The Farmers’ Market at Blackburn Park cost the Coun- ty--rather the taxpayers--in excess of an estimated $5,000 ac- cording to my open records request. It was a bad location be- cause it was too far from town, in a low traffi c area. The result? Wasteful and impractical. Boondoggling, yes. Ask any farmer who participated, if you can fi nd one, or any tax paying citizen who went there, if you can fi nd one. 2. Two years ago Lumpkin County had a proposal to com- bine the Recycling Center and the Transfer Station. This would have saved Lumpkin County an estimated $79,000 per year and produced $1,000 to $3,000 per year income. Commis- sion Chairman Dr. Raber and Commissioner Scott were 100 percent for this proposal. A motion was made by Commis- sioner Stowers to postpone the decision for 90 days, the 90 days turned into 120, and the proposal was withdrawn. The result? The only entities benefi ting from this decision, as far as I can see, are North Georgia Resource Management

Rich By Sharon Hall The Nugget Fourteen-year-old Joseph Head took Dixie on an ambitious project to earn his Eagle Divas Scout rank and succeeded beyond his expectations. Head’s goal for his Coats and Cans project was to collect 4,000 pounds of non-perishable food, 100 coats and 100 hats. He planned to donate the proceeds of his Appalachian efforts to Unseen Hand Ministries, an all- volunteer group that has been distributing food and other necessities as well as gently Christmas used clothing in Lumpkin County since 2009. hen Mama was a small Head began the project in early October. girl growing up in the By mid-December, he had collected 4,721 WNimblewill Valley in the pounds of food, 474 coats and 133 hats.

He also view of Christmas gifts for the rest exceeded his goal of of his life. “Bunch of foolishness,” he collecting coats and often said about exchanging gifts. hats for the ministry. Practical man that he was, though, when his kids insisted on giving him gifts, he asked only for necessities like underwear and socks. One year when he needed a new pasture fence, he, in an unusual manner, embraced the tradition of exchanging gifts. “I want bob wire,” he said, using the rural slang for barbed wire. We laughed off the request but his green eyes sparked with deep seriousness. “Do you know how much a roll costs? I’ve got to put in a new fence at the farm. It’s what I need.” So, on that memorable Christmas day, Ralph Satterfi eld was gifted with enough rolls of barbed wire to build his fence. It was the only Christmas where I saw his eyes dance with pure joy over gifts. When Tink suggested that we not exchange gifts this year, I was unruffl ed by it. “That’s fi ne,” I said, smiling. “I have Christmas every day.” For it’s true. Unlike my parents back in those days, I can buy a new dress that I fancy if I’m willing to spend the money or whatever groceries we want. A day or two later, I decided to take a page from my parents’ book. “I need a new pair of running shoes,” I said. My others have holes in the soles and are coming apart It was sticky fi ngers and gobbled goodies at at the seams. “And I need some lip Lumpkin County Library’s annual Gingerbread balm.” I fi gured that I was going to House Workshop Saturday.

NOTEBOOK Shortened tests still revealing

Rain cut short the second and final day of testing of the 2013 Sprint Cup cars at Charlotte Motor Speedway last week, but Kasey Kahne in the No. 5 Chevrolet from Hendrick Motorsports did manage to turn a lap at 193.771 miles per hour. That was a tick faster than the track record of 193.708 mph set by Greg Biffle in October. “It felt fast, and I knew where my throttle was, so I knew it was as fast as I have ever been around this track,” Kahne said. “I just think this car goes around the corner quicker.” The speeds have many in the sport speculat- ing that NASCAR officials will make changes to slow the cars before the start of the season. Bobby Labonte said his single-car No. 47 Toyota team, led by crew chief Brian Burns, made progress at the test. “There are a lot of little things we are trying to figure out on the new car,” he said. “There are different nuisances we didn’t have with the other car. The rear camber issue; we’re just try- ing to get it all figured out. “This is the only car we have. So, we will go to the wind tunnel with it when we leave here and learn as much as we can. The biggest difference is the back of the car with the camber. With more camber in it, it’s more secure back to the throttle than what I was used to having last year.” Aric Almirola, driver of the No. 43 for Richard Petty Motorsports, said he made some laps dur- ing the test, and focused on things like fuel mileage instead of pure speed. And he said it still was helpful to get some laps in the new car. Additional testing of the redesigned car is set for Jan. 10-12 at Daytona International Speedway and at Charlotte on Jan. 17-18. Brad Keselowski on the track during testing of his new Ford Fusion No. 2 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. (NASCAR photo) Drivers return from USO tour

Sprint Cup driver Joey Logano and two-time and reigning Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. are back from a USO- backed trip to visit troops stationed in the Fusion power Middle East and in Germany. The two visited six installations in the second such trip for Logano and the first for Stenhouse. “We had the chance to meet some amazing men and women on our USO tour,” Logano told With new elements, Keselowski preps for 2013 reporters. “I have so much respect for our troops; they do their jobs day in and day out without complaint and are always giving it their all. rad Keselowski unofficially began the nine and has never finished better than 16th “We are lucky to have these men and women defense of his Sprint Cup champi- in the points standings. serving and protecting our country, and I can’t Bonship last week during a test session “I feel like there are a lot of areas that I thank them enough for all that they do.” at Charlotte Motor Speedway. can improve and be better, and I think there Said Stenhouse: “My first USO tour was an The reigning champion is in a rather are things Joey does right out of the gate amazing experience.
