County furloughs may be ending

By LEANNE AKIN lakin@clickthepaper.com Jackson County employees may be seeing an end to furlough days later this year with County Manager Kevin Poe’s evaluation of the county’s financial situation which includes some positive news.

During Monday’s work session, Poe asked commissioners to consider elimination of furlough days scheduled for October, November and December, however, he said additional austerity measures including furloughs may still be in the county’s future.

Commissioner Dwayne Smith has taken the lead in seeking an end to furloughs. Commissioners had asked Poe to evaluate the possibility of reducing the days county employees don’t report for work and don’t get paid. The

savings of that one furlough day a month has been part of how Jackson County has been weathering the economic downturn.

This recommendation is being made after reviewing and assessing the county’s current financial situation.

“Even though the economy is still struggling and several key economic indicators are still not where we want them to be, there are several positive things happening to the county’s budget that leads me to make this recommendation,” said Poe’s memo to commissioners.

Poe points to the Fiscal Year 2011 end which found Jackson County in “much better shape that anticipated. While it had been anticipated that $1.8 million in reserves would be required to balance the budget shortfall, the year-end audit presented at the June 11

meeting showed a brighter financial picture with $700,000 being added to reserves.

Finance Director John Hulsey presented the county’s 2011 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for which the county received an unqualified or “clean” opinion of its financial statements. Hulsey said reserves were being added to the General Fund.

Duane Schlereth, the county’s independent auditor with Bates, Carter and Company, congratulated Hulsey and the county finance staff and county constitutional officers for assistance during the audit process.

Schlereth presented a PowerPoint of the Fiscal Year 2011 audit. He indicated there were no findings to internal controls that needed to be reported.

Poe also noted that improvements in Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) collections were

also being reported -- an average of 7 percent over the previous year with the past 10 months showing increased collections in all months but one. If the increase remains on track at 7 percent, Jackson County could collect nearly half a million more in LOST funds than were budgeted.

While the county debt load remains high, Poe noted, a $200,000 savings in debt service payments will be experienced in this fiscal year thanks to some refinancing moves.

Good news was also heard related to health insurance for employee coverage being renewed at little added county cost and the Defined Benefit Pension contribution being a little less than last year’s expense.

Habitat dedicates home of Bahena family of 4

By ROXANE ROSE rrose@clickthepaper.com Gesila Bahena and her three children now have a home of their own thanks to the efforts of the Jackson County Habitat for Humanity. They took ownership on June 28 during a dedication ceremony.

Mark Bradley, president of the Jackson County Habitat, welcomed everyone, followed by an invocation from board member and Jefferson Police Officer Fred Wilson of Homer Baptist Church.

Housewarming gifts were presented to Bahena by board member Anna Chambers, who said, as she presented each item, “Bread, so your pantry will always be full; sugar, so your life in this home will be sweet; and a penny, so you will be blessed with prosperity.”

Other board members were part of the ceremony as well, presenting the new ho-

meowner with a Bible and a hammer. The key to the home was presented by Teresa Vaughan Smith.

With tears of joy rolling down her face, Bahena said, “I appreciate this opportunity … you have no idea how much I appreciate the volunteers who made this home possible. You dream of it, you work toward it…and I got it. Thank you for this organization. I plan to give back. On behalf of my family, thank you, all of you, and God bless each and every one of you.”

Paul Brown, executive director of the Jackson County Habitat who joined the organization in April, talked about what a “wonderful ministry” Habitat is.

“We have plans for two houses this year,” he said. “This is one down, and one to go. We will be reviewing applications for the second one next week.”

FURLOUGHS from page 1A

Financial climate looking better Other savings are projected in operations of the Correctional Institute with the reduced number of state inmates being housed.

Related to county jail operations, Sheriff Stan Evans will transfer from the Jail Fines account an estimated $200,000 to pay for some costs that had previously been made from the county’s general fund. The fine funds must be used for jail-related operations.

“This will free up enough money in the general fund to cover the cost of eliminating three furlough days,” said Poe. Another positive bit of economic news relates to economic development impacts. Total revenue from the building inspection fees will significantly surpass budgeted figures with the FY2012 already exceeding at the budget midpoint with the Bed, Bath and Beyond and Toyota projects, Poe noted.

“One could argue that we consider reducing furlough days by more than three this year, but unfortunately the county is not quite where it needs to be financially,” said Poe, who also reminded some of the general fund reserves are expected to be required to balance the budget.

“We are experiencing another year where the tax digest is actually declining,” said Poe. “Until we see an increase in the tax digest to offset some of the high debt service burden and an overall increase in revenues along

with eliminating the need to balance the budget with fund balance reserves, then the county will have to continue its austerity measures to control expenditures which include requiring some furlough days to be taken.

“As the economy improves, we will be able to eliminate more furlough days,” said Poe. Poe said eliminating three furloughs should be a morale booster for county employees who have sacrificed for four years.

“County employees have had salaries frozen and mandatory furlough days for nearly four years now and have had to absorb some increases in the cost of benefits [such as health insurance] as well as experiencing a reduction in force,” Poe said. “These issues are not unique to other local governments and we have definitely seen the private sector implement similar measures as we all struggle through this down economy.”

Poe said, “Eliminating three furlough days should help employee morale and recognize the county employees for working hard and doing more with less these past four years in order to keep expenditures down.”

Commission Chairman Hunter Bicknell said he expects the commission vote to eliminate the final three furlough days of the 2012 calendar year will be unanimous.

The vote is expected at the commission’s July 16 meeting.

Eliminating three furlough days should help employee morale and recognize the county employees for working hard and doing more with less these past four years in order to keep expenditures down.

Photographer Doug Chellew captured images of downtown Jefferson during Saturday’s Freedom Festival. While festival-goers may have been waiting past the 5 p.m. start time for the triple-digit temperaties to cool somewhat before venturing downtown, the music and the fireworks completed the pre-Fourth of July feeling.

“Best fireworks in Jackson County” is how Mayor Jim Joiner described the show.

nists to enslave all people everywhere, yet promising freedom, I have a greater fear we are closer to loosing all of our freedoms than ever.

On this day when we celebrate our freedoms with family and friends, let us all engage others in the conversation where we will express our beliefs in that which has made and kept our country great. Let us determine to make sure those men and women who receive our vote in the next election will always vote our values that will continue to assure we will remain a free nation.

Unless we rally the citizens of our country to stand up, speak up and refuse to be silent until we turn back this nation to less government and more personal responsibility, we will continue on the path where we are headed and when we arrive we will discover it is not a path to freedom, but enslavement to the government. With too many of our citizens now depending on the government for support and their livelihood, it is possible we will continue down this road to enslavement.

From where I stand, we must no longer remain silent, but be wiling to stand and be counted as those who stand for freedom from government tyranny.

2 electrocuted in Tuesday accident Two men in their early 30s came into contact with high voltage electrical equipment while doing contract work on the electrical system outside a Valentine Industrial Parkway industry just before 9 a.m. on Tuesday.

Emergency units from North Jackson, Jefferson Fire and Rescue and Jackson County EMS responded inside the Georgia Power fence.

According to Jackson County Public Safety Director Steve Nichols, one man was burned on his arms after a ladder reportedly fell into the transformer box.

“This patient was transported by EMS to Athens Regional in stable condition with burns to his arms,” said Nichols. “The second patient was trapped inside the box until Georgia Power Crews to de-energize the electricity and the patient could be removed.”

Nichols reported that patient was transported by Helicopter to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta with multiple third-degrees burns to his upper torso.

“He was listed as extremely critical on the scene and no other updates are available at this time,” said Nichols, who noted no additional injuries were reported. Crews were on the scene until 10 a.m.

The extreme heat last week also prompted a spike in calls, according to Nichols.

“We saw a spike in service-related calls,” said Nichols. “Our call volume has almost doubled this past week, especially through the weekend.

“With the temps getting back into the 90s this week and some rain [in the] forecast, we hope to see a little slow down. The calls we are seeing are mostly respiratory calls which are generally shown to be related to

the weather,” said Nichols.

The West Jackson Fire Department logged the following: ■ An EMS call was made to a Pocket Road residence on June 24 and personnel went to a Highway 53 Braselton location on June 24.

■ A patient walked into the station on June 25 and complained of not feeling well.

Med 3 was summoned and the patient was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center.

■ Responding to an Olde Wick Road location on June 25, personnel assisted with a patient until Med 3 arrived to transport the patient to Northeast Georgia Medical Center.

■ A passenger car caught fire on Maddox Road on June 25 while the owner was practicing a stunt in the middle of a pasture. The vehicle was fully involved when firefighters arrived to put out the fire and cool down surrounding hot spots.

POLICE from page 2A Jackson County Sheriff’s Office ■ Extra patrol was requested after someone broke into buildings on the Shields-Ethridge Farm on June 27-28. The commissary building, warehouse and teacher’s house were entered.

■ A Carruth Road resident returned home June 26 to find someone had smashed a window in her door and gained entry.

■ A Barber Road resident reported two step ladders, a Nintendo DS and a Leap Pad were taken while he was away.

The ladders were the property of a construction company doing work. A possible suspect was identified, according to a June 25 report.

Someone apparently tossed a yogurt cup that hit the front door.

■ A Carruth Road resident reported her 14 karat gold bracelet and a bag containing $60 in change was taken from a vehicle June 24-25.

■ A Crown Drive resident reported a friend doing work at her home took five swords and a shotgun from a closet.

When he was confronted, the man acknowledged he had taken the items and returned the swords.

He said he had pawned the gun in Winder and he would take more time to return the property.

When the man had not returned the gun, the complainant wanted to file a report.

■ A Macy Lane, Hoschton resident reported an entering auto June 28-29. A Chevrolet Astro was entered by someone who took two debit cards, a check and a driver’s license. One of the debit cards was used at the Racetrack in Jefferson.

A man at the scene and the vehicle matched the description of the suspect in a theft at the Calvin Klein Outlet that occurred a short time earlier. Deputy Chris Peters asked about looking in the trunk and the

man said his girlfriend who had been driving had gone for help and she had the keys with her. The deputy checked the trunk and found it was not locked. Inside the trunk were bags of clothing with the tags still attached.

FORUM PAGE 6A | THURSDAY, JULY 5, 2012

Cranking out some ice cream got expensive With fresh peaches now arriving at produce markets around the region, I thought it was time for a churn of fresh peach ice cream.

This is also the time for a fresh tomato sandwich.

The latter of these is much easier to accomplish by purchasing a fresh loaf of white bread and a jar of Duke’s Mayonnaise.

The original Duke was Eugenia Duke of Greenville, S.C. She performed the miracle of turning lemons and egg whites into a wonderful fluffy sandwich topping. In this sense, the word “miracle” should not be confused with “Miracle Whip,” which is just plain awful and not miraculous.

There has always been a place in my heart for homemade ice cream. About this time of year, there usually was a night during the revival week at church where several non-sinning, well-confessed men would produce a few churns of ice cream in time for the end of that evening’s revival service.

It was important for all those who were in need of spiritual revival to be in the service.

The men responsible for ice cream-making would stand and hand-crank the concoction that most often had been prepared by their dutiful wives. While church folks shouldn’t be given to prideful acts like boasting and bragging, a good churn of ice cream did the bragging for them.

After the last verse of “Just as I am” was finished, folks began making their way to the fellowship hall where the ice cream was just being opened up for serving. There were only six verses of “Just as I am” in the 1956 Baptist Hymnal, but most good revival preachers would have them repeated at least twice. So after 12 rounds of “Just as I

Harris Blackwood am,” we dashed off for ice cream.

When my thoughts turned to homemade ice cream, I found one problem: We did not own an ice cream churn.

I went to a big box store and found that the current popular model resembles the kind of trashcan you would put in your home bathroom. It has an electric motor that comes in colors like pink and vanilla.

It was sad.

I wanted one like the old days with an oak churn held together by hoops, like a barrel.

I found one. It was genuine all the way down to the hand crank. The retail price was $200. I did not buy it.

I was about to give up on my quest when we went to another big box store and there at the end of an aisle was a replica of the churn of my dreams: An oak-looking bucket powered by an electric motor. I thought some Indiana craftsman who makes old oaken buckets certainly must have made it. It was not. Laborers in a Chinese factory made it.

If you buy all of the very rich ingredients that are recommended for peach ice cream, plus the cost of the Chinese-made ice cream churn, this gallon of ice cream is going to cost about $60.

You can buy a lot of storebought ice cream at the supermarket for $60, but when you’re through with it, there is no material left for your newspaper column.

Friends go off crying and cussing This is how bad times are getting — Claudette has taken to crying and Grace Ann has taken up cussing.

It’s like living in a science fiction film. It’s like visiting a foreign country.

I’ve never been a big fan of unwanted change. I resist it. So when Claudette, tough as nails, broke down and cried and Grace Ann, who never met a Bible Study she didn’t memorize, cussed — and both happened in the same week — I was stunned speechless. I walked around in a daze for two days.

“What is happening to the world as I know it?”

I mumbled to myself as I folded clothes. The end of time must be near, I concluded. After all, strange things are suppose to happen before time concludes.

Trust me when I tell you – really strange things are happening around here.

It started with Grace Ann. She’s the epitome of calm and kindness, the one who loves her enemies, prays for those who hurt her and stirs up a casserole at the first hint of an obituary. She refuses to see a movie that is rated R

Ronda Rich and the strongest word in her vocabulary is “darn.”

Spelled out, I might add.

“Oh, d-a-r-n!” she exclaimed one day when she snagged her silk dress with her engagement ring.

“Oh, p-l-e-a-s-e!” I retorted, rolling my eyes.

“You don’t have to spell it out.”

One day over lunch, she confessed that the drama in her family was breaking her down. She detailed the sorted tales of relatives and how she often wound up as the punching bag when she was the one who tried so hard to keep peace. This, I know is true. For over 20 years I have watched as she is the one who always scurries to mend rips and tears in order to keep the family as harmonious as possible.

“Finally, I had just had it,” she admitted. “I got into my car, locked the doors

and I started screaming at the top of lungs.”

Then she told me the word she was screaming.

I blinked. Then I blinked again. “What?” I slapped my right ear, trying to unclog it. “I know something is wrong with my hearing.”

She smiled. Then she laughed. “Nope, you heard correctly.”

The grin grew broader.

“And you know what? It felt so good! Something about that word just released all my tension.”

I’m still speechless on that one.

Claudette I have known since I was dressed in cotton dresses while she was sporting dungarees with striped T-shirts and climbing trees. She played baseball with the boys while I played Barbies.

She’s always been tough, stoic in the tradition of the country folks from which she comes.

She is smart, hard working and goes toe-to-toe with any problem that arises.

She never complains. She just dives in and takes care of whatever goes wrong.

But Claudette, like many, has faced enormous chal-

lenges over the past few years. The weight of her problems would have long ago brought down a weaker person. The other day on the phone, she said, “Mom said something to me the other day and I just couldn’t take it. I broke down and started crying.”

“You cried?” I shook my head in astonishment.

“I sure did.”

“First, Grace Ann cusses then you cry,” I said. “Am I living in an episode of ‘The Twilight Zone’?”

Others might judge the state of the world by unemployment numbers, foreclosures and bank failures but not me. I judge it when sane people start acting crazy and crazy acting people start making sense.

I judge it when the strong and the righteous are bending to ways of desperation.

Cussing and crying.

That’s how I judge it.

Gridiron glory without a football bat The old boys were swapping “remember whens ...” on the back porch when the subject turned to the glory days of high school football.

Each chronicled their greatest high school football moment. One intercepted a pass against a hated rival to clinch a victory. One told how he rushed for over 100 yards in a playoff game. Another recounted down-for-down how he squared off against a future pro player. All winced at the recollection of the victory that got away.

Then it was my turn. I offered this, my greatest high school football moment: I was a sophomore in high school. I was 5 feet 8 inches tall, maybe 120 pounds. I had played organized football all of four weeks. I had no idea what the plays were, no idea what they were saying in the huddle, no idea who to hit or how to do it. If someone would have asked me to go find a football bat, I would have scoured the equipment room for hours.

I had watched football on television all my young life, was a big fan indeed. But things look a lot different

Len Robbins viewing them through the bars of an oversized helmet than they do on a 19-inch television screen.

It was the our intrasquad B-team football game, the last one before we started the regular season. Our B-team would go on to outscore its opponents 2096 in six games. Needless to say, I was on the field when those six points were scored.

The score was tied 0-0, a defensive struggle. I was on the sideline, holding my helmet with one hand and my thigh pad in place with the other. Otherwise, it would slip through the 6inch hole in my pants.

My team, the White team, had moved inside the 10-yard-line with less than a minute to go in the fourth quarter. Then we moved down to the 1. There were four seconds left on the clock. We called time-

out. Another tight end was needed. Our coach, who also happened to be my father, told me to go in.

“What do I do?” I asked.

“Don’t jump offsides” was my father’s sage advice.

We got in the huddle. The quarterback said something I didn’t understand.

Had numbers in it, as I recall. We lined up at the goalline, 11 on 11, me on the right end.

The ball was snapped.

Our quarterback handed off to Phil Manley, the fullback. When Phil leaped over the heap, he was hit by about six red jerseys. A pile of 21 bodies converged.

I, on the other hand, had simply stood straight up out of my stance after the ball was snapped, hitting no one. Looking at the sweaty teenage pyramid to my left, I saw the ball pop loose out of Phil’s grasp and tumble over the mountain of red and white, directly in front of my left foot as the buzzer sounded.

“Well, that’s odd,” I thought to myself. “Phil never fumbles.”

My innate athleticism then took over. In one swift, deft motion, I pounced on

the pigskin, nearly knocking my breath out. Nanoseconds later, a sea of inhumanity piled on top of my spindly bones, seemingly crushing my innards. They pawed and scratched and sweated on my grip of the errant oval, but I wouldn’t let loose.

When they peeled me off the ground, ball in tow, helmet askew, through my earhole I saw the sweet signal of outstretched arms – touchdown – coming from that dude who worked at the hardware store.

I was so shocked I couldn’t even come up with a touchdown dance, even though I had been practicing one for weeks. My teammates rejoiced, the losers complained, and I basked in the sweet aura of glory for about 42 seconds.

“I remember that,” said one of the old boys when I finished my pitiful soliliquy. “That wasn’t a touchdown. Phil was down.”

Course set for safer Lake Lanier

By Virgil R. Williams Guest columnist In boating vernacular, “setting a course” means to plot one’s journey before raising the sails in hopes of arriving at one’s destination safely. As the chairman of the board for Islands Management Company, the entity responsible for the operations of Lake Lanier Islands Resort, I feel it is high time we, as a cohesive community, proactively set our course for a safer Lake Sidney Lanier together.

The recent tragedy on the lake that resulted in the senseless and tragic loss of the lives of two young boys should sound a warning signal to all lakeside homeowners, businesses associated Virgil with the lake, visitors to the parks and attractions on the lake, and especially boaters on this beautiful lake we all share.

For the past seven years, Lake Lanier Islands Resort has promoted Lake Sidney Lanier as a safe place for families to play and make happy memories together.

To that end, we have always been fully committed to supporting the sheriffs and police for Hall, Gwinnett and Forsyth counties, in addition to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Rangers in any way possible to educate boaters and improve boating safety on Lake Lanier.

We regularly partner with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office to provide a visible presence on the Islands, clearly communicating that we support their laws, and wish to facilitate a civil, relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere.

We also promote boating safety through our own marina at Harbor Landing and have long advocated the additional use of navigation buoys and channel markers around our shores, and particularly in the vicinity of our busy new Sunset Cove beachside venue.

Our servers and bar staff are trained to rigorously enforce the alcohol laws of the state of Georgia requiring identification for age, in addition to refusing service to intoxicated persons. We are currently adding approximately 160 new boat parking slips and explicit channel markers in the cove to

R. Williams

signage, advertisements, press releases, collateral materials and social media.

We will continue to pursue the employment of navigation buoys and channel markers throughout the waters that surround the Islands, along with any other site safety improvements.

We will extend the LLIDAapproved courtesy dock program already in place at Lake Lanier Islands Resort, which is designed to provide both order and safety for boaters and swimmers alike at the Islands’ recreational areas.

We plan to initiate a designated boat driver program that includes free soft drink products for that person during the day/evening of their visit to the Islands.

We hope to also partner with the U.S. Power Squadron or other similar organizations to develop a boating safety education program, and assist them by providing a place for boating safety training and classes at the resort.

We are initiating an effort that involves an ongoing strategic partnership between Lake Lanier Islands, the Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority, the DNR, the U.S. Corps of Engineers, the Lake Lanier Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Marine Trade Association, The Lake Lanier Association and local law enforcement to ensure a safer lake Lanier for all of our visitors.

Each of these endeavors could go a long way to preventing future boating accidents and tragedies similar to the one the entire Lake Lanier community mourns today. By working together to set our course, I have no doubt we can navigate our way past these troubled waters to arrive at our destination of a much safer Lake Lanier.

That said, all lakeside homeowners, boaters, law enforcement officials, local business owners, and longtime fans of Lake Lanier are invited to submit their own ideas that might aid in the promotion of Boater Safety by e-mail at boatsafe@lakelanierislands.com.

The recent tragedy on the lake that resulted in the senseless and tragic loss of the lives of two young boys should sound a warning signal ... and especially [to] boaters on this beautiful lake we all share. improve boating safety while near our shores, and will encourage overnight boat parking at our community docks for guests who may feel unable to safely drive their boat to their own dock or marina, when necessary and appropriate.

While Lake Lanier Islands Resort cannot solve the ongoing issue of boating safety on all 38,000 surface acres of the lake by itself, we can lead the charge for change by promoting a partnership with all members of the Lake Lanier community to take a hands-on approach to protecting boaters, swimmers and water sports enthusiasts on our waters.

In the coming weeks and months, Lake Lanier Islands Resort along with the board at the Lake Lanier Islands Development Authority will develop further initiatives designed to increase boating safety on our lake. Some of these first proposed solutions include: Lake Lanier Islands Resort and its partners will develop a boater safety” promotional campaign that will be disseminated through

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Mill Creek in 7-on-7 tournament

By LATRICE WILLIAMS lwilliams@clickthepaper.com In football, the offseason is no time for rest and many athletes are not just spending the summer doing average workouts. Players from all over are competing in seven-on-seven tournaments, which are becoming more and more popular among high schools. Flowery Branch High School played host to the tourney that included a field of 16 teams such as Mill Creek, Duluth and Central Gwinnett High School.

Seven-on-seven tournaments are a unique style of football, and they are a little bit more complex than your average game.

The teams are comprised of quarterbacks, wide receivers and a variety of defensive players (linebackers, defensive backs, safeties and corners).

Instead of lining up behind center, a player is lined up opposite of his teammate and tosses the ball to the quarterback, who is given four seconds to release the ball.

Each team is given just 45 yards and three attempts to score. Tackling is prohibited, as touching the ball carrier is considered being ruled down. The extra point is made by scoring from three yards out.

Hi, everyone! My name is Latrice Williams and I am the new sports editor for The Paper of Braselton, Chateau Elan, and Jefferson. I am very excited to be your new source for sports.

I am a recent graduate of Georgia Southern University (go Eagles) and earned a Bachelor of Science in Journalism. I am not sure when my love for sports began but, over the past few years, it has flourished and has become something I am very passionate about.

I spent three years with the George-Anne where I learned many skills that have helped prepare me for my career. I was the beat writer for women’s basketball, women’s soccer, track and field and football. I spent two seasons with Georgia Southern Radio Network as the voice of Inside the Huddle.

In my spare time, I enjoy shopping, attending sporting events -- both as a reporter and spectator, spending time with friends and family, and oh, did I mention shopping?

I am a big fan of the television show Law and Order Special Victims Unit. I get much pleasure from sitting on the couch and watching the marathons.

My favorite sports teams are the Georgia Southern Eagles and the Boston Celtics.

Two words that best describe my personality are social butterfly. If you ever see me at a game or just out and about, please feel free to stop and chat. I love meeting and interacting with people.

I am anticipating a fun year of sports at Mill Creek, Jefferson and Jackson County. Go Hawks, Panthers and Warriors!

World Series champs Justice, Murphy throw out pitches at Coolray Field

By LATRICE WILLIAMS lwilliams@clickthepaper.com Former Braves standout Dave Justice, along with Javy Lopez, Ryan Klesko and Dale Murphy, headlined the All-Star Weekend.

The veterans spent time with fans for a meet-and-greet session where they signed autographs and threw out the first pitch.

Justice spent seven seasons with the Braves after spending three years with the Richmond team

and shared his experience playing Triple-A ball and how it helped prepare him for his major league career.

“I played in Richmond, Virginia, and one of the great things about playing for that team is that we had

a new ball park, so it really did give you a major league type of experience. We sold out a lot of games because we had a really good team.

Our team had a lot of the future Braves that helped turn this organization around. It was the last stop

before the major leagues. I’m just happy it was with Braves. It felt like a first class experience. You know you fly now in Triple-A. We had a beautiful ball park. Richmond,

Gwinnett Braves end 15-game losing streak against Charlotte

By LATRICE WILLIAMS lwilliams@clickthepaper.com

Latrice Williams The Paper

Starting pitcher Yohan Flande earned the Braves 3-2 victory over the Charlotte Knights; below, Hitter Joshua Wilson lines up at bat for the Braves during the 12-inning victory.

Winning in dramatic fashion doesn’t happen too often, but when it does, it calls for a good old-fashioned dog pile.

Players leaped on top and around each other in celebration after ending their 15-game losing skid in game two of the series against the Charlotte Knights.

Down in the bottom of the ninth with one runner on base, Felix Pie delivered the game-winning single that sent Tyler Pastornicky flying around the bases, giving the 6-5 victory.

Pie trains every day to ensure he is ready for moments like this, and he said this one left him speechless.

“It felt like some feeling you can’t explain. Every day I prepare myself. I come to the ball park and try to help my team,” Pie stated.

Twenty-three guys jumping on top of one another sounds painful, but all Pie could do was stand and watch his teammates run at him full speed. With all the adrenaline pumping, he probably didn’t feel a thing.

“I knew everyone was coming,” Pie said.

Braves Manager Dave Brundage opted not to take part in the dog pile and cheered from the dugout. Between fatigue and the emotional rollercoaster, Brundage is ecstatic with the team’s big win.

“I was exhausted. [I’ve] been through a lot the last couple of weeks. [It’s] a good win. It feels absolutely wonderful. I will say there’s not too many times you’re going to go through a 15-game losing streak,” said Brundage. “I don’t wish it upon anybody. I will say that our ball club never gave up from the first day on. For the most part, we had some close ball games, but I think it’s a good way to win and it’s a good way to end everything.”

The losing streak marked the longest in franchise history.

The Braves woes started June 16 against the Columbus Clippers and, from there, everything went downhill. Gwinnett has seen some really close games fall apart, and has witnessed some teams run away with the lead that was too far to catch up. No matter which manner in which they’ve lost, being defeated for that length of time begins to take its toll.

The Braves win won’t earn back their second ranking in International South League. However, they are looking forward to getting back in the driver’s seat but, before coming up with a game plan, Brundage wants to let the win marinate

a little while longer.

“Well, you know, I think we’re just going to enjoy this one right now, and hopefully it carries over,” said Brundage. “I’ve been telling our ball club for the last 10 days, we’ll work on our mistakes and get that monkey off our back.”

In game one, missed opportunities plagued the Braves. Controversial calls by the umpire left some fans wondering if the Braves would have had a different fate in, but Brundage is not playing the blame game. “[In] the last 15 games, I’ve kind of resigned myself to quit finding other reasons why we’re losing ball games and point fingers at something else. I think you learn about your ball club when you go through things like that. I think over the course of the last 15 days...when you start [to] point fingers at the umpires and the bloopers, [you can’t do that],” said Brundage. “We gave up our fair share [in] 15 games. There was frustration but, at the same time, there was a lot to learn.”

Game two was a back-and-forth battle that ended with just what the Braves needed. At the top of the first, the Knights didn’t waste any time getting to work. Charlotte jumped out to a 2-0 lead but the Braves came fighting back with two RBIs

by Pie and Jose Constanza’s score off of a single.

It wasn’t until the bottom of the ninth inning where Pie made one of the biggest plays in his career. The left-handed swinger’s single line drive earned the team the 6-5 win.

It took 12 innings for the Braves to cap off another win, taking the series 2-1. The Braves came out firing on all cylinders with two homeruns and a two-run line drive to give them an early 2-1 lead.

Christian Marrero drew first blood with a single homerun.

The Braves were quiet in the third, but came out with a big bang in the fourth. Tyler Pastornicky hit a double line drive down left field to bring one runner home.

All-Star Ernesto Meija soon followed by hitting his 16th homerun on the year in the fourth, tying the game at two a piece.

Charlotte came back with some offensive power, but Tyler Pastornicky responded in the 12th with the line drive that brought Luis Durango home.

Pastornicky says finishing in a dramatic way is nice and believes his team is going to continue to progress forward. “I think we are going to start playing better and it’s just tough to get yourself out of one of those stretches. I think we’re out of it now and things are about to take off,” Pastornicky said.

Meija, Gearrin selected as All-Stars

By LATRICE WILLIAMS lwilliams@clickthepaper.com

First baseman Ernesto Meija and pitcher Cory Gearrin have been selected to compete in the 25th Annual Triple-A All-Star Game. The game is set for July 11 in Buffalo, N.Y. Some of baseball’s biggest names have competed in the matchup such as Derek Jeter, Chipper Jones and Chase Utley. The duo will each be making their first appearance in event.

Gearrin is in his third season with the Braves and is 3-1 on the year. He was drafted out of Mercer University in 2007 and is the team leader in saves with seven on the season thus far. Gearrin is a strong competitor and a huge force on the mound. However, but is looking forward to taking it easy during the All-Star Game.

“I think it’s a fun event. I think you always want to win when you play baseball. It think you always want to win, even when it’s an exhibition game. But it’s definitely an opportunity to relax with some guys you play against in a fun environment for fans and players alike. I think it’s definitely a relaxing thing - being the all star break, it’s nice to be able to step back from the day-to-day...going out and need to win mentality just to be able to enjoy the game and enjoy the experience,” said Gearrin.

Meija shares Gearrin’s enthusiasm for his All-Star slot.

“I was happy. It’s my first year going to the all-star game [and it] feels good,” said Meija.

Meija is no stranger to success. After signing with the Braves as a free agent in July of 2002, the first baseman has won numerous awards over the past four years that include the VWL Most Valuable Player, SOU Player of the Week and the INT Player of the Week. The Venezu-

ela native is a powerful threat on both sides of the ball. He is among the top batters in the league with 15 homeruns on the year, along with a 54 RBI. Meija shared Gearrin’s enthusiasm for his All-Star slot. Although he’s not sure why he was selected, he does have a few notions.

“I was happy. It’s my first year going to the all-star game and it feels good. I don’t know [why they chose me].

I think it’s my numbers,” he laughed. “I’ve been working hard and Brad Eldridge went to Japan and that was an opportunity [to take his] spot,” said Meija.

Gearrin added that he’s not certain how the selection process goes, but is happy to be part of such an elite group of guys.

“I’m not sure how the voting process goes or anything like that, but I’m definitely honored to be selected whether it’s [by] coaches or staff. It’s one of those things where you try to go out there and do your job. You like to just feel like your consistency and hard work pay off and it feels good that people notice and get to go and represent your club like this,” said Gearrin.

Gearrin shared his excitement with Meija and is looking forward to meeting some of his conference foes as well as support his teammate.

“Yes, I’m excited – it’s my first all star team that I’m able to be a part of. I feel honored to go and represent this team. I get to go and watch Ernie and watch him in the homerun derby. I’m really looking forward to getting to know those guys better. You face them day in and day out throughout the year. [I’m] looking forward to just be able to just relax and enjoy the game. [I’m going to] kind of take in all the festivities. They bring in great speakers for the luncheons and events up there so it’s just going to be a cool experience,” said Gearrin.

ning homerun in the sixth inning.

With 13 seasons under his belt, Justice has experienced the best and worst of times at the plate and gave his advice on how to handle a long season with ups and downs.

“Always take it one game at a time. I think

the minor league season is 140 games. You’re going to have periods where you play well and periods where you don’t play well.

“The only thing you can control is that game that night and that’s what I would tell them. Just focus on that one game,” said Justice.

Latrice Williams The Paper

Mill Creek High School footballers spent some of their off-season playing in a seven-on-seven tournament, which is a unique, more complex style of football.

MILL CREEK from page 1B

Tournament play gives chance to showcase speed The game is high tempo, and because no linemen are involved, players are able to get down the field quicker, highlighting their speed.

Mill Creek Head Coach Shannon Jarvis and the Hawks competed against several different teams, but unfortunately, MCHS didn’t play up to their full potential. Luckily there is plenty of the time left in the summer for the guys to fix their mistakes.

“Today’s been pretty rough. We came back from camp this past weekend and we have gotten better each time but we’ve not done as well as we have this summer. We’ve got two more games to go today, so hopefully we’ll try to get our execution down. In these tournaments you try to win them, but you also try to get take advantage of the situations that are created. “[You try] to stop the third and short plays [and] the goal line plays. That is something we analyze [in]how are we doing in those situations,” said Coach Jarvis.

Linebacker Patrick Dike is a veteran in the tournament and without the big men up front, Dike says he can get right to work.

“This is my third time doing it so I’m used to it. It’s fun. I like the seven on seven. There’s no lineman in the way so you just get to do your thing,” said Dike.

One of the most difficult tasks in playing seven on seven is the lack of protection. All players wear helmets, but the rest of their body is left uncovered. Football pads were first introduced in the 1940’s, a year after the football helmet, and they were only worn by defensive players. Since then they have both been transformed and upgraded, but even with a substantial amount of protection, players are still at risk of an injury.

However, Coach Jarvis keeps a close eye on his player’s safety and says most of the wounds are self-inflicted and playing without pads gives the coaches an opportunity to see which players have what it takes to sustain a few jabs.

“This is my fifteenth year coaching and in the first few years we used to do it without helmets because we felt we could keep the kids toned down a little bit more. In the last 10 years, we’ve done it with helmets.

“I like it better with helmets because it does add that protection. We deal with some shoulder injuries but its more from diving and catching the ball more than it is collision. I think you got to have the helmets. You can tell it’s pretty full speed out there. It can get physical out there which is fine. It lets us see which ones don’t respond well to the contact [respectfully],” said Coach Jarvis.

There is plenty of competition on the schedule for Mill Creek this season, and some of the teams they’ll be contesting against in the fall made their presence known at the tourney.

Whether in between breaks or during the matchup, Dike definitely took some time to scope out the competition.

“Duluth, Norcross, Dacula... it’s a tight region. I’m checking on all of them,” said Dike.

POWER OF LEARNING

Summer science experience connects kids to energy

Science and summer – not two words that kids would say go together but, for the participants in the North Jackson Elementary School-hosted Georgia Power Summer Camp, the mid-June experience was all about hands-on learning.

The four days of Georgia Power’s Learning Power Program was coordinated by Angela B. Haun, Georgia Power Energy Efficiency Education Coordinator – Northeast Region.

“Our program is truly meant to boost interest in all students in all STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) subject matters,” said Haun. “Making the subject ‘fun’ and ‘hands-on’ does seem to boost the students’ interest.”

The camp Haun conducted at North Jackson Elementary was open on a first come, first serve basis to 30 third-, fourthand fifth-graders. The mixture was very evenly spread between male and female and grade level.

Participants made solar ovens and used them for both a craft and a culinary delight. Students made a new, multi-color crayon using broken crayon pieces and also cooked up s’mores.

Master gardener helps bring beauty to father’s outdoors As soon as one pulls into Bentley Assisted Living in Jefferson, bright and cheerful flowers greet each visitor along with freshly cut grass and smiling faces of the residents and staff. The flowers look exquisite — almost as if a team of 20 men worked for days tilling, planting and pruning. However, this is not the case at Bentley because a majority of the colorful flowers were planted with a loving touch.

Farah Sandy Brogdon of Toccoa is a dediBohannon cated visitor to Bentley Assisted Living.

Columnist Her father, Roy Plott, is a resident and she will most likely be found visiting with him or working her green thumb in the gorgeous flower garden. When Sandy began visiting her father, she realized one area of the property needed some tender loving care.

There is a fenced-in area which contains a small, winding walkway, so residents can meander and enjoy the weather when it is nice.

“This area was completely covered in weeds. I wanted it to look nice for the residents when they took walks and

I also had a vision of a flower garden where residents could help plant things as well as pick flowers to take into the building and their individual rooms. I want them to look at flowers, not dirt and weeds,” explained Sandy. She saw incredible potential and made her vision come to life.

Sandy is a Master Gardener and a volunteer at the State Botanical Gardens in Athens. She and her husband have their own farm in Toccoa and love to live sustainably. She tips her hat to her father who gave her the gardening knowledge and passion.

Sandy’s trick to healthy and manageable flowers is to plant perennials and very hardy and sturdy plants. She also plants flowers that recede, which means it is an annual plant that “spits” out seeds into the ground, which leads to new plants in different areas. One example is the “spider plant,” which releases its seeds through a pod and eventually makes a new plant.

There are several different types of flowers thriving in Sandy’s garden. There are cheerful orange and yellow lantana, marigolds, bright and colorful zinnias, one-eyed susans, daisies, petunias, roses, a stray tomato plant and more!

Several of these flowers are plants that the residents grew

up with, so it brings back positive memories and moments from the past.

Sandy loves to include the residents in her planting efforts. She holds a planting session in the early spring and helps them plant their own seeds. Once the flowers bloom and begin thriving, the residents are proud of their hard work and are able to pick the flowers to display.

The colorful flowers give the residents an important job if they planted their own seeds and it is a beautiful area of the property for them to enjoy. The time that Bentley’s staff and visitors take to make the property pleasing to the eye only shows a glimpse of how amazing the residents are treated — with tender loving care.

ENTERTAINMENT

When bridezilla attacks, it is best to defend yourself Dear Margo: My younger sister, “Tammy,” is getting married in August, and she’s turning into a real bridezilla.

I am one of the bridesmaids for the wedding. The drama started when my husband and I announced that we were expecting our first child. My sister accused us of getting pregnant “to ruin her wedding.” She is now upset because people (supposedly) will be paying attention to me and not her at the wedding. (I’ll be six months pregnant.)

Now she has crossed another line. I have been instructed that I am “not allowed” to have a farmer’s tan on the day of the wedding. I ride horses and spend a lot of time in the sun. Even though I apply sunscreen with a high SPF, I still end up with a farmer’s tan every summer. I told my mom Tammy is going to have to deal with it; it is unavoidable, and I’m not going to a tanning salon. Mom says

Dear Margo I’m being terrible, and she doesn’t want bitterness and arguing on the wedding day.

I’d just as soon not be in the wedding, but my sister thinks that would look even worse. Am I being stubborn, or has she crossed the line with her orders about how my body should or should not look on her “special day”? — Had About Enough Dear Had: Your sister’s conspiracy theory that you arranged your pregnancy to pull focus on her wedding day tells me that she is majorly insecure and perhaps does not have the fondest feelings for you. You do not say what the relationship was like before the nuptial

plans, but my guess is not great.

Like pregnancy, a tan is an act of nature and certainly nothing you can undo.

If you want to go the extra mile, I suppose you could put bronzer on the parts of your skin that remain untanned, but that is your call.

I agree that the bride-to-be has delusions regarding what she has a say about, so I would tell her you cannot change the fact of your pregnancy or your exposure to the sun, but you’ll gladly be a guest at the wedding to spare her talk of the pregnant bridesmaid with the tan lines. Invite her to make the call. — Margo, normally Dear Margo: I am a 30something single mother of two. I’ve largely stayed away from the dating scene so I could spend muchneeded time with my kids.

But I recently met someone for whom I’ve fallen head

over heels. Unfortunately, he’s in the military, stationed 4,200 miles away.

He is just wonderful. We can spend three hours on the phone, and it seems like 20 minutes. We both feel the same way about each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together. The hitch is that when he is upset about something, he shuts me out and won’t respond to me for two or three days.

This really wears on me because I never know what’s happened. My mother used to do this to me when I was younger — wouldn’t talk to me for days on end — so this is a real hot button for me. I want this to work, but I don’t know what to do. — Looking for a Workaround Dear Look: How lucky can you get? A guy who pulls the same punitive stunt your mother did! Before you get in deeper, you need to tell your military man that unexplained silences about

WORKING IT OUT

unnamed issues are not in your plans. Whether or not you tell him of your mother, he needs to know that when you’ve said something he finds upsetting, he must discuss it with you ... at the time. If he cannot correct this not inconsequential problem, I don’t see a happy future together. — Margo, directly Dear Margo: I get regular massages from a man who has the hands of a god. He is by far the best massage therapist I’ve ever had. My problem is that he talks too much. He likes to talk about his kids and his ongoing divorce battles. I don’t mind chatting a bit, but it has gotten to the point that I am not enjoying what should be a very pleasurable time. To be fair, I think I promoted his chatting by asking about his family and commenting back. But I really want to stop it now. Can you help me come up with a kind

and gentle way of saying, “Please, let me just relax”?

— Want To Get It My Way Dear Want: Because you made the mistake of making conversation in the first place, he followed your lead. Most masseurs do.

Had you been silent from the get-go, I’m betting he would have taken your cue.

Now it’s up to you to change the routine. I think you can do that gracefully by saying, “Sam, your work is so superior to anyone else’s that I’ve decided to get the full benefit by relaxing and meditating. I’ve decided this is the one place where I can be silent and just feel pampered.” If he’s really dense, repeat your wishes.

SCIENCE CAMP from page 3B

Efficiency tree ‘grew’ energy ideas Does the summer program add credence to the mindset that boys are more math- and science -savvy that girls? Not from Haun’s viewpoint.

“I’m not sure that I have seen a greater interest in girls vs. boys, but they do both show all signs of being completely engaged and excited during Learning Power activities,” said Haun.

“Any and all of the hands-on science experiments appear to get the students excited,” says Haun.

Learning Power focuses more time on career discussion as the student audience gests older and closer to decisions about coursework.

“The strategic focus on careers in energy begins in eighth grade; however, we certainly cover career subject matter in all grades and introduce it well in fifth,” said Haun.

“If only evidenced by the questions that the students pose in the classroom, I would say the Learning Power presentations certainly spark an interest in STEM based and/or energy oriented careers,’ she said.

Tina Brooks, who serves as manager of Georgia Power in Jackson and Barrow, stopped in to observe on one day of the camp’s offering.

“It was very interesting. The children made a solar oven, talked safety

around power lines and a lot more,” said Brooks.

Each day of the camp was themed and included many hands on/interactive activities related to electricity, energy efficiency and/or careers in energy.

“We began each day by meeting one of our ‘Watt Squad’ members and writing an entry in our camp journal,” said Haun. “We ended each day by craft a leaf with an energy-efficient message and adding it to our ‘Learning Power Efficiency Tree’.”

By the week’s end, the tree taught that although individual energy efficient actions may be small, if everyone does several small things, then those efforts add up quickly and can make a significant impact, said Haun.

Does the program provide more reinforcement or education for this age group?

“Well, they all know to turn their lights off. But I always am quick to have them guess what makes up the highest percentage of their power bill . . . it takes them a minute, but they soon guess heating and air conditioning,” said Haun.

“Then we discuss all the ways they can help mom and dad save money there.

“I am continually amazed at how in tune the children are with the concept,

but they certainly walk away with a different perspective, a bit more motivation, and usually some new ideas of how they can make an impact all on their own,” said Haun.

When the group covered Georgia Power and Energy Efficiency 101, they built simple circuits, experimented with insulators and conductors using energy balls, made wet cell batteries and witnessed “Power Town” to learn about safety around electricity. There were also several static electricity experiments using balloons.

The motivation for using energy wisely was inspired by several experiments and discussions.

Participants investigated wind energy by decorating and construct pinwheels and discussed wind research by making an anemometer and viewing a presentation of Georgia Power’s wind research.

By providing the power for a generator, the participants could actively compare the amount of energy needed to light a compact fluorescent light (CFL) versus an incandescent bulb.

Several activities resulted in children acknowledging that they use electricity for a lot of activities every day.

“They learned we are very reliant on electricity,” said Haun.

Participants got involved in crafts to remind about energy efficiency.

“Saving energy is not hard, remembering to do it is the hardest part,” said Haun.
