H1N1 vaccine available for children

This week District 2 Public Health Departments expanded the offering of the H1N1 vaccine to healthy chil-dren and young adults from ages 2 to 24 years of age, people who live with or care for children 6 months of age or younger, and health care and emer-gency medical services personnel with direct patient contact.

“These are the priority groups identi-fied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to be offered the first doses of the H1N1 vaccine because they are either at greater risk for com-plications if they catch the disease, or because they have close contact with individuals in the high risk groups,” said David Westfall, M.D., District 2 Public Health Director.

The nasal-mist type of vaccine was available first. Healthy individuals from 2 to 49 years of age in these groups can take the nasal-spray form of vaccine. The CDC says that more vaccine, in-cluding the H1N1 flu shot, will soon be made available, but the process takes time and we all must remain patient. As more vaccine is shipped and the pri-ority group requirements are met, the targeted groups will be broadened. This is especially important for pregnant women because they should not receive the nasal-mist vaccine, but will be one of the highest priority groups for the H1N1 flu shot.

“This is a massive and complicated vaccination operation,” said Dr. West-fall. “One that requires coordination between public health, private health providers, vaccine manufacturers and medical distributors and is one of the largest vaccination efforts our nation has seen.”

The Department of Community Health, Division of Public Health has provided a list of providers across the state that will be administering the H1N1 vaccine. To view the list, go to www.health.state.ga.gov , click on the H1N1 provider locator and enter your zip code. When you find a provider nearby, you need to call the provider to check on availability of vaccine before going to the office.

To help limit the spread of influenza, we should all practice good hygiene by washing our hands often, coughing into a tissue or our sleeve if a tissue is not available, staying home when we are sick, and avoiding people that are sick.

The H1N1 vaccine will be pro-vided free of charge by Public Health, although administration fees may be charged to Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance. Private providers that registered to administer the vaccine are also beginning to receive limited quan-tities of the vaccine. If you are in one of the priority groups above, please check with your local health department or private provider for availability of the vaccine.

Editors Note: - The following article was published in the October 1st, 2009 is-sue of Dirt Rag Magazine. Joanna Atkis-son is a resident of Clay County

Situated between the destination sites of Tanasi and Tsali, the recently constructed Jackrabbit trails are the latest addi tion to this mecca of the Southern Appalachians. Located in a small western North Carolina commu-nity near the town of Hayesville, this trail system has been constructed on a peninsula of beautiful Lake Chatuge on the North Carolina- Georgia bor-der. Its stacked-loop design helped meet the goal of creating a trail sys-tem that appeals to all skill levels. For starters, the all-access Central Loop is family-friendly with a perfect length of 3.1 miles. In contrast, the one-mile High Point trail has a 75ft. rock crossing, elevated ladder bridge, steep inclines and descents to create a chal-lenge for advanced riders. Most trails are fast and furious, with bermed turns, dirt jumps and whoop-de-dos. Oth-ers, such as SABA Beach, are tight and twisty. Jackrabbit offers great lake views while meandering through the woods alongside stately oaks and a multitude of flora and fauna.

Currently the system offers close to 15 miles of singletrack while work con-tinues on adding technical trail features

and trailhead amenities. A connector trail is in the planning stage, which will tie the trailhead to its neighbor-ing campground (of the same name). The trails are also convenient to the towns of Hayesville, North Carolina and Hiawassee, Georgia, which offer lodging choices from quaint B&Bs to fi ve-star resorts.

It wasn’t by accident that this net-work of trails turned out to be one of the area draws. Like many other suc-cess stories, having a core group of individuals who share a common goal and a well-thought-out action plan was key to its success.

It began in early 2001, when I was approached by the administration of the Clay County School system (where I am employed as School Nurse) who knew of my love of cycling. They asked if I would be interested in helping to coordinate a mountain bike compo-nent for a newly formed after-school and summer program for middle school students, called Pathways. I worked closely with the Pathways

Director, Cindy Curtis, to plan this specific activity for the program. It was very difficult to find appropriate entry-level trails, neither too technical nor too lengthy, that the students would enjoy. We would travel out of our county, and many times out of the state, for such trails. This sparked the question in my mind: “Clay County is surrounded by forested public lands, so why don’t we have any mountain bike trails?” If trails existed locally, then more people could be introduced to the sport, and those who already enjoyed it could bike more frequently.

In late 2002 I began making inqui-ries to the Tennessee Valley Authority and the U.S. Forest Service, Tusquit-

tee Ranger District, about gaining ac-cess to public lands for the purpose of building trails. It was readily evident that this project would take a collabor-ative effort between committed orga-nizations that share common goals—promoting mountain biking not only for our community but for the whole region, to help promote environmen-tal conservation and “green” tourism. A tight collaboration began between the Southern Appalachian Bicycling Association (SABA), the USFS Tus-quittee Ranger District, and the Clay County Communities Revitalization Association (CCCRA). The potential economic impact of a well-designed system of trails was a no-brainer for the CCCRA’s involvement, and they continue to be instrumental in writing grants and obtaining funding for this project.

Funding was very difficult dur-ing the initial planning stage, but we were fortunate to have HandMade in America as an avid supporter. Hand-Made (www.handmadeinamerica.org) is based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina and serves as a support system for small-town revitalization, economic development and heritage tourism. This organiza-tion has been a great friend to Clay County. Jackrabbit not only received funding from Clay County Travel and Tourism, but also from the neighbor-ing community of Hiawassee, Georgia, demonstrating its regional impact.

Examples of donations from the private sector have included labor and use of machinery to clear and grade a 400ft. parking area; two pontoon boats that were auctioned with proceeds to benefit the trail; labor to construct a covered bridge; and monetary dona-tions that were crucial for matching

These establishments will make your dining enjoyable and memorable! Once in a great while a movie comes along which is lighthearted, entertain-ing, inspiring, and just a load of fun. There is no better way to deliver an in-spirational message then through such a story. Interestingly enough, such sto-ries often come from obscure sources. Many well-known writers and film-makers just don’t have the heart felt impact necessary to do the job.

Lilies of the Field (1963) delivers on all these counts. Based on a 1962 book by William Edmund Barrett, it tells the story of a black American itinerant worker who encounters a group of East German nuns who are convinced that he has been sent to them by God to help them build a new chapel. The title comes from Matthew 6:28 which is found in the Sermon on the Mount.

Homer Smith (Sydney Poitier), an itinerant handyman, stops at a farm in the Arizona desert to get water when his automobile runs hot. Mother Maria (Lilia Skala) persuades him

to do a small repair job. Homer stays overnight, believing he will be paid in the morning. He tries to persuade mother Maria to pay him by quoting Luke 10:7, “The laborer is worthy of his hire.” But mother Maria responds with a quote of her own saying, “Look at the lilies of the field, they continue to appear beautiful even though they get no payment. The bloom is to honor God, but not get paid for their work.”

Homer agrees to stay another day and do some small repair jobs in hopes that Mother Maria will relent and fi-nally pay him. But he learns, much to his consternation, that the nuns do not have any money. In fact, they are liv-ing off a few things they can scrounge from their surroundings and the char-ity of the community.

Homer is reluctant to become more involved with them because he is a Southern Baptist and they are Catho-lic. However, when he accompanies them to Sunday services, he learns their plight and what they have en-dured in order to reach this part of the country from East Germany. Learn-ing this, he agrees to build the chapel

provided that he can do all the work. But when he runs out of material, he finds he must allow the community to become involved. Homer becomes an overseer and contractor, as it was, but it’s not what he wanted. He had as-pired to build the structure by himself.

Much of the enjoyment of the film is the interaction between Homer, the Baptist, and the Catholic Sisters. He teaches them Baptist Hymns and they teach him their Catholic chants. One of the more pleasing song sessions is a rendition of the hymn Amen beauti-fully rendered by Homer and the sis-ters. One writer says that Homer’s part has been dubbed. Maybe?

Sidney Poitier won an Academy award for best actor--the first time a black man won a competitive Oscar in the United States. Lilia Skala was nominated for best actress in a sup-porting role. The film was also nomi-nated for best black-and-white cin-ematography, best writing, and best screenplay based on material from another medium.

Today we give a reel memories sa-lute to Lilies of the Field.

Local dance student to perform in the Nutcracker at the Fox in Atlanta

Brasstown Dance Academy student Easton Payne auditioned for a part in The Atlanta Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker” to be performed this Holi-day season. He was awarded the part of Nicholas, Marya’s naughty brother. In the story, the Toy-maker gives the most enchanting toy to Marya: a handsome nutcracker. Nicholas receives a ratchet with a rat’s head. Envious, Nicholas breaks the nutcracker with his ratchet. This is the Atlanta Ballet Company’s 50th year performing this cherished classic at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. Easton travels weekly to Atlanta for re-hearsals, costuming and photo shoots. The Nutcracker will be presented from

December 11th through December 27th, 2009.

Easton has been studying dance for 2 ½ years, and is currently training at Brasstown Dance Academy in Young Harris, GA. In addition to ballet, Eas-ton receives instruction in Jazz, Tap, Hip-Hop, Lyrical and Modern dance styles at BDA.

Easton is also a Junior Member of the Fuzion Dance Company, a nonprofit project of Brasstown Dance Academy, which was founded in 2008 in order to provide more intense train-ing and performance opportunities for advanced and pre-professional stu-dents. Before performing in “The Nut-

cracker,” Easton will be dancing, along with the entire Fuzion Dance Compa-ny, on Halloween as they present their fall concert, “Fuzion Fright Night.” It will be an exciting, up-beat show with chills, thrills and creatures of the night appearing throughout. The Fuzion Dance Company will present two per-formances on October 31; one at 4pm and one at 9pm, so that those who wish to attend will still be able to enjoy the Trick or Treat events at the local town squares. The concert will be held at the Towns County Auditorium, and admission is $5 per person. There will be fantastic door prizes at each perfor-mance along with a costume contest

for all ages.The Fuzion Dance Company pres-

ents two Concert performances each year, in addition to numerous appear-ances at community events throughout the year.

During fall, the weather, the leaves and our schedules are changing. With the season being such an active time for families with busy schedules, it is easy to forget what doesn’t change – the constant need for blood. It is important to help save lives and give the “Gift of Life” by donating blood or platelets with the American Red Cross.

During the “Give Blood and Go!” campaign, which runs from October 1 to December 31, 2009, each person who presents to donate blood or plate-lets with the Red Cross will have an

opportunity to win one of three pairs of roundtrip Delta Air Lines domestic tickets.

The O. Wayne Rollins Planetarium of Young Harris College will present the show “The Zula Patrol: Under the Weather” as part of a special Kids Night program for children and fami-lies on Friday, Nov. 6, at 8 p.m. Plan-etarium admission is $3 for adults, $2 for students and free with a YHC ID.

Based on the popular, award-win-ning PBS animated television series, “The Zula Patrol: Under the Weather” is a roller-coaster ride across the uni-verse that teaches young explorers key science concepts as they encounter the strange and wild weather of the Solar System’s different planets—including our own. Ride along with the lovable, wacky cast of alien characters from The Zula Patrol as they try to save the solar system’s weather from interplanetary villain Dark Truder. The show is pre-

sented as a digital, 360-degree immer-sive planetarium theater experience.

“We are delighted to offer this show as one of our Friday evening public nights, introducing children and fami-lies to important science and weather concepts in a truly fun and colorful way,” said planetarium director Steve Morgan.

Ranked third largest in Georgia by dome size, Rollins Planetarium features a state-of-the-art GOTO Chronos Space Simulator star projec-tor with a state-of-the-art full-dome digital projection system, the Sky-Skan Definiti, in a 40-foot dome theater. In addition to a full annual schedule of evening public shows, it offers daytime educational opportunities for school groups throughout the year. Rollins Planetarium is located in the Maxwell

Center on the campus of Young Harris College.

If skies are clear, the Young Harris College Observatory is open immedi-ately after planetarium shows. The ob-servatory features a Schmidt-Casseg-rain telescope and is located about 1.5 miles from campus at Brasstown Val-ley Resort. Maps are available at the planetarium. Observing sessions last up to one hour and include a guided tour of the constellations. The observa-tory is open on the same dates as Rol-lins Planetarium.

For more information about plan-etarium and observatory events, call (706) 379-5195 or visit www.yhc.edu.

grants. SABA member Fred Lewis and I have donated the use of our homes not only to archeologists during the environmental assessment phase, but yet again to a trail crew for two and a half years to help cut the cost of trail construction.

School and community involve-ment is paramount in a small, rural area lacking large corporate sponsors. During the planning and construction phase, the students at Pathways helped SABA with fundraising efforts by sell-ing bicycle raffle tickets. Senior stu-dents at both Hayesville and Murphy High Schools did senior projects on “building sustainable trails” for school AccessAction

Therefore, in a nutshell, it shows

that even though one individual may give birth to a certain project, it takes a community to raise it. credit. Boy and Girl Scout Clubs have also conducted projects on-site.

The entire process was not, however, flawless and without error. In the initial excitement and anticipation of having our very own local trail system, flag-ging and clearing was begun without sufficient knowledge of basic design principals based on sustainability. It was not until SABA recruited trail guru Mike Riter of Trail Design Spe-cialists to do an initial walk-through that we realized the mistakes made in the initial layout. To gain more knowl-edge, SABA requested a visit from the IMBA Trail Care Crew, who were on-site in November of 2005, marking the beginning of actual trail construction. Afterwards, funding was obtained to have Mike Riter return to help con-

struct some kick-ass trails that have perfect flow and the ultimate “yee- haw” factor.

As popular as the trails have been to mountain bikers, they are equally popular among those traveling by foot. Not only does the local hiking club (Mountain High Hikers) schedule routine hikes at Jackrabbit, but they are widely used for trail runs by individuals and school cross country teams. SABA would like to continue to enhance trail access, promote environmental educa-tion and inspire conservation. Plants of interest have been identified and marked with the goal of creating signs containing this information.The past seven years have been like a whirlwind. I have been told that I do nothing but eat, sleep and drink “Jackrabbit.” Every project needs someone to be the cata-lyst or driving force, and this has been “my baby,” but I sure have been lucky to

have a lot of great nannies!Most of those involved in this proj-

ect are employed full-time, with most of the planning/trail design/clear-ing and fi nish-work taking place on weekends or evenings. A multitude of sacrifi ces have been made by those conducting trail clearing in preparation for machine construction, along with hours spent with writing and submit-ting grant proposals. Those who helped create this masterpiece have formed a bond that will truly last a lifetime.

Therefore, in a nutshell, it shows that even though one individual may give birth to a certain project, it takes a community to raise it. After many years of hard work, we can now say that it’s time to go “Ride the Rabbit.” For more information, check out www. sabacycling.com.

Jackrabbit:

It's Time for Tellabration! when thousands of people around the world gather in small towns and big cities to celebrate storytelling during the week before Thanksgiving. The internation-al , celebration of storytelling, known as Tellabration! serves to build grassroots community support for the age-old art of storytelling. Since its beginning in 1988, the annual observance has grown into one of the most impressive collec-tive events in the history of the modern storytelling revival.

Citizens from Asheville and sur-rounding communities join the global TELLABRATION! Spirit for the thirteenth year, as Asheville Story-telling Circle hosts the local event on Sunday, November 22, 2009, 3:00 PM at the Asheville Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

"The same weekend we're sharing stories here in Western North Caro-lina, people all over the globe will be gathering to tell and listen to stories of their own," says Stephen Boyer, presi-dent of Asheville Storytelling Circle. "This is a wonderful opportunity for people to come on out and hear great storytelling."

Sandra Gudger, Asheville Story-telling Circle founder and board mem-ber, adds, "We have a terrific lineup of tellers who are donating time and tal-ent to support this event. Listeners will hear humorous tales, folklore, stories that touch the heart, and much more. There will be something for everyone."

Featured tellers include Michael Reno Harrell an award winning song-writer, as well as a veteran storyteller and entertainer who makes his home in the Southern Appalachian Moun-tain town of Morganton, NC. His original songs and stories have been described as "Appalachian Grit and Wit" but, as his writing shows, Mi-chael's awareness is much broader than the bounds of his boyhood home or even the Southern Experience. Aside from being featured at the National Storytelling Festival, International Storytelling Center, Merlefest and the Walnut Valley Festival, for many years he's toured the US, British Isles and through most of Europe. Michael's recordings have garnered awards in

Country, Americana and Folk circles. The program also features Jimmy

Lee Clayton, who has spent years de-lighting audiences with hilarious tales -- many of which elaborate on the perils of growing up on a farm in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains with mis-chievous brothers. He moved from Polk County, FL, to Jonesborough, TN, after devoting thirty years as a middle school teacher to "trying to tame some of the wildest creatures known to mankind." Following his re-tirement he wrote a book of fractured fairy tales which interjects his signature down-home style into the Mother Goose tradition. Jimmy Lee has been featured at storytelling events in Flor-ida, currently tells with the Jonesbor-ough Story Guild and picks banjo with the Old Timers Bluegrass Band at the Cranberry Thistle.

Also on the program are Asheville Storytelling Circle members Karen Eve Bayne and Sarah Larson. Bayne is an international storyteller who re-turned to NC after living and working abroad where she says her experiences in business and as General Manager of the London Philharmonic enriched her storytelling. She is the director of the Do Tell StoryFest in Henderson-ville, and has been a featured teller at the Johnson Farm Storytelling Fes-tival. Larson is a world traveler who chose Asheville for her home. She has

collected stories from many cultures and enjoys telling Biblical stories to children. Emcee for the event is pup-peteer and storyteller, Pete Koschnick.

Donation: $5; proceeds enable area storytelling events and activities. Tickets will be available at the door on the day of the event.

Information: 828-777-9177 or 828-658-4151.

TELLABRATION! 2009 is sponsored in partnership with South-ern Highlands Craft Guild and the National Storytelling Network.

Founded in 1995, the Asheville Storytelling Circle is a nonprofit or-ganization dedicated to excellence in the oral tradition by affirming vari-ous cultures through storytelling, and nourishing the development of emerg-ing and established artists.

Steve & Penny Kilby in concertLocal writer & avid trail hiker pens novel

The Mountain Regional Library in Young Harris is excited to have a lo-cal author, Paralee Dawson, join them for a book signing, discussion, and video about the Appalachian Trail on Saturday, October 24th.. She will be in Young Harris, at 698 Miller Street from 11:00 to 2:00 p.m.

If you’ve ever dreamed about hik-ing the Appalachian Trail or just enjoy reading about the adventures of those

who have, this is a most read book. Living a Dream chronicles Paralee’s hike as she puts one foot in front of the other, day after day. Her book follows the history of the Trail dating back to Benton MacKaye in 1921. Read about some of the hiking legends we have all come to know and love and enjoy reading there success stories. If you are planning a short hike or thinking of going out for several months, you will

find a wealth of resources throughout the book to assist you in preparing for your hike.

After raising three children Paralee Dawson retired at the age of fifty-seven, and succumbed to “white blaze fever” as she began her hike along the Trail. Paralee, also known as Pearl by her friends and TrapperLee on the trail, is one of the many sixty-plus adults who attempt to hike the entire Trail each year. Now at the age of 63 she is section hiking to someday finish the entire Trail. She had the pleasure of sharing her adventures for two months with her grandson, Tyler this summer.

Paralee felt that a book should be a reflection of the author so she decided to take control of all the editorial, design, and distribution elements and took on the challenges of self-publishing and writing her own book. The journal sec-tion of her book was left in its original writings to share the true feel of daily life along this extraordinary Trail.

Sampling from her book: “Down the Appalachian Trail I

could make out the first white paint blazes of the Trail. Now I suddenly began to feel the excitement of get-ting under way. I could picture the unbroken chain of white blazes, link-ing me firmly to Katahdin in Maine. Every step I took from this point on would diminish by just that much the distance remaining. The miles ahead seemed less formidable. I took posses-sion, this was my Trail.”

Paralee will be sharing a movie showing the awe-inspiring beauty of the Trail as it passes through fourteen states from Georgia to Maine along with some of the beautiful wild flowers and wild life that can be found along the Trail. Stop by and come share your hiking stories or questions with Para-lee.

Young Harris College’s Campus Gate Art Gallery will host “Art Quilts,” an exhibit by Dr. Elizabeth Barton. The exhibit opens Thursday, Nov. 5, with an opening reception at 7 p.m. and will be on display through Friday, Dec. 4. Campus Gate is located at 5149 Col-lege Street on the Young Harris Col-lege campus. Regular gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. The reception and the exhibit are free and open to the public. For more informa-tion contact the Campus Gate Art Gallery at (706) 379-5256 or [email protected].

Dr. Barton is a fiber artist who cre-ates intricate and unique images of buildings, cityscapes and landscapes on quilts. Her quilts have been featured in countless galleries and museums across the United States and in Europe.

In her work, Dr. Barton attempts to address both conceptual and formal issues. She explores the beauty of ev-eryday environments. Reflected light, translucency and the effects of time are recurring themes in her work. She strives to translate into fiber the mar-velous effects of light and color. She aims to create works that glow with light and are rich with color and nu-ance, pieces in which the unified com-position is satisfying, but the details are fascinating.

Dr. Barton was born and educated in York, England, then immigrated to the United States in 1976. Since then, she has lived in Missouri and Georgia. She has recently devoted herself full time to travelling, teaching and making art quilts.

Which of these “ladies” is a killer?Ladies in Retirement, a mystery

directed by Edie Kleinpeter, opens this Friday at the Peacock Playhouse in Hayesville. Ellen Creed (Kathleen Brose) is companion-housekeeper to retired actress, Leonora Fiske (Jennifer McKenzie). Ellen is permitted to bring her two dotty sisters (Delilah Dav-enport and Diana Smith) for a visit. Albert, a long lost nephew of Ellen (Karl Snow), a nun, Sister Teresa, (Kay Thomas) and a maid, Lucy, (Katherine Dooly) all contribute to the plot. How far will one of the sister’s go to get what she wants for the family? Will she get away with murder? A little bit Arsenic and Old Lace, a little bit Hitchcock, this entertaining mystery has both hu-mor and sinister surprises.

The first weekend there will be two matinees on Saturday the 31st and Sunday, November 1st at 2:30. Open-ing night, Friday, October 30th, the show will begin at 8PM. The following weekend, the show will begin at 8PM on Friday, November 6th and Saturday, November 7th with a Sunday matinee at 2:30. Tickets are $13 for adults and
