Braselton senior complex proposed

By RAMONA GRACE EVANS revans@clickthepaper.com With a growing senior adult population, many housing facilities are sprouting up in the area. Considering the newly-opened Oaks at Braselton and the Del Webb community of The Village at Deaton Creek, many are questioning the need for another development of this kind.

NorSouth Development Company of Georgia addressed the Braselton Planning Commission Monday night to present plans for the future of 4.87 acres along Beaver Dam Road in Braselton that will offer something different.

The company aims to bring a long-term stake ownership to the town by building a 55-

and-older apartment complex that promotes senior independence. This is not the first of this kind for the group; they have constructed more than 1,000 similar properties in the last eight years, what the company considers a feat factoring in the three years of recession.

All NorSouth Development Company properties in the area have reached more than 75percent leasing in the first 90 days of opening, the company claims. Envisioned for the community is a limited assistance complex that will bridge the way from home ownership to a later time when health needs need more assisted living for the older population.

Amenities are to include art studios, a fitness center, a garden and walking trails. Food service will not be provided however as each unit has a fully-equipped kitchen and mul-

tiple safety features. Residents will be able to continue hosting family events by utilizing the reserve-ready community rooms. There will be 80 units ranging from one-bedroom, one-bath styles to two-bedroom, two-bath designs, each with one gated parking space. The three-story development will be designed with earth colors.

NorSouth spokesmen say the facility will not compete with surrounding senior facilities. With a 12-month lease and independent living, the company says it is targeting a different market. Keeping in mind the stable, non-transient nature of this community, they are providing a different, low-cost option so that the parents of local residents can live close by.

“It really does hit a market point that hasn’t

been met before in an affordable way,” said Vice President of Development Brendan S. Barr. “The reality is that senior living just doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all category.

There needs to be different options for them and this is our philosophy.”

Planning commissioner Edd Price voiced only one concern – the close proximity to the warehouse and industrial district. The architect on the project assured that the benefits by far outweigh the risks.

The commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the development proposal with conditions. Mayor Bill Orr and Braselton Town Council will have the final decision after the next public hearing at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 10, in the courtroom of the Police & Municipal Building.

Whole Foods’ Earth Day hospitality

BRASELTON

Appeal to be heard

By RAMONA GRACE EVANS revans@clickthepaper.com

Ramona Grace Evans The Paper

Whole Foods’ Distribution Center hosted an Earth Day event on Saturday, April 21. Sherry Garrison Booth from The Veggie Patch at Bouchard Farms, one of Whole Foods’ suppliers, handed out plants to event-goers. See more from the event on Page 3A.

Acree Oil Company, located at 1945 Highway 211 in Braselton, is requesting variances from the Braselton Zoning Board of Appeals.

The parcel, owned by Braselton Developers Inc., is home to the Shell Station at the 211124 intersection.

The company is pursuing the variances for relief from two development code sections related to the height and area of ground signage as well as the prohibition of internally illuminated signs.

RaceTrac that will be construction at Ga. 211 and Ga. 124 in Braselton recently sought relief from some development restrictions related to signs.

The Braselton Zoning Board of Appeals is to hear the request and allow for community comments at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 26, in the courtroom.

Braselton Antique and Gardening Festival arrives

By LEANNE AKIN lakin@clickthepaper.com More than 50 booths will be set up at Braselton Park for this weekend’s Antique & Gardening Festival, according to organizer Donna Cannella of Countryside Antiques.

Cannella has been signing up vendors for months to make the spring festival attractive for the thousands who make their way to Braselton for the twice-a-year antique event, and she has been readying her own shop for weeks.

Festival-goers usually take in the park happenings as well as visit the community’s antique shops, which serve as sponsors for the festival. Braselton’s Countryside Antiques, A Flea An’tique and Braselton Antique Mall and Hoschton’s Auction Ventures and Our Nana’s Attic are promoting booths at the festival as well as manning their storefronts. Auction Ventures is open on Friday evenings. The shops refer customers to each other and team up toward making Braselton and Hoschton a destination.

“We want festival-goers to come, have a great time and come back to this town and its shops as an antiques shopping destination,” said Cannella.

Cannella says the festival and a visit to the area’s antique shops can be your chance to see and purchase items which were loved in another lifetime. That love affair with vintage is a popular trend in home decorating, jewelry making, gift giving and more.

The love of antiques and refinishing furniture connect Cannella to her late mother who taught her to appreciate the world of

antiques. She credits her mother, who was also her best friend, for her spontaneous entrepreneurial venture into Countryside Antiques. Her memory continues to serve as Cannella’s inspiration.

Cannella has owned Countryside Antiques for four years and recently added new landscaping with flower beds to accent yard art to provide a unique outdoor setting for the decorations which you can purchase to enhance your home’s landscape. From bottle trees to unique yard critters fashioned from metal including tools by Wesley Lawrence to farm items and an iron bed repurposed for garden use to concrete statuary, Countryside Antiques has much to see outside but a step inside showcases the booths of a number of vendors.

New white paint with red accent letters spell out “Antiques” to make sure there is no question what is inside the historic schoolhouse. Festival-goers can consider the lettering on the rear of Countryside Antiques to be an invitation to step across Harrison Street and come inside.

Don’t be deterred by the ongoing road construction in Braselton. The antique shops remain open and there is easy access from the park area to A Flea An’tique.

Lawrence’s work, including a red-headed woodpecker perched on a tree, is among the offerings at the festival. For the past 15 years, Lawrence has been traveling to shows with his wife, who makes pocketbooks by recycling blue jeans. Lawrence found his own repurposed recycling as have others partici-

POLICE REPORT Braselton Police ■ An entering auto was reported April 16 at a Highway 53 residence.

A stereo amp valued at $250 and miscellaneous tools were reportedly taken from the car which had been left at the location by someone who took the vehicle from the parking lot of Wal-mart in Gainesville after the owner’s arrest.

The keys were left in the unsecured vehicle and the two passengers may have driven the car to the trailer park where it was recovered. Entry was gained into the rear passenger side door.

■ A second-degree forgery complaint was filed April 16 from the Pilot Travel Center when a customer presented a $100 bill which was an obvious fake. The customer said her husband had received the money from an East Point company he did business with recently. The bill was seized and the customer was provided a case number so that she may attempt to recover the money from the business.

■ An April 16 damage to property report was filed from Kroger

on Spout Springs Road where a vehicle was vandalized. Stick figures of male genitalia and the word “faggot” were drawn on the vehicle. A co-worker of the victim witnessed the vandalism which may be tied to senior prank week at Flowery Branch High School. The victim is a student.

■ The combination of no tag light and tinted windows was the probable cause for an April 16 traffic stop on Interstate 85 just before midnight.

The odor of burnt marijuana was noticed by officers who requested a consent search of the car. The North Carolina driver said the glass smoking pipe with a marijuana bud in the trunk must have been left behind by a friend.

The driver was cited for driving with a suspended license and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana.

■ An April 17 report was filed by the manager of Subway on Highway 211 who told police that $260 in currency was missing from the business. Unsuccessful attempts have been made to contact an employee who failed to show up

for work so that case is being turned over the investigators.

■ Two persons were transported to the Gwinnett County Jail after an April 18 traffic stop made just after midnight when an officer stopped a vehicle with no tag light and an tag obstructing the tag. The driver, whose license was suspended, advised when asked that there was marijuana in the vehicle.

A search of the vehicle netted five small containers of marijuana and three marijuana pipes.

The driver, who was also wanted on warrants from Roswell Police, was cited for marijuana possession as well as the traffic charges. The passenger was charged with marijuana possession and allowing an unlicensed person to drive.

■ Neither the passenger nor the driver of a vehicle stopped April 20 on Interstate 85 just before 4 a.m. would lay claim to the marijuana cigarettes or the bag of suspected marijuana located after the strong odor of raw marijuana was smelled

by Braselton officers.

The vehicle had no tag light which prompted the stop. Both the driver and the passenger were cited for possession of marijuana and the driver

was cited for the tag light violation.

■ A truck with extensive damage to its passenger side was unable to maintain its lane while traveling on Interstate 85 just before 1:30 a.m. on April 22 so a traffic stop at the Barrow-Jackson county line was conducted. A strong odor of alcoholic beverages was smelled coming from inside the vehicle as well as from the driver’s breath when he stepped from the truck. The driver was also unsteady on his feet, relying on the truck to lean against.

Inside the truck was shattered glass. A check on the vehicle revealed the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado may have been involved in a hit-andrun mishap in Gwinnett County. The Georgia State Patrol conducted a DUI investigation and the Gwinnett County Police also arrived on the scene.

■ The Georgia State Patrol also assisted at another traffic stop made by Braselton Police at 3 a.m. on April 22. The driver, who said he was tired after a business meeting and may have drifted off to sleep behind the wheel, said he had alcohol to drink at 8 p.m. The State Patrol conducted the DUI

investigation and took the driver into custody for suspected DUI. ■ A patron at Chateau Elan reported the April 11 theft of a credit card from her luggage. Police advised the victim to make contact if she located the card or if charges appeared on the account.

■ Paul Andrew Uhrinek, 47, of Braselton, was taken into custody April 9 by Winder Police officers after a 911 call was made about a driver waving a handgun at another driver on Highway 53 near Interstate 85. The victim proceeded toward Winder while notifying 911 and the suspect’s vehicle was stopped. Reports show Uhrinek had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath.

■ A man who says he has been accused of stealing a handgun and jewelry from another man contacted police after the man came to his Duncan Corners place of employment and threatened him on April 10.

The suspect had already previously threatened to get him and he is fearful since the suspect does have several firearms.

The previous threat occurred in another county, reports show.

■ A lookout placed for a vehicle failing to maintain its lane found Braselton Police making a traffic stop at the Barrow-Jackson line on Thompson Mill Road.

The driver, who said he had been playing softball before going to a bar and grill for five beers, smelled of an alcoholic beverage and was unsteady on his feet. The driver, who said he lived nearby, acknowledged he probably had too much to drink and said he probably sounded drunk.

The driver was charged with DUI, failure to update address within 60 days, open container and two other traffic charges.

The talkative driver was taken to the Gwinnett County Jail.

Earth Day celebrated at Whole Foods with food and fork lift competition

By RAMONA GRACE EVANS revans@clickthepaper.com Cars lined up outside of the Whole Foods Distribution Center on Saturday for the annual Earth Day celebration.

Participants enjoyed delicious, healthy food preparation demonstrations, inflatable games for children, tours and an exciting fork-lift rodeo. Tastes of fresh honey, gluten-free baked items, sautéed local produce and barbecue staples were served up.

Greater than the message of environmental awareness, the event displayed the sense of company pride and employee teamwork that Whole Foods diligently works to uphold. Employee Appreciation Week took place before the event and many employees shared accounts of fun activities and food offerings.

“We are a team,” said Bradley Beasley, fork lift supervisor of the shipping team. He participated as a contestant in the fork lift rodeo that is a company-wide competition. Saturday’s winner was presented with $200 and a trip to Pompano Beach, Fla., for the national competition. “It is a big employee motivator and there is always a great deal of excitement during the set-up. All of our wives have cheered us on at the opportunity to go to the beach,” said Beasley.

Hoschton Mayor Erma Denney enjoyed sharing smoothies outside of the center entrance. As a vegan customer of Whole Foods, not only does she love their products but she loves their outreach as well.

ney said. “We don’t even have to ask for them to get involved. [Whole Foods distribution team leader] Mark Hardy jumps at every opportunity and that is why I shop at the storefront in Duluth to give back what they give to our community.”

The mission of Whole Foods was made clear in the

fun event that brought hundreds of visitors. First on the list of priorities comes their employees, followed closely by environmental awareness, nutrition and community outreach. Healthy eating, recycling and a what-can-I-doto-help attitude were on the minds of all who left their campus on Saturday.

Clark brought rock ‘n’ roll into our living rooms My parents came along a little too late for the rock ‘n’ roll era. They were much more comfortable with the likes of Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

I remember turning the TV over to Channel 5, which was CBS in those days, to catch a little glimpse of the rock groups appearing on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”

Even the network censors on Ed’s show made the rock groups tone it down a little.

The Rolling Stones had to sing, “Let’s Spend Some Time Together,” instead of “Let’s Spend The Night Together.”

This is the time on TV when married couples slept in twin beds.

On Saturdays, after the morning cartoons had gone off, was my only chance to hear the latest music and see the latest dances.

It was “American Bandstand” with Dick Clark.

Clark died last week at the age of 82, but not before giving many rock stars a big break by playing their song to a national TV audience.

I’m not sure how you really debut a song today.

Teens don’t listen to traditional radio, like they did in my day. Now, a debut involves downloading a song on iTunes.

There were many TV hosts who launched stars who are now legends.

Ted Mack, who spent most of his time hawking Geritol as a cure for ironpoor, tired blood, gave a number of stars a shot on his national amateur hour.

In 1952, a 7-year-old girl named Gladys Knight, belted out a great arrangement of “Too Young,” and was that week’s national winner of a $2,000 prize on the amateur hour.

Others discovered by Mack included Ann-Margret and Pat Boone.

The Osmond Brothers didn’t impress bandleader Lawrence Welk, but Williams saw their talent and began featuring them on his network TV show. The rest, as they say, is history.

Closer to home, local

Harris Blackwood shows like Freddie Miller’s “Stars of Tomorrow” gave a debut to future national stars like Brenda Mae Tarpley. You know her now as Brenda Lee. Regional country music shows also gave a platform to future stars. Porter Wagoner introduced us to “a little gal singer” named Dolly Parton.

In the 1980s, “Star Search,” hosted by Ed McMahon, gave us the first look at a number of today’s stars, including Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.

The earliest shows were simple and the future stars had not honed the presence and confidence that would propel them to national stature.

We were too mesmerized to know that some of the singers appearing on “American Bandstand” were moving their lips to their record, we were just glad to watch and wanted to pick up on the latest dances.

We also tuned over to watch “Soul Train” and its baritone-voiced host, Don Cornelius. Each week, he took us on the “hippest trip in America” and would wish us “love, peace ... and soul.”

But the guy we knew best was Dick Clark. While he was the age of our parents, he was cool and everybody in music wanted to be on his show.

At the end of each visit, Dick would look at the camera; give us a little salute and say, “For now, Dick Clark ... so long.”

We have said so long to the many of the others, and now we offer a farewell to you.

Harris Blackwood is a Gainesville resident whose columns appear weekly.

Writer brings obituaries to life A friend of mine, who has a penchant for sending along lovely, thoughtful gifts, outdid himself a while back. The contents of the package quickly became one of my favorite gifts ever.

I called him up immediately. “Oh thank you! I can’t recall receiving ever a better gift,” I gushed softly but sincerely. “I dearly love it.”

“If I had known,” he replied quietly, “I would have heard this kind of voice from you, I would have sent it long ago.”

For my voice was different, it was awed and low as a lullaby, similar to that of a child who has found the perfect gift under the tree but is afraid of scaring away Santa.

Now, you might wonder what special gift would bring me to this point, what magic might lie in the simple brown box mailed from an online bookseller, and what words would fill the pages of that book that would so enthrall me.

The answer, I feel certain, will surely startle you.

Once you learn, you’ll probably shrug your shoulders or shake your head.

You might even roll your

Ronda Rich eyes. But that matters not.

For every word of this book has brought me so much joy and fills me with the kind of admiration that makes me want to drop to my knees and bow in the presence of he who wrote it.

It was called “52 McGs: The Best Obituaries from Legendary New York Times writer Robert McG. Thomas, Jr.” I started to flip through the pages, then quietly I sat down on the second step of the staircase and there I began to read.

The writing was excellent as McG expertly drew a colorful picture of extraordinary lives lived by ordinary people. I was mesmerized.

He wrote of Kay Halle, 93, a Cleveland, Ohio, department store heiress who never married but had been proposed to by 64 men, including a youthful Randolph Churchill and an aging Averell Har-

riman.

Then there was Hal Lipset, 78, a San Francisco private detective who was best known as the man who developed an electronic surveillance bug in a martini olive.

David Ludlum, 86, was the nation’s foremost authority on weather; Fred Feldman, 83, was New York’s first helicopter reporter; Sidney Guilaroff, 89, had been an MGM hair stylist and confidante to Marilyn Monroe.

The stories of each person’s life were so beautifully expressed that it was breathing, lilting poetry.

“This,” I thought to myself, “is what every person deserves — his life well told in his obituary.”

For every life has a certain fascination, regardless of how simple it might seem to others.

A childhood friend is an editor at The New York Times. I visited her in the famed news room shortly after reading the book. I gushed with accolades of admiration. “He developed obituary writing into an art form.”

She smiled sweetly, knowingly and nodded her head. “He was the best. A bit cantankerous at times but always a great

reporter and writer.”

The book ends with a particularly notable death notice. McG’s. The headline reads: Robert McG Thomas Jr., 60, Chronicler of UnSung Lives.

Before I read it, I thought how I pitied him who had to write that. But pity quickly turned to admiration because Michael Kaufman certainly held his own.

“He developed a fresh approach to the genre, looking for telling details to illuminate lives that might otherwise have been over looked or under reported.”

“Of course, I go too far,” McG used to say. “But unless you go too far, how are you ever going to find out how far you can go?”

When telling the full story of someone’s life, when writing the final words, there is no such thing as “too far.”

It’s what everyone deserves.

The stories of each person’s life were so beautifully expressed that it was breathing, lilting poetry. ... For every life has a certain fascination, regardless of how simple it might seem to others.

I did 25 pushups – that’s a fact, Jack There’s a scene in the 1981 erotic thriller, “Stripes,” where the main character, played by Bill Murray, is challenged to do five pushups by a friend.

As Bill Murray prepares for this feat of strength by lying face down on the floor, his friend says, “That’s none.”

I bring up this riveting cinematic moment for two reasons: 1. I haven’t made a published reference to “Stripes” in almost four months and it’s killing me; and 2. Don Magee makes Bill Murray look like, well, Bill Murray.

Don Magee is a Lilburn, man who did 3,010 pushups in a day, according to a story published a while back in the Atlanta JournalConstitution. That’s not a misprint – more than 3,000 pushups in a single 24-hour period.

According to the story, Magee said he could have done a few hundred more and he wasn’t sore the next day. In fact, he played golf.

One more thing: Don Magee was 74 years old at the time of this feat. Again, not

Len Robbins a misprint.

Magee, a retired school superintendent, routinely does between 300 and 700 pushups a day, according to the story. Talking about his pushup exploits to others, he heard about former Georgia football great Herschel Walker doing 2,000 pushups a day. On his 70th birthday, Magee matched Walker’s 2,000 and did 10 more.

On his 74th birthday, Magee decided to go for 3,000.

It took him 13 hours.

“I wanted to make a statement that just because you’re old doesn’t mean you can’t do things,” Magee said in the story by Ken Sugiura. “You can stay active.”

Motivated by Magee’s achievements, I decided to try for my own pushup

mark. Being that I’m somewhere between Mr. Magee (3,000 pushups) and Bill Murray’s character in “Stripes” (five) in terms of physical fitness, I decided to split the difference and aimed to complete 25.

My 8-year-old son volunteered to be my witness.

After instructing my son on his duties as a witness to this physical feat – mainly teaching him how to dial 9-1-1 – I lowered myself to the rug.

“Hey, Daddy, why don’t you do one of those pushups where you clap in the middle. I like those,” offered my enthusiastic spotter.

“Sure,” I said, forgetting that I was an idiot.

So I raised my torso quickly, pushing my hands to the middle in an attempt to clap. Before I could clap and safely get my hands back on the rug, though, the weight of the aforementioned torso, which I underestimated, forced my face into the rug before my hands could resume their proper position. The “splat” noise was accompanied by pain to my nose,

face, neck, head, chest and upper body region.

Twenty minutes later, refreshed by Doritos, Mr. Pibb and some amateur rhinoplasty, I got back on the rug to finish the drill.

With my son as my cheerleader and the power of prayer, I completed the task – 25 pushups in 20 minutes.

The next day, I didn’t play golf. I watched golf.

Don Magee did 3,010 pushups in 780 minutes, or 3.85 a minute. I did 25 in 20 minutes – 1.3 a minute (I took a two-minute break between 18 and 19; and a five-minute break between 24 and 25). At that rate, at roughly half his age, it would take me 2,315 minutes to do 3,010 pushups, or 38 hours.

That said, I think I’ll wait until I’m 74 to give 3,000 a try.

Earth Day in Hoschton: Recycle or try to resell it Women’s Civic Club fares well with its efforts

By RAMONA GRACE EVANS revans@clickthepaper.com Many flocked to the City Square in Hoschton for the first Earth Day community yard sale this past Saturday.

Planned and executed by Cindy George and Karen Butler of City Hall, the two were pleasantly surprised by the amount of foot traffic brought to the city’s center.

“We wanted to bring awareness of the different recycling opportunities available for no-longer-needed goods,” they said.

At $15 for a two-parking-space area, citi-

Ramona Grace Evans The Paper

Bringing people to City Square was part of the motivation for Hoschton City Hall organizing the Earth Day commuinty yard sale and electronic recycling event. City Administrator Cindy George said a first-year success is incentive to make plans for another event. Several members of the Hoschton Women’s Civic Club, right, agreed. zens took this opportunity to turn their spring cleaning discards into cash. Some chose to take their unsold items back home while others took advantage of the Peace Place and Humane Society of Jackson County’s donation pick-up for their charities.

In the spirit of Earth Day, the electronic recycling was a hit, affording participants a chance to get rid of unwanted electronics the proper, environmentally-friendly way.

Fundraising for Relay For Life

LeAnne Akin The Paper

Martha Martin and Dee Lavender of the Hometown Community Bank Relay For Life team were among those preparing BBQ chicken plates for an April 20 fundraiser for Relay. As another part of fundraising for the May 4-5 Relay For Life, a drawing will be held for a Summer Fun Package. The winner will have an opportunity to win one of three prizes. Available for the choosing will be a His & Her Getaway to spent a night at Chateau Elan, enjoying a deluxe overnight room in the Inn at Château Élan, with breakfast for two the following morning in the Versailles Restaurant and more. Another option is a week’s stay at three-bedroom, two-bath peaceful mountain retreat in Franklin, N.C. The third option is a $100 gas card. Get your ticket for $10 or get three for $20. The drawing will be at midnight on May 4 at Relay For Life of Braselton-Hoschton being held at Hoschton Park. Make plans to attend Relay For Life, which officially begins at 7 p.m. May 4. Cancer survivors have a special invitation. Visit www.relayforlife.org for more details about the fundraiser.

Among the sellers was the Hoschton Women’s Civic Club that meets monthly at Hoschton’s historic depot. The group raised more than $300 for their general fund. The women spoke about the projects that their fundraising efforts have already provided for such as the city Christmas lights, historic signs and updated shutters for the depot. The club members say they hope to utilize their revenue to start the first ever city-wide quilt trail, mirroring the wooden quilt on their meeting place.

Cindy George pronounced the event to be an overall success.

“The Women’s Club was very happy to not have to pack anything back up! Some of us donated everything that was left, some donated part and some packed up the leftovers to try again another day. I think everyone came away happy. I think we should do it again next year.”

This event furthered the efforts of City Hall to bring foot traffic and commerce to City Square.

Jefferson swept by Titans Monday

By MATT MAUNEY mmauney@clickthepaper.com BOGART — The Jefferson High baseball team plagued itself with errors Monday night as it dropped both games of a double header to North Oconee in the second round of the Region 8-AA tournament.

Jefferson will now play the loser of the Hart County-Elbert County series Friday to decide the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds out of the region for the state playoffs. Hart and Elbert split a double header Monday and played Game 3 of the series Tuesday

after press time.

Jefferson clinched a spot in the Class AA state playoffs last week by taking a three-game series with Banks County.

The Dragons committed seven errors in their pair of games with North Oconee Monday and the Jefferson pitching staff walked nine Titan batters on the night as JHS fell 3-1 in Game 1 before suffering a 10-1 defeat in Game 2.

“It was definitely not our best night,” said Jefferson coach Tommy Knight.

“We didn’t play well defensively and I credit them. They played well and we didn’t.”

North Oconee took Game 1 without an earned run, capitalizing on Jefferson mistakes. The Titans carried that momentum into the second game, scoring four runs in the first as the Dragons committed three errors in the inning.

Jefferson went 0-2 against Elbert County in the regular season, while they split the series with Hart County. As the No. 4 seed from the South, the Dragons will take to the road for Friday’s series.

“We just have to get back to work and be ready to play no matter who it is,” Knight said. “We would certainly rather play a No. 2 seed at state than a one.”

Mill Creek boys win region, girls take second From staff reports HOSCHTON — The Mill Creek boys’ and girls’ track teams will be sending a handful of athletes to sectionals this weekend in Tifton.

The Mill Creek boys repeated as Region 7-AAAAA champions after accumulating 158 points at the region championships last week, finishing well ahead of second-place Norcross (126.5) and third-place Collins Hill (93.5).

The Hawks dominated relay and sprinting events Friday to help lift them to their second consecutive region title.

The 4x400 team of Zac Davis, Alonzo Collins, Michael Cheeks and Jordan Marshall took first with a time of 42.01 seconds. The same foursome, with Dylan Russell replacing Marshall, also placed first in the 4x400, with a time of 3:23.18.

Davis won the 400-meter dash (49.07), beating out Cheeks (49.37) and Collins Hill’s Tunde Hambolu (49.82). Marshall finished first in the 100- and 200-meter dash, with Davis finishing second in the 200.

AMA Big Kahuna event wows fans at Road Atlanta over weekend From staff reports BRASELTON — Reigning AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike Champion Josh Hayes responded to rival Blake Young’s shocking Saturday victory with a Road Atlanta triumph of his own to conclude the Triumph Big Kahuna Atlanta presented by Dunlop Tire and Leo Vince.

While Young’s wins are almost always taken in dramatic fashion (and none more so than yesterday’s), Hayes’ more often come in the form of domination.

The Monster Energy Graves Yamaha star imposed his will on the field on

Sunday early, breaking the Yoshimura Racing Suzuki pilot’s pursuit with a string of blisteringly quick laps while still in the race’s developing stages. Hayes pushed his No. 1 Yamaha YZF-R1 around the 2.55mile circuit with a string of laps faster than his pole time, including a 1:24.922, which stood as nearly a half-second better than his qualifying best.

Hayes worked his advantage up at a clip around a half-second per lap during the stretch, ultimately pushing his margin of victory to 5.214 seconds in the one-sided affair.

After scoring Yamaha’s first-ever AMA

Pro National Guard SuperBike victory at Road Atlanta, the weekend’s ‘Big Kahuna’ said, “I’m excited about it. This has always been a pretty good track for me and I’ve always had pretty good speed here. I’m glad to be able to put one together this afternoon and put some good strong laps down. ”Yesterday’s race was the first time we came in and did a good debrief and tried to make some improvements. This morning I rode the bike and thought it was the right direction to go. We decided to stick with it for the race and we were able to put down some good laps.

Jefferson girls take third at Region 8-AA championships JEFFERSON — The Jefferson High girls’ track team took third place with 73 points last week at the Region 8AA championships, held at Memorial Stadium in Jefferson.

North Oconee ran away with the team title for the girls with 170 points, while Hart County finished second with 98 team points.

The Lady Dragons didn’t have any first place finishes, but consistent performances in the top five helped lift Jefferson to third over fourth-place Oglethorpe County (55 points).

Mill Creek boys, girls take No. 2 state seed at region

By MATT MAUNEY mmauney@clickthepaper.com HOSCHTON — Both Mill Creek tennis teams fell in the championship finals of the Region 7-AAAAA tournament Friday at Hamilton Mill.

The boys fell to No. 1 seed Collins Hill 3-0, while the girls fell 3-0 to top seed Peachtree Ridge. The Hawks and Lady Hawks took No. 2 seeds into the 5-A state tournament, where both teams hosted

Grayson, the No. 3 seed from Region 8 (boys and girls) Tuesday. For complete results and coverage of Tuesday’s matches, visit ClickThePaper.com.

“Both teams played hard today and I’m proud of them,” said Mill Creek head coach Tim Schroer after the region finals loss.

“We faced two really good teams today.”

On the boys side, Quentin Lavender played a close match with Collins Hill’s No. 1 singles player Chris Clark. Lavender went up 3-1 in the first set before falling

4-6. He then dropped the second set by the same score.

The match concluded when the No. 2 doubles team of J.J. Needham and Jake Foley fell 3-6, 1-6 and the No. 2 singles player Adam Gonterman fell 1-6, 1-6. The No. 1 doubles team of Brad Adkins and Travis Haynes held strong, leading 4-2 in the second set when the match was called.

Adkins and Haynes took the first set 6-3.

High school tennis

kahuna from page 1B ”It’s not how I expected the race to go — I expected a race a lot like yesterday.

It’s a lot easier on my ticker to be able to get away a little bit and ride by myself.”

Young was pulled free of the remainder of the group in his early chase of Hayes and rode a lonely race from there. He did his best to stay in touch with his title rival and was rewarded with a second-place points haul in the end. The result was a relatively welcome one considering Young’s Sunday chances came under threat when he felt something wrong with his racebike on the warm-up lap. ”I was a little bit sore when I woke up this morning, but I got warmed up and stretched out and felt pretty good by the time I got on the bike this morning,” Young said. “I was

ready for the race but we had a little bit of drama with the bike when I rolled out. I had to come in and get the other bike and was just happy they let me grid up in the second spot this time instead of putting me on the back row.

“I found it a little difficult to settle in and it just took a minute for Josh to click off some quick laps and get his gap. There wasn’t much I could really do with it then.”

Hayes’ second victory of the season has catapulted him back in front of Young in the 2012 AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike title fight, 116-110.

The next leg of the Big Kahuna series will be the Big Kahuna Miami at Homestead Miami Speedway Sept. 21-23.

Mill CREEK TENNIS from page 1B

Record setting season for MCHS matches they’ve played all season, and it gave us an opportunity, going deep in three sets,” Schroer said.

Schroer went on to point out that with a win, the match could have shifted, with No. 2 doubles Abbi Jordan and Natalie Martinez down a set but hanging close with their opponents, which they beat earlier this season. No. 3 singles player Lauren Atkinson was down 3-4 in the first set to Jenna Kelly when the match went final.

“They’ve got a really solid team and were by far the best team in the region,” Schroer said of Peachtree Ridge. “Our girls fought

hard and we had some close matches.”

Now, both Mill Creek teams will focus on the state tournament and a home match with an unfamiliar, although in-county opponent in Grayson.

“We don’t know too much about them, but we just have to focus on us and keep doing the things that got us here,” Schroer said.

This season marks the first time that both Mill Creek teams reached the region finals.

The No. 2 state seed is the highest in school history for the boys, while the girls took a region runner-up finish last season, losing to Peachtree Ridge.

Teams poised for sectionals Saturday The Mill Creek boys established themselves as contenders Thursday by having solid showings in the field events.

The Hawks held second place in the team standings at the end of day one, with 60 points. Norcross led after the first day with 70.5 points.

Trevor Joyce continued his stellar senior season throwing by placing first in the discus (142-11) and the shot put (49-10.5).

Lewis placed first in the long jump, with a finals lead of 21-10.5. Christian Wilson couldn’t top Peachtree Ridge standout Matthew Morris in the pole vault, but his vault of 13-06 was enough for second place.

On the girls’ side, the Lady Hawks also used a solid first day en route to their second place finish. Malayshia George took the top spot in the girls high jump with a jump of 5-06 feet. Sisters Larsen and Quen Moore

placed first and second, respectively in the pole vault, with identical vaults of 8-06.

While the Mill Creek throwers didn’t take home an individual title, two punched tickets to sectionals. Kelsey Gray placed second in the discus (115 feet) while Dami Agboola placed second in the shot put (3802.75).

On day two, George followed her strong first day with wins in the 100- (12.49) and 200- (24.7) and 400-meter (54.2) dash.

Shanon Jordan finished third in the 300 hurdles (46.94).

The 4x400 relay team of Tara Mayfield, Temi Bolutayo, Avery Graham and Emily Robertson took first with a time of 4:00.84.

Both Mill Creek teams will be looking for another strong showing this Saturday at the Class AAAAA GHSA Sectionals East at Tift County High School in Tifton.

8-AA TRACK from page 1B

Spry bright mark for Jackson Co. Carson finished second and third in the girls’ pole vault and Jaclyn Coleman and Racel Goza finished fourth and fifth in the long jump.

The Lady Dragons held strong in distance running events, with Reese Bowles and Sasha Parker placing third and fourth in the 3200-meter run, respectively. Bowles also placed third in the 1600-meter, coming in at 5:40.95. Holly Baron earned her team six points with a third-place showing in the 800, coming in at 2:33.57.

Jefferson’s 4x400 girls’ relay team took fourth with a time of 4:18.35, earning six points.

Mariah Spry was the bright point for the Jackson County girls’ team. The Lady Panthers finished 10th out of 12 teams with 18 points, but Spry took third in the 100-meter dash (13.31) and a fourth place showing in the 200 (27.51).

On the boys’ side, North Oconee also took top team honors with 117 points, with Oglethorpe County finishing just behind with 116 and Elbert County coming in third with 107. The Jefferson boys’ team placed sixth (46) with rival Jackson County in seventh with 35 points.

Carson Newman was the highlight for Jefferson, along with pole vaulters Mason Hamrick and James Howard. Newman took top honors in the discus with a throw of 141-02 while Hamrick and Howard placed second and third, respectively in the vault. Hamrick missed repeating as region champ in the vault, as Hart County’s Jared Scotland took first with his vault of 14-feet. Hamrick tied his personal best of 13-06 while Howard vaulted 13-feet.

In the running events, Josh Reid finished fourth for Jefferson in the 800 with a time of 2:05.74.

For Jackson County, Reno Messler placed fourth in the discus (124) and eighth in the shot put (43-01). Other highlights for the Panthers in the meet were Layson Giles’ third-place showing in the high jump (5-10) and Johan Reynolds win in the 300-meter hurdles (40.28).

Reynolds also placed fourth in the 110 hurdles (15.72). Freshman Todd Woodring finished fifth in the 400-meter dash, coming in at 52.6 seconds.

Qualifying athletes will compete in the Class AA East Sectionals in Barnesville Saturday for a spots in the state championship meets in May.

Jefferson teams take 3 seed BOGART — It was a similar path with a similar result for the Jefferson High tennis teams Thursday in the Region 8-AA tennis tournament at North Oconee High School.

Both Jefferson teams fell to the No. 1-seeded North Oconee teams in the semifinals to set up consolation final matches with Hart County.

The Jefferson boys beat Hart 3-1, while the Lady Dragons won 3-0. The wins clinch both Jefferson teams a No. 3 seed in the Class AA state tournament, where the boys faced Calhoun and the girls faced Armuchee High Tuesday in the first round.

Both matches were on the road, as Calhoun and Armuchee hold the No. 2 seed from Region 7-AA. For match results and coverage, visit ClickThePaper.com.

“I thought both teams played very well today,” said JHS coach Michael Paul. “We got matched up with the best team in the region in the second round and that found us in the consolations, but in my opinion, the best two teams were playing in that second round.”

The boys took the Hart match with 6-0, 6-0 wins from No. 1 singles Zach Bost and No. 2 singles Gage

Thompson and a 6-2, 6-1 win from the No. 1 doubles team of Jordan Tyler and Jackson Howard. The No. 2 doubles team of Austin Pratt and Brandon Clabo were up a set, but did not finish play due to tournament rules.

The Lady Dragons clinched third with wins from Taylor Bost (No. 1 singles; 6-1, 6-3) and Tristan McGarity (No. 2 singles; 60, 6-3). The No. 1 doubles team of Amanda Burgamy and Chelsea Runkel (4-6, 64, 6-3) closed out the match with back-to-back hard fought wins after dropping the first set.

“Our girls played well all day and I have no complaints whatsoever,” Paul said. “I saw our best tennis out of every kid today, and that’s what you want when it comes time for the region tournament.”

Both Jefferson teams fell to top-seeded North Oconee 3-0 in the semis, but there were some highlights to be had for JHS. Bost got redemption on the Titans’ No. 1 singles player Peter Bertran, taking the first set and having match point on the second before the match was called when North Oconee earned its third team point.

Bost, an Appalachian State commitment, lost to

Bertran earlier this season for the lone loss of his high school career.

“This was probably the best I’ve ever seen him play,” Paul said of Bost. “He had a score to settle and I thought he came in with the right mind set and took care of business early.”

After dropping the first set, Thompson battled back against North Oconee’s No. 2 singles and looked to have the second set well in hand before the match was called.

To open the day, the Jefferson boys took care of East Hall 3-0, while the girls handled Dawson County 30. Both teams will now turn their attention to the state tournament. Though they won’t know their opponent until Friday, Paul knows that his teams will have their work cut out for them, having to travel for an away match.

“Obviously we would like to have a match at home, but being a (No. 3 seed) is much better than a (No. 4 seed), because you aren’t faced with facing the top team in a region,” Paul said. “Sometimes that top team is really solid, while there is sometimes a dropoff when you go to the second best team in the region.

We’d rather play a 2 seed than the 1 seed.”

Celebrating two centuries Academy Baptist Church to mark 200th anniversary on Sunday

LeAnne Akin The Paper

“Celebrating 200 Years -- A Continuing Mission” is the theme of the special occasion as Academy Baptist Church celebrates its 200th anniversary on Sunday with Sunday school at 10 a.m., special music at 10:30 a.m. and the worship service at 11. A covered dish lunch will follow the service.

Compiled by Janie Love Early records tell us that Academy Church was constituted in 1810. However, a granite slab marker outside the church at the present time has the following inscription, “Academy Missionary Baptist Church Established in 1812.” Minutes of the Sarepta Association give us information to verify these dates. In 1811 no new church was added to the Association. In 1812 two unnamed, newly constituted churches were added. In 1813, the body voted to have the next annual meeting at Academy in Jackson County and in 1814, the meeting was held at Academy meeting house. Therefore, the church was constituted in 1810 and one of the two churches added to the Association in 1812 was Academy.

We do know that the church was dedicated in 1810 with Rev. Drury Hutchins presiding.

He served as pastor for a number of succeeding years. He was the great-grandfather of L. E. Roberts, who was ordained by the church in 1894 and who preached his first sermon

there. He belonged to the Roberts family often mentioned in this history.

Academy is the fourth oldest Baptist Church in Jackson County. Oconee was founded in 1788, Cabin Creek was established in 1796, Black’s Creek was built in 1803 and Academy was constituted in 1810.

A man named Jared Cunningham led in the founding of Academy Church. He came to Georgia from Virginia and settled at a location named YAMTRAHOOCHEE (now Hurricane Shoals) on the ETOHO River (now the North Oconee River). While living there he attended Oconee Baptist Church.

He then decided to move westward in the county and settled on the ITHLOBEE River (now Middle Oconee River). He began making plans for a new church which he located near his homestead. It was a common belief that Baptist Churches needed plenty of water.

So the Church known as Academy was built near three bold springs and a river. One of the springs provided water for the baptismal pool which was built near the Church.

The next official information about Acad-

emy Church is a deed issued in 1818. James Appleby to Edward Adams and Joseph Davis, deacons of Academy, and their successors …

James Appleby doth agree to relinquish, for the use of Academy Church, all rights, title and interest unto a certain lot of land containing 5 acres, more or less, including the Academy meeting house. This is the plot of land still owned by the Church.

Unfortunately, many of the old church records have been misplaced and some may have been destroyed by fire. Little is known about the oldest Church but some unofficial records state that it was destroyed by fire.

In 1872, J. N. Coile was called as pastor at Academy. The following article entitled, “A year at Academy” published in the Christian Index was written by Rev. Coile. He says, “The church had been in a cold state for several years and had become divided in sentiment and feelings. With the church in this condition, I took charge of it the first of the year. The Sabbath School was about dead.

They now have a flourishing school which was organized last spring and meets every

Sunday. A prayer meeting is well attended once a week. We met on Friday before the second Sunday in August. The meeting was protracted for a week and it was my happy privilege to immerse twenty-one new converts. At the same time the brethren decided to build a new house of worship and they raised, by subscription, one thousand dollars.

We should be encouraged to pray, preach, and labor in the Sunday School for the Good Lord will bless his people.” J.N. Coile 1872.

This is the beginning of the church building in which services are still held today.

Records in the Jackson County Courthouse state the date of August 1874 as the time the church was built. Another record states that Stephen Roberts, James Roberts, William Roberts and L. J. Hutchins paid the amount of $60 for the church and the school.

Also, in 1874, another deed gives us this information. This indenture made August 11, 1874 between James Roberts on the one part and J.L. Harrison, Stephen Roberts and P.J.

Garden club is growing friendships

By LEANNE AKIN lakin@clickthepaper.com Lya Sorano’s love of sharing her knowledge as a Master Gardener with her Braselton neighbors was part of her inspiration for becoming a founding member of the Mulberry Park Garden Club.

That club, which will hold its second annual plant sale starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday in Duncan Corners, was inspired by Sorano to make friendships bloom along with the flowers.

After Sorano suffered a stroke last September, club secretary Catherine Cosenza and another club member took care of Sorano’s huge number of potted plants over the winter. To involve Sorano in the upcoming plant sale, cuttings were taken of her plants and nurtured throughout the winter.

During that time, Cosenza’s mother, who was also recovering from a stroke, got involved in rooting and transplanting those cuttings to keep her connected to her gardening hobby which she loves in her native Pennsylvania. From her gardens is where Cosenza has gotten many of her plants, including some she

Lya Sorano will be at the plant sale on Saturday and plants grown from her Coleus, left, which overwintered at the home of a fellow garden club member will be for sale with other selections.

will share on Saturday. “[Lya] just returned to her home Easter weekend, and the day she returned home, three of us garden club members all got together and spruced up her outdoor gardens…and returned her plants to her patio and porches,” said Cosenza. “It was a great experience to come together as a group to love on her like this – a great Welcome Home from her green thumb partners.”

Saturday’s plant sale will find Sorano back alongside her fellow Mulberry Park Garden Club members. The plant sale will be at 7416 Spout Springs Road in Flowery Branch, a location providing for good exposure.

“Dr. Kim Miller of the Miller Family Wellness Center is offering use of their property for the plant sale which will be held rain or shine,” said Cosenza.

“We’ll have a great variety of plants that the garden club members have been growing for sale nicluding various types of annuals, perennials, herbs and even some indoor plants,” said Cosenza.

Other offerings will include Hostas, Coleus, Daylilies, Spearmint, Thyme, Hyacinth Bean Vine, Crepe Myrtle Trees, Beauty Berry Shrubs, Amarantha, Black Eyed Susans, Daisies and Dill are just a few to mention.

Hamilton State Bank supports Friends of the Braselton Library May 2 is E-Vent to Remember; Lunch & Learn is May 9 at Sell Mill Park

Brandon Simmons presented Judee McMurdo and the Friends of the Braselton-West Jackson Library with a check for $1,000.

Hamilton State Bank’s contributions have allowed for the organization to fund the café with donor funds, leaving all fundraising money in pocket, said McMurdo.

Upcoming events

The Friends of the Braselton-West Jackson Library learned April 11 that the organization is in the black.

Presenting the annual treasury report at the April 11 Lunch & Learn, treasurer Roy Fulkerson said he was pleased to announce that the budget for the 12 months ending in March was $6,002 to the good. The Friends’ income was $28,944 and expenses came to $22,942.

The bulk of income came directly from fundraising efforts by the organization including the AfterWords Café, book sales, Lunch & Learns, membership, etc. Disappointingly, contributions only amounted to less than 20 percent of their earnings. Resident Janie Holbrook inquired about the absence of grant money for the organization. President Judee McMurdo said the group has been unsuccessful in receiving grants from the stack of submitted applications.

With such a worthy cause in promoting literacy, several local businesses

The Friends of the Braselton-West Jackson Library are calling for more support and contributions from individuals and businesses. Often times, citizens overlook the needs of the library.

Next month’s Lunch & Learn on Wednesday, May 9, will be the annual Bring-Your-Own-Lunch Picnic at Sell Mill Park in Hoschton. Bring your own lunch and your own chair. The Friends will supply lemonade, tea and water as well as homemade desserts. For reservations, call Judee McMurdo at 706654-4822. Bill Sell, a decendent of the original mill property owners, will to present the history of the mill to those in attendance.

On May 2, the organization will host its “E-vent to Remember” with a Kindle Fire giveaway.

BREVET from page 3B

Charity ride needs volunteers to make it successful advice from others. He talked with the owner of a bike shop that was formerly located in Hoschton and he found out that a family member of the owner passed away from Aplastic Anemia — what a surprise, and what a connection!

They decided to hold a charity bike ride — a Brevet to be held in Jackson County.

Robert said he believed it was a superb idea because there are several cycling events in the Atlanta area, but none in Jackson County.

A ride is a great way to introduce a new course to cyclists. It also brings many new people to the area to show what Jackson County has to offer and it will raise funds for treatment for people living with Aplastic Anemia.

Robert has also received tremendous support from Hoschton Mayor Erma Denney. “Erma is truly a selfless person who has helped me raise more awareness about my wife’s disease,” Robert said. Erma was a cyclist before she became mayor and saw the Brevet as an opportunity to raise

awareness about several things — and to get back into cycling. She not only wants to raise awareness about Aplastic Anemia, she wants to build tolerance in the community for cyclists so everyone accepts sharing the road. Promoting bicycle safety and encouraging people to get involved in a family-friendly and healthy activity that can be done for a lifetime. She even bikes to the monthly mayors’ luncheon to raise bicycle safety awareness.

Erma even invited Robert to speak at Georgia Rides To The Capitol, an event that ensures the roads will accommodate everyone, including cyclists, protects the legal rights of cyclists and secures a fair share of funding for bicycle facilities.

That event was another factor that helped Erma start cycling again. Robert discussed the Jackson County Brevet to raise awareness for the great cause.

June 16, 2012 is the date for the third annual Jackson County Brevet, and Robert has high expectations for this year, especially since

these riders represent the largest fundraising group for Aplastic Anemia in the United States. There were 600 riders in 2010 and 1,000 in 2011, and he says he hopes to have at least 1,500 this year. This means there is a great need for volunteers to make this event happen. Robert hopes that the amount of money raised increases each year, so that researchers have the funds to create new and effective treatment for people with Aplastic Anemia, like his wife Kelly.

There are ways for anyone to get involved in the Jackson County Brevet.

People of all ages can participate. There is a familyfriendly bike ride of five miles in which even young children can ride.

If you are up for a challenge, there are bike rides of 22 miles, 39 miles, 64 miles and a 100-mile bike ride. Riders will have food,

drinks, rest stops, support and gear (SAG), and vehicles driving around the courses for mechanical and basic support.

There are also practice rides to build endurance and base miles in a controlled environment — an average speed of 16 mph.

One took place April 14 and it was a success. If you weren’t able to attend, there will be another one on May 19.

ACADEMY from page 3B

Anniversary is Sunday Roberts, Trustees of the property named and held for the purpose of worshipping at Academy Church. In consideration of one dollar James Roberts gives all rights and title to a certain plot of land.

Records at the Jackson County Tax Office give 4 acres as the amount of land owned by Academy. After some research at the Jackson County Courthouse, two deeds were found granting acreage to the church – one by James Appleby in 1818 and another by James Roberts in 1874.

The church voted to have a survey made of the property and, as a result of that survey, the church legally owns 8.86 acres of land.

Even though the building was constructed more than 150 years ago, the exterior of the structure remains the same today except for the addition of three Sunday School rooms and two bathrooms. In 2005, Melba Hanson, a former member at Academy and the great-granddaughter of Stephen Roberts, died. Her family made a generous contribution to the church in her memory. The money was used to put vinyl siding on the exterior of the building.

The interior structure has not been changed except the original floors were replaced with hardwood flooring many years ago. The overhead is ceiled with 8” hand planed boards and the walls are also the original 10” hand planed boards.

The step-up pulpit is adorned with carefully skilled Victorian fan design architecture. It remains as exotic today as when constructed.

The same pews made from wide planed boards are used today. Padded cushions have been added for comfort.

In the overhead ceiling near the pulpit area, there is a square covered area which covers a hole in the ceiling through which the pipe from the wood burning stove passed up through the roof. This heat source was replaced by gas space heaters and recently a central heating and air system was installed.

Interior improvements through the years are the installation of stained glass windows, ceiling fans, air conditioners and electric lights to replace the old kerosene lanterns hanging from the ceiling.

Three antique chairs still sit in the pulpit. They were donated by Julia Roberts Williams of Greenville, S.C. She was the daughter of James Roberts who was influential in the building and maintenance of the Church throughout his lifetime.

In 2008, Cain Thurmond chose as a Boy Scout project the restoration of the historical baptismal pool at Academy Church. The pool has not been used for many years. The last person baptized there was Marian Davis Porter, the grandmother of Cain. Cain is also the grandson of the late Storey Porter, a long time deacon at Academy.

Since the Church was constituted in 1810, it has gone through many difficult times. But according to Sarepta Association minutes, it has been in continuous operation. It became a member of the Association in 1812 and has continued its membership until the present time. Academy is also affiliated with the Georgia Baptist Convention.

Feeling smothered by wheelchair-bound boyfriend Dear Margo: I am engaged to a wonderful guy who has multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair. He can no longer work due to his condition and is home all day. He helps take care of the house, the pets, etc., and I work full time. This arrangement is fine with me.

The only problem is: I have absolutely no time to myself. He expects me to be home and with him every second that I’m not working.

If I go into another room to be alone for a while, he’ll come in to see what I am doing.

Occasionally, I make time to see my friends. He always wants to come along, which is fine most of the time, but sometimes I just want “girl time.”

This always leads to an argument, as he is absolutely miserable when I come home. He insists that I call him (on speakerphone) while I am driving to and from work, and he wants to talk to me for at least 15 minutes of my half-hour lunch break.

Dear Margo Unfortunately, most of his friends have disappeared since he’s been in the wheelchair, so I do feel bad for him.

But how can I make him understand that I need time to myself? My nerves are frayed, and I find myself getting snappy with him. I’d hate to break up over this issue, but I feel smothered.

— Frazzled Dear Fraz: Consciously or not, your fiance is using his illness to control you. You need to have a serious talk where you lay down new guidelines. While I understand where his demanding behavior comes from, it is not healthy, and you need not put up with it.

Tell your wonderful guy

that you’re sure he’d want to be treated as a normal boyfriend, and not as someone who’s ill; therefore, you are no longer going to let him dictate to you.

The demand for talking while driving is not only pushy; it’s dangerous. And setting a 15-minute talk at lunch is nuts. Tell him if he does not adjust (perhaps with therapy) to your having “girl time,” as well as time for yourself at home, you will have to rethink the relationship. If you continue this way, it will eventually wear thin and fall apart. — Margo, normally Dear Margo: Our family is Midwestern and middleclass. We were raised with what we needed, but there was not money for luxuries.

When I married, it was to a guy from a similar background. We are very happy and are raising our two sons as we were raised.

My sister, however, got a scholarship and went east to school. She married a boy

from a rich family, and now her husband is in the family business, and they are living high on the hog.

She seems not to remember where she came from or understand that we can’t do what they can. She asked if we wanted to go with them to England for a horse auction! How much of a discussion should I have with her?

— Just Plain Old Me Dear Just: I think a simple sentence will do it. “We really don’t have money for that.” If your sister is clueless now, it will probably only get worse.

Your sister’s situation is not unheard of. Some people remember where they came from, and others would just as soon forget. I hope your understanding of what’s going on takes away the agitation. — Margo, earthily Dear Margo: I am trying to figure out whether to break up with my amazing long-term boyfriend. The short of it is he has very suddenly (like on a trip home

WORKING IT OUT

one weekend without me) decided he wants kids, after telling me for the longest time that he would be happy either way.

As for me, I am deeply undecided on the issue, and despite having tried to badger myself into wanting what he wants, I can’t seem to do it. I don’t rule children out, and the idea of adopting appeals to me on an intellectual level.

But all the arguments I’ve heard for having children seem pretty sentimental, while the ones against seem more rational.

He is saying this is “not a deal breaker” for him. I have attempted to tease out why he feels this way, and what he says boils down to his being incredibly happy with me and children being something he doesn’t need “right now.” It’s this latter thing that worries me.

If he broke up with me over this issue, I would feel that he was prioritizing a potential relationship with someone who doesn’t even exist over me. It’s the sud-

denness of my boyfriend’s decision that has thrown me for a loop. — Spooked Dear Spook: Reading between the lines, I would venture that, right now, you do not see yourself as a mother, and you believe he will love you less if he loves a child.

While I find your thinking about primacy and different kinds of love unrealistic and perhaps competitive, these are your thoughts, and I respect that.

For now, until both of you figure out what you do want, I would coast. Time has a way of revealing answers that often seem unknowable. I do feel strongly, however, that the issue must be resolved before you move to the next phase. — Margo, decisively Dear Margo is written by Margo Howard, Ann Landers’ daughter.

Celebrate May Day at the Crawford W. Long Museum For The Paper The Crawford Long Museum will hold its first afterhours Wisdom in a Workshop from 6-7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 1, featuring Posy Storey Henson, President of the Jefferson Garden Club.

Make a flower-filled basket for a friend. The tradition of the ancient Roman and Druid holidays of May Day has endured for centuries. It has been a celebration of spring turning into the pleasures of summer. Traditionally, a “Maypole” was the focus of the festivals. Even today, the Maypole is used in the replications of old-time festivals.

The Maypole is a tall pole in which ribbons are woven around by groups of dancers to make unique designs and patterns.

Gathering flowers and branches became a tradition and “bringing in the May” became a popular activity on May 1. The giving of baskets became part of the festivities later in the evolution of May Day. Today, baskets are often made by little children, filled with candy or flowers and then placed on people’s doorsteps or tied to the door handle.

Glean fascinating bits of wisdom from Posy about the history and folklore of May Day and create a May Basket to take home. Pre-registration required and all supplies will be provided. Cost is $10 for Museum members and $12 for non-members.

For reservations, call the museum at 706-367-5307.

Museum operating hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on and Saturdays.
