August 14, 2008 1980 the Annual Bicycle Ride Across the State Of August 14, 2008 1980 The annual bicycle ride across the state of Georgia began in 1980 under the guidance of Dot Moss. Dot received her inspiration for the tour from Iowa's RAGBRAI. Georgia's event started out as the Great GASBE (Georgia's Annual State Bicycling Event). The 1st ride began in Savannah and ended in Columbus. From Savannah the group traveled to Metter and received red carpet treatment. Dublin, Perry, and Thomaston were the next stops. In Thomaston a tradition began of camping on football fields. Of the 120 riders who left Savannah, 60 weary and saddle-sore cyclists arrived in Columbus completing the 300 miles of the first GASBE.

Not to imply the ride was dull, rather it reflected the lack of hills encountered during the tour. The GASBE toured south Georgia, beginning in Seminole State Park and on the 1st day traveled 83 miles to Albany. From Albany they visited Holiday Beach Resort, Douglas, Jesup, Richmond Hill and wound up in Savannah.

Other host cities included Clarkesville, Hartwell, Louisville and Springfield. The city of Hartwell treated the riders to a street party where the Mayor spent the evening dancing with cyclists who had pedaled all day. GASBE V was the last tour to use that name. Dot Moss retired from the director's position and took the tour name with her. The event had grown too big for one person to plan, direct and coordinate. As GASBE V ended, Georgia's bicycling tour was nameless and leaderless.

    Sent via email to Bill Towson at [email protected] on December 10, 2018. TO: Georgia Department of Community Affairs, 2018 International Plumbing Code Task Force DATE: December 10, 2018 RE: Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code on Plumbing Fixture Water Efficiency Dear Department of Community Affairs, As a steadfast advocate for sustainable building practices and responsible resource use, Southface recognizes the importance of advancing water efficiency standards in Georgia. We write to express our strong support of the proposed amendment to the 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC) submitted by the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District (MNGWPD) on October 30, 2018. Given currently available technologies, MNGWPD’s recommendations are reasonable advancements in water efficiency standards, and it is our understanding that the resulting water, energy, and financial savings will be significant. The proposed further-reduced flow rates for showerheads, (private) lavatory faucets, and kitchen faucets will save consumers money and continue to conserve our state’s limited water resources. As Georgia’s population continues to grow, conserving water will be of increasing importance to our economy and quality of life. In addition, saving water is vitally important to Georgia’s efforts to conserve energy. Energy generated by power plants across the state is used to clean, treat, and distribute water to our homes and businesses. Electricity and gas are used to heat water in our homes and businesses for everyday use. As described in Attachment C of the Code Amendment Form submitted by MNGWPD there will be significant financial savings to home and business owners as a result of the reduced energy and water use achieved.

  • The Southern Sociologist
    The Southern Sociologist Volume 41 Number 2 Fall 2009 SSS President’s Message Mark October 15, 2009, on your calendars! That is the deadline for online submissions of papers and suggested sessions for the 2010 Southern Sociological Society Meetings to be held at the Hyatt Hotel in Atlanta, April 21-25. You will receive email announcements and reminders that submissions are open. Planning is underway with Program Co-Chairs John Reynolds (Florida State University) and Don Reitzes (Georgia State University). The Conference theme is “Worlds at Risk at the Turn of the Millennium.” As my message in the summer The Southern Sociologist argued, “risk” is a pervasive sociological phenomenon that has structural as well as random elements. Most of us study aspects of risk across lives and social contexts. Hence, papers that span topics from environmental studies, to race-class-gender dy- namics, health and mortality, public policy and cross-national differences in values and social structures fit with this theme. Please gather your thoughts and plan to participate next April. We have gotten commitments from two great plenary speakers so far: Evelyn Nakano Glenn, President of the American Sociological Association and Professor of Sociology at the University of California at Berkeley and George Ritzer, our colleague from the University of Maryland who is going to share his analysis of aspects of the global financial crisis we are all experiencing in (Continued on page 2) Contents 2009 Call for Papers..........................2 50 Fun Things to do in Atlanta................5 2009 SSS Awards..............................13 The Teaching Corner..........................19 Opportunities................................26 Job Opportunities ...........................27 Southern Sociological Society................29 The Southern Sociologist Page 2 Fall 2009 SSS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (Continued from page 1) diverse ways.
