            Believe it or not, I attended the University Of Georgia G-Day spring football game at Sanford Stadium back in April. For those who know me, I still bleed the orange and purple of Clemson so before the comments on my Facebook page allow me to explain why I was there.   <br /><a href="http://www.madisonjournaltoday.com/archives/5222-OPINION-I-was-just-a-fan-for-a-day.html#extended">Continue reading "OPINION: I was ‘just a fan’ for a day"</a>

            <strong>May 8, 2012:</strong><em> “Nevada’s DMV handed Google the very first U.S. license for a driverless vehicle on Monday, following 2011 legislation in the state to allow test-driving of vehicles capable of piloting themselves.” </em>— Time Techland<br />
<strong><br />

<strong>(Blog entry from the year 2045) </strong>So, I told my smart car to fire up “Skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight.” Then I set my car pillow at my knees to keep the pressure off my aching back. I told the car to “cue holograms,” then added “polite conversation” — “make it about the beach.”<br />

        <img class="serendipity_image_right" width="80" height="60" style="float: right; clear: right; border: 1px solid #bbbbbb; padding: 2px; margin: 0 0 10px 10px;"

            The diplomas were received, the tassels turned and the red caps flung high May 18 at the Classic Center in Athens as Madison County’s Class of 2012 said “goodbye” to high school.<br />
<br />
Valedictorian Samantha LaZear said graduation day has been in the graduates’ minds for years.<br />
<br />
“When starting high school your freshman year, you have this idea in your head of how perfect high school is going to be and plan everything out, however midway through your freshman year you start dreaming of this very day when you can walk across this stage, receive your diploma and finally graduate,” said LaZear. “We will look back on our high school years and reminisce on all the memories we have made.”<br />
<br />
LaZear said she looks to Tim Tebow for inspiration, because she said he does not follow the crowd.<br />
<br />
“You might not be Tim Tebow’s number one fan, but he has proven himself and his character through his actions on and off the field,” said LaZear, who has signed a softball scholarship with the University of Georgia. “Former Gator or not, he’s someone I look up too and hopefully some day he will call me for a date, and believe me, that’s saying a lot for a future Dawg.”<br />
<br />
LaZear urged her fellow classmates to strive for something more than “average.”<br />
<br />
“We spend tremendous energy on merely being normal or average when that energy can be used for so much more,” said LaZear. “So class of 2012, are we going to be average or be better? It’s our time to burn brighter than the sun and bask in the excellence that is today.”<br />
<br />
Speaker Steven Resby said that “God put 86,400 seconds in the day.”<br />

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[

            
            Madison County schools now have fewer strings attached when it comes to state regulations. <br />
<br />
The school system received “charter” status last week, meaning that more decisions regarding curriculum can be made locally.<br />
<br />
“We’re real excited,” said Madison County school superintendent Dr. Allen McCannon. “The heart of becoming a charter system is instructional innovation and increasing your shared governance.”<br />
<br />
McCannon said the charter status will give the schools opportunities to teach in more hands-on ways.<br />
<br />
“This gives us a chance to provide some creative classes, some creative options, a chance to have some waivers in some rules as far as more innovative instructional classes,” he said.<br />
<br />
For instance, McCannon noted that the change opens doors for students interested in agriculture.<br />
<br />
“You could have a student taking an agricultural class,” said McCannon. “Well, we could actually have that student go out to a farm and actually get credit for working and learning and still doing applied math and applied science.” <br />

            Larry Hjalmarson sometimes sits in his Houston office and looks at a painting of ice skaters in New York City. He pictures someone pulling off the skates and heading back to a high-rise apartment to get warm. <br />
<br />
The vice president of safety, environmental and pipeline integrity for Williams (Transco) knows that the gas that warms those skaters will travel from Houston, through Madison County, Georgia, and up the east coast to the “Big Apple.” He and other company workers are responsible for getting the 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas there safely each day. It takes the gas about four days at 10 miles an hour to make that trip. <br />
<br />
“In 62 years that gas has never stopped flowing,” said Hjalmarson.<br />
<br />
Of course, the gas must be sped up along the pipeline at booster stations, where natural gas is pressurized to help maintain the flow. And Madison County is home to one of Transco’s eastern seaboard booster stations. Actually, Madison County is the site of three major gas pipeline booster stations — one natural gas (Williams) and two petroleum (Colonial and Plantation). In that way, Madison County is a major link in the nation’s energy chain, though it’s easy to overlook this fact, considering that the pipelines are buried three to four feet underground.<br />
<br />
These pipeline booster stations are occasionally in the news locally. Most recently, the Williams station in Comer applied for renewal of its air emissions permit from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division.<br />

            Watson Mill is a “state park.” It has employees on hand to take reservations from those wanting to camp or enjoy its well-known equestrian paths. Its pavilion can be rented for family reunions and other functions. <br />
<br />
Just a few months ago, each of these long-time facts neared artifact status as the state government faced a budget crisis and approved a downgrade for the long-time sunny day getaway. The state Department of Natural Resources changed Watson Mill’s status from a “state park” to an “outdoor recreational facility.” Park employees were laid off. Vandals started showing off their criminal handiwork. Drug busts reinforced leaders’ concerns that the park would become a hub for unsavory activities.<br />
<br />
But local citizens and leaders responded loudly. They wanted Watson Mill to remain a point of pride, not a problem. They talked about the economic impact of the park, how the influx of visitors helps local businesses. <br />
<br />
Local school children wrote letters to the governor, urging him to “save the park.” Local leaders talked with DNR officials about working together to maintain Watson Mill. The negotiations between the DNR and Madison County commissioners continued for months. <br />
