    2012.3.3 “I Remember Hour” The DeKalb History Center James Venable May 28, 1982 JAMES MACKAY, Interviewer: All right, today is August the 28th, 1982, and we are videotaping a very well-known and outstanding lawyer in our county for the records of the DeKalb Historical Society. Mr. Howard Worley, who is making this tape for us [sic]. Now, we have one hour, and I’m going to present to you here Mr. Jimmy Venable, and I want him to range over his whole life and times here in the county. And I think a good beginning point is that since this county is just 160 years old and everybody except the native Indians has come into this county, tell me something about the background of your family, Mr. Venable, and how they happened to come to DeKalb County and where you were born and that sort of thing. JAMES VENABLE: Well, my ancestors settled in Richmond, Virginia, in 1683. Captain John Venable and Abram Venable played a very prominent part in the Revolution, the war between England and the colonies. And I had a great-great uncle who was a professor who taught Greek in the University of Virginia, and during the Revolutionary War my ancestors conscripted the ox teams and the neighbors there to aid the colonies during the bloody conflict, and after the revolution had ceased the war, they were sued, and Patrick Henry defended them in the lawsuit and won it. A few years thereafter, five of them settled over in Jefferson, Georgia. In 1842 James Venable, whom I’m named after, was the first man in the world to submit himself as a guinea pig for Dr.

Please submit comments about the newsletter or items for inclusion to Liz Rank. For more information on the USFLN, please visit http://www.tncfire.org/training_usfln.htm or contact Lynn Decker. News: Jemez Tour / Burning Red Cedar / FLN at Conferences The Jemez Climate Change Adaptation Project is part of a week-long international climate exchange study tour taking place this week. The tour, co-sponsored by the Forest Service, Comision Nacional de Areas Naturales Protegidas and the Fonda Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza, will allow managers from the US and Mexico to share strategies and lessons learned in their respective protected areas. The Jemez portion of the tour will include discussion of restoration on a large scale, and a visit to a carbon flux monitoring tower. In his weekly “Friday message” (attached), Nebraska State Conservationist Steve Chick gave kudos to Middle Niobrara Coordinating Wildlife Biologist Sandy Benson for coordinating a series of successful prescribed burns to manage red cedar. As is the case with much of the Great Plains FLN’s work, volunteer fire departments and private landowners were key partners. Marek Smith is on the program of the Southern Appalachian Man & the Biosphere (SAMAB) conference being held in Gatlinburg, TN on November 16-18. The conference will focus on climate change and on-the-ground means for addressing it in the southern Appalachians. Marek will discuss the work of both the Appalachian and Southern Blue Ridge FLNs.

  • Geologic Guide to Stone Mountain Park
    GEOLOGIC GUIDE TO STONE MOUNTAIN PARK by Robert L. Atkins and Lisa G. Joyce Georgia Department of Natural Resources Georgia Geologic Survey GEOLOGIC GUIDE 4 Common Misconceptions About Stone Mountain An average of four million people visit Stone Mountain Park each year. Very little geologic information is available to these visitors. With this lack of information, some misconceptions have developed concerning Stone Moun­ tain and the granite named after the mountain. Several of these misconcep­ tions are discussed below. MYTH 1: Stone Mountai n granite underlies half of Georgia, all of Geor­ gia, three states, seven states, etc. FACT: The Stone Mountain Granite is a relatively small unit. It extends northward to U.S. 78, southward to the park boundary, and its western contact lies within the park limits. It extends eastward towards C enterville (see Geologic Map of the Stone Mountain Area, p. 12-13). MYTH 2: Stone Mountain is the largest exposed granite outcrop in the world. FACT: Stone Mountain's size is quite inspiring. It probably is the largest granite dome east of the Mississippi River, as it rises approxi­ mately 750 feet (ft) above the surrounding topography; how­ ever, it is not the largest dome in the world. Many granite domes in the Sierras in the western United States are larger. MYTH 3: Stone Mountain is 300 million years old. FACT: The granite that forms Stone Mountain is approximately 300 million years old, but the mountain itself has only been exposed for approximately 15 million years. MYTH 4: Stone Mountain used to be a volcano. FACT: Although Stone Mountain Granite, like all other granites, is igneous in origin, it was formed quite differently from a volcano.

In 2012, the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area was designated as the Chattahoochee River Water Trail to become the first river named a National Water Trail. The National Water Trails System was created by the U.S. Department of the Interior to increase access to water-based outdoor recreation, encourage community stewardship of local waterways, and promote tourism. Cochran Shoals is the largest and most popular unit of the park, featuring a three-mile (4.8 km) fitness trail, suitable for walking, jogging, or biking.
