THE Inman Park Advocator Atlanta’s Small Town Downtown News • Newsletter of the Inman Park Neighborhood Association June 2014 [email protected] • inmanpark.org • 245 North Highland Avenue NE • Suite 230-401 • Atlanta 30307 Volume 42 • Issue 6 President’s Message With Gratitude BY DENNIS MOBLEY • [email protected] I know it’s not Thanksgiving, but I wish nonetheless to use this initial President’s Message to express my thanks for a number of things as I embark on my two-year term. First, I wish to thank my friend and predecessor Andy Coffman for the opportunity to retaliate for his portrait in the April issue of the Advocator, showing off all of his Georgia Half Marathon medals. I was in fact by his side every step of the way in all of those races! Second, and on a more serious note, I wish to thank him for believing me capable of following in his presidential footsteps. In fact, I will make every effort to keep him involved so that I and my Board colleagues can benefit from his wisdom and experience during our tenure. Given that this article was written in the aftermath of yet-another successful Inman Park Festival, with glorious and well-deserved sunny weather, I wish to thank the Festival Committee on which I remain, and the more than 900 volunteers who each year help us all pull off a very complicated and wondrous event. Thanks, too, to the vendors, artists, musicians, beer purveyors, and Home Tour families who make this an event that annually attracts people by the tens of thousands from miles around. -

Semi Annual Meeting Promotes Action on Initiatives At the March 2004 semi-annual meeting in Athens, speakers, discussions and round table sessions resulted in action steps on several GRC initiatives. The Communications Committee will be taking the “Why Is Recycling Important?” message to a Power Point presentation to be posted on our website and made available for member use. The Electronics Recycling round table discussions motivated local vendors to promote and participate in more residential collection of computers and computer peripherals via drop off sites and events handled by local program managers and KAB affiliates. -

James Venable, May 1982
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. -
