County’s new judicial
center taking shape
By DONALD FRASER
Design of the proposed judicial center,
to be built on the 12-acre former North
Habersham High School site on Llewellyn
Street in Clarkesville, is being fi rmed up.
The Habersham County Commission released sketches Nov. 22 of the building’s exterior, which has received approval of the
judicial center steering committee.
The committee is comprised mostly of
county employees who will be using the
building, including judges from various
courts, the clerk of court and the sheriff’s
office, as well as county administration.
There are also several representatives
from the general public.
The design committee has approved the
exterior building concept, said Habersham
County Commission Chair Sonny James
Nov. 21. Members of the committee are still
fi rming details on interior design, James
said.
“The total group looked at the design of
the building’s exterior,” said County Manager Janeann Allison. Interior design is
focused on function, and consequently design and layout has been the focus of employees which will be using the building,
Allison said.
“I’m pretty pleased with the fi nal design,” said John Closs, a citizen representative on the committee. “I think the entrance [the tower] is kind of grand. I think

Annabelle Jackson, 5, Angela Jackson, both of Baldwin, and Savonda Martin of Toccoa admire the Christmas wreaths at the
Blue Willow Floral booth at the Habersham Chamber of Commerce’s Razzle Dazzle Bazaar held Nov. 19 at the Ruby Fulbright
Aquatic Center. This was the 11th year of the bazaar, said Habersham Chamber President Judy Taylor. The day included breakfast
and photos with Santa, crafts, holiday treats and a train ride on the Santa Express. This year, there were more than 80 vendor
booths and almost 1,500 attendees, Taylor said.
For the second year, The Northeast Georgian is publishing a list and photos of registered sex offenders living in Habersham County.
The registry of Habersham County sex offenders
is available through the Habersham County Sheriff’s
Office website, habershamsheriff.com, by clicking the
link on the left-hand side of the page. But we are providing the names and faces in print to promote awareness and safety in our community.
Each offender’s current address and original charge
are listed along with his or her name and photo on Pages 8-9A.
Investigator Wesley Welborn of the HCSO’s Criminal Investigations Division heads up the Sexual Predator/Offender Tracking (SPOT) Unit, and is in charge of
tracking offenders who attempt to abscond from probation or to live/work in an area where they are prohibited by law from doing so.
“The role of the Sheriff’s Office with the sex offender registry is just to put that awareness out there,” he
said. “It is to let people know where in the community
offenders do live.”
Welborn said if anyone has any questions about the
registry or a particular offender, they can contact him
through the Investigations Division at 706-839-1724.
Animal shelter partnership
finds home for 200th dog
By JONATHAN ARENA
The Habersham County Animal Care
and Control department recently transported its 200th dog to Tailwaggers 911, a dog rescue based in
Saukville, Wis. HCACC volunteers took a shipment of
45 dogs up to Wisconsin
on a three-day road trip
Veterans Day weekend.
HCACC works with
Tailwaggers 911 to get
dogs to the rescue about
every two months, and
the rescue fi nds homes
for them there. The rescue
already has adopted out 15
of the dogs from the most recent load.
“We move,” said Dawn Boeselager,
who runs the rescue. “But we’re unique
– we start posting [the dogs] weeks in advance of the transport.”
Madi Hawkins, an animal control officer with HCACC, said they have built
a great relationship with Tailwaggers
911 over the past year. “About a month
before we make a trip, we start selecting
the dogs,” she said. “[Boeselager] puts
them onto her website, and from there
she fi nds adoptive homes.”
Many times, Hawkins said, the dogs
“get straight off the bus and go straight
into a home.”
The Habersham Humane Society funds the trips to Wisconsin, which take a lot of
time but allow HCACC to
get many dogs at a time
to good homes, even
when they cannot fi nd
enough homes in the
Habersham
County
area.
“A lot of hours go into
it for each trip, but it’s
very rewarding,” Hawkins
said. “When we’re able to
send out dogs in that quantity,
it’s amazing when we come back
in and it’s empty.”
The shelter can then take on more neglected or abandoned dogs.
Hawkins said Tailwaggers 911 can
fi nd homes in Wisconsin for just about
any Habersham dog.
“They [Tailwaggers 911] have pulled
heartworm-positive dogs from us, special
needs dogs, senior dogs,” Hawkins said.

They host the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to do something special for their guests and
volunteers in celebration
of the holidays.
“Lots of people don’t
have anything. It’s sad,”
said James Higginbotham,
manager of the Cornelia
location. “But then they
have this to look forward
to.”
The soup kitchen is
supported primarily by
churches and through
individual
donations,
though the recent economic trouble has affected
church support. “[The cost
of] everything has gone
up, church donations have
gone down,” said Smessaert.

“It doesn’t matter what it
is, as long as it is friendly
and adoptable.”
Boeselager said people
in her area really take care
of their dogs, and they don’t
have many abandoned
dogs or other strays, so it is
sometimes difficult to fi nd
dogs in the area to adopt.
But with Habersham County giving them dogs and by
allowing locals to see the
Habersham dogs on the
Tailwaggers 911 website,
many more people in the
area can fi nd a great dog to
adopt.
“I give a lot of credit to
Habersham, and I give 110
percent to Madi,” Boeselager said. “I started to develop a deep relationship
with them, because what
they say is what they do.
They are very, very high
on integrity.”
“What we are fi nding
with the Habersham animal shelter is that they
have really nice dogs,” she
added.
Hawkins said Boeselager has flown down to
Habersham County twice
to get to know the HCACC
staff and help load dogs up
for the trip to Wisconsin.
“She really likes to know
her people,” Hawkins said.
Both Boeselager and
Hawkins emphasized the
importance of Habersham
residents helping out by either sponsoring dogs at the
shelter or providing them
with a foster home until
they can be transported.
A sponsor can provide
the fi nancial support for a
dog until it can be adopted
out.
“If the dog is paid for until we get it moved out, that
dog cannot be euthanized,”
Hawkins said. Or someone
could provide a temporary
foster home for a dog to free
up space at the shelter.
about sponsoring or fostering a dog, contact HCACC
at 706-754-3533.

it has a legal look to it.”
Closs also feels if the
county can acquire adjacent board of education
property, a boulevard entrance from Washington
Street will be impressive.
“There will be a grand effect to it,” Closs said.
Closs said many people,
when they learned he was
on the judicial center design
committee, emphasized a
design vastly different from
the current courthouse
look. “Make sure it doesn’t
look like that,” Closs said
he was told. “It’s 100 miles
from that.”
But while the tower, with
its atrium effect, may look
impressive as the exterior,
the inside design, “basically that was functional,”
Closs said. “It’s rather inviting when you walk in the
door,” Closs said, based on
drawings he has seen, “but
the rest of it is rather functional.”
“The top floor is empty,”
Closs said, “and will be
available for future expansion, when needed.”
Closs said target cost to
build the judicial center
was around $14 million and
approximately $3 million
was to go to renovations at
the existing courthouse. It
will probably cost a little
more to build the judicial
center and probably a little
less will go to renovation,
Closs said.
“I think the county is really going to like it,” Closs
said.
The county is requesting
a building height variance
from the City of Clarkkesville. Clarkesville building
ordinance has a maximum
building structure height of
35 feet above ground level,
said Barry Johns, zoning
administrator and building
inspector, on Nov. 22.
The county’s variance
request asks for a building
height of “approximately
47 feet above ground level,”
Johns said.
“That’s to the top of the
dome,” he said.

Wednesday, Dec. 7, at the
Ruby Fulbright Recreation
and Aquatic Center. The
center is at 120 Paul Franklin Road in Clarksville. The
Potts Company, along with
Rainwater & Associates,
will be hosting the fair.
The Potts Company is the
construction company atrisk for the judicial center.
Potts is working in conjunction with HOK, the project
architect, and Pond & Company, the county’s project
management
company.
Potts is based in Conyers
and the other companies are

Flu vaccination recommended
ATLANTA – Sandra
B. Reed, MD, president of
the Medical Association of
Georgia (MAG), is reminding Georgians to get their
annual flu vaccination.
“As a rule, every patient
who is 6 months or older
should get vaccinated once
a year,” says Reed. “And we
encourage our patients to
consult with their primary
care physician to discuss
the flu vaccination as part of
their ongoing, overall health
maintenance program.”
Reed stresses most patients will just need to get
one vaccination during the
2011-12 flu season since this
year’s vaccine was formulated to guard against several flu viruses, including
the H1N1 strain. She also
says vaccine supplies are
reportedly in strong supply
this year.
Go to flu.gov for additional information on the flu and
flu vaccines.

The parking lot in front of The Northeast Georgian will be the gathering place Monday, Nov. 28, for
residents of Habersham and surrounding counties
to hear an old-fashioned stump debate between 50th
Senate District candidates Rick Austin and John
Wilkinson.
Austin and Wilkinson were the two top finishers
in the Nov. 8 special election. The run-off election for
the 50th Senate District is Dec. 6.
Six of eight counties in the 50th District will have
their local newspapers on-hand. Collaborating with
The Northeast Georgian are sister newspapers The
Toccoa Record, The Hartwell Sun, The Clayton Tribune, White County News and Franklin County Citizen Leader. The 50th Senate District includes all of
Banks, Franklin, Habersham, Hart, Rabun, Stephens
and Towns counties and a portion of White County.
The event is being held in conjunction with Cornelia-based radio station WCON, which will broadcast
the debate live. Alan Nesmith, Community Newspapers Inc. regional publisher and publisher of The
Northeast Georgian, will moderate the debate.
Locally, questions can be emailed [email protected] or to WCON at [email protected]. A few questions will be called
in to WCON and prerecorded. All questions will be
screened. Question deadline: 5 p.m., Nov. 27.
Questions will begin after the opening statements.
Responses will be timed. The limit will be 45 seconds
per question per candidate. Candidates will rotate in
order from question to question.

Pocket change is something most people don’t
miss. But in the hands of
Rotarians, pocket change
can go a long way.
November is Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness
Month. But Rotarians don’t
wait for an official week to
help. Every week for about
15 years, Rotarians have
been throwing their pocket change into the blue
pails available at Rotary
Club meetings. That money, known as the CART
(coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust) Fund, goes
to research for the cure of
Alzheimer’s disease.
The beauty of the fund
is it grows in a logarithmic way, says Rotary Club
of Habersham member
Duane Hartness.
“We have an average attendance between 80 and
100 Rotarians,” he says.
“You’ve got this logarithmic growth potential,
when you take the loose
change from one Rotarian and multiply it by the
number of Rotarians in
the club, by the number of
clubs in the state, by the
number of states in the
country, and then by the
countries in the world, you
can get a powerful financial impact.”
Gail Welborn, president
of Habersham Sunrise Rotary, agrees.
“[The CART fund] is
another representation of
how a little bit from each
person collectively goes a
long way,” she says. “Rotary does so many good
things, this is one small additional thing. Alzheimer’s
affects so many people and
we’re not doing enough for
it. I feel good about it and
so many of the other things
Rotary has their hands in
across the world.”
Everyone has been affected by Alzheimer’s disease, or they will be, Hartness says.
“If you ask everybody to
raise their hand, that has
in some way been impacted by Alzheimer’s, even
through a friend or neighbor, everybody has to raise
their hand. Everybody has
been impacted, and if they
about another finding.”
However, Strait does
have hope for the future
of Alzheimer’s research,
and she believes money
collected by Rotary Clubs
will help.
“Right now Emory [University] has some things going on where they do MRIs
of the brain and they’re
finding they can destroy
some of the plaque [in the
brain]. I thought, ‘I’m not
going to get excited. I’m going to stay cool.’ But I got a
little excited.’”
Rotary
Club
of
Habersham collects $500$600 per year for the research, says member Vivian Schoonmaker.
Hartness
says
it’s
Schoonmaker who keeps
the blue pail active. At
times, to help “stir it up,”
members will challenge
each other.
“Sometimes
Vivian
will tell me we need to reinvigorate the blue pail,
and I or another Rotarian
will get up and say something about Alzheimer’s,”
he says. “Sometimes somebody will say, ‘I’m going to
put a dollar in the CART
bucket in honor of Georgia Tech’s victory over the
University of Georgia,’ or
vice versa. We try to make
it interesting and fun, because there’s not much fun
about Alzheimer’s. Sometimes somebody will issue
a challenge. We try to do
that occasionally just to
keep it interesting.”
For people who have
been affected by the disease, and people like Strait
who work with them, funding research is the best
that can be done right now.
Strait urges people to take
their loved ones to a neurologist if Alzheimer’s disease is suspected.
“In the first and second
stages of Alzheimer’s, people [with the disease] get
so scared,” she says. “Take
your person and get them
evaluated by a neurologist.
They weed everything else
out and that has to be done
because the only definite
diagnosis of Alzheimer’s
is an autopsy.”

Why we’re picturing
sex offenders
oday marks the second time The Northeast Georgian has published the names,
addresses and charges of all registered
sex offenders currently documented as living
in Habersham County.
It is unfortunate a Sex Offender Registry is
necessary, but Habersham County currently
has 62 residents registered.
We’re publishing this information about sex
offenders because we believe an informed public is a safer public.
The information
provided on Pages
8-9A of today’s edition is available online at the
Habersham County Sheriff’s Office website,
habershamsheriff.com, and on the Georgia
Bureau of Investigation’s website.
Still, we believe it is important to make our
readers aware of those in the living in our
community who have committed crimes that
led to them being placed on the Georgia Sex
Offender Registry.
Thanksgiving through Christmas is a time
when residents visit the homes of neighbors
and more people are in the county for holiday
shopping, making this a time for again presenting this important information.

Habersham moving in right direction
It is happening in
Habersham.
People are coming
together. Eyes are opening
to the team approach, and
we are moving in the right
direction.
Thursday, Nov. 17, I
attended a Partnership for
Growth meeting, the last
one of the year. Rope Roberts, a regional economic
leader with Georgia Power
Co. and a Habersham
County resident, has
facilitated the bimonthly
meetings. He has done an
excellent job of keeping
our community’s elected
officials and leaders
working together for our
benefit.
The gathering was a
recap meeting and we had
a special guest visiting,
Dennis Epps. In October
of 2010, Epps, director of
the Carl Vinson Institute
of Government at the Uni-
versity of Georgia, was brought
in to develop a
focus and goals.
Epps said he
was proud of the
group for sticking together and
making headway.
I was proud of
the group, too.
Every municipality and every
county entity sent
a representative.
They included
the Water and
Sewerage Authority,
Airport Authority, Development Authority, Keep
Habersham Beautiful and
Chamber board members.
In fact, we have had good
attendance all year.
The event was held at
Ethicon. Epps said other
communities in Georgia would give almost
anything to have such
a great plant
located in their
county. I agree.
We are blessed
to have Ethicon
in Habersham
County. The company is a great
employer and
strong community supporter.
Four years
ago, all of us were
dealt a hammering blow. We
watched as our
local, state and
national economy began
to crumble. Now we are in
a period of rebuilding.
Epps said this time
could be viewed as an opportunity for Habersham
County; it gives us time to
plan our future direction.
Now is the time to align
our local governments to
prepare for growth. Fortunately, the process has
Alan
NeSmith
begun and we are well on
the way. And Partnership
for Growth stands as a
working testimony.
When people view us
from outside our county
lines, they don’t see
seven municipalities.
They see one community,
Habersham County. That
makes it imperative for us
to move as one, working
as a team for everyone’s
benefit.
Team Habersham.
We are geographically
blessed; we have a great
workforce; we have room
to grow. Our local leaders
are working together and
progress is being made. So
I’ll say it again:
It is happening in
Habersham.

Black Friday has become super-sized
S
uper-size it. That’s
what we do in America, whether it’s a
Big Mac or a holiday sale.
Bigger is better.
Our society takes a
good idea and amplifies
it until it doesn’t even
remotely resemble what
it was when it began.
Take airport security,
for example. The TSA
was created to make airline travel safer after the
terrorist attacks of 2001.
Good idea at the time.
Ten years and billions
of dollars later, TSA officers are yawning, texting
and chatting it up in airports while passengers
have to take off half their
clothes just to get on the
plane to Omaha to visit
grandma. I rest my case.
So what’s the latest
example of super-sized?
Black Friday, the marathon shopping day after
Thanksgiving that’s supposed to put retailers in
the black.
Black Friday used to
be simple. You ate and
spent time with family on Thanksgiving
Day and then headed
to Walmart at 4 o’clock
the next morning with other
bleary-eyed
shoppers to get
the best deals
on the hottest
Christmas gifts.
Is this a great
country or what?
Everything
worked just fi ne
when Black Friday was confi ned
to one day. But
now we’ve supersized it, and it’s
gotten completely
out of control.
Somehow, the day after Thanksgiving starts
way before Thanksgiving and goes until Cyber
Monday. Go figure.
Black Friday has
morphed into something
bigger than a single
shopping day. It’s more
like a holiday shopping
season. This year, the
season started about two
weeks before Thanksgiving when retailers began
advertising Pre-Black
Friday deals and “After Thanksgiving Now”
sales.
The marketing message was all about get-
ting a jump on
the shopping by
taking advantage
of the same great
deals before
Thanksgiving.
Now, if you
consider this in
terms of gender
equality, there’s
a fairly compelling argument
for expanding
Black Friday.
Think about it.
Most Black Friday shoppers are
women. We love a good
deal and will sacrifice a
few hours of beauty sleep
to get the perfect gift at
half-price.
But who does the
lion’s share of the work
on Thanksgiving Day
– men or women? Women,
of course. (Sorry guys,
just calling it like I see
it. Seriously, how much
effort does it take to eat
and watch football?)
And for all the men
who do cook Thanksgiving dinner, please don’t
send me hate mail. I love
all three of you. But I
digress.
The point is that
Martha
Reabold
the women who have
shopped, cooked, cleaned
and entertained at
Thanksgiving are generally the same ones who
are up and at it, elbowing
their way through the
stores on Black Friday.
It’s no wonder they
fight tooth-and-nail over
the Crock-Pot that’s on
sale for $9.99. They’re
tired, worn to a frazzle
and down to their very
last nerve.
But now that we’ve
super-sized Black Friday,
there’s an alternative.
A smart woman might
think twice about rolling
out of bed at dark-thirty
on Black Friday if she
can get the very same
deals before Thanksgiving or a little later.
So essentially we’ve
made Black Friday a
little … gray. And maybe
that’s not a bad thing.
It means I can hit the
snooze button the morning after Thanksgiving.
After all, Cyber Monday
is only a few days away.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Take advantage of ample
opportunities to vote
To the editor:
The results of Habersham County’s Nov. 8 General Municipal and
Special Election have been certified.
The Habersham County Board of
Elections and Registrations wishes
to thank the community for their
turnout and to express appreciation
to Election Supervisor Laurel Jones
and her staff for a job well-done.
Ms. Jones administered a precise
election for four municipal positions,
two state representatives and one local SPLOST.
Altogether, 5,225 ballots were cast,
nearly 28 percent of the registered
voters in the county. While this is a
respectable number for an off-year
election, your Board of Elections is
committed to making your right to
vote as easy to exercise as possible,
with increased voter turnout the
goal. In this most recent election,
roughly 30 percent of the votes were
early and absentee votes, while in
the 2008 election, nearly 75 percent
were.
Each and every vote is important
and one’s right to vote should not be
taken for granted. With that in mind,
the work of Habersham County voters is not yet complete. The run-off
election between Rick Austin and
John Wilkinson for State Senate seat
50 is Dec. 6, but there are ample opportunities to vote prior to this date.
Early voting is available now at
the Habersham County Courthouse,
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and absentee
ballots can be cast through the mail.
Additionally, advanced voting can be
done at the Ruby Fulbright Aquatic
Center from Nov. 28 through Dec. 2,
from 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
Should you have any questions, or
need any assistance, feel free to contact the office at 706-754-4068.
Be counted. Be heard. Vote.

Live life in thankful,
adventuresome way
I
t’s fun to have friends who love life, the
silliness, suspense and exhilaration of
life’s adventures. Gather a few around
you and you will laugh, which is good for
your health.
Recently, I had lunch with my friend
who giggles and laughs freely. I was feeling
sad because I had seen four dead squirrels
on the road coming to town. I had seen
several hunting trucks parked, whose drivers were shooting deer in the woods. Cars
were running over dead, red oak leaves
that had fallen. Rain was dripping from
the sky.
My husband and I had read our prayer
list in the morning and said aloud the
names of 10 friends who have cancer. Life
seemed threatened and vulnerable. Breathing beings could lose their lives so easily.
When I walked into the restaurant,
I was feeling sad. As soon as I saw my
friend’s sparkling eyes and face, I knew I’d
be feeling happy soon. We started to talk
about thrilling and dangerous adventures
we had taken and exclaimed how lucky we
were to escape disaster.
Suddenly she said, “I’m glad my husband lived until he died.” He was a risk
taker on motorcycle, boats and airplanes.
She and he traveled world-wide, riding
camels, climbing glaciers and driving
sports cars. He died suddenly of a heart
attack in his late 60s, but he had lived until
he died.
Life means activity. Rather than sitting
at a desk all day and coming home and
watching TV all night, let us walk, run, go
to the gym and do physical activities that

A Mt. Airy resident is
charged with stabbing
his mother in the back
and cutting his father’s
hand with a kitchen knife
Tuesday evening. He was
arrested by deputies with
the Habersham County
Sheriff’s Office after fleeing to his grandmother’s
house, according to law
enforcement officers.
According to Col. Greg
Bowen of the HCSO, deputies responded to a 911
hang-up call on Chase
Road at 6:14 p.m. Nov. 22.
When they arrived, they
found Daniel Tyler, 26,
who is accused of the stabbing, had fled the scene.
His father, Terry Tyler,
also sustained a cut on
his thumb while trying
to take the knife away,
keep us healthy so we
can have adventures on
the weekends.
Life means connection and communicating with others. Let’s
make an effort to talk
about our needs and
wants to our spouses,
and listen to their responses. Let’s share
our feelings of being sad, mad, scared or
happy and what makes us feel that way.
Let’s share thoughts and ideas about how
to change habits that aren’t healthy for us.
Let’s discuss ways to keep our children
safe and focused on studies.
Let’s pray to God when our adult children take risky jobs; they may be fighting
in Afghanistan, they may be police officers
or they may work on power lines. When we
pray to God for their safe return, He hears
our prayer.
We thank God for the miracle of life.
Many Christians believe in resurrection
and that after death we ascend into heaven
in spirit form. A hymn captures the joy,
“When we all get to heaven, what a joy that
will be.”
We also pass on our lives and beliefs
to our children and grandchildren. The
squirrel’s babies that didn’t run across the
road will live until they die.
Let’s live the gift of life in thankful and
adventuresome ways, so people can say of
us, “She or he lived until they died.”

run away, Bowen said.
“He fled the scene prior to [officers’] arrival,”
Bowen said. “They found
him on Fourth Street in
Mt. Airy at his grandmother’s house.”
Bowen said Tyler was
hiding in a closet when officers arrived and he was
arrested without further
incident.
Tyler was still in custody as of Wednesday
morning, and charges are
pending, Bowen said.

GMCA COMMEMORATES VETERANS DAY WITH PURCELLS
To commemorate Veterans Day, Col. and Mrs. Ben Purcell were speakers at a special chapel service at Georgia Mountains Christian Academy on Nov. 10. Mrs. Purcell told the story of how she and
the family dealt with not knowing whether their husband and father was Missing in Action (MIA) or a
Prisoner of War (POW) and always hoping he was alive somewhere. In vivid description, Ann Purcell
told how their faith sustained them. Col. Purcell shared his display of items from his experience as
a POW in Vietnam. Students asked questions about the compass he made to help guide him when
he made his two escapes from prison. They were intrigued by the communion pieces he modeled
from old toothpaste tubes and his sandals constructed from old tires and pieces of old innertubes.
The valuable lesson learned was freedom is a precious gift and we should not take it for granted.

U C B S U PP O R T S C H AT TA H O O C H E E
M O U NTAI N FA I R
At the beginning of September, Habersham County hosted the 36th Annual Chattahoochee
Mountain Fair. United Community Bank contributed to the festivities by supporting and participating in fair events. Employees enjoyed the carnival, crafts, exhibits, petting zoo, art vendors and
food while supporting the community. Pictured are United employees Monika Nix (middle, left)
and Elisha Kinsey “clowning around” with the farmer and his backyard pig.
Local business owners
Jim and JoAnn Yearwood
are excited to celebrate
their 25th anniversary as
founders of Rainbow International of Mt. Airy.
“We
have
enjoyed
serving the cleaning and
restoration needs of the
public in our area,” Jim
Yearwood said. “There
have been challenges
along the way, but I am
happy to say we’ve weathered them successfully
and have enjoyed our time
as Rainbow International
Franchise owners.
“The Rainbow International concept of courteous and professional
service drives us,” added
JoAnn Yearwood. “I believe the key to business
success lies in more than
just doing a job for the
customer. I think building relationships with my
customers, in addition to
providing top-notch service, is the secret to success.”
The Yearwoods have
finally decided to take it
easy after all this time
and retire. While they
are excited to hand over
the reigns of running the
business to their dedicated employee, Cary Clarke,
they will still maintain
ownership of the franchise.
Jim and JoAnn Yearwood, center, were recognized for their 25th
anniversary as founders of Rainbow International in Mt. Airy.
“Jim and JoAnn are a
terrific example of worldclass front line service,”
said Rainbow International
President
Rob
White. “We’re excited to
share in the joys of this
milestone
anniversary
date and wish them well
as they head toward retirement.”

offers comprehensive water, fire and smoke damage restoration and cleaning services to residential
and commercial customers.

As of May 2010, the state sex offender registry recognizes four different time periods
for sex crimes depending on when the crime
was committed. Persons who committed a sex
crime before June 4, 2003 have no living or employment restrictions. Those who committed a
sex crime between that date and June 30, 2006
may not reside within 1,000 feet of a childcare
facility, school, or area where minors congregate, but have no employment restrictions.
Between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2008, offenders may not live or reside within 1,000 feet
of childcare facilities, schools, areas where minors congregate, or churches, or be employed
at any business within 1,000 feet of those
places. And if the offense occurred after July 1,
2008, the 1,000-foot rule applies, for both residence and employment, to all of those places
plus libraries.

During the annual Farm-City Week breakfast, held Nov. 18, Johnathan and Michelle McClain,
along with daughter, Grace, and son, Justin, received the Conservation Farm Family award,
which was sponsored by the Habersham County Farm Bureau and named by the Upper Chattahoochee Soil and Water Board. National Farm-City Week is from Nov. 18-24.
Honoring high-achieving students at North Georgia Technical College is a
long standing tradition. In
fact, the Georgia Award for
Occupational Leadership
(GOAL) competition originated at the school more
than 40 years ago.
The GOAL Program is
designed to spotlight outstanding achievement by
students in the Georgia
Technical College System and to emphasize the
importance of technical
education in today’s global
workplace. Local GOAL
winners are selected at
each of the state’s technical
colleges. Through a series
of competitive interviews,
the top student of the system is identified. In 2010,
NGTC Practical Nursing
student Brian Jones was
selected as the recipient
of the Technical College
System of Georgia GOAL
Award.
Though the 2012 winner
will not be declared until
next spring, already 26 students at NGTC were nominated for consideration.
The first round of interviews with faculty and staff
has been completed, and 12
have been selected as semifinalists. This group will
be interviewed again by
the vice presidents and directors at the college who
will select four finalists to
be announced at the GOAL
Banquet on Tuesday, Jan.
17, 2012. Those four will
then be interviewed by
members of the community who will choose the winner for the college.
Among the semi-finalists is John Mather of
Clarkesville in horticul-
ture.
The semi-finalists are
also eligible to be the recipient of the Marlowe-Evans
GOAL Scholarship. The
scholarship, founded in
2005 by Jim Marlowe and
Bob Evans, is given to one
of the 12 GOAL finalists at
NGTC who exemplifies the
spirit of Evans and Marlowe through their community service and willingness to help others.
Other Habersham residents nominated as 2012
GOAL candidates were
Karen Erwin of Cornelia
in Cosmetology; Amy Gailey of Baldwin in clinical
lab technology; and Kellie
Tallent of Clarkesville in
medical assisting.
GOAL candidates are
nominated by an instructor and must carry at least
a 3.0 GPA.

offers free yoga classes, retreats
By KIMBERLY BROWN
Buried deep in the
woods in Turnerville,
surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest, is a hidden secret:
Panther Brook Spiritual
Center.
The center, run by retired Piedmont College
psychology
department
chair Emerson Brooking,
Ph.D., is on about 40 acres
of mostly wooded land off
of Highway 441.
At the center, Brooking teaches Integral Yoga,
offering two free classes
per week. He also offers
regular Saturday retreats
and other classes at no
charge.
Brooking’s yoga classes are different from some
others in the area, because he teaches the spiritual side of yoga as well as
the physical poses.
“In America, we despiritualize everything, so we
take the heart of yoga and
just make it into an exercise class,” he says. “If we
focus on the Asanas [yoga
postures] and the deep relaxation only, that’s food
for the body. If we focus
on the breathing exercises and meditation and
prayer time, that’s food
for the soul.”
He says, while he is
a follower of Christ, the
practice of yoga is for all
religions and that methods of meditation can be
used to draw anyone closer to God.
“All religions are respected here. If people
have a religious base, I
want them to use that. It’s
like you’re digging a well
to the river of God’s grace.
You don’t want to start a
new well if you’ve already
got one going. You want
to dig that deeper so that
you’re successful.”
Brooking’s
students
love the spiritual side
of his yoga classes, and
many say both aspects
are what keep them coming back.
Sue Buak of Clarkesville loves backpacking
and hiking, and has hiked
much of the Appalachian
Trail, but injuries were
preventing her from physical activity.
Yoga, she says, “changed
my life.”
“I started with a very
bad back injury and I got
so I could hardly walk and
I couldn’t sit,” she says. “I
had terrible sciatic pain.
By coming here and doing
these exercises, I got flexible enough that I’m back
to backpacking.”
Buak says yoga and
meditation
has
also
calmed her spirit.
“The best thing that
happened is I ran into a
hiker friend who knows
me. I’m very hyper and
chatty, and she said, ‘I
don’t know what you’re doing, but you seem so much
calmer.’ She noticed the
change.”
“This is the fruit of the
spirit,” Brooking says.
“These fruits bring more
joy into your life. You’re
nicer to be with, you’re
more generous and more
loving.”
Pauline Dorman of
Clarkesville uses yoga to
help with her chronic congestion.
“I had West Nile [virus], and it affected me
by getting into my head,”
she says. “So I have a lot of
congestion and drainage.
With the deep moving, it
helps my breathing and
I get all that stuff up. I go
into a shoulder stand, and
that really gets the chest.”
Brooking says Dorman
had a deep regular spiritual practice before she
started coming to Panther
Brook, and the meditation
techniques she learned
helped deepen that practice.
“Some people think
yoga opens up your mind
to Satan,” Dorman says.
“But if you’re focused on
the Lord, and you’re not
focused on anything else,
that’s the important thing.
There’s no way this can

lead you away from God,
because that’s what you’re
focusing on. You’re breathing in the Holy Spirit.”
“So many Christians
don’t realize we have
this long tradition of contemplation,”
Brooking
says. “You don’t have to
go through a minister or
priest to experience God.
Christ told us very clearly,
‘The kingdom of God is
within us,’ and that’s what
we can experience.”
Dorman says the discipline required by learning
and practicing the yoga

Take time to appreciate God’s unchanging love
W
hat are you doing the day
after Thanksgiving? Waddling
around after having eaten too
much turkey and dressing? Heading to
the stores for Black Friday sales?
Every year, my family gathers for
Thanksgiving in White Springs, Fla.,
where my eldest brother and his wife
live. On Friday we always get into
canoes and drift down a stretch of the
Suwannee River. Somewhere along the
way we stop and have a picnic of turkey
sandwiches.
Thanksgiving is our once-a-year reunion. All of us live in different places
and have children who are growing and
lives that are evolving. But, each year
at Thanksgiving, we converge back to
the center of what “family” means to
us.
We follow the same script
each year. When we arrive,
the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day
parade is on the TV and the
kitchen is bustling with food
preparation. The menu stays
the same, with everyone preparing and bringing the same
dishes year after year. Before
we eat we gather outside and
tell all the same old stories,
maybe with one or two new
ones thrown in – if they are
worthy of inclusion! We play
horse shoes and take turns
at shooting bb’s at an old target my
brother made years ago. After the feast
we walk the same route through town
to let our food settle before we
dig into the same desserts.
Why this love of such a fixed
routine? I think because it is
how we express that our love
for each other has not changed.
It is how we assure each other
it will not change. Each year I
have the wonderful anticipation
of knowing as I get out of the
car and walk into the back yard
of my brother’s house, I will
walk into the very heart of my
family.
I know I sound overly nostalgic. Too bad Norman Rockwell didn’t get the chance to paint our
family Thanksgiving, right? I know our
family is ongoing, that we are always
Dena
Bearl
“there” for each other. In reality, the
members of my family all have our ups
and downs, ins and outs. There are
times when we don’t keep in as close
touch as we would like.
But, oh, how I savor all the outward
signs, dependably the same, of beloved
faces and familiar food and those
time-tested stories. I know they are
grace-filled sacraments through which
I get to taste and see God’s unchanging, unfailing love moving through our
lives. It is always present for each of us
to perceive through our own particular
lives and situations.
I am thankful for the way it has been
fashioned for me.
The Rev. Dena Bearl is rector of
Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church.

The Habersham Central Lady Raiders tip off the
new season this afternoon in Watkinsville, but in reality, the season started back in June.
This summer, HCHS head coach John Hood went to
great lengths to play as many of the top teams in Georgia as possible.
“As we planned our summer, we believed that we
needed to do something to build our confidence against
top tier teams,” Hood said.
The Lady Raiders played a summer schedule that
included many of the state’s best teams, including
Norcross and Buford, both of which won state titles
during the 2010 season. The Lady Raiders also played
Southwest DeKalb, a two-time state champion in 2008
and 2009, along with AAAAA powers North Gwinnett
and Brookwood, and Franklin County, the 2010 8-AAA
champion. HCHS didn’t limit their summer experience
to just the top teams in Georgia as they also played
Greenville High, who was a state runner-up in South
Carolina last season.
“I checked the (pre-season) rankings when they
came out this week, and a lot of those teams we played
this summer are ranked in the top 10 in their classification,” said Hood. “We played 10-12 games against some
of the best teams in the state and I think that has given
us some confidence. If we play error-free, we can be
competitive with everybody we play.”
Hood and his players hope the tough summer sched-

Five members of the Raider football team were recently recognized by Habersham Medical Center for earning Academic Letterman honors. To qualify for
Academic Letterman status, HCHS students must achieve a 95 percent grade point average for four semesters. Shown, from left, are Habersham Medical

bounds per game and usually guarded the opposing
team’s top scoring threat.
Gardner needs 181 rebounds this year to move
to the top of the school’s career rebounding list.
The Lions return more
than 80 percent of their
scoring output from last
season and Skaggs will be
running the offensive attack for the second straight
season. Skaggs, a Kentucky
native, averaged more than
32 minutes per game during his freshman season,
scoring 11 points a game
while handing out five assists per game.
Junior Michael Ross
is another key returnee
after finishing second on
the team in scoring and rebounding last winter.
Kevin Kubandi and Kyle
Lundberg, both sophomores, both worked more
than 18 minutes a game
last season, with being Kubandi being selected to the
All-Freshman team
Sophomore Aaron Thrams and junior Tyler Arnold provide depth in the
front court. Arnold is coming off a knee injury after
earning
All-Freshman
honors in 2009.
“We had a lot of youth on
the floor in important roles
last year and we are hoping that the valuable experience that those players
gained is going to translate
into an increased level of
confidence this year,” stated Glenn. “We are proud of
the level of commitment to
the small details and how
the players have attacked
the overall process.”
Glenn has a group of
first-year players that he
expects to contribute right
away.
“We are excited about
the level of talent in our
newcomers,” said Glenn.
“Once they become adjusted to the demands of the
college game both mentally and physically, we think
they can provide a strong
blend with our experience
players that will give us the
depth to play our style.”
The Lions opened the
season earlier this week
against Toccoa Falls College. Game score and details were unavailable due
to early holiday deadlines.
The Lions will head out
on the road for three games
in five days to close out November. The Lions will face
Methodist University and
Greensboro College this
weekend, before squaring
off against Oglethorpe University Nov. 30 in Atlanta.
PC has games against
Free Will Baptist Bible
College, Pensacola Christian College, Ferrum College and Christopher Newport University before the
Christmas break.
The Lions will open up
their final season of GSAC
play at LaGrange College
on Jan. 11.

Lady Raiders
ule pays off quick dividends
this season, starting with
the North Oconee Turkey
Tournament this weekend.
The holiday tournament is
just one piece of the early
season schedule that will
get the team ready for 8AAAA North games in
January.
“I think it’s a tougher
(preseason) schedule than
it was last year,” said Hood.
“We’re going to play some
good, athletic teams.”
When sub-region play begins Jan. 6 against Clarke
Central, Hood knows there
won’t be any sure wins in
league play.
“Clarke is ranked in
the top 5-6 in the state,
Madison is always good,
Flowery Branch has everybody back and they made
the region championship
game last year,” said Hood.
“Winder has a new coach
and three starters back so
they will be tough to deal
with, and Apalachee lost
just one starter. It will be
tough.”
When things do get
tough in sub-region games,
that’s when Hood hopes the
summer experiences will
come in handy.
“Our goal in the summer was to play as many
good teams as we could so
I hope we won’t be intimidated by anybody we play
now,” said Hood. “I think
we overcame some of the
mental barriers we used
to have when we played
really good teams. Being
successful gives you confidence. You can talk about
it all you want to but until
you do it on the court, that
gives you confidence.”
Hood is confident that
the team is ready to put together a good season.
“I feel like we are a veteran team now,” said Hood.
“We’ve got nine returning
lettermen and they have

a lot of experience. If you
count our summer league
games, some of these girls
have probably played about
200 high school games already and we feel like that
experience will help us.”
The Lady Raiders lost
just one senior from last’s
year team – guard Charlotte Lewallen who is now
a member of the Piedmont
College basketball team–
but Hood says replacing
her won’t be easy.
“Its hard to say what
losing Charlotte means
because she was so important to our team, but we
have some kids with skill
and speed, and we’ve got
some shooters and some
ball handlers,” said Hood.
“I think we have enough
good players to be successful.”
The summer games and
preseason workouts have
Emily Robinson is one of four seniors on the HCHS roster.
“Emily is more confident this year, she’s shooting the ball real well and
she’s a better player,” said
Hood. “Kerra looks good
so far. She’s back at fullspeed. I think she’s way
ahead of schedule. Grace
and A.C. are both really
good defensively and they
play hard.”
Hood has six juniors on
the roster, several of whom
played extensive minutes
the past two years.
Gerrin led the team in
both scoring and rebounding last winter and she is
getting a lot of attention
from college recruiters.
Hood expects Gerrin to be
one of the top post players
in the region.
“Haley has gotten in
better shape and she’s
playing with more confidence,” said Hood. “There
are probably at least 20
left Hood encouraged about
the entire roster.
“All of the girls have improved,” said Hood. “We’ve
worked on weaknesses and
gotten better. Our expectations are high; we’ve got a
chance to be a pretty good
team.”
Hood has a group of four
seniors – Emily Robinson,
Kerra Canup, Grace Donnelly and A.C. Brown – that
he is relying on to set the
pace on and off the court.
Robinson combines with
junior Haley Gerrin to give
HCHS a big, experienced
front line. Donnelly saw
extensive action last year
on the wing, while Brown,
who has yet to practice
because of an illness, also
will see action at the guard
spot. Canup is coming off a
serious knee injury after
missing most of her junior
season.
schools interested in her.
We had coaches from Georgia State and Mercer at
the scrimmage with Hart
County. She really can be a
dominant player.”
Last year, opposing
teams used two or three
players to defend Gerrin
in the low post, but Hood
thinks that strategy won’t
work as well this season.
“Everybody knows that
what we do kind of runs
through her but I think we
have enough shooters this
year that teams won’t be
able to double and tripleteam her all the time,”
said Hood. “I think we
made nine three-pointers
against Hart in the scrimmage so we are not going to
be one-dimensional.”
Brianna Barrett is a
three-year starter and
gives the Lady Raiders a
threat on the outside and
as a dribble-and-drive
player from the perimeter.
Jen Lovell is set to replace
Lewallen at point guard.
“Brianna is playing really well,” said Hood. “She
was our second-leading
scorer last year. Jen was a
backup last year but she’s
stepped up and will play at
lot at point guard. She’s an
excellent defender.”
Christy Smith and Kenzie Fleming will both see
extensive action on the perimeter, while Alicia Maddox adds to the Lady Raiders’ post game.
“Christy and Kenzie
both are shooting the ball
real well right now,” Hood.
“They shoot the three well
and they can help us defensively. Alicia gives us some
more size (inside) and she’s
a good mid-range shooter.”
Veronika Brooks and
Chastity Purdy are the lone
sophomores on the varsity
squad. Brooks saw action
last year on the varsity
while Purdy was a member
of the JV squad.
“Veronika has unlimited athletic ability,” said
Hood. “She’s going to get a
lot of playing time (at point
guard). She sees things so
well. Chastity is about 6-1,
so she gives us some more
size. We’re looking forward
to seeing her develop. We
thinks she can be a pretty
good player.”
While Hood believes
that the team has gotten
better on the offensive end,
he knows a lot of games will
hinge on the Lady Raiders
ability to slow down the opposing team.
“We’ve gotten better
defensively,” said Hood. “I
think the girls understand
it a lot better now than we
have in the past. We still
need to get in better shape
but the girls are getting in
the right spot (defensively).”
