Dear Reader, Welcome to the new edition of the Official Bulloch County Guide! Our staff has worked hard over several months to provide you with this reference guide that we hope you’ll keep in a handy place for months to come. We appreciate the support of all who have contributed to this project including our local advertisers who appreciate your business most. Whether you are a newcomer or neighbor, the longer you live here the more you’ll like it. I guess you could say it really “grows” on you. I moved here in 2002 with my wife and three sons and Bulloch certainly has grown on all of us. Located a short drive from the Atlantic Ocean, Bulloch County is known for a great climate, championship football teams, award-winning barbecue and even a few musical legends. Bulloch County is a growing, progressive community combining small town charm, rich agricultural heritage with a college town to produce a great place to live, work, play and raise a family. People living here enjoy clean air and water, job and great educational opportunities with excellent schools, churches, restaurants, recreational and cultural activities. Our state-of-the art 911 Center, expanded fire and law enforcement facilities and low crime rate are evidence of the area’s commitment to public safety. Every year, Bulloch County welcomes new residents and new businesses. Our people make up the heart of the community and really set it apart from other South Georgia communities. Many residents who leave here eventually return to stay. Statesboro and all of Bulloch County is a caring and giving community. I urge you to join your neighbors to become involved in ways that fit your lifestyle: play sports, participate in the arts, or volunteer for a nonprofit agency. The more we give, the greater our reward. Sincerely, Jim Healy Operations Manager/Editor
Statesboro
a brief history
By Dr. Delma Presley for Statesboro’s Bicentennial celebration in 2003
Let me tell you about Statesboro. It is not Charleston, for sure — not even Savannah. Some places make you feel ashamed if you don’t have a pedigree. They require you to trace your family back five generations to qualify for the Newcomers’ Club. Thank goodness Statesboro is not that kind of place. Maybe this relaxed attitude springs from the origins of the town. After all, Statesboro was a gift. Bulloch County was formed in 1796. Five years later, it dawned on someone that to be a proper county, Bulloch needed a seat of government. The person who made this observation happened to live in Augusta, but he owned thousands of acres in the middle of the county. George Siebald gave almost 200 acres for the new town in 1801. Two years later, on Dec. 19, 1803, Gov. John Milledge signed into law the legislative act creating Statesborough. They built Statesboro, but nobody came, except when Superior Court opened for session twice a year. Bulloch County begins to grow. Throughout the late 1800s, Bulloch County grew by leaps and bounds. Families lived close to the land and reaped harvests of cotton, corn and vegetables. Livestock flourished. A problem for farmers, however, was their distance from the markets in Savannah and Augusta. By 1880, there were more than 8,000 people in Bulloch County. The population of Statesboro was 25 — about three families. Then, a freshly minted lawyer from Bryan County moved to town, hoping to practice law. He recently had graduated from Mercer College and passed the Georgia bar exam. His name was James Alonzo (Lonnie) Brannen. He noticed there were three houses, but counted only a dozen people. He also noticed something else: dozens of outsiders came to town when court was in session. But they didn’t buy anything. Neither did they sell anything. They conducted their business elsewhere. Lonnie Brannen put his head together with a few other young people — mostly newcomers. You have seen their names all around town: Blitch, Olliff, Lester, Hall, Preetorius and others. They developed a plan to make a real city out of Statesboro. The first step was a big one: hook up Statesboro with the mighty Central of Georgia Railroad. By 1889, glistening lines of steel linked Statesboro to Central’s Dover Station. Now, progress was on track, and the dream of
Statesboro as a hub city began to come true. Another vision shared by the newcomers led to the establishment of what is now Georgia Southern University. Neighboring towns also wanted the First District Agricultural and Mechanical School. But the people of Statesboro put together a negotiating team that would not take “no” for an answer. Doctors, lawyers, the county commission, and City Council traveled with that determined committee of 100 in December 1906. They kept bidding until no one top could theirs — $125,000, including 300 acres and free utilities for 10 years. When the jubilant volunteers returned on the evening of Dec. 6, 2006, the entire town gathered at the train station to celebrate. That was the first Day for Southern. Who is Statesboro? Statesboro is Florence Williams whom Lonnie Brannen appoints as publisher and editor of the city’s first newspaper in 1889 — the Statesboro Eagle. Miss Williams, perhaps, was the first female publisher in Georgia. Statesboro is Professor William James — standing 6-1/2 feet tall, dressed in a business suit — as he mobilizes the white and black communities to build a school for children who never before had an opportunity to learn. Statesboro is Raif Simmons, who cannot write his name but who flawlessly calculates columns of numbers. He proves to farmers they can get a much better deal in the Statesboro market than in Savannah. For every bale of Sea Island Cotton sold in Savannah, Mr. Simmons and other brokers sell 10. Between 1903 and 1908, Statesboro becomes the world’s leading market in Sea Island Cotton (hence, the name of the bank). The spirit of innovation lives on, and we see it in the city’s highly successful regional industrial park with several national industries. The new hospital is a regional hospital. The old A&M School is a regional university, now with more than 20,000 students, a powerhouse in both academics and athletics. And in many ways, the dream of William James lives on in the public school system. Ogeechee Technical College provides a wide range of technical courses and degrees, fulfilling the aspirations of Professor James. In short, Statesboro has become what its first mayor had hoped: a true hub of commercial, industrial, educational and cultural activity in southern Georgia.

area map & facts
The City of Statesboro is a progressive community providing an exceptional quality of life to its residents and offering Southern charm and hospitality to its visitors. Statesboro has a growing economy facilitated by a strong industrial base, a growing university and a regional medical center. This regional economic hub is 15 miles from I-16 and offers many educational and vocational opportunities that provide a competitive advantage for a strong workforce. Education: Bulloch County has three institutions of higher learning: Georgia Southern University, East Georgia State College and Ogeechee Technical College. Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools, GSU offers 124 degree programs at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels. Ogeechee Tech offers 112 programs of study including 33 diploma programs and 60 certificate programs as well as 19 associate degrees. East Georgia State College, based in Swainsboro, has a Statesboro campus on U.S. 301 South. East Georgia offers 21 programs of study and online degrees in general studies, psychology and sociology along with a bachelor’s degree in biology. Bulloch County has 15 district-run public schools, three private schools and one charter school. These schools educate the area’s approximately 10,000 students. Health Care: As the home of East Georgia Regional Medical Center, Statesboro is a regional healthcare leader. With more than 750 employees and 75 physicians representing a wide range of specialties, EGRMC is a JCAHO-accredited 150-bed hospital. East Georgia offers a 24-hour physician-staffed emergency department, a Level II neonatal center, outpatient services including same-day surgery and ambulatory care, a pain center, a cardiac catheterization lab and state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures including MRI and CT. Recreation: Recreational opportunities are plentiful. The Willie McTell Trail is a linear park that provides a pedestrian walk and bicycle path from the GSU campus to downtown Statesboro. The first phase of the S&S Greenway, connecting Gentilly Road to Pretoria Rushing Road, was completed in spring 2012. It is a 2.7-mile trail for bicycles and pedestrians. The entire greenway will connect Statesboro and Brooklet when it is finished. Also located in Statesboro is a family-fun water park and aquatics center, Splash in the Boro.
Nineteen hotels, motels and bed & breakfast inns with 816 rooms are in the greater Statesboro area. Culture: Statesboro’s residents and visitors alike enjoy cultural and performing arts in the Averitt Center for the Arts on East Main Street. The restoration of the Old Bank of Statesboro, originally built in 1911, as a venue for community arts, activities and performances has played a key role in the revitalization of downtown. The Averitt Center, home of the Emma Kelly Theater, is operated by the Statesboro Arts Council and is a vibrant centerpiece in the city’s historic downtown. Two stateof-the arts performing venues, the Performing Arts Center and the Center for Art & Theatre, are located on the Georgia Southern University campus. Transportation: Statesboro is served by Ogeechee Railway Company and numerous common freight carriers. The city and Bulloch County jointly own the Statesboro Municipal Airport, just outside the city limits on U.S. 301 North. Statesboro is 45 minutes from Savannah International Airport, which is served by seven major airlines. Statesboro is about 50 miles from the Savannah ports, while Bulloch County is roughly equidistant from the ports of Charleston, S.C., Beaufort, S.C., Brunswick, Ga., and Jacksonville, Fla., giving several options on ports and sailing frequency. Media: Seven local radio stations serve Statesboro: WVGS-FM (91.9), WHKN-FM (94.9), WPMX-FM (102.9), WZBX-FM (106.5), WMCD-FM (107.3), WPTB-AM (850) and WWNS-AM (1240), and one daily newspaper, the Statesboro Herald. Four television stations in Savannah also regularly cover Statesboro: WSAV (NBC), WTOC (CBS), WJCL (ABC) and WTGS (Fox). Several Savannah-area radio stations also can be heard in Statesboro. Government: The city operates under the council-manager form of government. The mayor is elected at large while the five council members are elected by district. All elections are nonpartisan and the terms are for four years, with half of the members elected every two years. The City Council appoints the city manager to head the administrative functions of city government. Services provided by the city are general government, judicial, public safety and public works.

Bulloch County tax information Tax Commissioner James Deal, an elected official, is responsible for the collection of county (unincorporated areas) property taxes. The tax office, located in the Bulloch County Annex building at 115 N. Main St., also sells vehicle tags and mobile home tags. Bulloch County’s tax rate is one of the lowest in the state of Georgia. Newcomers have 30 days to register their vehicles with the Tag Office. Bulloch County uses a staggered tag renewal schedule. Renewals are due on the vehicle owner’s birthday or within 30 days before that date. The standard tag fee is $20, however specialty tags (vanity, veteran, university, wildlife, etc.) are available for an extra fee. Under a new law, vehicles sold in Georgia since March 1, 2013, no longer will be subject to annual ad valorem tax, or so-called “birthday tax.” But newcomers to the state must pay 50 percent of the newly instituted Title Ad Valorem Tax, or TAVT, within 30 days of moving to Georgia, and the other half within the next 12 months. This applies even if the new Georgia resident paid sales tax in the previous state.The TAVT is 6.5 percent of the estimated value of the vehicle. Ad valorem tax, more commonly known as property tax, is assessed on homes and land and is a large source of revenue for governments in Georgia. The basis for ad valorem taxation is the fair market value of the property, which is established Jan. 1 of each year. The tax is levied on the assessed value of the property which, by law, is established at 40 percent of the fair market value. The amount of tax is determined by the tax rate (mill rate) levied by various entities (one mill is equal to $1 for each $1,000 of assessed value or .001). Property taxes are generally mailed in November and due 60 days later. The current county millage rate is 20.59 mills, which equates to approximately $1,080 in property taxes on a $100,000 home without the homestead exemption. In addition, the county also assesses an additional fire district tax on homes located outside Statesboro’s city limits, but within 5 miles of a fire station. Because the city fire department provides fire protection and services to these home, owners pay slightly higher taxes but receive lower home owner insurance rates. Other taxes currently paid by residents include a sales tax and voter-approved Special Purpose Local Option
Sales Taxes, or SPLOSTs, which are funding capital improvement projects and new school construction. According to the Tax Assessor’s website, the maintenance and operation of Bulloch County public schools uses 46 percent of the tax budget. Fifty one percent of the budget is used for other Bulloch County public services such as the 911 Call Center, Bulloch County EMS Services, rural fire department services, the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Department and Jail, the Correctional Institute and the Bulloch County court system. The Bulloch County Tax Assessor’s Office maintains a searchable website including sales, assessed values, maps and other tax information, at bullochtaxassessors.org.
What services do property taxes support? The Bulloch County 911 Center fields an average of 5,700 calls per month, about half of which need emergency services assistance. For a charge, Bulloch County also answers and dispatches emergency calls for Candler and Evans counties. Bulloch County EMS operates eight ambulances and responds to an average of 500 calls per month, transporting on an average of 445 of those calls. The Bulloch County Fire Department operates 13 volunteer stations, manned by 150 trained volunteer firefighters using 21 engines. The department answers an average of 60 calls per month. The Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office patrols more than 1,200 miles of road, responds to nearly 500 calls per month and provides safety and security for the Bulloch County Court System. The jail has a 400-inmate capacity. The Bulloch County Correctional Institute has the capacity to hold 170 inmates. The institute provides inmates for 47 county work details and provides maintenance for all county vehicles and equipment. The Bulloch County Court System maintains thousands of paper files and records, operates all county civil and criminal court cases and provides marriage licenses, gun permits, birth certificates and more. The Bulloch County Animal Shelter is a last-chance shelter for dogs and cats in need of a home. The shelter is located just off U.S. Highway 301 North, at 81 Mill Creek Road, just outside the Statesboro city limits. New adoptable pets arrive daily.

Schools
in bulloch county BULLOCH COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS Bulloch County Schools (BCS) is the county’s second-largest employer with more than 1300 employees, and its student population is just over 10,000. The school district includes 15 schools and one alternative school, the Transitions Learning Center, all of which are accredited by AdvancEd, formerly the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
Strategic Planning BCS is a system that seeks strong input from the community for strategic planning through its district advisory councils, school councils, parent teacher organizations and its annual Speak Up for Education event. This valuable input helps the school system produce a working strategic plan from which its central office departments and schools can create plans for improvement.
Facilities The district works to provide its faculty with modern classrooms and technology. More than $100 million has been invested in constructing new schools and facilities in past eight years including four new schools (Statesboro High, Julia P. Bryant Elementary, Sallie Zetterower Elementary, and Mattie Lively Elementary). Two of our facilities, Statesboro High School and Southeast Bulloch High School, were recognized by American School & University Magazine as examples of “Outstanding Design.” With school and community input, the school system also has a master plan of athletic and ongoing school facilities projects on which it is working.
and the genuine love that students, parents and personnel have for their individual schools. The school system’s commitment to fine arts, the value placed on human resources, and effective communication are other strengths noted by the accreditation team. Though the student population is now over 10,000, many of our schools are still centered around small, close-knit communities such as Stilson, Brooklet, Nevils and Portal. Investing in community schools as a local value brings a high level of parental, business and industry involvement to the schools.
Financial Management AdvancEd commended the school system on its proactive fiscal planning and actions that have consistently placed the system on a firm financial foundation. The school system’s sound financial management has also been recognized multiple times by Standard & Poor’s (S&P), the nation’s second-leading bond rating firm.
College & Career Readiness College and career readiness is a major component of BCS’s strategic plan. Key initiatives are in place to prepare students across all grade levels (K-12) for college and careers. BCS focuses on student mastery of academic standards, student proficiency, depth of knowledge, skills development, career awareness, career pathways, attendance, and behavior.
Workforce Development
BCS places great emphasis on having highly qualified faculty and staff. The district provides professional development opportunities to ensure quality classroom instruction and helps grow future school administrators through its locally developed Aspiring Leaders program. Its faculty are consistently recognized at both the national, state and regional level for their achievements in education.
Bulloch County is one of two Georgia counties selected by the state to work with Jobs for the Future and the Harvard Graduate School of Education to build a model workforce development system. Bulloch County Schools and its superintendent are leading this initiative. The focus is to develop a work plan to develop strong career pathways for grades 9 – 14 that are supported by regional stakeholders and aligned with local and area labor-market needs. The school system currently provides 17 different career pathways

Community Partnerships
BCS partners with other entities such as the Statesboro-Bulloch Parks and Recreation Department, the Averitt Center for the Arts, the Bulloch County Boys & Girls Club, the Bulloch County Extension Service (4H), and Georgia Southern University, to further the educational, recreational and fine arts opportunities for our students. BCS partners with the SBP&RD to build facilities that serve not only the athletic needs of schools but the community as well. The SBP&RD, the Averitt Center and the Boys & Girls Club all offer excellent afterschool programs for students.

Some of these courses are for career development, while others are offered for the challenge and fulfillment of learning new skills. After winning six national championships in the Football Championship Subdivision, Georgia Southern began competition in the Sun Belt Conference in the 2014-15 season as it moved to the Football Bowl Subdivision. While all other sports were already competing at the highest level that the NCAA has to offer, former GSU football teams competed at the I-AA/FCS level — just a tick down from the titans of the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, etc. Despite being the new kids on the block and still competing with a roster full of players recruited to play at the FCS level, the Eagles made no excuses and got right to work in continuing with their most cherished tradition — winning. Georgia Southern made NCAA history in becoming the first team to go undefeated in conference play in its first year as an FBS program. Of all other teams to make the leap, only one other program had even managed to tie for a conference championship in its first season. With a win over Louisiana-Monroe in the season finale last November, the Eagles claimed the outright Sun Belt championship. Eagle football games are charged with excitement, and game day at Georgia Southern is an event embraced by not only Statesboro and Bulloch County, but a large portion of southeast Georgia. Georgia Southern flags and Eagle-head logos dot the landscape as the community and fans show their support. Tailgating begins hours before kickoff, and Allen E. Paulson Stadium comes alive with excitement as the Eagles take the field. Georgia Southern is a vibrant, growing institution that touches hundreds of thousands of lives each year.

Ogeechee
technical college The Georgia General Assembly approved the establishment of Ogeechee Technical Institute as a public, two-year technical institute under the supervision of the Department of Technical and Adult Education in 1986. Groundbreaking for the campus occurred two years later, and during the following year, Ogeechee Tech began offering its first credit program, practical nursing, with 25 students enrolled. Ogeechee Tech assumed the responsibility for offering adult literacy programs and administering the General Educational Development examination in 1989. Faculty and staff moved into the new 75,000-square-foot, $6 million state-of-the-art facility in fall of 1990, and additional program offerings began in spring quarter 1991. Ogeechee Tech graduated its first class of nine practical nursing students in December 1990. The opening of Ogeechee Tech coincided with the explosive growth of Georgia Southern University and the Statesboro area. In addition, the establishment of the Georgia Lottery-funded Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally, or HOPE, financial aid program in 1993 was a contributing factor in the unprecedented growth of Ogeechee Tech. In 1998, DTAE renamed the Commissioner’s Award of Excellence the Rick Perkins Award for Excellence in Technical Instruction in memory and honor of the 1996 Commissioner’s Award of Excellence winner, Thomas Rick Perkins, from Carroll Technical Institute. The award recognizes instructors who make significant contributions to technical education through instructional excellence, outstanding leadership qualities and dedication to DTAE’s mission. In 1999, John Groover represented Ogeechee Tech as the winner of the Rick Perkins Award for Excellence in Technical Instruction for the state of Georgia. Ogeechee Tech experienced a $5.5 million expansion by adding three buildings — a Health Sciences Building, a Child Enrichment Center and a Horticulture Building in 1999. During this time, Ogeechee Tech also increased its services through the opening of the Screven County Learning Center in Sylvania, Ga. Ogeechee Tech offered its first Associate of Applied Technology degree program in industrial manufacturing technology in winter quarter 2000, with eight students enrolled, and in the following academic year offered AAT degrees in accounting, computer informa-
tion systems, early childhood care and education, funeral service education, health information technology, healthcare management technology, marketing management, opticianry and secretarial science. House Bill 1187, known as the A+ Education Reform Act, enacted in 2000, changed the names of technical institutes in Georgia to technical colleges. On July 6 of that year, Ogeechee Tech officially became Ogeechee Technical College. OTC awarded its

Ogeechee
technical college first AAT degree in December 2000 in early childhood care and education. During summer 2002, Ogeechee Tech opened the Evans County Learning Center. Student growth continued over the years at OTC largely because of the addition of new programs, many of which are unique to the Department of Technical and Adult Education, the state and the region. These distinctive programs included certificates, diplomas and degrees in technical areas such as funeral service education, forensic science technology and opticianry. With the opening of the Occupational Studies Building in fall 2003, a wider variety of programs, such as agribusiness, wildlife and plantation management, Geographical Information Systems Technology, veterinary technology, culinary arts and hotel, restaurant and tourism management, enabled the college to further expand its offerings. In 2004, OTC paid tribute to the late Sen. Joseph E. Kennedy for his role in the establishment of Ogeechee Tech by dedicating the main building on campus as the Joseph E. Kennedy Building. During the summer of 2007, Ogeechee Tech moved the adult education program to the Bulloch County Workforce Development Center in downtown Statesboro. On May 13, 2008, Gov. Sonny Perdue signed legislation that officially changed the name of the Department of Technical and Adult Education. Effective July 1, 2008, the system became known as the Technical College System of Georgia. Perdue also served as the keynote speaker for the 2008 Spring Commencement at OTC. Shortly thereafter, Laura “Molly” Bickerton, a student in the college’s radiologic technology program, was selected as Georgia’s technical college Student of the Year in the 37th annual Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership competition. In July 2008, OTC was awarded a Regional Law Enforcement Academy in Claxton, Ga. The project, which involved five other technical colleges, allowed new law enforcement officers to receive their basic law enforcement training at a state technical college and obtain college credit at the same time. Nearby, in Hagan, Ga., OTC began construction of the Evans Technical Education Complex. The new complex included the Logistics and Public Safety Building, the Commercial Trucking Preventive Maintenance facility, a driving track for the commercial trucking program and an emergency vehicle operators track for the 26 • Bulloch County Guide 2015
Regional Law Enforcement Academy. Toward the end of 2008, amid a downturn in the economy, a reduction in state funds and rising gas prices, OTC joined other technical colleges in the state to institute a four-day work week. The move reduced the cost of utilities without reducing any services to students. Another big change came at the beginning of 2009 when an Emergency Mass Notification System for faculty, staff and students was implemented. The new OTC-Alert system provided a way to send emergency warnings via cellphone and email messages. Despite a challenging economy, good things continued to happen at Ogeechee Tech. Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel was the keynote speaker at the 2009 commencement exercises and, in an effort to offer better services to the students, Ogeechee Tech moved the adult education program to a new location adjacent to the main campus. In fall 2010, Perdue returned to campus to speak at a ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Health Science Building-North. In 2011, amid changes to the HOPE Scholarship, transitioning from quarters to semesters, moving to a tobacco-free campus and challenging economic times, Ogeechee Tech once again celebrated having the Technical College System of Georgia’s star student, as local GOAL winner Alvie Coes III, a funeral service education student, was named the state GOAL winner. Another accolade was announced when OTC was named the 2011 Technical College of the Year for the State of Georgia. The award is determined by meeting benchmarks in a variety of critical areas, and Ogeechee Tech earned the top spot over all the other colleges in the state system. A continuing effort to provide new and needed programs of study keeps Ogeechee Tech in the forefront of meeting the educational demands of citizens in this part of Georgia. Enrollment growth of 10.3 percent from 2010 to 2011 and 4,470 students attending classes have proved repeatedly that the demand for Ogeechee Tech’s services is stronger than ever. With credit programs, continuing education, GED and literacy programs and various other services, the college’s commitment to meet the needs of the region continues. In response to enrollment growth and program needs, the college began classes in the new state-ofthe-art Health Science-North Building in January 2013.

Real Estate
in bulloch county Finding the Right Agent For many people, buying or selling a home is the biggest purchase or sale they will ever make. It’s no surprise, then, that most choose to involve a real estate agent in the process. With such important decisions at hand, it helps to involve a professional with experience in buying and selling homes. But with so many agents out there, it’s not always easy choosing the right one. So, how to decide? The process often depends on the individuals doing the buying or selling.
Do you really need a broker? Yes. Real estate agents work on commissions, which are typically in the neighborhood of 5 percent. If you’re selling your home for $300,000, the standard commission would be $15,000 on that sale. Naturally, a person looking to save money might be apprehensive about the commission. But ultimately, a real estate agent can help you save money in the long run. Agents have an intimate knowledge of the market and the industry. They also know your competition, the going prices in neighborhoods and the intricacies of the home-selling process. By putting a qualified agent on your team, in addition to doing your own research through the local newspaper’s real estate section, you could get more money for your house.
How do you know if you’ve found the right agent? If you’ve decided to enlist the services of an agent but don’t have one yet, finding the right one takes a little work. • Flexibility: As mentioned, involving an agent will mean you’ll have to pay a commission. A commission should always be flexible. A fixed commission isn’t legal, so if the agent says all homes sold net a 5 percent commission, tell him or her you know otherwise, and look for another agent. In general, the more expensive an area is to live, the less the commission will be. More expensive neighborhoods should result in lower commissions, while less expensive areas will more than likely lean toward a higher commission. • Reputation: Lots of people like to move closer to friends and family. Ask friends and family if they can recommend a real estate agent. If they can, this can be a 32 • Bulloch County Guide 2015
quick way to find one, though it should be noted that you’ll benefit if you make yourself the center of a competition between agents. (You’re more likely to lower the commission if you do.) Obviously, avoid those who have negative reputations. • Experience: How much experience an agent has is very important. Ideally, you’d like one who is established in the area where you want to live. Such an agent will have an extensive knowledge of the neighborhoods, knowing the pricing history of homes bought and sold and likely what life is like in the neighborhood. Ask for a recent transaction history of homes they’ve sold. Additionally, check with the local government to see if any complaints have been filed in recent years. • Trust your gut: Always be wary of agents who are trying to make a home into something it’s not. If he or she is rambling on and on about renovating a home, the home’s probably not a worthwhile investment. A real estate agent shouldn’t have to sell you on a home, but rather help you find the right one.
What is a Realtor? Not all real estate agents are Realtors. Realtor is a registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the National Association of Realtors and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. A Realtor may be able to provide you a different level of service. Go to statesboro.realestatetoday-ga.com for more information.

A lot of history has happened since Queensborough was founded in 1902 as First National Bank and Trust in Louisville, Georgia. The 19th century had just ended. It was a bold move to start an independent bank to serve a small farming community. Our promise was “great service and uncomplicated banking.” Over a century later those values still hold. We’ve changed our name but never our promise.

Georgia southern cultural attractions Museum Packed with fun, the Georgia Southern Museum offers visitors a chance to learn more about this unique region of Georgia, the Coastal Plain. The museum’s collections and exhibits tell the story of evolving environments, animals, and cultures that have called it home over the past 100 million years. It is located on Sweetheart Circle on the Georgia Southern campus. The museum presents a variety of changing exhibits throughout the year in the museum and at locations around campus and in town. The changing presentations feature dynamic and interactive exhibits based on the work and research of the university’s faculty and students. These exhibits bring the world to visitors and encompass opportunities for them to learn about history, archaeology, science, business, health or any number of fascinating subjects. Additionally, the rediscovery of the incredibly well preserved Confederate Prisoner of War camp, Camp Lawton, by Georgia Southern University archaeology students is uncovering a history thought lost. The museum offers programs to appeal to children, adults, families and teachers with hands-on programs for K-12 school groups. The activities allow children to explore the museum’s natural and cultural history collection and changing exhibits. Admission is $2 per person, and free for children 3 and younger. Museum members and Georgia Southern students are admitted at no charge. On the last Saturday of each month, entrance is free for all visitors. Permanent exhibits take you back 100 million years to a time when mosasaurs, large marine reptiles, prowled the oceans that covered most of southern Georgia.
Children can crawl under the mosasaur and look through a viewing bubble right into the middle of the rib cage. The museum is also home to the Georgiacetus vogtlensis, one of the oldest and most primitive ancient whales discovered in North America. The 40-millionyear-old Vogtle Whale was excavated from Burke County, Georgia. For more information, visit the museum’s website at www.georgiasouthern.edu/museum.

Kiwanis Rodeo “It’s bulls and blood, it’s dust and mud, it’s the roar of the hungry crowd. The white in the knuckles, the gold in the buckles, the win the next go round….” Garth Brooks knew what he was talking about. The first Kiwanis Rodeo took place in April 2010. The event was a complete success with sellout crowds the entire weekend. The now-annual spring event features bronc busting, barrel racing, bull riding and more. Rodeo clowns entice the crowd to roar with laughter and vendors serve up hot, tasty food as well as offer hats, belts and other Western accessories.

Brooklet Peanut Festival
Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair
Each August, the town of Brooklet goes a little nuts. Why? The peanut harvest is in. On Saturday, August 15, 2015, it’ll be worth your while to take a 10-minute ride down U.S. Highway 80 East to enjoy the annual Peanut Festival. Beginning with a morning parade, the celebration includes a street dance, a slow tractor race and a kiddie pedal tractor race. The focus is on peanuts, of course, but this celebration of agriculture brings fun and frolic to the community. Peanuts can be had in any way imaginable, including in baked goods, boiled, roasted or fried. Vendors hawk their wares, including a variety of foods, toys, jewelry and novelty items, while various musical groups and soloists entertain the crowd. Cloggers and other performers provide amusement as well, and many folks come to the festival just for the slow tractor race. This “race” is more of a display, with antique tractor lovers competing to see just how slow they can go without their ancient treasures shutting down. The night ends with a street dance for all ages.
Each October the smell of cotton candy and funnel cakes tickle your nose, sparkling, multicolored lights are on the eastern horizon, and laughter fills the air. The fair is in town.

The facility features several pool areas, including an 800-foot lazy river, three slides and an Olympic-size pool.

State Parks Bulloch County has two great state parks within easy driving distance. George L. Smith State Park near Twin City in Emanuel County is rustic and beautiful, with a 412-acre mill pond and 10 miles of canoe trails. Hiking trails take walkers through south Georgia woodlands, where they can explore local flora and fauna, then come back to a lakeside campsite or a cabin. The refurbished Parrish Mill, built in 1880, is a focal point for visitors who enjoy the covered bridge over the dam. The 1,634 acre park boasts 25 tent, trailer and RV sites as well as four rental cottages, picnic shelters, a group shelter and playground facilities. Magnolia Springs State Park near Millen in Jenkins County is home to crystal clear springs and is a popular destination for visitors but was once the site of Camp Lawton, a Confederate prison built in 1864. The stockades and guard towers have been replaced with beautiful scenery, but visitors still can see the earthen breastworks and imagine the prison site. The natural springs produce 7 million gallons of water daily, and visitors can enjoy the view from several wooden platforms stretched across the pools. Storyboards scattered around provide historical and educational information about the springs.

Hunting and Fishing Fishing enthusiasts think they are in paradise when looking for a fishing hole in Bulloch County. Anyone with a fishing license can fish legally along the banks of public rivers or tributaries such as the Ogeechee River, Mill Creek, Little Lotts Creek, Upper Lotts Creek and Lower Lotts Creek. Put a boat in at one of the Ogeechee River’s many landings and enjoy the scenery as you fish. Just make sure you aren’t on private property. Bulloch has many lakes and ponds, and many owners will give permission to fish — as long as you ask first and respect the land. Lake Collins, also known as DeLoach’s Lake, is west of Portal and borders Candler County. The blackwater lake is fed by a creek and is home to otter, beaver, alligators and more. The lake is privately owned, but land owners and guests have fishing rights. Cypress Lake, in Southern Bulloch County near Register offers picturesque scenery, plenty of water and pole-bending fish — but most of the lake is private property. Oglesby’s Pond feeds Lake Collins, northeast of Portal. Another popular fishing spot is Simmons Pond off GA Hwy. 46 in the Nevils-Bay Gall area. Fishing rights memberships are available here. Bulloch County is full of wildlife, but written permission from a landowner must be obtained prior to hunting on private property. Nearby state-owned wildlife management areas such as Tuckahoe in Screven County offer hunting to licensed citizens. Hunting & fishing licenses are available at several local retailers county-wide.
Area Golf Courses If golf is your game, you have some options to choose from locally. The private course at Forest Heights Country Club on Country Club Road has an 18-hole course, pro shop, driving range and a practice green. It’s also the home of the Schenkel Invitational, one of college golf’s premier events. Georgia Southern Golf Course opened to the public in 2013. It’s located off of Golf Club Road about five miles outside of Statesboro. Students can schedule a tee time using their Eagle ID. Hackers Golf Park, ranked as one of the nation’s top 100 driving ranges, has a little bit of everything, including a lighted driving range, practice green and pro shop as well as a fun miniature golf course. If golf’s not your thing, grab a helmet and take a whack in the batting cages. It’s at Old Register Road just off the Highway 301 bypass.

& r ecreation Willie McTell Trail
S&S Greenway
The Willie McTell Trail is one of the nicest paths to walk, jog or bike in Statesboro and is a convenient way to get from downtown to the Georgia Southern campus. Just longer than a mile, the trail stretches from Triangle Park on East Main Street to the northeast corner of campus on Fair Road. The smooth, wide path is lighted, landscaped and offers bike racks at both ends. One of the most interesting aspects of the trail is the benches. Created by Georgia Southern students using metal, wood and other materials, these unique pieces fuse art with function. The trail is named for the legendary blues guitarist Blind Willie McTell. A Statesboro native probably best known for his song “Statesboro Blues,” McTell gained a reputation as one of the best blues artists in the country, even earning praise from Bob Dylan. Check out the trail for a nice stroll outdoors.
The Bulloch Greenway Partnership is committed to the development of a network of greenways that will provide Bulloch County residents with convenient access to opportunities for walking, jogging and biking. The partnership envisions a network of greenway trails connecting different areas of the community, educating residents about the environment and providing alternative transportation opportunities in Bulloch County. The first phase of the S&S Greenway is a newly constructed asphalt trail that connects Gentilly Road to Veterans Memorial Parkway near the Statesboro Crossing shopping center. Eventually, this trail will lead to Brooklet, a community approximately 10 miles from Statesboro. The Greenway Partnership members include the Bulloch Greenway Steering Committee, the StatesboroBulloch County Parks & Recreation Department, Georgia Southern University and area government agencies and businesses.

Statesboro hospital
East Georgia Regional Medical Center Built in July 2000, East Georgia Regional Medical Center is a four-level, 149-bed, acute-care hos-
pital featuring a Women’s Pavilion, an adjacent medical office building and an outpatient diagnostic imaging center. The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, a distinction awarded only to those healthcare facilities that maintain the highest standards of quality. It recently was named to the Georgia Hospital Association’s Partnership for Health and Accountability Core Measures Honor Roll. East Georgia Regional Medical Center’s health care team consists of approximately 650 employees and over 100 physicians representing a wide range of specialties. The expansion of medical services and professionals, along with a major investment in technology, has firmly established EGRMC’s reputation for providing a higher medical standard. The medical center offers a 24-hour physician-staffed emergency department, a Level II neonatal center, outpatient services including same-day surgery and ambulatory care, a sleep center, a pain management center, a wound care clinic, a cardiac catheterization lab, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation (PT, OT and ST) and state-ofthe-art diagnostic imaging equipment including a new 64-slice low-dose CT machine and a new 3D digital mammography machine. EGRMC also recently updated • Ambulatory Care • Anesthesiology • Breast Surgery • Cardiology • Community Education • DaVinci Robotic Surgery • Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology • Emergency Medicine • Electrophysiology • Gastroenterology • General Surgery • Internal Medicine
its interventional radiology/vascular suite to top-of-theline equipment. The hospital is also home to the only robotic surgical system in the area, which allows faster and less painful recovery time for qualifying patients. In spring 2010, East Georgia Regional expanded its service line to include Interventional Cardiology. The expansion of the Cardiology program has allowed patients needing Angioplasty and/or stent placement to receive the highest quality care without leaving Statesboro. Each month, the Surgical Services department performs more than 1,000 surgeries, and the Emergency Department treats more than 3,300 patients. The Women’s Pavilion provides dedicated services to women of all ages and includes eight delivery rooms and 21 private recovery suites. More than 120 babies are born in the Women’s Pavilion each month. In 2013, the Georgia Southern Athletic Foundation joined the hospital to supply all babies born at the Women’s Pavilion with a Georgia Southern University blanket.

Agriculture
is business Going organic
Healthy Hollow Farms in Stilson held its first organic peanut field day in 2014 with one primary goal: to educate local farmers on the benefits of organic farming. Owners James “Jimmy” and Connie Hayes, members of Coastal Organic Growers, invited other farmers to come to Healthy Hollow Farms to learn more about organic farming and issues farmers in the area are facing. “We just wanted to show people that it could be done and try to tell them the hazards along the way and the problems with doing it but it can be done,” Jimmy Hayes said. “It’s a viable opportunity for some of them on a smaller scale. You can’t compete with the big boys today, I don’t think. It would be hard to keep up with them. But on a smaller scale, we can do what we are doing.” Those who attended the field day were members of the Coastal Organic Growers organization. “We are all members of Coastal Organic and most of us are organic or working towards to being organic,” Connie Hayes said. “We decided to pull together and do something to benefit Coastal Organic Growers. Both groups (Georgia Organics and Coastal Organic Growers) are about education and teaching people how to farm organically and how to eat organically.” Local farmers were able to visit the farm to ask questions about the different plants, future outcomes and obstacles they are facing on their own farms. Two experts, Dr. Carroll Johnson and Dr. Albert Culbreath, with the University of Georgia in Tifton, were available to cover topics important to farmers. Johnson spoke to the local farmers about how different types of weeds can affect their crops. Johnson has worked with Hayes on the techniques and challenges that come with organic farming. “Organic crop production is a fairly new concept in the Southeast. For one reason is, it’s very difficult to do because of the environment we live in,” Johnson said. “But we’re trying to press upon the general public and other sections of agriculture that organic crop production is a legitimate agricultural enterprise, and we are trying to inform everyone that this can be done and trying to generate some additional interest.” 74 • Bulloch County Guide 2015

RIGHT: Anna Currey, left, and Relinda Walker of Walker Farms makes themselves comfortable on a tractor at Healthy Hollow Farm.
Johnson said these types of community events benefit not just the participants, but the hosts are able to learn more as well. Everyone involved learn more about their environment and problems they deal with on a daily basis. Healthy Hollow has been in the Hayes family since 1949. It was not until 2007 that the farm became a certified organic farm after his wife had a “chemical overload,” Jimmy Hayes said. The Hayeses hope event will not only help their peers with current issues but also help others consider organic farming more. “It’s healthier for you,” Hayes said. “Basically, it’s what it boils down to, is this. When you’re away from the chemicals, you have a healthier crop and you’re healthier.”
Agriculture is business
2014 Farmer of the Year Jimmy Skrine was a man of few words. The Portal-area farmer just quietly, humbly grew his crops — cotton, soybeans, peanuts, wheat and beef cattle — nurtured them and harvested them each and every year, as he had for more than 60 years. In November 2014, the Statesboro-Bulloch Chamber of Commerce’s Agribusiness Committee named Skrine the 2014 Farmer of the Year during the annual Farm City Luncheon at the Bulloch County Center for Agriculture. Skrine Farms, which he ran since 1961, is more than 1,700 acres when combined with the portion his son oversees, on Portal-Metter Highway just outside the Portal city limits. Skrine passed away in May 2015 at age 73. “I enjoy the outdoors,” he said after the ceremony, describing mornings when he would put on his shoes on the back porch, watching the sun rise and mockingbird and quail that frequent the farm. “I just love being outside. I love the land, I love to see things grow. It makes me feel relaxed and that I am accomplishing something.” Skrine was just a 10th-grade student when he dropped out of school to work on the family farm, located just a short distance from the Portal city limits on Portal-Metter Highway. The Skrines also lease crop land in other areas around Portal. His father was a sharecropper when he suffered a stroke, and Skrine jumped in to take over for the

His family received the Farmer of the Year award during the 2014 Statesboro Bulloch Chamber of Commerce Agribusiness Committee luncheon at the Bulloch County Center for Agriculture. family. He dropped out of school “and I just never went back,” he said. A few years later, at age 19, “I went out on my own,” he said, continuing a life he had grown to love. “I’ve been blessed ever since.” “It means the world to me and my family,” Skrine said of the award. The Skrines are well-established members of the Portal community.
Farming in the South Agriculture is big business in Bulloch County, which is the No. 1 row-crop county in the state. The area offers many farming sectors, including livestock, berries, cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat and Southern pine. You can stroll through the pumpkin patches and strawberry fields or see grits being milled before your eyes at one of the area’s many visitor-friendly farms. If you prefer, you can participate in an agricultural farm tour. Many are offered throughout the year. You can choose from many different types of agricultural experiences:
• row crops, such as corn, berries and cotton • pick your own produce • tour Vidalia onion farms • visit Meinhardt Vineyards & Winery • tour Braswell Food Plant, which specializes in local jams, sauces and other items • tour grist mill • tour peanut farms and processing facilities • tour organic farms For more information about farm tours, contact the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau at (912) 489-1869.

Hearts and Hands Clinic In its fourth year of operation, the clinic continues to provide more services to low-income Bulloch County residents who lack adequate health insurance. After being founded in Son’s Light Fellowship Baptist Church on U.S. Highway 301 South, it moved to its own space, a building at 127 N. College St. in downtown Statesboro. Hearts and Hands provides basic health screenings and dental services for people in need of serious work. And, thanks to a nearly $25,000 grant it received this year from Susan G. Komen for the Cure Coastal Georgia, the clinic now can provide mammograms. Komen Coastal Georgia is based in Savannah and serves nine counties, including Bulloch, Bryan and Effingham. Bulloch County had the second-highest mortality rate attributed to cancer between 2003 and 2007 in the agency’s service area, according to data compiled by the state in 2010. Between 2003 and 2007, 36 women died of cancer, and 155 cases were diagnosed. For more information about Hearts and Hands and to volunteer, call (912) 681-9519.
Open Hearts Community Mission Community and business leaders gathered with members of the Open Hearts Community Mission’s board of directors in February 2015 to break ground on the property at 39 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, where the Statesboro’s first homeless shelter will be built. The shelter’s mission is not simply to provide for the 76 • Bulloch County Guide 2015
basic needs of the homeless, but to help them get back on their feet. Already, Open Hearts has been doing that by temporarily housing people in need in motels and helping them apply for jobs and otherwise addressing their immediate needs so they can change their circumstances. Those services also include programs to help people obtain their GED diplomas, determine their career skills and get matched with jobs suited for their abilities. The mission, founded three years ago, has served more than 400 people in need. Once it’s open, perhaps as early as the end of 2015, the shelter is expected to be able to host up to 30 people at a time. There will be separate wings for men and women along with two family rooms for parents with children.
Adopt a Homeless Pet Bulloch County Animal Shelter Hundreds of animals needing good homes are brought to the Bulloch County Animal Shelter each year. They are available for adoption for a small fee and the cost of a rabies shot and spay or neutering. The shelter is located just off U.S. Highway 301 North and is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10–5 p.m. and Tuesday and Friday from noon–5 p.m. Learn more at bullochcounty.net.
The Humane Society The Humane Society is a nonprofit charitable animal welfare organization with a goal to end the need for euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals in Bulloch County. The Humane Society of Statesboro and Bulloch County meets on the first Monday of the month at 7 p.m. at St. Matthew’s Roman Catholic Church on Gentilly Road. Learn more at statesborohumane.org

Augusta, Georgia Augusta was named in honor of Augusta, Princess of Wales, daughter-in-law of King George II of Great Britain and mother of King George III of Great Britain, and was the second state capital of Georgia from 1785 until 1795 (alternating for a period with Savannah, the first. Augusta is located on the Georgia/South Carolina border, about 150 miles east of Atlanta. It is the secondlargest city and second largest metropolitan area in the state. Augusta is the birthplace of the Southern Baptist denomination, and the location of Springfield Baptist Church, the oldest autonomous African-American Baptist church in the nation. Morehouse College was founded in the basement of the church. AfricanAmerican history is honored at the Lucy Craft Laney museum. Various religious denominations have erected churches in downtown Augusta that are now historical landmarks such as Saint Paul’s Church and Sacred Heart Cultural Center. Built in 1914, the Butt Memorial Bridge was placed in memory of Archibald Butt. It was the first memorial in the world to the RMS Titanic, and is the only such memorial in Georgia. Augusta’s official nickname is The Garden City. It is also known as Masters City, because it plays host to the Masters Golf Tournament. In hip-hop circles, the city is referred to as “The A.U.G.” The city adopted the motto, “We Feel Good,” in recognition of native son and soul music legend James Brown. The city also dedicated a statue to James Brown, which is located downtown at the Augusta Common. Augusta also has a well-established arts community. Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art, Morris Museum of Art, Artists Row and the Art Council are just a few in the art community. The Augusta Symphony, Augusta Choral Society, Augusta Players and the Augusta Ballet also perform for audiences. Each fall, the city hosts the Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival downtown and Westobou Festival — two major arts showcases. Augusta’s downtown culture has also blossomed in the past decade, allowing many new businesses to open and flourish within the city. Broad Street in downtown Augusta is host to many different bars and music clubs that have enjoyed a period of prosperity since the institution of First Friday, which is celebrated on the first Friday night of each month.

like in nature and has helped many of the businesses rake in more profits since its institution over a decade ago. The Savannah River is a crucial part of Augusta’s founding and history. Visitors can walk along the Savannah River on the Augusta Riverwalk in downtown. The Augusta Marina rents boats for a fun day on the river, and tourists can ride along the Augusta Canal, which was built in 1845 as a power source, in a Petersburg boat.
