The Mt. Airy Town Council discussed setting their millage rate at Monday night’s meeting but decided to table the matter until next Monday to ensure they had exact figures to make that decision.

The town is experiencing a downturn in revenue due to competition with other cities, officials said. Over the last year, Baldwin, Cornelia, and Clarkesville have allowed liquor stores to come to their cities, with Cornelia and Clarkesville having stores opening during that period. Mt. Airy used to hold the distinction as the only place in Habersham County where you could buy liquor.

According to Mt. Airy Mayor Ray McAllister, the competition has cost the town somewhere in the neighborhood of $26,000 to $28,000.

Another service that many cities provide is GCIC employment background checks for businesses. Mt. Airy has seen a significant decrease in revenue in that department this year as well. Council members did not discuss a specific dollar amount.

Inflation is also a concern, giving way to discussions of a possible millage rate increase.

“I mean, we beat this to death last year,” said Mt. Airy Councilmember Ken Moore regarding the council’s debate on whether to raise taxes last year. “At some point, we’re going to have to make an increase,” he said.

Fellow councilmember Adam Tullis did not object to an increase but said he wanted to know exact numbers before making a decision.

“I will be honest with you. I’ll tell you like I told you last year, I would like to see a one mill increase, but I don’t get to vote,” Mayor McAllister said.

Councilmember Mike McCoy was not opposed to the idea of a millage rate increase. However, he felt that it should be raised in small increments.

“I think, as much as we have a fiduciary responsibility, you know, responsible for taxpayer’s dollars and not raise taxes, which we can all agree, we have successfully done for decades. There is also the other responsibility that we making sure we have funds to provide services to our constituents,” said Councilmember Patrick Ledford.

Mt. Airy City Clerk Sheri Berrong told the council that when she returned from clerk’s training, she would get the exact numbers to them by the end of the week.

The town council tabled the matter and set a special called meeting for Monday, September 18, at 6:30 p.m.

 

Habersham County rolls out road safety campaign

Following a series of accidents involving county-owned vehicles, Habersham County on Tuesday unveiled a new campaign aimed at promoting safe driving.

The county is placing “How’s My Driving” stickers on all non-emergency county-owned vehicles. County Risk Manager Will Regan calls the sticker campaign a “proactive step” to reinforce the importance of responsible driving habits.

“By affixing these distinctive stickers on county-owned vehicles, the county sends a clear message: accountability matters and every driver on the road plays a part in ensuring safety.”

How it works

The program collects community feedback. Each sticker features a unique identification number and a dedicated phone number for people to call to report any concerning or unsafe driving behavior they observe.

According to Habersham County Public Information Officer Rob Moore, Regan is personally placing the stickers on the vehicles.

“The stickers are going on all non-emergency vehicles, including department heads and mine. The process began last week, and only a few stickers remain to be placed on vehicles,” Moore tells Now Habersham.

County Manager Alicia Vaughn expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “We believe that responsible driving should be a top priority for every member of our community. The ‘How’s My Driving’ program not only holds our county employees accountable but also invites our residents to be part of the solution. Together, we can create a safer road environment for everyone.”

A news release from the county says the new program aligns with its “ongoing commitment to safety and accountability.”

A history of bad driving

Habersham has been plagued by a series of vehicle mishaps and accidents in recent years, including on June 2 of this year when a firefighter drove a fire truck into the path of an oncoming pickup truck. The crash totaled both vehicles. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

In October 2021, the Georgia State Patrol cited a Habersham County ambulance driver for following too closely after she wrecked on I-85 while transporting a patient to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.

Both incidents involved emergency vehicles, which Moore points out are not included in this program “due to the nature of their work.”

It is unclear whether any steps are being taken to promote driver safety within the county’s emergency departments. It also remains unclear what procedures will be followed if and when someone files a complaint about a county employee’s driving.

Regan is currently in training and could not be reached for comment.

There is a financial incentive for improving driver safety. County taxpayers’ costs for these and other accidents go beyond repair and replacement costs. Insurance premium hikes and potential lawsuits are also costly. The county hopes this new program will help mitigate those liabilities, even if it is limited in scope.

To report concerns or offer feedback on county vehicles displaying the “How’s My Driving” stickers, call the dedicated hotline at 1-800-737-6789.

Remembering 9/11

On the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, people gathered for ceremonies across the nation to remember that tragic day. It wasn’t about fancy words or big gestures; it was about coming together to honor the lives lost and embrace America’s resilience.

In New York, people gathered at the site where the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center fell to read aloud the names and remember the lives of those who died in the terror attacks.

“When faced with evil and an enemy who sought to tear us apart, we endured, we endured,” said President Biden during his remarks commemorating the 22nd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The president spoke on the resolve and courage of the American people in his remarks from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp released a videotaped message encouraging all Georgians to “pause and remember” the tragic events that “rocked the nation” on September 11, 2001.

“While these terrorist attacks did not break us, we continue to feel their impact on our country to this day. But though they intended to destroy this great nation, they failed, and America emerged stronger than ever before,” the First Lady said.

The governor spoke during a ceremony at Georgia Military College in Milledgeville as similar ceremonies played out across the state.

At Atlanta’s Christ the King Cathedral, the city’s police chief, Darin Schierbaum, recalled what happened after the attacks.

“On September the 12th, there was not Democrat and Republican,” he said. “On September the 12th, there was not Protestant or Catholic. On September the 12th, we had Christian congregations protecting Muslim mosques in our city so they could not be attacked. There was unity.”

In Habersham County, members of the public joined first responders and local veterans for a ceremony at the fairgrounds.

The Grant Reeves VFW 7720 Honor Guard paid tribute to those who died on 9/11 and in the wars that followed with a three-volley salute. Members of the Joseph Habersham Chapter of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution also paid tribute, firing a 6-pound Revolutionary Artillery Cannon during the ceremony.

In White County, local elected officials, members of Woodmen Life and the community gathered at the new tax commissioner’s office. They commemorated the day with a special flag-raising ceremony.

White County Commissioner and retired U.S. Marine Terry Goodger raised the flag. It was donated by Woodmen and will fly over the new office building.

“The raising of this flag serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience of our nation,” said White County Commission Chair Travis Turner.

Flags flew at half-staff across the nation. Georgia’s Nashville and Marietta were among cities displaying nearly 3,000 American flags, one for each person killed in the terror attacks.

Tuberville blockade of military nominees roils hearing for top Air Force official

WASHINGTON (GA Recorder) — The Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday conducted a nomination hearing for the next U.S. Air Force chief of staff, a key appointment caught up in the more than 300 military promotions currently blocked by Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville in protest of the Pentagon’s abortion policy.

Gen. David W. Allvin, now vice chief of staff for the Air Force, fielded questions from senators ranging from F-16 fighter jets for Ukraine to the looming possibility of a government shutdown, which would halt some defense funding and military paychecks.

But members of the panel also pointed fingers and lobbed sharp remarks about the delay of Allvin’s and hundreds of other confirmations.

Tuberville, a Republican, has held back a growing list of nominees from Senate approval because he opposes the Department of Defense leave policy and travel allowances for service members seeking non-covered reproductive care, including traveling to states where abortion services remain available.

Several GOP senators accused Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of refusing to bring top ranking military nominees to the floor for individual votes.

The Senate has historically approved large groups of military nominees in one floor action.

“I don’t think it’d be too much to ask for the Senate to spend a little bit of time on confirming four-star general officer positions like chief of staff of the Air Force or commandant of the Marine Corps,” said GOP Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas.

While the chamber’s majority leader ultimately has authority to break any one senator’s hold, voting on the 319 nominees would take hundreds of hours of floor time just as Congress must pass numerous bills to avert a government shutdown and lapses in federal programs before the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.

Sen. Tim Kaine called Cotton’s comments “laughable.”

“Any attempt to blame the vacancies of these confirmed positions on Sen. Schumer is embarrassing,” the Democrat from Virginia said. “… We don’t mind voting on people, but the implication is, ‘Why not vote on the top brass and just punish all the people below them?’ That seems to be the offer.”

If confirmed, Allvin will be reappointed to his rank as four-star general and installed as chief of staff of the Air Force, filling the role previously held by Gen. Charles Q. Brown, who is the nominee to serve as the next chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Chair Mark Milley’s term expires at the end of the month.

Tuberville, who sits on the Armed Services Committee, told Allvin: “I wish they’d bring you to the floor today. I’d vote for you to be confirmed. Hopefully that happens in the near future.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, directly asked Allvin if the delayed promotions affect the perception of the military.

“Senator, I will tell you that while we don’t have specific hard data, my experience and my personal judgment says that this does hurt recruiting and retention,” Allvin responded.

Warren called the situation a “national security nightmare.”

Sen. Ted Budd, a North Carolina Republican, followed the Massachusetts lawmaker’s questions by saying: “Let’s just remember that Leader Schumer can bring all these wonderful nominees, qualified nominees, to the floor for a vote.”

“Also Secretary (Lloyd) Austin could change this with a stroke of a pen by this afternoon,” Budd said.

According to his office, Tuberville sent a letter to Austin on Dec. 9 notifying the defense secretary that he would hold military nominations if the Pentagon implemented an abortion policy months after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion.

Austin, during Senate hearings and recent military retirement ceremonies, has repeatedly said the holds are threatening national security.

Allvin told senators in his opening statement that his nomination “comes at a very important time in history.”

“Our nation is coming to grips with the rapid pace of change that is upon us and those intending to act against our national interests while aggressively seeking means to do so,” Allvin said.

Committee Chair Jack Reed, of Rhode Island, said he hopes for a “rapid confirmation” for Allvin.

Volleyball completes dramatic comeback for 3-2 win over Toccoa Falls in home opener

Trailing 12-7 in the fifth set, the Piedmont volleyball team had its backs against the wall, but the Lions were able to prevail with an impressive eight-straight points to claim a 3-2 win over Toccoa Falls Tuesday.

It was a back-and-forth battle inside Cave Arena with Piedmont jumping out in front to claim the first set 25-21, but in the second, the Screaming Eagles answered, winning by the same score to knot it at 1-1.

Piedmont was up 20-14 in the second set before the Screaming Eagles rallied for an 11-1 run to end the set with that one point for Piedmont being an attack error by TFC.

In the third, the Lions looked to be in hot water trailing 16-11, but managed to use an impressive run of their own midway through to take charge and take a 25-21 decision yet again.

Leading 2-1, Piedmont was aiming to use momentum to close it out in four, but the Screaming Eagles had other ideas. Piedmont led 20-11, but again, could not close the deal and TFC bounced back to cut the lead to 20-17 before forcing a Piedmont timeout.

Out of the break, the Lions were outscored 8-3 as TFC took the fourth set 25-23.

In the fifth, Piedmont seemed to be running out of gas while the Screaming Eagles took momentum, but with the home crowd behind them, the Lions began to rally down 12-7.

JENNA ASH tallied another kill to send Kaylee Ashcraft Back to serve, where she has been a force for Piedmont this season.

In the comeback, Ashcraft served the final seven points of the match as Piedmont took the victory in dramatic fashion.

Up next, Piedmont has a week off before hosting CCS foe Wesleyan College to open conference play Wednesday, September 20.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
The home team has won each of the matchups in this series.

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES

  • Tuesday’s 19 kills were a career-high for Jenna Ash
  • Freshman Kaylee Ashcraft totaled eight aces in the match giving her a team-best 28 this season.
  • Ashcraft also led the team with 23 digs in the match.

Athens-Clarke police arrest suspect in multiple burglaries

A suspected prowler and burglar is behind bars following a recent string of apartment and auto break-ins in Athens. The incidents occurred between September 8 and 10 in the Waddell Street and Church Street area, police say.

On September 10, Athens-Clarke County police arrested 35-year-old Rashard Blackshear at his home on Broadcres Court in Athens in connection to the crimes.

Blackshear entered an apartment in the 500 block of Waddell Street through an unlocked door on September 8. “A resident awoke to the subject conducting lewd acts in their bedroom,” the police department states in a news release.

In an incident on September 10, Waddell allegedly entered an apartment through an unlocked door in the 300 block of South Church Street and took multiple items, including a pair of AirPods.

Police determined that the AirPods were located in an apartment in the 100 block of Broadacres Court and obtained a warrant for Blackshear’s arrest.

After reviewing surveillance footage, investigators charged Blackshear with multiple loitering/prowling and burglary charges, a probation violation, and public indecency. Police say more charges may be filed.

UGA police assisted with the investigation.

The Athens-Clarke County Police Department reminds residents to lock all doors to their residences, maintain outdoor lighting, and consider installing surveillance cameras.

Residents should also remove valuables from their vehicles and lock car doors to prevent theft, officials say.

The trip between Royston and Hartwell just got a little easier. The Georgia Department of Transportation on Tuesday opened the new State Route 8/US 29 bridge on the route connecting the two cities.

The new bridge runs over Beaverdam Creek. It replaces a 100-year-old bridge crossing that was originally installed in 1923 and widened in 1970.

The new bridge has two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders on each side. With guardrails in place, the roadway was opened to traffic.

Georgia DOT awarded the contract last May to Williams Contracting Company. Construction began last December and took nine months to complete. The old bridge was closed to traffic during construction, and a detour was put in place.

The new bridge is classified as a two-lane rural minor arterial roadway with a posted speed limit of 55 mph.

Meadows appeals federal court setback in 2020 election racketeering case

(GA Recorder) — A ruling by a federal appeals court judge based in Atlanta could become a seminal judgment in the Fulton County 2020 presidential election interference case sweeping in Donald Trump and his inner circle.

Trump’s ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has filed a motion before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals after U.S. District Court Judge Steve Jones late Friday rejected Meadows’ attorneys’ motion for his case to be moved from state court to federal jurisdiction. Meadows’ lawyers asked in the court filing for a stay of the order as he seeks an expedited appeal that prevents the case from moving too far along while the appeal is underway ahead of an Oct. 23 trial scheduled right now for former Trump attorneys Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell.

“Absent a stay, the state will continue seeking to try Meadows 42 days from now on Oct. 23,” Meadows’ lawyers wrote in the court motion. “If the state gets its way, Meadows could be forced to go to trial—and could be convicted and incarcerated— before the standard timeline for a federal appeal would play out.”

Friday’s court order is the latest step in a prosecution of Trump and 18 co-defendants who are charged with attempting to illegally overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election Trump lost to Democratic nominee Joe Biden by fewer than 12,000 votes.

Meadows’ attorneys argued at an Aug. 28 hearing that Meadows was lawfully acting as a federal officer in the aftermath of the 2020 election as a federal officer. If that argument is successful, it would bolster his chances for a not guilty verdict or outright dismissal of the case.

Jones on Friday disagreed with Meadows’ assertion that he was acting in the capacity of his federal job in the infamous Jan. 2, 2021 phone call in which Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to tilt the election in the outgoing president’s favor.

Jones ruled that the evidence in the case shows that Meadows was working on behalf of the Trump campaign, which would be a violation of the federal Hatch Act that bans most federal executive branch employees from being involved in partisan political activities.

Trump requests D.C.-based judge recuse herself in DOJ case

There are several of Meadows’ co-defendants, including Trump, who have already filed or are expected to file for moving their cases to a federal court jurisdiction that could be more receptive to their arguments and might dismiss their cases outright.

Meanwhile, Trump’s attorneys are trying to preemptively block a D.C. District federal judge overseeing a separate election interference case from presiding over a trial connected to charges brought by the U.S. Department of Justice. The federal indictment was unsealed in June, one of multiple indictments of the former president and his allies charging attempts to overturn Biden’s 2020 election victory.

Trump’s lawyers are seeking to force federal court judge Tanya Chutkan to recuse herself from the case because she has previously said while hearing other cases that Trump is guilty for his involvement in election interference.

“Judge Chutkan has, in connection with other cases, suggested that President Trump should be prosecuted and imprisoned,” the court filing states. “Such statements, made before this case began and without due process, are inherently disqualifying.

“Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give President Trump a fair trial- and may believe that she can do or so- her public statements unavoidably taint those proceedings regardless of outcome.”

Felony charges of false statements, forgery, racketeering and election fraud, solicitation of a government employee have also been filed against in the Fulton case that’s been more than a year in the making.

Meadows is one of 19 people a grand jury indicted on Aug. 14 on felony conspiracy and racketeering charges now pending against the 2024 Republican presidential frontrunner. Other Trump allies indicted include Meadows, his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and ex-Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer.

The indictments have widened a rift in the Georgia Republican party.

Fulton prosecutors are pushing to try all 19 defendants simultaneously and predicted last week that 150 witnesses would be called to the stand over the course of four months.
