What if we could operate on that water walking faith every day, where could Christ take us? What would He accomplish through us?

Isaiah 40:28-31 - Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no search-ing of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

The clothes line was in full view outside her bedroom

window. Both daughters’ clothes had been washed and hung out to dry in the summer breeze. Junie McClain was almost envious of the dresses moving freely outside

while she lay dying. Now, no one even the doctor told her for sure she was dying... but she knew. Deep down in her gut she ÄN\YLK�ZPUJL�[OL�YOL\TH[PJ�ML]LY�Z[VSL�TVZ[�VM�OLY�JOPSKOVVK�and then asthma took its hold, her days were numbered a good bit shorter than some. She made up her mind that she didn’t want to be bitter over dying young; she only wanted to know the sweetness of greeting her Maker.

With determination that came only from God Himself she picked up pencil and paper and with an unsteady hand wrote out her request.

Please do all in your power to help her bring them up in the right way and you live before them like a father should. I hope the children will love and help you in every way and when you’re too disabled to work, they will give you a home. I hope the children will not give you any trouble and will make good Christian girls... I want you all to meet me in heaven. Please dress me in pink or white for the funeral and please thank everyone who ever helped me during my sickness.”

Not very eloquent, but then Junie was plain and simple. She and Holice were sharecroppers who lived more basic than some. Junie wore plain cotton print dresses; her brown hair was cut short and her bangs held back with a bobby pin. Her smile and quick wit were contagious on her petite frame that was almost too big for her size four feet to carry. Her only adornment was her thin gold wedding band that held no shine against her inner glow.

Junie also decided to die plain. No need to change now.

women in the area of compliments, she liked getting them on occasion and even though she wouldn’t be able to hear them... she wanted them said nonetheless.

She laid her head back on the soft cotton pillows. She could tell as she gasped for breath that death was minutes away. She looked over and saw her husband Holice, grief already etched in his eyes... he was holding their three-year old daughter Shirley in his arms. Six-year old Julia was standing next to her head.

“Mama,” Julia said, “do you see angels yet?”

“None yet honey, but I hear their wings... can you hear the swooshing sound Julia?” Junie barely whispered out.

Julia just stood there looking around trying to see angels or hear their wings.

“Holice,” Junie whispered, “would you and the girls lie beside me; I want to meet Jesus with my family in my arms.”

Holice laid Shirley next to her as Julia also climbed in. He slid next to Junie and held her in his arms.

“Mama,” Julia squealed breathlessly, “I hear the angels wings... do you hear them?”

“Yes baby, I do”

In that instant, Junie was gone.

Holice began sobbing and when the girls saw this they began to cry also... too young to truly understand the full impact of their heartbreaking loss.

For most folks going on a picnic the trip involves a long drive to their favorite picnic site. But here in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains, that trip usually just takes 15

or 20 minutes and we can be beside a beautiful body of water with our meal spread before us. Picnics don’t have to be the stuff Ralph Lauren ads portray; any meal simply tastes better outdoors and it doesn’t have to be elaborate. Just as long as the food is ready to eat when you arrive and the cook food is cold and the hot food it hot. Most of these recipes are made ahead, so you don’t come home to a dirty kitchen!

Summer . . . time to uncork a chilled rosé or maybe a blush or pink. Rosé? Blush? Pink? The terms describe wines that are neither white nor red but in between. Now, this is where it gets confusing. Rosé wines (pronounced roh-ZAY) can be made from reds or in some places from blending reds and whites and are sweet, semi-sweet, dry or off

dry. Blush wines originally referred to wine with a “blush of color” and gradually morphed into “pink and sweet” wines like California’s White Zinfandel. Pink wines can be either a rosé or a blush.

Wine historians suggest that hundreds of years ago, French wines were light reds, not unlike many of today’s rosés. Hey, they were using feet, not high tech equipment! The French are famous for their rosés, balancing grape maturity with acid and alcohol for a dry wine. Also known for rosé wines are Italy (rosato) and Spain (rosado).

In France, rosé now outsells white wine and is produced from the Loire Valley to southern Rhone Valley and along the Mediterranean, where Provence produces nearly two-thirds of the region’s and 7.7% of the world’s supply. European

Uncorked�¶�From Vine to WineRosés Are Hot but Serve Chilled

rosés vary from dry to very dry. In the United States, dry rosés are now hot sellers, produced to be consumed young (early harvest, cold fermentation and aged in steel tanks) with a light and fruity taste. Rosés are especially refreshing and cool on a hot day and are frequently served on ice in Provence.

Three Sisters Vineyards’ Fat Boy Pink is a delicate blend of red and white grapes and Wolf Mountain Vineyards offers a Sunset Rosé. Hiawassee: Hightower Creek Vineyards’ Red Clay Rosé is a blend of “old world meets new,” featuring Cabernet Franc, Chambourcin and a bit of Catawba. White County: The Cottage Vineyards produces Baby Doll Legs Rosé, a semi-sweet featuring Riesling and Traminette grapes, and Coccolati Rosé, a dry Chenin Blanc- based wine. Habersham Vineyards offers Cherokee Rose, medium dry and “intensely fruity” and Belle Blush, a sweet and fruity Muscadine and Chambourcin blend. Rabun County: 12 Spies Vineyards produces Samson’s Signature Rosé, a dry Mourvèdre, and Barefoot Blush, a slightly sweet Catawba. Tiger Mountain Vineyards’ current vintage is a French-style, Cabernet Franc-based rosé, semi-dry with a “tiny bit” of residual sugar. At Stonewall Creek Vineyards, we produce a Provence-style, dry rosé made from our Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes; named for our daughter-in-law Yukari.

At the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition last January, a North Georgia wine took the top award for a dry rosé -- Best of Class! Eric Seifarth, who has been producing wines for over 20 years at Crane Creek Vineyards in Young Harris, said the 2012 Villard Noir features 100% Villard Noir grapes, a French wine hybrid dating to the 1860s. Crane Creek also produces a sweet blush (Vidal, Chardonel and Chambourcin) called Mountain Harvest Blush.

How to Make a Rosé

>PULTHRLYZ� JSHPT� P[»Z� UV[� KPMÄJ\S[� [V�THRL� H� YVZt��[OL�challenge is to make a good rosé. Unlike the U.S., it’s illegal in France to make a rosé by blending red and white wines, except in the Champagne region, where it’s rarely done. Jacqueline Chambliss a French Wine Scholar from metro-Atlanta mentions two methods the French use to make rosé: Direct Press and Saignée.

With Direct Press, after the grapes are harvested and crushed, the grape skins and juice remain together (maceration) just long enough for the skins to produce a pink color and a short exposure to tannins. Length of time depends on grape varietal. It is then pressed to separate the juice from the skins and the juice is fermented, usually in stainless steel, temperature-controlled tanks. The Mourvèdre grapes in French Bandol rosés are processed like this, producing wines that are ready to drink young but also age well.

In France, using the Saignée method, 10% of the juice of a red grape is “bled” off prior to fermentation, producing as a “by-product” rosé. The remaining wine will be much deeper in color and more complex. So, two wines produced--one to sell as a rosé and the other to age as a red.

Winemakers can choose to play up or play down the color of a rosé, from nearly clear to deeper reds, although Ms. Chambliss feels that, “Women love rosé wines because of the beautiful pink color.”

Food Notes: Pair slightly sweet rosé with grilled sausages, barbeque and most Chinese dishes. A dry rosé has the acidity of white wine and the fruitiness of red and will pair well with TVZ[�JOLLZLZ��NYPSSLK�JOPJRLU�VY�ÄZO�� YVHZ[� SLN�VM� SHTI�^P[O�OLYIZ� KL� 7YV]LUJL�� OHT�� SLLR� HUK� NV\KH� ZV\MÅtZ�� ZJHSSVWZ�HUK�^OP[L�ÄZO� Also the perfect “only” wine for Thanksgiving, matching sweet and savory dishes. Or, serve alone as a sipping wine. At Stonewall Creek Vineyards, we say, “Serve with a mountain view.”


Jabe Hilson has recently opened the Noble Wine Cellar Tasting Room in the North Georgia Mountains. While his business is located on North Main Street in Clayton,

he is processing and bottling his wine at Monteluce Winery near Dahlonega, Georgia. The making of his own wine is the culmination of a life-long creative journey.

Jabe has always been artistic. As a child he fashioned clay into animals and monsters. In high school he loved art class. In college he was fascinated by the studio, but focused his talent when he majored in 3-D graphic design. After college he worked in Atlanta as a graphic designer.

He met and married Barbara Bradley whose family lives in Lakemont. Together they accepted an opportunity to move to Japan and teach conversational English. While living in Japan he marveled at the Japanese tradition for making food more enjoyable by presenting it as art. Everything about food in Japan has a relationship to art: color, clarity, aroma, texture, taste and the plate itself. He was fascinated by the process and tried to recreate it in their kitchen.

When he and Barbara were returning from Japan, she applied for and accepted a job teaching in the Northeast Georgia Mountains. Both Jabe and Barbara’s families lived nearby, so he applied for a job as a laborer at Tiger Mountain Vineyard. That was in 2003.

So for the summer he worked as a laborer in the vineyard and winery. He stayed on through harvest and got to see the magic as something from the ground grows and is transformed into wine. He found this fascinating. So fascinating, he picked some wild grapes and tried fashioning wine in his kitchen.

During our interview he said that winemaking is part of that artistic process that culminates in the ability to create something not just useful but enjoyable.

After his stint with Tiger Mountain Vineyards he was able to ÄUK�H�QVI�^P[O�[OL�*SH`[VU�;YPI\UL�^OLYL�OL�\ZLK�OPZ�KLNYLL�in graphic design. In 2007 John Ezzard contacted him and indicated that Tiger Mountain Vineyards needed someone full time. He started with the winery in January 2008. His job was to help with most everything that needed doing at the vineyard, winery and tasting room.

Over the next 7 years Jabe pushed himself to be as helpful and hardworking as possible. He helped with and learned about almost every aspect of running a vineyard, making wine, operating a tasting room, shipping wine and facilitating events. Over the years he took copious notes on everything he thought was important, especially care of the vineyard and the making of wine. If wine was aged in different types of barrels and [OL`�`PLSKLK�KPMMLYLU[� HYVTHZ�HUK�ÅH]VYZ��OL�^YV[L� P[�KV^U��/L�SLHYULK�H�SV[�¶�HUK�PU�[PTL�OL�YLHSPaLK�[OH[�NYV^PUN�NYHWLZ�HUK�THRPUN�^PUL�M\SÄSSLK�OPZ�ULLK�[V�IL�JYLH[P]L��1HIL�[VSK�TL��¸1VOU�NH]L�TL�JVUÄKLUJL�HUK� 0� MV\UK� 0�JV\SK�OH]L�H�]VPJL�making wine.” He became the assistant winemaker at Tiger Mountain Vineyards.

In fact, one can be very creative making wine. Everything you need to make wine comes naturally. You plant, grow, harvest, crush, ferment, process and age it.

Noble Wine Cellar and Tasting Room

He realized that if he wanted to remain in Rabun County he would have to make his own opportunity. It was a family decision that included a number of changes. After taking off several years to raise their family Barbara has gone back to [LHJOPUN�� 1HIL� OHK� [V� ZV\YJL� NYHWLZ� HUK� ÄUK� H� SVJH[PVU� [V�process and bottle his wine.

Jabe, friends and family have all assisted in redecorating the tasting room.

The dream is at hand as the tasting room is now open on Main Street. The shop, in addition to offering wine tastings, also features local and Georgia-Grown and Georgia-Made products.

I asked, so what does the future hold? Well, he said, “I am thrilled to live and work in the ‘Farm to Table Capital VM�.LVYNPH»��;OPZ�KLZPNUH[PVU�I\V`Z�T`�JVUÄKLUJL� [OH[�V\Y�small farms will play an important role in the future of Rabun County. I would like to be part of that and have my own vineyard. Perhaps someday I will have a vineyard, winery and tasting room all on one campus. Then that becomes my life; hopefully something my children will want to be part of, and then it becomes a family and community. There is no place else I would rather be right now.”

David and Gayle Darugh are the owners/chefs of Beechwood Inn in Clayton, Georgia.


I remember hearing my grandmother say many times when I

was growing up that if I ate too much sugar and candy, I would get “Sugar Diabetes”. At the time, being an invincible young person, I had no idea what that meant or I thought that

^HZ�ZVTL[OPUN�MVY�¸VSK�WLVWSL¹��3L[»Z�[HSR�HIV\[�¸Z\NHY¹�¶�[OL�different types, symptoms, causes and most importantly, how to treat and manage high blood sugar if you have it. And, we will see it is not just an “old person disease” but can occur at any age and untreated can lead to a multitude of problems and complications.

Before we discuss the disease itself, we need to describe it accurately. Insulin is an important hormone made by the pancreas which allows the body to properly process dietary sugars. When sugars are ingested, insulin is normally released which allows the sugars to be taken into the cells and absorbed like they should for proper nutrition and metabolism. If the pancreas produces no insulin, or not enough, or if the cell receptors are gone or damaged which sense and respond to the PUZ\SPU� ¶� [VV�T\JO� Z\NHY�stays in the blood and is not absorbed. This is what leads to the dangerous complications and outcomes of this disease.

The proper medical term for “sugar” is Diabetes (“to pass through”) Mellitus (“from honey”) or DM for short. There are two types of this condition with different origins, although the complications and results are nearly the same.

Type 1 DM is often called “Juvenile Onset” as it tends to present in childhood or late teens. In this form of Diabetes, the cells which produce insulin have been destroyed or “knocked out” so that no insulin is produced. The tendency to have this condition is thought to be genetically inherited, and may be triggered by a viral illness which brings about the actual full blown disease process. Once these cells are non-functional, there is no cure, only management of the condition, requiring administration of insulin at regular intervals.

Type 2 DM usually presents in an adult patient, often overweight and results from the body’s inability to properly use the insulin that is produced. The receptors that “sense” the PUZ\SPU�TH`�IL�KHTHNLK�VY�PUZ\MÄJPLU[��HUK�[OL�PUZ\SPU�[OH[�PZ�produced is not able to be utilized properly. Another thought is that as obesity adds more tissue (fat) to the body, there are only so many receptors, and they may be somewhat overwhelmed as there is more body tissue to be “serviced” by the limited

insulin receptors. Milder forms of this condition may be called “borderline” diabetes, while more severe forms will be obvious “sugar” with all the symptoms, complications and dangers of fulminant DM. So, eating sugar itself will UV[�¸JH\ZL¹�+4�¶�I\[� P[�can to the extent that too much can lead to being overweight.

The symptoms of DM, regardless of type, are all related to the fact that the blood sugar is too high for the body to manage and handle. The “3-P’s” are common ¶� Polydypsia (thirst and need to drink), Polyuria (frequent production of sweet urine) and Polyphagia (increased appetite/hunger). When the blood sugar gets too

high, the kidneys cannot process well and begin to spill the Z\NHY�PU[V�[OL�\YPUL�¶�[OPZ�SLHKZ�[V�MYLX\LU[�\YPUH[PVU��HUK�[OH[�results in the body’s need for more water and constant thirst.

Live Healthy and Be Well“Sugar is sweet…sometimes”

by Stephen Jarrard, MD FACS


If the blood sugar becomes uncontrollably high, a dangerous condition called Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) may result which can lead to coma and even death in its most severe form. Even in milder forms, high blood sugar over time can lead to kidney, eye, heart, nerve, blood vessel and other types of organ damage. It reduces the body’s ability to heal wounds and surgical incisions, and can lead to the formation of ulcerated “sores” that do not heal and may eventually become infected and require the amputation of limbs.

If you have any of the above symptoms, or see them in your child or a young person, please see a provider and check the blood sugar level. If you are diagnosed with DM of either type, you will need to maintain tight control of your blood sugar. This may be accomplished with actual insulin, or other medications as needed. Managing your sugar within controlled limits is critical for your future health and wellness ¶�ZV�WSLHZL�KV�̂ OH[L]LY�P[�[HRLZ�[V�HJJVTWSPZO�[OH[�JVU[YVS�

I knew Danielle Phillips long before she became a distin-guished attorney in Macon, Georgia.

That’s another story.

But every time her husband does something notable, I read about it on social media. She says, “My caveman cooked me dinner.” Or, “My caveman surprised me with a trip to Hawaii.”

I suppose there’s something allur-ing to some wom-en when we men exude a caveman pheromone....may-be. I’ll have to ask my friend, the Bar-rister.

However, I’ve been on the Cave-man Diet since my birthday in late win-ter.

I don’t recommend it.

This Paleo Diet has had a horrendous effect on me. I’ve lost as much weight as I can afford.

Russell Clinton is a competitive body builder in Tifton, Georgia. He’s my little brother by adoption. I asked his wis-dom on the subject. He got ‘ripped and cut’ going ‘cave-man’.

The food choices are simple. Eat what the caveman had access to: meat, vegetables, a lot of nuts and some fruits.

Why it works?

Our bodies burn simple fats/carbs as long as we keep shoving them down our throats. If we keep providing our-selves this stuff, long term fat, hanging on us like Christmas ornaments, never gets burned.

Get it?

So, cutting dairy, grains, breads, deserts, sugars, grains, and other foods caveman couldn’t eat, means our fat eventu-ally gets shown the door.

But why you, Mark?

Love, really.

us played at high altitudes.

She didn’t wanna gain weight during rehab.

She hasn’t. Thanks, Caveman.

I believe in unity, solidarity, camaraderie and marital bliss. So I signed onto the Paleo Diet to support Carol. But I’m rethinking the whole deal now that I’m four pounds from my wedding day weight.

For real.

I’m now on the Paleo Athlete Diet. I can have a slight-ly broader menu. Otherwise the next wind storm might

The combination of training and cave-man has me think-PUN�T`�ÄYZ[�L]LY�KPL[�is too effective. So, I’d stay away from it. Cuz it works.

Our kitchen is different these days. We’ve been an ex-tremely healthy home most all of our 34 years. But caveman has turned things up a notch.

Carol bakes with HSTVUK� ÅV\Y�� *VJV-U\[�ÅV\Y��[VV��)YLHKZ��*YLWLZ��4\MÄUZ�

And pancakes with pure maple syrup are completely Paleo.

She’s doing great.

We’ve learned men lose weight faster than women. The Creator decided men need to be svelte to hunt and women need some mass for babies through harsh winters.

That’s the general idea.

But our country doesn’t have many men running for food nor moms needing winter fat.

Not so much.

But Caveman has become a friend around here.

Our occasional ‘cheat’ meals happen at Manrique’s and Joel’s Rusty Bike or the Universal Joint.

Carol’s showing signs of full recovery.

This summer promises a return to trail running for her. Go, girl.

I’m joyous.

She sports a former-living person’s hamstring as her new ACL. Our personal surgeon Denny Alter is a swell human I’m not sure if Caveman will get asked to leave. We think we like him in our kitchen.

See you on the trail.

After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with honors in 1973 with a degree in history Beverly Gerard spent the next ten years as a housewife

preparing for what her real mission in life was. She found a keen interest in preventative and alternative medicine studying massage, yoga, herbs, nutrition, iridology, homeopathy and naturopathy.

Activate Your Summer with These Simple Tips Fitness Ideas to Power Up Your Season



Each day offers new opportunities to make choices that impact your health and overall wellness. Though hectic schedules can cause many of us to let healthy habits fall

to the wayside, it is important that we give our bodies the at-tention and care they deserve.

Consider these small steps to gradually improve your whole body and heart health, which can help you enjoy a hap-pier, longer life:

* Strike a balance. Take a simpler approach to the traditional idea of "dieting." Balance calories in versus calories out with a combination of good food choices, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and regular exercise, such as walking or hik-ing. Incorporate low-calorie, naturally fat-free foods into your diet, such as new Dole Red Grapefruit Sunrise Fruit Bowls, which bring all-natural fruit together with 100 percent juice. They are a great way to start the day or just enjoy as a delicious snack. Grapefruit naturally offers a plentiful source of nutri-ents, including phosphorus, potassium and vitamins A and C.

* Watch the middle. According to the Mayo Clinic, that extra weight you carry around the mid-section can cause serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Work to keep this common problem area in check by reducing caloric intake and increasing physical activity.

* Skip the stress. While a little stress is part of being human, too much can be taxing on the heart. Find activities that engage your mind and naturally relieve stress such as knitting, crafting or working on a puzzle.

* Dine in the a.m. Don't let a rushed morning routine get in the way of enjoying a heart-healthy breakfast. A complete morn-ing meal includes a combination of whole grains, protein, and fruits or vegetables. For a convenient, on-the-go option, throw an individually-sealed cup of Dole Red Grapefruit Sunrise in your laptop bag or purse. Each cup contains peak-of-ripe-ness, wholesome, peeled grapefruit and allows you to enjoy grapefruit all year around. Plus, they're gluten free, contain UV�.46Z��NLUL[PJHSS`�TVKPÄLK�VY�LUNPULLYLK�PUNYLKPLU[Z��VY�HY[PÄJPHS�Z^LL[LULYZ��HUK�MLH[\YL�)7(�MYLL�WHJRHNPUN��

* Drink more water. For your body to function properly, it needs the right amount of hydration. According to the Institute of Medicine, the average required intake for a male is about 13 cups, while a female requires about 9 cups. Switch out sodas HUK�Z\NHY`�KYPURZ�^P[O�^H[LY�[V�YLHW�P[Z�ILULÄ[Z��HUK�[V�ZOH]L�off extra "empty" calories that may contribute to weight gain.

* Get routine exams. A yearly doctor's examination keeps you more informed of your body's ever-changing status, and it keeps your health care provider in the loop, too. Educate yourself and understand the import numbers for your heart, including blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides.

A happy life starts with the right mindset and a few easy routines. For more ways to boost your body's wellness and healthy snack ideas, visit www.Dole.com.

So it’s July and I know folks say that these mountains are “where spring spends the summer,” but occasion-

ally, it just gets hot. With that in mind we’re going to keep cool by visiting Rabun’s two drive-up waterfalls, Stone-

Adventure Out Rabun County’s Drive-up Waterfalls

by Peter McIntosh

20 1.7 miles to a primitive camp-ing area at the base of the falls. Low clearance cars should stop at the parking lot which is reached 0.4 miles before the falls and hike to the falls on foot.

Mud Creek Falls is in Sky Valley below the Sky Valley golf course. It’s a lovely 100 foot cascade that has sort of an “S” curve shape. This

this bridge and down to the Sky Valley Overlook. (It’s in Sky Valley but you’re overlooking Dillard and the Little Ten-nessee River Valley.) I recommend you stop at the overlook either on your on your way up or on your way down. The trail from Mud Creek Falls down to the bridge is a moderate hike, and it’s a little under 1 mile each way. There are a few nice whitewater beauty spots along this trail. Happy hiking, or driv-ing as the case may be.

waterfall is at the end of Tahoe Road and to see it properly, you do need to get out of your car and walk down hill just a bit. This road is paved the whole way. And for you determined hikers, there’s a nice trail here following Mud Creek downstream to the old wooden bridge at the top of Estatoah Falls. Don’t get too excited, there is no view here. The only view of Estatoah Falls is from a distance on Hwy 246 driving up to Sky Valley. You could walk out to the highway from

Stonewall Creek Falls

wall Creek Falls and Mud Creek Falls. Both cascades have adjunct trails if you’re feel-ing you really need to break a sweat.

Stonewall Creek Falls is a nice 20 foot cas-cade, dropping into a nice pool at the base. There are several prim-itive campsites nearby. Now since this is a drive-up beauty spot, this waterfall is some-times visited by those uninterested in keep-ing clean and pristine. It was clean at the time of my most recent visit. The forest service road to the falls is a part of the Stonewall Creek Mountain Bike Trail, so keep an eye out for these folks when you’re on the road. And when you’re at the falls, the bike trail going uphill next to the creek offers a few other nice shoals upstream but nothing too dramatic.

Stonewall Creek Falls: Total Distance - Drive-up

From Old Hwy 441 (Main Street in Clayton) and Savannah Street, Go south on Old Hwy 441 5.5 miles the well marked road on right. (FS 20) Follow FS


Mud Creek Falls: Total Distance - Drive-up

From Hwy 441 and Hwy 246 in Dil-lard, turn right on Hwy 246 and go for 4.2 miles to Bald Mountain Rd. Turn right on Bald Mountain Rd and go 0.9 miles and turn right into Sky Valley, a gated community, on Sky Valley Way and go 1/2 mile and turn right on Tahoe Lane. Follow Ta-hoe Lane road 3/4 mile to dead end at the base of the falls. Please be considerate and follow parking instructions

B`�UV �̂�TVZ[�VM�̀ V\�HYL�WYVIHIS`�H^HYL�[OH[�MVY�[OL�ÄYZ[�time since 1936, a natural nest of peregrine falcons has been found in North Georgia. Those 1936 birds

were at Cloudland Canyon over in Western Georgia; these 2015 birds are right here in Rabun County at Tallulah Gorge.

Peregrine falcon populations had been declining in the Eastern US since the 1940s, due to human invasion, taking of eggs by falconers and egg collectors and raiding of nests by natural predators. After World War II, the introduction and use of DDT a pesticide wiped out many bird populations, including the Peregrine falcons. In the late 1970s after DDT was banned, an effort was made to restore populations of the Peregrine falcon in the East through captive reproduction and release. This effort has been successful in many states, but Georgia’s populations have been slow to recover. Indeed, until now Georgia’s only known nesting sites OH]L�ILLU�H[VW�VMÄJL�I\PSKPUNZ�PU�Atlanta.

According to the georgiawildlife.com website, three Peregrines were released in Tallulah Gorge in 1991, and three more in 1992. The fate of these six falcons is not documented HU`ÔLYL� 0�JV\SK�ÄUK�� )L[^LLU�� HUK�� YLSLHZLZ�were also made at Mount Yonah, Bell Mountain near Hiawassee, downtown Atlanta and Cloudland Canyon. Only the Atlanta releases produced known nests, maybe in part because of the food supply there.

The name peregrine means pilgrim or wanderer, an apt name for a bird that travels up to 15,000 miles in a year. They are probably the fastest living things on earth; dives have been clocked at more than 200 MPH. Generally, they glide along at about 40 to 50 MPH. Adults begin breeding at about 3 years of age and their life span is around 15 years. Nest sites, called aeries (or eyries if you prefer), have

historically been located on high cliffs about a third of the way down from the top on a rock ledge. The Tallulah Gorge nest was positioned in this manner. The falcons do not bring in materials to build a nest, they scrape out an indentation in the dirt or gravel on the ledge. Clutch size is usually between [^V� HUK� Ä]L� LNNZ�� ÔPJO�are sometimes abandoned if disturbed. Incubation is about a month, and they stay at the nest site 35 or 40 days ILMVYL�ÅLKNPUN�

Peregrines feed almost exclusively on other birds. They soar high in the air and dive to catch such prey as ducks, gulls, starlings, bluejays, thrushes and other songbirds.

everyday life in that one-room log cabin—did the straight lines and the symmetry of the chimney and the remarkably square corners of the hearth just happen by chance, or did Father spend just a little extra time choosing or shaping a few key rocks? Consider the quilts waiting at hand in the attic bedroom to cover the children on cold winter nights—the thorough stitching across the entire quilt serves its purpose of holding the warming inner layer in place, but did Mother have to make her stitches so precisely even in length, or stitch that little design on just the dark blue scraps of cloth used in the quilt top?

It’s not surprising, in light of these little glimpses of subtle artistry from the past, that Southern Appalachia today is quietly brimming with creativity and imagination.

When I look at the valley in which 0�NYL^�\W� 0�ÄYZ[�

think of Big Face Moun-tain. From our home at the foot of the steep north ridge sheltering us, each morning I would ÄYZ[�SVVR�V\[�HUK�ZLL�[OPZ�mountain of steep sides armored with rock cliffs hidden behind the foli-age of trees and moun-tain ivies. According to season and weather, the TV\U[HPU�YLÅLJ[LK�H�]H-

riety of scenes. I began to see this mountain as a friend and protector.

(YV\UK�P[Z�ÅHURZ�^OLYL�[LUKLK�ÄLSKZ�PU�[OH[�KH`�LUKLK�ran a dirt road called the “Pole Road”. It led to where once Great Uncle Marion Justus lived at the mouth of a cove under the mountain. He moved to Toccoa before I was born. In my

youth apple trees from his orchard still bore fruit, which at-tracted us kids as well as squirrels, turkeys and rabbits.

As I reached about 12 or so years old I began to explore )PN�-HJL�HUK�O\U[�YHIIP[Z�HYV\UK�P[Z�MVV[�Q\Z[�HIV]L�[OL�ÄLSKZ�and squirrels in the coves and on low ridges. Once, hunting squirrels in a cove near Henry Justus’s home, I sat among huge boulders where oak and hickory trees grew, which at-tracted many squirrels. Papa Jesse believed that once long ago the mountain trembled from a great earthquake and cast out chunks of rocks that rolled down to this spot. I was aim-ing at a squirrel with a single shot 16 gauge shotgun when I heard a loud click below me. Knowing it was a gun being cocked, I instantly shot and the squirrel fell. Down below, I heard a well known voice say, “Dog gone! Somebody shot my squirrel.” It was a cousin Henry Justus who lived nearby. He took his loss with good humor.

6UJL�H�WPVULLY�UHTLK�(STVU�VY�(STVUK�SP]LK�VU�H�ÅH[�on top of Big Face Mountain. In my youth a wagon road still led from Big Rock at the gap leading toward Clayton to the old home site. My brothers Norris and Dickie and other valley boys like Ted Parker and Elmo Dickerson and I would go on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to walk up there and explore the old home site. Then the roof had caved in and much of the walls. The spring where the family obtained wa-ter was nearby. A plum tree still bore fruit then. It would be OHYK�[V�ÄUK�L]LU�H�[YHJL�VM�[OL�VSK�OVTL�UV �̂

Papa Jesse said he once saw a “waterspout” come down from a dark cloud and gouge out trees on the mountainside. Later I wondered if he might have seen a tornado instead. He told of large groves of American chestnuts growing around [OL�ÅHURZ�VM� [OL�TV\U[HPUZ�ZRPY[PUN� [OL�]HSSL �̀� 0� YLJHSS�ZLL-ing giant moss-covered logs lying about. These were chestnut logs and Aunt Jesse Mae’s husband Glenn Maynard got a per-mit to snake out the logs and Glenn walled the living room of their house on a mountain near Asheville, NC, with silvery tinted chestnut logs that had fallen long before I was born.

I sometimes walk alone on old trails around Germany Valley. The trail called Uncle Erv’s trail from his home on Little Creek over the ridge to the church in Germany Valley is likely gone now without a trace. Dock’s Bar on Billy Branch Road leading to Little Creek and Wolffork led to a trail lead-ing to the home of dear Great Uncle and Aunt Dock and Lula Justus. Within a few feet of the Germany Valley road above where the church now sits are buried old settlers, hidden under dense trees and thicket of briars and brush. Some of them are my great-great and great-grandparents and other folks long forgotten by most people today. Now and then I pause by the road and ponder on life and ages gone by as I gaze across the valley at Big Face Mountain, the friend of my youth.

Dust My Jacket You can’t tell a car by its

leather. You can’t tell a book by its cover. And I wonder how much dust there is on my jacket - bits and pieces of the world, rubbing off. Time for the masking tape; tap-tap,

like my dad did for Bill and I, tap-tap, when wearing our Sunday best, wrapped around his hand, loop after loop - which inspired him to invent a certain sticky tape roller thing in 1965. I know this to be true because my dad said it was so - but don’t tell 3M.

What we jacket our lives with says a great deal about us - but not as Madison Avenue loud as the dust that covers it, especially when the dust penetrates the MHIYPJ�VM�V\Y�SP]LZ��HS[LYPUN�P[Z�KLZPNU��TVYL�Ä[[PUN�VM�H�whirling dervish world. It’s often hard to self-see and is best seen in the tailor’s all encompassing mirror, as he straightens our coat and brushes our shoulders

PU�H�]LY`�JHYPUN�^H �̀�Ä[[PUN�\Z�MVY�H�NVVK�KH`�PU�/PZ�ZLY]PJL�- making certain that the suit we are wearing represents the One who made it, and not the world that might have worn and torn it. I know this to be true because my Dad said it was so.

There is a certain book in my literary collection, bound in crimson cloth, bearing nothing but the author’s initials. (UVU`TV\Z�PU�H�Z[HJR�VM�ÅLH�THYRL[�ÄUKZ�[OH[�0�IV\NO[�MVY�H�song long ago. What to do but jump to a Preface that said it all, deeper inside the pages - about books worth reading and those not so. The words are easily applied to a life well-suited

D\Z[�ÄYZ[�JHTL�[V�(TLYPJH�MYVT�*OPUH�I`�IVH[��SHUKPUN�in a now closed California port that never existed. I know this to be true because my dad said it was so.

Now you almost know where dust came from and wouldn’t you like to send it storming back home?

4`� ÄYZ[� K\Z[� Z[VYT� OP[� ^OPSL� YPKPUN� MYVT� 2HUZHZ� *P[`�to Evergreen, Colorado in the backseat of my parents’

1962 Chevrolet. My brother Bill and I were told to roll the windows up hard and tight, but there’s not enough hard and tight to keep dust from going wherever it wants to go. To keep our lungs dust free, Mom told us to pull our jackets over our heads, which was pretty good advice for an asthmatic kid like me.

+\Z[�QHJRL[Z�[OH[�^YHW�OHYK�JV]LY�IVVRZ�^LYL�ÄYZ[�SP[[SL�more than plain paper wrappings that protected ornately bound volumes from elements that might injure them. They served a noble purpose. Most were discarded by those who preferred the feel of ornately embossed leather bindings and, today, those rare and original jackets are highly valued. Their more contemporary purpose is far less noble - to attract the Walmart and )HYULZ� � 5VISL� JVUZ\TLY� ^P[O� JHYLM\SS`�crafted information that often promises more than the book delivers - and to dress up a book whose cover is no longer cloaked in soft Corinthian leather.

Soft Corinthian leather was a phrase carefully crafted by the advertising agency Bozell to describe the upholstery used in Chrysler’s 1974 Imperial LeBaron and Cordoba, famously promoted by Ricardo Montalban. Although the label infers an exotic connection to Corinth, Greece, the upholstery actually came from Newark, New Jersey and was little different from standard styles of the day. An advertiser’s ploy? A car company’s gimmick? And who didn’t fall for it?


to living in the highest, especially when no dust is covering us at all. So read as though we are reading together, about living in a land so storm ridden. And so the author wrote -

“It is not too often in these days that one meets one who can deliver a word received from the indwelling Teacher [or Tailor].

Dissertations worked up by the natural abilities of men are one thing: but a word spoken under the immediate direction of the one true God is quite another. The former are abundant: the latter is rare.

Reiteration of deeply-needed truth has great value; and the hungry soul in need of guidance will be thankful for it. There is freshness and life in every letter, and the various states of needy ones will be met in the midst of their need.”

Good for writing. Good for living. So dust my jacket and I’ll dust yours, brothers side by side. For in this world, its dust on us has no good nor welcome home.

I know this to be true because my Father said it was so.


Living in Rabun County you may have come across a trail marker for the William Bartram Trail. But who was Wil-liam Bartram and what was he doing in Northeast Geor-

gia in 1775?

William BartramWilliam Bartram was born in Kingsessing outside of Philadel-phia on April 9, 1739. He had a twin sister named Eliza-

beth. They were raised in a Quaker family and their father John was America’s ÄYZ[� WYVMLZZPVUHS� IV[HUPZ[��William’s role model was his father and he was for-tunate enough to be able to accompany his father, at the age of 26 on a trip to explore the wilds of Flori-da.

At that time Florida was newly acquired by Britain from Spain. As the king’s botanist John Bar-tram was commissioned to L_WSVYL�[OL�ÅVYH�HUK�MH\UH�

of Florida. William and his father travelled to Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah and Augusta and then boated up the St John’s River in Florida.

Researching the life of William Bartram shows a man who was never content to work indoors; he loved the outdoors and exploring. He had many talents including writing and draw-ing and authored the book “Travels” which is still purchased

and read today. He is known for his detailed descriptions of his natural surroundings as he travelled through the newly discov-ered southeastern areas of North America.

William Bartram and his father have been credited with discovering and naming the Fraser Magnolia. The Fraser Mag-nolia grows in a very small range in the mid-south Appalachian Mountains. The Bartrams named the tree after a well-known Scottish botanist John Fraser.

Exploring North GeorgiaWho was William Bartram?

by Kitty Stratton

Fraser Magnolia discovered in 1775 by Bartram. As a result of William Bartram’s well documented travels throughout Northeast Georgia we have a detailed account of


the areas he visited. The Bartram trail covers 36.5 miles in Northeast Georgia and is well marked with historic markers such as this Historic Marker located on Warwoman Road, 2.7 miles east of Hwy 441 near Warwoman Dell.

Bartram Trail in Northeast Georgia.Today, we might look back at William Bartram’s travels through Indian territories during war-torn times as risky at the SLHZ[��LZWLJPHSS`�VU�H�TPZZPVU�[V�JVSSLJ[�ÅV^LYZ�HUK�WSHU[Z��However when we read the account of his journey in his book, “Travels” we realize that he was well aware of the dangers ahead of him. However, history tells us that he was friendly and had a very deep respect for Native Americans. William Bartram died at his home near Philadelphia on July 22, 1823.

We know from Bartram’s account of his travels that he crossed the Chattooga River and followed Warwoman Creek. He then headed through Courthouse Gap and followed Stekoa Creek to nearby Clayton. He then headed north through Rabun Gap. While reading accounts of his travels we realize [OH[�OPZ�QV\YUL`�^HZ�UV[�^P[OV\[�MLHY�HUK�KPMÄJ\S[PLZ��>OLU�we place his travels in the timeline of history we see that 1775 was just prior to the start of the Revolutionary War but also more importantly for Bartram, riding alone on horseback, this was a time not long after the Cherokee War which ended in 1761. The war had severely damaged the Cherokee Nation. Bartram was well aware of the bitterness the war had caused between the Cherokees and frontier settlers.

Suzanne Poole might have the world’s best commute. All she has to do to get to

her job at Anchorage Marina on Lake Burton is walk past her gazebo and plants lining the lake. Susy and her husband, the iconic Mr. Charlie Poole, bought the marina in the 1960s, and the family has owned and run it since.

Susy and Charlie raised their family in the one-story home directly in front of the gas pumps. Today she wonders how they managed; what with the lack of air conditioning and all [OH[�MVV[�[YHMÄJ�YPNO[�V\[ZPKL�[OLPY�open windows. In 2003, seeking more space and privacy, Susy and Charlie built a new home a stone’s throw away.

The Creek House at Anchorage Marina

Visitors to Anchorage might not even see the house, tucked as it is behind greenery and trees. The most appar-ent features outside the home are its gabled windows and the high river-rock archways and low fence. Inside the four-bedroom structure, Susy’s love of collecting and her acute HY[PZ[»Z�L`L�ZOV^�[OLTZLS]LZ��(�ÄUL�NYV\W�VM�HU[PX\L�NHTL�boards climb the stairs to the left, while the dining room opens up to the right.

An entryway table shows off more of Susy’s humor. Vin-[HNL�IPSSPHYK�IHSSZ��IHZLIHSSZ�HUK�^VVKLU� Q\NNSPUN�WPUZ�ÄSS�three large glass jars while the tabletop teems with new and vintage black bear and Indian collectibles. Everywhere one

looks, collections of wonderful objects appear and act as the home’s design theme. In the living room, twenty-two vintage world globes line the mantel piece, large to small and back to large. Just as clever and charming are the antique classroom maps used as valances in the bedroom.

The screened porch off the kitchen features a river rock HUK�NSHZZ�ZSHN�ÄYLWSHJL�Z\YYV\UKLK�I`�]PU[HNL�^PJRLY�M\YUP-ture. The theme out there is “red, white and blue” and sev-eral renditions of Old Glory decorate the walls, artwork and fabrics. Together they create a wonderful space to relax while enjoying the view of the dock and nearby Timpson Creek.


Throughout the house, works by artists Libby Mathews, Susan Easton, Laurel Fry and Peter Mc-Intosh line the walls and vie for attention. There’s hardly a place that doesn’t offer a treat for the eye. The breakfront in the living room stands full of vintage pottery and Spode china, souvenir drinking glasses and miniature birch-bark canoes. Every room gives testament to a collector with a fabulous eye and a talent for seamlessly mix-ing elements. Such is the case in the downstairs guest room where antique souve-nir pennants circle a rack of antlers to create another whimsical visual statement.

Susy built her collec-tion of antiques and cus-tom-built furniture with the help of Cecile Thompson at Timpson Creek Gallery. When Cecile opened her gallery in 1982, Susy was an ardent early supporter. Throughout the years as they became close friends, Cecile and Susy have worked with furniture makers Dwayne Thompson and Genesee River to create the unique pieces Susy need-ed. From the hickory dining room chairs and their matching pine-plank table

by Genesee, to the break-MYVU[� HUK�ÄYLWSHJL�THU-tle by Dwayne, each piece works to create a well-appointed and en-tertaining home.

Though Anchorage welcomes and serves scores of visitors, few realize Susy’s aesthetic stands right before their eyes. It’s evident in the ]PU[HNL�ZPNUZ�HUK�ÅV^LY-ing plants outside. And it’s in the store’s vintage Ä_[\YLZ�� [OL� IVH[� O\SSZ�used as doorways and the eclectic selection of goods. In a sense, Susy Poole doesn’t really com-mute. Her work is an ex-tension of her home. And every visitor to Anchor-age sees her eye at work, whether they realize it or not.

In those trucks are truly experienced and skilled men who are installing and servicing units 24 hours a day, 7 days a week every week.

Today this heating and air conditioning business employs 30+ people some of whom have been with the company almost as long as it’s been in existence. When a business holds onto their workers they are doing something right. The same can be said for their custom-ers.

There are many more people who work to make this business a success but space would not allow me to list ev-ery single one. “This group has helped build and shape this business by taking care of our customers and giving 110% each and every day,” Randy said “they are our extended family”. Randy and Donna have two sons Charlie and Sam who also work and have intricate roles in the business.

“Without our loyal customers we wouldn’t have a busi-ness. Customer satisfaction is key to our success. I cannot stress enough how important our customers are to us. We try to work with integrity, do a good job and go the extra mile,” Randy said. Leaning back in his chair, he continued, “We are proud to be a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer. When you have that seal it’s because that company believes in you and trusts you to represent their product and I install their products because I believe in them. We service nearly L]LY`�IYHUK�THKL�I\[�0�HT�JVUÄKLU[�PU�*HYYPLY��>OLU�VUL�of our Comfort Specialists meets with a new client or cus-tomer to do a Heat Loss/Heat Gain analysis on an existing system or a new install I want them to rest assured we are going to install in their home or business one of the best heating and cooling systems made. We go in with options

to meet their needs. We have budget, good, better and best and I would put any of the four in my own home.” Treat-ing customers like family is another reason for Northeast Georgia Heat and Air’s success. They recently were given the Carrier President’s Award, a national award given to only a dozen companies in the state and most of them are around Metro Atlanta. Again Randy gave the credit to his incredible [LHT�VM�5(;,�JLY[PÄLK�ZLY]PJL�[LJOZ�HUK�PUZ[HSSLYZ�

“I’d like to encourage young people who are looking to their future to consider this business. HVAC is a great indus-try to get in and it pays well. The trade industry is in need of some smart, energetic, young people who are willing to work hard, to do something extraordinary and they can get a NVVK�LK\JH[PVU�PU�[OPZ�ÄLSK�H[�5VY[O�.LVYNPH�;LJOUPJHS�*VS-lege.” Randy told me and I am thinking if Northeast Georgia Heat and Air continues to grow they’ll need to hire them. It was a pleasure to visit with Randy and his crew and if you’d like to know more about this business please visit their website at www.northeastgeorgiaheatandair.com, give them a call at 706.782.7825 or stop in and see for yourself why they are one of the region’s most successful home comfort companies.
