ben Haynes, MYES fifth grader, that science is not only fun; it’s often very messy.

C.J. Maye, MYES fifth-grader, conducts a disappearing ink experiment by spraying his drawing with an acid/base indicator.

Blake Dodd and Ian Neer, WCHS seniors, explain to students that products of the reaction, or gummy bear explosion, are carbon dioxide and water as Kim Wilkes, MYES fifth-grade teacher, and Kay Miraglia observe the demonstration. (Photos/Kathy London)

Blake Dodd, WCHS senior, demonstrates that sugar burns extremely fast in pure oxygen. The gummy bear explosion really excited the MYES students from Kim Wilkes’ classroom.

Peter Gunnin and Cherith Pruitt, WCHS seniors, wow the fifth-graders with an elephant toothpaste experiment illustrating the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to form oxygen.

The Believers Concert Band will hold its annual Veteran’s Concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, at Gaines-ville United Methodist Church, Thompson Bridge Road in Gainesville.

Each branch of the mili-tary will be recognized with

music, and a variety of other music will be provided, in-cluding Sousa’s El Capitan March, Beach Boys music and selections from Fiddler on the Roof.

Jeff Gore of Cleveland plays baritone in the band.

Wildlife artists Will and Kay Lake will be selling their artwork on the third floor of the Lodge from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 9-10.

The Solstice Sisters will be performing in the Lodge Saturday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. Consisting of Maggie Hunter, Susan Staley and Anna Durden, the group offers old time country ballads, traditional folk and 40’s

styled swing. They are known not only for their lovely three part harmonies, but also for their spontaneous and energetic live shows.

This is a “pass the hat” concert – no admission but donations to cover the time of the musicians are very appreciated.

A $5 park pass is required.

The Historic Holly Theater will celebrate the anniversary of its rebirth 20 years ago when Mountain Music Night featuring the Shoal Creek Band went up on stage Nov. 6, 1993.

This followed an outpouring of community support to save the theater from the wrecking ball.

Volunteers and donations brought the Holly back to life, and oh, what a life it has been.

Movies, concerts, community events, education and especially live theatre have been the building blocks.

A vibrant and award-winning Children's Theater program has

launched careers in the performing arts for many and provided the Holly Theatre Company with a steady sup-ply of talented young actors.

There have been 87 full-length community theatre productions, in-cluding 41 musicals on the Holly stage since that evening in 1993.

The Anniversary Concert, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9, will feature songs from many of those musicals sung by the actors who performed them in the original Holly productions: Chi-cago, The Sound of Music, Anything Goes, Oklahoma! and many more.

Some of the performers have not

been on the Holly stage in some time. This fun night will also have several surprises.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the Holly Endowment Fund, a critical source of funding to enable the Holly to be around and thriving for generations to come.

Tickets for this benefit are $20 and $27 on-line at www.hollytheater.com .

Please join us in this evening of fun to support and celebrate the Holly Theater and all the people who have made it possible.

The Holly is located at 69 West Main Street in Dahlonega.

The play RED is coming to the Sautee Nacoochee Center theater this weekend.

RED, a new play by John Logan, is about the Ameri-can Abstract Expressionist artist Mark Rothko, and takes place in his studio in 1958-59.

How it came to SNC is because director Jeremy Douylliez, a senior at Pied-mont College in the Theater Arts department, attended the Southeastern Theatre Conference in Louisville, Ky.

He took to heart what keynote speaker Ken Ludwig said – the most important thing you can do [before you graduate

college] is to produce your own play. Douylliez read several plays, but “this play found me,” he said.

Douylliez told his in-structor, Kathy Blandin, for-mer director of the Sautee Nacoochee Community As-sociation, that he wanted to produce a play. She put him in touch with DeDe Vogt, the Center’s Arts Program Director.

“The SNC theater is the perfect kind of theater for people to try new things. It’s a friendly space,” Vogt said. “We as a community need to provide that service in the humanities, especially for young adults coming out of college.”

She added: “We are thrilled to have them here. We would like to forge an

ongoing relationship with Piedmont College.”

Jeremy Douylliez (direc-tor), Jacob McKee (who plays Ken), Tyler Dale (who plays Mark Rothko) and Kallie Robinson (techni-cian) were all friends in the Theater Arts department. But the play is an inde-pendent production, under special arrangement with Dramatists Play Services.

The stage set is Rothko’s painting studio. He is work-ing on a series of paint-ings commissioned by the famous architect Phillip Johnson, for the exclusive Four Seasons Restaurant in New York.

But you need not know the artist’s work to under-stand this play. As director Jeremy Douylliez guided

Tyler Dale, who plays Roth-ko, “You don’t have to play a historical Rothko. Find the honesty of the emotions in yourself.”

Rothko’s fictional assis-tant, Ken, is played by Ja-cob McKee. Ken serves as a sounding board for Rothko’s thoughts as he paints. RED was first produced in 2009 in London.

“The play wouldn’t be that poignant without the playwright’s hindsight,” McKee said.

RED will show at the SNC Center Theater at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10. Tickets are $12 for adults and $7 for students. For reservations, call 706-878-3300.

Know your library

Every day I am exposed to a freedom that was given to me by the acts of

others. Our veterans gave of their time, and on sad occa-sion, their lives, so that we may live in our little world and enjoy the freedoms we experience every day.

Working with books, the written opinions and expressions of others, the library makes available a range of veliefs and entertain-ment that perhaps we may not all agree with. Without our freedom of speech, these books could be very different in content.

Not only books could be different but newspapers, such as the one you are reading now could look very different. All forms of our entertainment, from the music you enjoy listening to on your radio to the movies you enjoy, could be very different.

Simple freedoms we take for granted every day have been given to us at the expense of others that serve or have served in our armed forces.

If you know of someone who has served, thank them. If you see an enlisted person in uniform, just say thanks. It’s the least we can do.

In observance of Veter-ans Day, the White County Libraries will be closed Saturday, Nov. 9 through Monday, Nov. 11.

Don’t forget, the Georgia Mountains Regional Com-mission’s Mobile Training Unit will be at the Cleve-land Library on Tuesday, Nov. 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The follow-ing new releases are available at the White County Library in Cleveland: Necessary Lies by Diane Cham-berlain, Never Go Back by Lee Child, The Ma-yan Secrets by Clive Cussler, The Kill List by Frederick

Forsyth, Declan’s Cross by Carla Neggars.

The following new releases are available at the White County Library in Helen: Out of Warranty by Haywood Smith, Kill You Twice by Chelsea Cain, Guide to Georgia Veg-etable Gardening by Walter Reeves, King’s Mountain by Sharyn McCrumb, Si-cology 101 by Si Robertson.

Michael Humphrey is the program director for the White County public libraries.

Looking Back ...

Cookin’ with Lois ...

The Dixie Diva ...

by Shirley McDonald

by Lois Chitwood

Today, I’m shar-ing my recipe for Pumpkin Roll. Don’t be intimidated. You

can do it. I used to look at pumpkin rolls and chocolate Yule logs and wonder exactly how they did it – you know, come out rolled up like that with the filling in the middle.

Finally, a few years ago, I decided to give it a try and it worked. My best ad-vice is to very lightly grease your pan and then line it with wax paper. I then lightly grease and flour the wax paper too.

When the cake is re-moved from the oven, care-fully remove it from the pan onto paper towels sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar. Quickly remove wax paper,

gently tearing in strips. Start at one end going to the other end so as not to tear the pumpkin layer. Then starting at one end, roll up the cake with paper towels and lay onto a cooling rack

to cool completely. Come on and try

it. I’m sure it’ll be the hit of your fam-ily gathering. I can hear the ooohh’s and ahhh’s now.

God bless you all and enjoy!

Make a joy-ful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come

before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates

with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm100: 1-5

Pumpkin Roll

Cake:¾ cup self-rising flour1 tsp. cinnamon (or omit and use pumpkin pie spice)½ tsp. ground cloves (or omit and use pumpkin pie spice)3 eggs1 cup granulated sugar2/3 cup solid pack pump-kin from a 16 oz. can, not

a pie mix. Save remain-ing pumpkin for another use.1 cup finely chopped nuts, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan, then line pan with wax paper. Lightly grease and flour wax paper also. Set aside.

After baking, you will need a thin dish towel. I use paper towels lay-ered to fit the length and width of the oblong cake. Sprinkle paper towel with confectioner’s sugar.

In a medium size bowl, combine the flour and spices and set aside.

In another bowl, mix the eggs, sugar and pumpkin. Blend into the flour mixture. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake about 12 to15 minutes.

Turn out onto the confectioners’ sugar-sprinkled paper towels. Carefully peel off the wax paper. Sprinkle a little confectioner’s sugar on top of roll, then roll up in the towel starting at the small end, and complete-ly cool. While cake cools, prepare filling.

Filling: 1 (8oz.) pkg. cream cheese1 cup sifted confection-

er’s sugar½ of an 8-oz. carton whipped toppingadditional confectioner’s sugar

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and topping well. When cake roll is completely cool, unroll and spread with filling. Roll onto serv-ing platter and sprinkle with extra confectioner’s sugar. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Pumpkin Roll not as difficult as it looks

Mama had great stories. My favor-ite was the only one I asked often for her to repeat.

It has become something of an anthem in my life.

She grew up in the 1930s Appalachians, where life was remote and simple but meaning-ful. She told the story of a simple-minded cousin named Henry who was sent by his parents to visit other members of the family. It was a journey of several hours on foot, so it required that he stop and have a meal with another family. In a burlap sack, Henry toted a baby pig which his daddy had instructed that he should give to Henry’s aunt and uncle as a gift.

At the house where he stopped

for a noontime meal, a couple of mischievous boys slipped around, got the sack and exchanged a pos-sum for the pig. A little bit later, one of the boys said, “Henry, what you got in that sack?”

Henry grinned. “I got a pig. Wanna see?” When he opened the sack, the smile slid from his face. It was a possum not a pig. Puzzled, he scratched his head. “Well, it was a pig when I left home.”

Before Henry contin-ued on his journey, the prank-playing boys slyly switched the piglet back. When Henry arrived at his destination, he said, “Papa sent y’all sumpin’.” He

opened the sack and found a pig. Now, Henry was aggravated. In a chiding, stern voice, he said to the piglet, “Make up your mind what-cha gonna be! If you’re gonna be

a pig, be a pig. If you’re gonna be a possum, be a possum.”

I still laugh at that story, but more important than that, it has become a life’s truth for me. Know what you are and be what you are. Don’t switch back and forth. Stick to who you are. Whenever Tink or I am working on a creative project and it starts to veer from a clear path, I’ll say comically, “If you’re gonna be a pig, be a pig. If you’re gonna be a possum, be a possum. Make up your mind what you’re gonna be.” It brings forth a good laugh and it redirects us.

One morning, I walked by the kitchen window just in time to see a black Angus bull wandering down the hill behind our house. We don’t have Angus cattle any longer. We have horses. Tink was up in the office, so I dashed to the foot of the stairs and called up, “Come quick! There’s a cow in

the yard.”Unbeknownst to me, Tink was

on a call with his agent, discussing an upcoming conference call on a pending project. Nonetheless, he ended the call, clattered down the stairs and followed me out into the yard. There in the driveway stood the wayward bull, staring at us with defiance.

“We need to put him in the pasture,” I said.

“But it’s not ours,” Tink re-plied.

“It’s the code of the country: When a neighbor’s cow is out, you put it in your pasture and the farmer will eventually find him. C’mon.”

Tink stood still, a bit baffled. “What am I supposed to do? I’m from L.A.”

Well, it turned out that Tink was not much help in getting up a cow, so he returned to his office for a call with the head of produc-

tion for a major studio while I chased the bull. From the window, he watched the adventure.

Later he explained, “I was conflicted between joining the chase or taking my phone call. I didn’t know if I was a television writer or a farmer.” He sighed. “I didn’t know if I was a pig or an opossum!”

I had to laugh. Then, I ex-plained that if he was going to be a real Southern farmer that it’s “possum”, not “o-possum”.

But he’s learning. He’ll make a great pig one day. Or possum.

Be a pig or be a possum

This column is a reprint from the April 2, 2009, edition of the White County News.

Emory Jones has stated that it is the people that make White County this wonderful place that we love. Let us

look at the actions of only one of these people and what his actions mean to all of us.

In 2009, Charlie Thomas was awarded the Freedom Team Salute by the U.S. Army. This was for his work in organizing and coordi-nating the White County Color Guard. Our American Legion Roy Head Post 16 made this recom-mendation, and Charlie was ap-proved and mailed a certificate of appreciation and a lapel pin. This honor is to recognize a person for their valiant effort in supporting a great cause.

I am sure that many of you have been proud to see these men as they perform for funerals, school children and pa-rades. Maybe you don’t know that this was the idea and hard work of Charlie Thomas. Now you know Charlie is not a veteran, but he is the person in charge and has worked tirelessly to secure these volun-teers, assisting them with secur-ing their uniforms and flags and recently a van.

You should see the eyes of the

schoolchildren as this color guard marches down the corri-dors at the schools on Veterans Day. What could inspire patrio-tism in a young person more?

At any showing of the White County Color Guard, Charlie Thomas makes sure things go smoothly.

Charlie is just that kind of person. He assisted his father, Charlie Thomas Sr., with his farming and chores. He has a number of brothers who also pitched in when their dad needed them.

Charlie has served as the chairman of the Better Home

Town board. As a member of White County’s planning board, he stands for the citizens in all his decisions. He has been active in the Future Farmers program where both of his children excel. Charlie

also serves on the White County Board of Education.

Charlie has a supportive wife, Barbara, who teaches music at Jack P. Nix Primary School. His family joins him in his hobby of collecting Indian artifacts. Many have been found at the farm where he was reared. He believes that there was once a Native American village there.

I am most proud that Charlie is an active member of the White County Historical Society, where he serves as a director. He has certainly been so much help to

this organization. His leadership is valued.

Charlie began his journey of honoring the veterans that were members of his church. Mountain View Baptist Church had a special day to salute the veterans of the church. They secured a uniform of their service and it went so well that the idea of a White County Color Guard was born.

I hope each of you will join me and the American Legion in giv-ing Charlie some well-deserved recognition for his service to our community and particularly to

the unique salute to our troops. At funerals the Color Guard is trained to perform well, and I am sure these military families have a special place in their hearts for their service. All of these activi-ties are voluntary. Thank-you to each veteran and special thanks to Charlie Thomas Jr.

It is a privilege to live here in White County.

Not all military veterans are humans.

Since World War I,

thousands of combat-trained dogs have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, and many sacrificed their lives in the performance of their duties.

Until recently, there was no physical landmark to honor these canine heroes. But that changed as of Oct. 28, when the U.S. Military Working Dog Teams National Monument was officially dedi-cated at Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio, Texas.

The 9-foot-tall sculp-ture – paid for with private donations – features a soldier/dog handler in the center, surrounded by four dogs representing the breeds most often used by the mili-tary: Doberman pinscher, German shepherd, Labra-dor retriever and Belgian Malinois.

Lackland was chosen as the site for the monument because the base has been the dog-training center for all branches of the armed forces since 1958.

During World War II and the Korean and Viet-nam conflicts, combat dogs were used for tasks such as guarding and tracking.

In some cases, duties once performed by dogs have now been taken over by technology. But there are some functions that dogs can still do better than ma-chines. In the Iraq and Af-ghanistan wars, dogs were used to sniff out improvised explosive devices (hidden, homemade bombs).

Yet despite the new memorial, combat dogs still don’t get the respect they deserve. Military dogs are officially designated as “equipment,” meaning they can be disposed of like trash when they are no longer needed.

Last year, a bill was introduced in Congress that would reclassify these dogs as “canine members of the Armed Forces” rather than “equipment.”

Who could be opposed to that? It seems pretty simple and straightforward. Yet by the time the final legislation authorizing military spend-ing in fiscal year 2013 came up for a vote, that provision had been removed.

It’s not just a matter of language. The bill would have made it easier for peo-ple to adopt former military dogs, and also would have set up a system (paid for through the private sector, not the government) to help pay for their veterinary care.

But one woman is not giving up. Texas native Lisa Phillips has been gather-ing signatures on a petition she calls “Too cute to be

equipment, too brave to go down without a fight.” She also founded the Retired Military Working Dog Assistance Orga-nization.

You can learn more about Phillips’ efforts by visiting

her Face-book page, “Canine Members of the Armed Forces Act.”

Let’s make sure these heroic dogs can live long, happy lives. It’s the least we can

do, after all they’ve done for our country.

than four decades and won numerous AKC obedience competitions with her late Sheltie, Sunny. She lives with her current Sheltie, Daisy. E-mail your Pet Tips

A salute to our military dogs

This new monument to military working dogs was dedicated Oct. 28 at Lackland Air Force Base, near San Antonio, Texas.

Preacher is a 2-year-old male poodle mix. Ramses is a 1½-year-old Pharaoh hound mix. Both are neu-tered and ready to find a good home. Ramses will require a fenced yard and Preacher needs to be an indoor dog.

Patti is a Carolina dog mix, about a year old and weigh-ing about 40 lbs. She is a very loving and sweet girl. She would be good in a young family who would play with her a lot, because she’s young and energetic. She has been spayed and is up to date on her shots.

Dear Lula Belle,I absolutely can-

not stand it when someone I do not know asks to hold

my newborn baby. I am not a rude person, and I hate to tell people no, but if I don’t know someone, they have no business holding my child. Am I wrong here? –Con-cerned Mom

Dear Mom,You are definitely not wrong.

It is not safe for a newborn baby to be held by people outside of your very close circle of family and friends. Your close family and friends have a personal interest in the well-being of your baby, and so they would very likely stay away from the baby if they were sick.

Strangers do not share this same interest. I am not saying that strangers would intention-ally spread germs, but they might not think about it as critically as

someone who actually loves your baby.

What might be considered to be “just a little cold,” could poten-tially infect your newborn with R.S.V., which is a serious virus that can cause life-threatening respiratory problems to a baby. You don’t want your baby to be spend-ing time in the hospital under an oxygen tent, so tell those strangers to back off.

In this world, you have to be firm. And firm is not the same thing as rude, although it can feel like it is for us sweet people.

Just say, “I don’t let people outside my family hold my baby.” Or “My doctor has advised me not

to allow other people to hold my baby.” And if they still don’t get the picture, you can always lie, and say, “Sorry, she has a baby disease that makes your skin turn green and your teeth fall out if you touch her. My family is immune to it because we got the vaccine for it when she was born.” (If they look at you funny, just add a “bless-your-heart,” and run away.)

Dear Lula Belle,

What is the best marriage ad-vice you have? I am a newlywed, and I hate to say it, but this is not the fairy tale I had in mind. We hardly ever fought when we were dating, but now we are constantly fighting. We really love each other, but we can’t see eye-to-eye on anything. What happened? –Dis-appointed Bride

Dear Disappointed Bride,

The first year of marriage is like a fairy tale. Have you read one lately? Fairy tales are full of

drama and horror. Some fairy tales are really scary.

Fairy tales usually involve a conflict, a climax, a turning point, and a resolution. The conflict part ain’t no picnic, nor should it be. Conflicts give us the opportunity to grow.

If you will always ask yourself, “What lesson can I learn from this?” you will grow. Always put the responsibility on yourself. You can’t change your husband, and he can’t change you.

Don’t get excited about the cli-max part, although I will say that a certain interpretation and practice of the word is good for a marriage. But in the fairy tale, the climax is when everything reaches the high point, and in this case, it will be your endless arguing.

When you can’t take it any-more, it gives way to the turning point. This will be the crossroads where you both must decide if the way things are going is the way you want your future to be. If not,

I suggest y’all find a better way to communicate.

Couples counseling is great for this. There is no shame in seek-ing professional help. In the midst of conflict, we need an outside, objective opinion. People who argue are usually desperate to be understood, but when your mes-sage is obscured by harsh words or yelling, your partner cannot hear you. Counselors can help us discover new ways to communi-cate. Imagine how good you both will feel to finally be “heard.”

Finally comes the resolution part, when y’all discover that true partners don’t work against each other, they help each other. And that, my friend, is the happily ever after.

White County High School classmates of 1978 recently gath-ered from all over the country to celebrate their class reunion.

The reunion was held at the old gym at the Sautee Nacoochee Center with the theme “Still Crazy After All These Years.”

In remembrance of the class’ school prom, themed “Stairway To Heaven,” held at the old WCHS gym, the Sautee gym was aglow with twinkling lights and starry

paper, complete with a photo booth, plenty of food and South-ern sweet tea.

Class president Eddie Allen welcomed the group and class-mates Lynn Merritt, Lynn Sutton Terrell, Deena Allison Hand, and Donna Elrod Andrews shared memories turned in by classmates of things they remembered.

Laura Kanady Cormier, a re-union co-planner, read a memorial for the 18 classmates who have

passed away and a candle was lit in their memory.

Co-planner Cindy Foster Grace expressed her excitement at be-ing able to attend her first class reunion since moving back to Georgia, and she introduced the entertainment.

Classmates Eddie Allen and Tony Sims and their band Echo Rowdy entertained the crowd with wonderful music, most of them original songs written by the band

members. Door prizes were drawn

throughout the night, and class-mate Lynn Sutton expressed appreciation to the crowd who helped to provide the evening’s door prizes.

One of the most cherished door prizes was a set of three bricks salvaged from the campus when the old high school was demolished, donated by Kathy Humphries Thomas.

Donna Elrod Andrews and several attending were members of the last eighth-grade class to graduate from Nacoochee El-ementary before it was consoli-dated with WCHS. These students were recognized.

A total of 45 classmates, 20 spouses and 10 guests attended the reunion. It was a wonderful time to renew friendships and to remember those special days in 1978.

One day a television reporter received a letter from a young girl. It read:“When I grow up I want to do what you do.Please do it better!” Often when we observe someone doing something, we can

see many ways to improve their work. It only seems natural that we can always dis-cover ways for others to improve on what they are doing.

It is much easier for me to want to improve or change someone – actually anyone – other than myself.

Jesus said, “Judge not,” and He wondered how we could see the speck in our brother’s eye in spite of the log that was in our own eye.

One sure way to improve the quality of our lives is to turn them over to Jesus and to measure whatever we do by what He has done. When He imparts His wisdom in our minds, implants His strength into our bodies, instills His truth in our hearts, endows our hearts with His love, we will be so busy doing His work that we won’t have time to criticize others.

The Mini Page®

Guide to the Constitution

The Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation changed the main goal of

the war, from keeping the U.S. united to ending slavery.

On July 1, 2 and 3, 1863, the Union army of the North and the Confederate army of the South fought the bloodiest battle of the Civil War at Gettysburg, Pa. In those three days, there were more than 50,000 casualties (KA-zhul-tees), or men killed, wounded, captured or missing. The battle was a turning point in the war. It marked the beginning of the Union victory. But what people may remember most about Gettysburg is a two-minute speech by President Abraham Lincoln. He delivered his now-famous Gettysburg Address on Nov. 19, 1863, at the dedication of the battlefield cemetery. It still inspires people today. In honor of Veterans Day, Nov. 11, The Mini Page talked with an expert from Gettysburg National Military Park to learn more about the world-changing events that took place there 150 years ago.

Bringing the battle north Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, had invaded the North only one other time. Up to that time, most of the battles had been fought in the South. As a result, the South was nearly destroyed. Lee invaded the North partly to force people there to see how horrible the war was. There was a growing peace movement in the North. Many wanted to let the South leave the United States so the war would end. Lee wanted to give that movement a push. By bringing the war to the North, he hoped to make people even more eager to end it.

The town Lee chose Gettysburg as the battleground partly because the train came through there and 12 different roads met there. He needed to be able to move equipment, men and horses. He also needed a place with open fields where battles could take place. Gettysburg was a town of about 2,400 people. By the end of the battle, every field and garden had become a graveyard. Wounded soldiers lay in all the public buildings and churches and

in many people’s homes.

This art from about 1867 shows Union troops advancing from the right in the battle of Gettysburg.Although the war went on for about two more years after Gettysburg, this battle changed the war. Until then, the South had won most of the battles. But after Gettysburg and another Union victory on July 4, the Confederacy no longer seemed unbeatable. The Union gained hope.

The Gettysburg battle The Confederacy won the first day of fighting. But then the Union Army of the Potomac re-formed, and the Union gained the high ground. This gave them the advantage. No one won on the second day of fighting. On the third day, the Confederates forced the Union army back until the troops, under Gen. George Gordon Meade, turned the tables and won the battle. On July 4, Lee led his troops in retreat. They had to travel slowly; they were carrying so many wounded soldiers that the line of ambulance wagons stretched for 17 miles. Out of about 170,000 Union and Confederate soldiers who fought in the battle, there were about 23,000 Union casualties. This was more than one-quarter of all the Army of the Potomac’s troops. There were about 28,000 Confederate casualties, more than one-third of Lee’s army.

Battle Casualties

Treating the wounded After the battle, the Union Army Medical Corps (kor) stayed to treat the wounded of both sides. They moved the wounded from houses and public buildings to hospitals set up in barns or tents. The medical corps eventually formed one general hospital, where patients were treated in tents outside Gettysburg. As soon as they were able to travel, wounded soldiers were sent by train to their homes or to regular hospitals.

Honoring the dead The Gettysburg battlefield cemetery, named the Soldiers’ National Cemetery, was dedicated, or officially opened, on Nov. 19, 1863. A famous orator (OR-uh-tor), or speaker, Edward Everett, was the main speaker at the dedication. He spoke for two hours. When he was done, Abraham Lincoln spoke for about two minutes. His words changed history.Lincoln’s decision President Lincoln knew that the peace movement was growing. The cemetery dedication was his chance to get his message to the country. He believed the war had to continue until slavery ended. He had just lost one son and had another son sick at home. It was a day’s travel from Washington, D.C., to Gettysburg. The fact that Lincoln still came shows how important he thought his message was.

The past and the future Every part of Lincoln’s speech was filled with meaning. The speech begins, “Four score and seven years ago…” A score is 20 years. Lincoln was really saying, “Eighty-seven years ago, when the Declaration of Independence was adopted, a new nation was born.” He believed America began with the Declaration of Independence, not with the Constitution. This was important because many slave-owners claimed that the Constitution did not outlaw slavery. But Lincoln argued that the Declaration was against slavery. He said the founders of America wanted America to be “conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” Lincoln said that the Civil War was “testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.” He

meant that the war was testing whether the bold, new idea that all men were created equal could last.

Lincoln Fights for Freedom

The speech Here are parts of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address: “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. “… It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

After several sterling seasons at New England, he looks like the same old pass-catching Welker on a new team.

In nine years with the Patriots, he made All-Pro four times and grabbed more than 100 passes in five different seasons, an NFL record. Welker was overlooked in the NFL draft despite setting records at Texas Tech. But people in the pros now look up to the 5-9 star. A receiver with a giving spirit, No. 83 has the Wes Welker Foundation that gives youth a chance to play football in his hometown. Welker was given a chance 10 years ago in the NFL and made the most of his opportunity.

Saluting our White County Veterans

White County News

SALUTE TO . . . . .VETERAN’S DAY A1

We hope you enjoy this special section. It is inspir-

ing to see page after page of the veterans who reside in White County.

If you are a veteran and not listed, please know we plan to do this again next year.

So make plans to get your photo and information to us during October 2014.

On page 8, there is a special story told by Roger London about his uncle,

Winford Humphries, who was killed in World War II. The photos that accompany

his story tell their own story. It makes you realize the sac-rifice of each American who has served in the Armed Forces, a sacrifice made for our country. For Private Humphries, his sacrifice was his life.

As for this edition, it would not have been pos-sible without the support of our many good advertisers who so willingly bought advertising.

I hope all our readers pay attention to their messages of appreciation. Let’s sup-port these advertisers. They

were proud to jump right in and honor you.

Finally, I want to thank our staff for the extra work each of them put into this section. Amy Allen helped to organize this project, and she also designed the entire section.

Let us know what you think. And on Veterans Day next Monday, Nov. 11, take time to thank a veteran.

The community veterans’ luncheon in White County has become a special event each year since it was started in 2004 by Sonya Kassouf, whose son went on combat duty to Iraq.

This year, on Tuesday, Oct. 29, veterans and their spouses or guests packed the fellowship hall at The Bridge Church as they

enjoyed a delicious meal. After the meal, each veteran was presented with a gift of a key chain with a “dog tag” bearing the inscription, “Freedom Isn’t Free.”

Before the lunch, the vets and other guests gathered in The Bridge sanctuary for a program that featured patri-otic songs by the 77-mem-ber choral group from White County Intermediate School.

The JROTC at White

County High School performed the posting of the colors, and three of its members spoke to the veter-ans, thanking them for their service. A rifle team also did a precision drill.

The program also in-cluded remarks from Larry Sanderson, North Georgia Ride Captain for the Patriot Guard Riders.

“We are here to show honor and respect for the family of a veteran who has passed away,” he said. “All our services are free. We will come when the family invites us.”

In addition, Mary Beth LaShoto sang the National Anthem and God Bless the USA.

Lt. Col. Richard Hob-son, JROTC commander at White County High School, introduced three of the Warriors in the JROTC. The three were seniors Connor Allen, Sara Bushey and Darla Hoopingarner.

“I have decided to do a career in the U.S. Army,” Allen said. “I thank each of the veterans for your service.”

Hoopingarner added: “Veterans, you put it all on the line for what you believe in.”

Bushey said: “Our veter-ans have spent a long time away from family and home to protect something worth protecting.”

Tammy Fletter of Cleve-land was in charge of this year’s luncheon.

“We want to thank all our sponsors and volunteers that helped make our lun-cheon so special,” she said. “This is an event we do every year, the last Tuesday in October.”

So how did the vets feel about it?

“This is really great. They all do such a nice job. I really liked the new format better this year too, having the program before the lun-cheon,” said Stewart Tyler of Cleveland, who served in the U.S. Air Force from 1965 to 1968, with a tour in Vietnam.

Jeff Gore, another Vietnam veteran, added: “I thought it was great, espe-cially the community in-volvement. I hope this will stimulate younger veterans to participate next year. We want them to feel welcome to join the American Le-gion, and certainly to attend these kinds of recognitions. It is for veterans of all ages, not just us older guys.”

Official song of the U.S. Air Force

‘The U.S. Air Force’"Off we go into the wild blue yonder,Climbing high into the sun;Here they come zooming to meet our thun-der,At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun! (Give 'er the gun now!)Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,Off with one helluva roar!We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!"

"Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,Sent it high into the blue;Hands of men blasted the world asunder;How they lived God only knew! (God only knew hey!)Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquerGave us wings, ever to soar!With scouts before And bombers galore. (Hey!)Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!"

"Here's a toast to the hostOf those who love the vastness of the sky,

To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.We drink to those who gave their all of old,Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force!"

"Off we go into the wild sky yonder,Keep the wings level and true;If you'd live to be a grey-haired wonderKeep the nose out of the blue! (Out of the blue, boy!)Flying men, guarding the nation's border,We'll be there, followed by more!In echelon we carry on. Hey!Nothing'll stop the Air Force!Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!"

Originally, the song was titled as “Army Air Corps.’”Robert MacArthur Crawford wrote the lyrics and music in 1938. In 1947,when the Air Force became a sepa-rate service, the song became the Air Force Song.

The Georgia Military Veterans’ Hall of Fame (GMVHOF) has announced 18 inductees for the first class of military heroes.

The induction ceremony will be on Friday evening, Nov. 22, at the Doubletree Hotel in Columbus.

There are seven Medal of Honor recipients from three different branches of service.

Probably the rarest inductee is a Civil War recipient, U.S. Navy Gun-ner’s Mate George Leland of Savannah. He received his MOH during the battle of Charleston Harbor in 1863 while under direct fire and attempting to free the USS Lehigh, an iron-clad monitor that had run aground.

Two of the honorees are from Newnan, and both re-ceived the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam conflict.

Air Force Colonel Joe Jackson and Marine Major Stephen Pless each volun-tarily landed their aircraft in enemy-controlled areas to rescue soldiers who were facing certain death.

Two other men to receive the Medal of Honor shared the same last name and were both Marines.

General Ray Davis hailed from Fitzgerald and earned his MOH in Korea as he led his battalion in savage hand-to-hand fighting against a numerically superior enemy force. Sergeant Rodney Da-vis from Macon earned his MOH in Vietnam by sac-rificing his life for his men by leaping on an exploding grenade. The fourth Marine honoree with the MOH is WWII veteran Henry Elrod from Ashburn. As an aviator on Wake Island, he fought gallantly in the air until his aircraft was disabled. Then he led others in a ground de-fense until he was mortally wounded.

Air Force Captain Hill-iard Wilbanks of Habersham County is the final recipient of the Medal of Honor in this year’s class.

Wilbanks was killed in

action in Vietnam while flying an unarmed small airplane and firing his personal weapon on a large enemy force to divert them from over-running a much smaller force of Army Rangers and Vietnamese soldiers.

A third inductee from Newnan is Johnny Cal-houn. In Vietnam, he was a member of the secret Army Special Forces Group known as SOG.

As a leader for a six-man team deep behind enemy lines, they were discovered by a large enemy force.

In an unhesitating self-less act, Johnny voluntarily sacrificed his life in order that his team might escape and live. His remains have never been recovered.

For his actions he was awarded this nation’s second highest award, the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC).

Retired Army Ranger Colonel Ralph Puckett fought in two wars, Korea and Vietnam, and received two DSCs and numerous other awards during his 30- year career.

Another retired soldier, 95-year-old Vince Melillo, fought in WWII and was one of the original Merrill’s Marauders. He then served in Korea and Vietnam. Both Puckett and Melillo live in Columbus and are still very active in supporting young Rangers at Fort Benning.

Wendall Jones of Tifton was 16 when he managed to enlist in the Navy at the beginning of WWII. He hit the beach of Normandy at 17. For the next three years of the war in Europe, he somehow escaped death on many occasions but not without many wounds while performing almost superhu-man feats of bravery.

Two of the more recog-nizable names on the list are Army Major General David Grange and Army Colonel Ben Purcell.

Both of them received multiple Silver Stars, the nation’s third highest award

for valor, plus many other awards during service in Vietnam.

Ben Purcell, a native of Clarkesville, was held as a prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese Army for more than five years. They are both graduates of North Georgia University in Dahlonega.

Rounding out the 18 people to be honored are men who have dedicated their lives to serving and or made great achievements.

One such man is retired Sergeant Major of the Army William Connelly of Monti-cello. He is one of a handful of soldiers ever to be named the highest ranking enlisted person in the United States Army.

Tommy Clack of Decatur sacrificed three of his limbs in combat in Vietnam and was medically retired from the Army. He has continued to serve in various capaci-ties, assisting veterans for over 40 years.

There are three more inductees noted for service to their fellow citizens.

The Honorable Pete Wheeler, originally from Albany is an Army WWII veteran and has been the director of the Department of Veterans Service for the state of Georgia for over 50 years.

Also being inducted is John Yates of Griffin, an Army WWII veteran, former congressman, and former and chairman of the Defense & Veterans Affairs Committee for Georgia.

Allan Imes, also from Griffin, is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and Vietnam veteran who for decades transformed hundreds of boys and girls into young men and women while in charge of the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Griffin High School.

is someone who at one point in their life wrote a check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount of “up to and including my life.”

– Author Unknown



by Roger LondonSpecial to the News

As a young boy, I recall a cedar chest sitting in the corner of my grandparents’ living room.

Allie and Geneva Humphries, my grandparents who lived in White Coun-ty, kept this chest filled with the personal items of their son and my uncle, Winford Humphries.

Most of the items in the chest were re-turned to my grandparents during World War II after their son, nicknamed Wimp because of his small stature, was classified as MIA.

Other items were added to the chest when his remains were found in 1969 on New Georgia Island in the South Pacific.

My grandmother kept the chest closed most of the time. I’m sure that it was too painful to see. The few times that I was al-lowed to look inside, I was amazed at the contents. When both of my grandparents passed away, the family graciously gave me the war chest and I finally had the chance to explore the treasures inside.

I discov-ered all of my uncle’s per-sonal items from the war – including chewing gum, toothpaste and tooth-brush and his cigarette lighter. Also in the chest are two shoe boxes full of letters to my grand-mother, his uniform and the American flag that draped his casket at his funeral. There are pictures from the jungle as the recovery team exhumed his body.

Veterans Day is a very personal day for

both my family and me because we lost one of our own.

My uncle was actually the first White County fatality of World War II. And though I never personally knew my Uncle Wimp, I feel close to him because of the hours I’ve spent digging into his war chest.

His letters mean the most to me. He always started his letters to my grandma with “Dearest Mother.” His words to her always made it seem like every-thing was just fine, even though we all know what our troops ex-perienced in the South Pacific.

My mom often recalls that as Wimp left for the war, he walked away from their home and never turned around to look back. Per-

haps he knew that he would never return.

May God bless all

our troops and veterans.

Roger London and his wife, Kathy, live in White County. They have three children: Levi, Olivia and Max.

Roger proudly displays a few of the many artifacts of his Uncle Winford’s service during World War II. The chest originally belonged to Roger’s grandmother, Geneva Humphries.

Cedar chest holds memories of fallen WWII soldierRoger London remembers his Uncle Winford Humphries

“My mom often recalls that as Wimp left for the war, he walked away from their home and never turned around to look back. Perhaps he knew that he would never return.”

– Roger London

Roger treasures his Uncle Winford’s personal items from World War II, including photographs and letters written to his mother, Roger’s grandmother, during the war.

Roger London inherited his uncle’s uniform, personal items, letters, Purple Heart declaration, death in service certificate from the Army, and flag that draped his uncle’s casket. The chest is filled with more artifacts from the life of Private First Class Winford Humphries. (Photos/Kathy London)

The Purple Heart certificate was issued posthumously to Roger’s uncle, Private First Class Winford Humphries, in September of 1943, more than two decades before his remains were discovered on New Georgia Island in the South Pacific.

Stand Navy down the field, sails set to the sky.We'll never change our course, so Army you steer shy-y-y-y.Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh.Sail Navy down the field and sink the Army, sink the Army Grey.

[Verse 2]Get underway, Navy, Decks cleared for the fray,We'll hoist true Navy Blue So Army down your Grey-y-y-y.Full speed ahead, Navy; Army heave to,Furl Black and Grey and Gold and hoist the Navy, hoist the Navy Blue

[Verse 3]Blue of the Seven Seas;

Gold of God's great sunLet these our colors be Till all of time be done-n-n-ne,By Severn shore we learn Navy's stern call:Faith, courage, service true With honor over, honor over all.

The song was composed in 1906 by Charles A. Zim-merman, a Lieutenant and bandmaster of the United States Naval Academy Band. Alfred Hart Miles, a Midshipman First Class at the United States Naval Academy, wrote the lyrics for the first two verses. The song was adopted as the official song of the Navy in 1907. The concluding stanza was written by Midshipman Royal Lovell in 1926.

Official song of the U.S. Navy

‘Anchors Aweigh’

First to fight for the right,And to build the Nation’s might,And The Army Goes Rolling AlongProud of all we have done,Fighting till the battle’s won,And the Army Goes Rolling Along.

Refrain:Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!The Army’s on its way.Count off the cadence loud and strongFor where e’er we go,You will always knowThat The Army Goes Rolling Along.

Official song of the U.S. Army

‘The Army Goes Rolling Along’

From the Halls of Montezuma,To the shores of Tripoli;We fight our country’s battlesIn the air, on land, and sea;First to fight for right and freedomAnd to keep our honor clean:We are proud to claim the titleOf United States Marine.Our flag’s unfurled to every breezeFrom dawn to setting sun;We have fought in every clime and placeWhere we could take a gun;In the snow of far-off Northern landsAnd in sunny tropic scenes;

You will find us always on the jobThe United States Marines.Here’s health to you and to our CorpsWhich we are proud to serve;In many a strife we’ve fought for lifeAnd never lost our nerve;If the Army and the NavyEver look on Heaven’s scenes;They will find the streets are guardedBy United States Marines.

The ‘Marine’s Hymn’ is the oldest official song in the United States military.

A proclamation by Gov. Nathan DealBelow is the text of the

proclamation set forth by Gov. Nathan Deal:

BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF

GEORGIA

A PROCLAMATION

VETERANS DAY

WHEREAS: the citizens of Georgia and the United States of America live in freedom because of the contributions and per-sonal sacrifices made by those who have served and by those now serving in the Armed Forces; and

WHEREAS: Our nation has fought and continues to fight bat-tles around the world for the ideals of liberty and justice. The words of the first Veterans Day proclamation signed by President Eisenhower still ring true: “Let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain”; and

WHEREAS: Georgia has always provided its best and brightest sons and daughters to serve bravely in America’s Armed Forces. We remember with somber and grateful hearts those men and women who have

served in the military with distinction and valor as sailors, soldiers, airmen, and Marines, and off our sincere prayers for those who continue to defend the principles on which our na-tion was founded; and

WHEREAS: We will en-deavor to always honor the contributions and sacrifices

of the millions of Georgians who have, over the centu-ries, served in the military and the tens of thousands presently serving, both hat home and abroad; and

WHEREAS: The State of Georgia is home to more than 776,000 veterans and tens of thousands of our nation’s military families. We are proud to recognize our country’s veterans and extend the appreciation of citizens to those who wear the uniforms of the United States Armed Forces and serve on the front lines, preserving freedom and liberty; now

THEREFORE: I, NA-THAN DEAN, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim Novem-ber 11, 2013, as VETER-ANS DAY in Georgia and encourage all citizens to observe and appreciate the sacrifices and contributions of our veterans who fought for peace and defended

democracy in our land and abroad.

In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 29th day of Oc-tober in the year of our Lord two thousand thirteen.

Official song of the U.S. Coast Guard

‘Semper Paratus’ (Always Ready)From Aztec shore to Arctic zone,To Europe and Far East.The Flag is carried by our ships,In times of war and peace.And never have we struck it yet,In spite of foe-men’s might,Who cheered our crews and cheered again,For showing how to fight.

[verse 2]SURVEYOR and NARCIS-SUS,The EAGLE and DIS-PATCH,The HUDSON and the TAMPAThe names are hard to match;From Barrow’s shores to Paraguay,Great Lakes or ocean’s wave,The Coast Guard fought

through storms and windsTo punish or to save.

[verse 3]Aye, we’ve been “Always Ready”To do, to fight, or dieWrite glory to the shield we wearIn letters to the sky.To sink the foe or save the maimedOur mission and our prideWe’ll carry on ‘til Kingdom ComeIdeals for which we’ve died.

[First chorus]We’re always ready for the call,We place our trust in Thee.Through surf and storm and howling gale,High shall our purpose be.“Semper Paratus” is our guide,Our fame, our glory too.

To fight to save or fight to die,Aye! Coast Guard, we are for you!

[Second chorus]We’re always ready for the call,We place our trust in Thee.Through howling gale and shot and shell,To win our victory.“Semper Paratus” is our guide,Our pledge, our motto too.We’re “Always Ready” do or die!Aye! Coast Guard we are for you!

The original words and mu-sic were written by Captain Francis S. Van Boskerch in 1927. The first line of each chorus was changed in 1969. A second chorus was written 1943.

Guy Williamson of Clarkesville attended the community veterans’ luncheon. He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1954 to 1958.

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.”

– President John F. Kennedy

“A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.”

– General Douglas MacArthur

“Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.”

– G.K. Chesterton
