Woolly Adelgid Threat to Eastern Hemlock in Goose Island

The Lumpkin Coalition Website

In the early 1950’s, a small, aphid-like insect was first observed feeding on hemlock in Virginia. This insect was the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), Adelges tsugae (Annand), and an exotic pest native to Asia. The HWA has since spread to 14 eastern states where it threatens two species of hemlock--the eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr. and Carolina hemlock, Tsuga caroliniana Engelm. ...more

Goose Island Resident Lends a Helping Hand

From the Ellijay Times Currier: “Kind hearts and generous people are coming together at a benefit concert to support Ellijay’s own Justin Elliott in the battle to save his life. Eighteen-year-old Elliott has been stricken with a very aggressive form of brain cancer. Recent surgery was not successful in removing the entire tumor, but he is hopeful that continuing therapy will restore him to health. Elliott’s treatment is enormously expensive and the costs will exceed the resources of his parents, Ed and Ellen Grant.

When world-famous, Atlanta-based performers Banks & Shane (Banks Burgess and Paul Shane) heard about Elliott’s situation, they generously offered to give a benefit concert here in Ellijay….the event will be held Sunday, August 3, at the ETC Pavilion on Legion Road in Ellijay. The gates open at 5:30 p.m. and the musicians will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets will be available online, and information can be obtained by calling the concert for Justin hotline at 7606-276-4397.”

WATER CONSERVATION
Despite near normal rainfall the past few months north Georgia & GIHA remains in an "Extreme" drought area. The eight wells in GIHA are providing water for our community but good water conservation practices are still called for.

Remember: "WATER-SAVING DEVICE # 1" is YOU! Please keep practicing water conservation including:

NO watering of lawns or grassy areas!
NO car washing!
RE-USE water wherever possible!

Here's a long list of water saving habits/practices from the "WATER USE IT WISELY" website. Please read & implement as many as you can in your daily use of GIHA well water...more
