George Sand Greensboro woman arrested at road safety checkpoint By BILLY W. HOBBS, Herald-Journal Correspondent A 62-year-old Greensboro woman was arrested on multiple traffic-related offenses at a road safety checkpoint conducted by deputies with the Greene County Sheriff’s Office last Saturday night at the intersection of Georgia Highway 77 and Brickhouse Road. She was among several persons either arrested or cited for traffic offenses during the road safety checkpoint. The woman arrested was identified as Debra C. Oliver, of Bramlett Road, according to an incident report filed by Deputy William Smith III. Oliver was charged with driving while license suspended, suspended vehicle registration, no insurance, and Violation of the Georgia Open Container Law, records show. After the woman was arrested, she later was taken to the Greene County Law Enforcement Center in Greensboro where she was jailed. Deputy Smith said in his report that he saw a red in color GMC Jimmy approaching the road safety checkpoint along Brickhouse Road. As the vehicle got closer, Deputy Smith said in his report that he recognized it and had previous knowledge that the vehicle was not insured and that the registered owner’s driver’s license had been suspended. Deputy Smith’s previous knowledge paid off, because it later was revealed by a dispatcher that such was the case. Oliver reportedly told Deputy Smith after she was told to get out of her vehicle that she didn’t have any insurance. The woman claimed that she had recently gotten a new job and had planned to get insurance on the vehicle, as well as to take care of the tag registration as soon as she got paid. While waiting on a wrecker to tow the vehicle, Deputy Smith conducted an inventory of the inside of the vehicle. He later discovered an open bottle of Barton Gin. A major 4-day auction highlighting the Gold Rushes of Georgia and North Carolina (1799-1840S) will be held March 15th-18th in Reno, Nevada The auction will be held by Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC, online, via several bidding platforms, and in Holabird’s gallery located at 3555 Airway Dr. (Ste. 308) in Reno, Nev. RENO, Nev. - Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC will conduct a major Gold Rush Sale - celebrating America’s gold rushes from Georgia and North Carolina to California - in a four-day auction event planned for March 15th- 18th, online and in the firm’s gallery at 3555 Airway Drive (Suite 308) in Reno. Start times all four days will be 8 am Pacific Daily Time. For those unable to attend the auction live, internet bidding will be facilitated by iCollector. com, lnvaluable.com, eBay Live and Auctionzip.com. Phone and absentee bids will also be accepted. “The Gold Rush sale will be nothing short of phenomenal,” said Fred Holabird, president and owner of Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC. “Many fine collections will be sold, but the headliner will surely be the Al Adams collection. Mr. Adams’s specialty is an area few people even know about - the Georgia and North Carolina gold rushes of 1799 thru the 1840s.” Gold rushes in Georgia and North Carolina? Yes, they happened, and many years before the far more famous California Gold Rush of 1848- 1855. It began with the discovery of a single gold nugget in North Carolina in 1799. Nearly three decades passed before truly substantive gold discoveries were made in North Carolina and Georgia, all by men with no training in mining. The Al Adams collection includes the first gold company stock certificate from 1807; an 1830 letter from a Georgia bank to the US Mint, asking what to do with all the gold coming in; gold lottery tickets for Georgia land; Georgia Gold Rush land deeds with medals, rarely seen by collectors; a Pigeon Roost Mining Company scrip collection (1835-1838); Georgia and North Carolina gold coins; Georgia gold nuggets; American gold specimens; and US Mint documents. Other items will include a superb Belfast Mining Company scrip collection from the 1830s; gold bullion receipts from Dahlonega, Charlotte, San Francisco, Carson City, New Orleans and the Philadelphia Mint; Gold Rush-era private assayer bullion receipts from seven Western states; and the finest-ever offering of 1840s, 1850s and 1860s mining company stock certificates from the Appalachian gold belt in the east to the three Western states of California, Nevada and Colorado. The world in which the Georgia and North Carolina gold rushes took root and flourished is hard to imagine in today’s modern time. The U.S. had only recently been formed, and the first coins minted, when that first gold nugget was found in North Carolina in 1799. There were only 16 states in 1800. The number crept up to 24 states by 1821 and remained that way for 15 years. Development outside the original 13 colonies was slow. The areas south and west of New England were called the “Western frontier”, populated mostly by Native Americans and ex-pats from Western Europe looking for adventure and a better life. Most were farmers and merchants. The scientists remained in Western Europe. Very little was known about geology at the time. Indeed, the first geologic map was printed in Europe in 1799 and it would be 25-30 years before anything similar was produced in America. That’s what makes the Georgia and North Carolina gold rushes so remarkable. They were forged with no prior mining know-how. Not a single man in the Georgia-North Carolina gold rush had been a miner. It was American ingenuity at its best. There is much more to the auction than just the Al Adams collection. Also offered will be hundreds of mining artifacts, including many collected from Georgia mines, plus a fantastic numismatic library, inclusive of many rarities. The other major collections include the following: • Robert Bennett, the highly regarded mining geologist who spent much of his 45-year career working the Goldfield district. He collected high-grade ore specimens from many major mines he was lucky enough to work for. These are dutifully included in the sale. • Jerry Gray, a longtime collector of gold and turquoise specimens from Carson City, Nev. • Vern Potter, a national ephemera dealer who’s now retired but his massive collection of Gold Rush-era exchanges, important maps and special documents will be in the auction. • Robert Fulton, the late collector of rare mining books and former head of the University of Nevada (Reno) in the 1920s. Another collection, similarly themed, has an inscribed Sutro Tunnel book to Melville Atwood from Charles D. Poston (the “Father of Arizona”). The mining stock certificate collections in the auction “are among the best we’ve ever offered,” Mr. Holabird said. “They include four major collections, including the Laguna Collection of rare Arizona stocks, part of a major Nevada Territorial collection, early California and Bodie collections, antique firearms and rare Tahoe gaming chips.” The auction also features Gold Rush-era coins (including a complete Hart gold token set, all graded and holdered); Carson City coins; a .999 fine golden egg, custom-made for an Arizona collector in 1982; Gold Rush-era soda bottles in hues of cobalt blue, teal and green from San Francisco, Sacramento and Savannah; Nevada mining cap bottles; Pawnee Bill full-color posters; choice Western mining photographs; and other items from an integral part of Western history. Color catalogs are available on request, by calling 1-844- 492-2766, or 775-851-1859.

Three-day “cooling off’ rule explained “Asalesman came to my house selling magazines, and I signed up for a long-term subscription that I really do not want or need just to get him to leave. Can I cancel the subscription?” Better Business Bureaus often hear questions like this from consumers who are not sure of their rights regarding cancelling purchases. Under the Federal Trade Commission’s “Cooling- Off Rule, consumers have three business days to cancel any purchase of $25.00 or more that was made in the consumer’s home or $130 or more for products sold somewhere other than the seller’s usual place of business; such as a rented hotel room, conference center or restaurant. The “Cooling-Off Rule also provides protection for consumers who purchase items at a product party given in a private home. The “Cooling-Off Rule DOES NOT apply to: sales made at the seller’s usual place of business; sales made totally by mail or phone; sales for real estate, insurance or securities; and sales for emergency home repairs. The Rule also DOESN’T apply to sales that begin as retail transactions at a business establishment and are completed with the signing of a contract in the consumer’s home or vehicles sold at off-site tent sales. In cases where the Rule does apply, the seller must give the consumer proper cancellation forms along with any contract or receipt pertaining to the sale. The date of the sale should be noted on the cancellation form, which must read in part, “You may cancel this transaction without any penalty or obligation, within three business days from the above date.” Consumers who decide to cancel the sale should sign and date the cancellation forms, and mail or deliver a copy to the address given for cancellation any time before midnight of the third business day after the date of the contract. Since proof of date is important, the cancellation form should be sent via certified mail with a return receipt requested. There is no need to give a reason for cancellation. You are allowed to simply change your mind. To avoid having to cancel a purchase, the BBB advises consumers to check the BBB Business Review of any company prior to signing a contract; get bids from three different companies; completely read and understand a contract before signing it; never sign a blank contract and never allow a salesperson to pressure them into making a quick decision. For more information on this rule, visit FTC.gov and for more tips you can trust, visit BBB.org. Child Fatality Review Annual Report The Child Fatality Review Team Annual Report of the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit states that there were no deaths of a child between the ages of birth through seventeen years that required a review during the calendar year 2017. This one is about the rites of spring. It may be the best time of the sporting year if you are a baseball fan, as teams are shaping themselves up during spring training. Therefore, one might say, as the regular season has yet to throw the first pitch, all teams, even the Atlanta Braves, are in first place! This bodes well, at least for now. Julio and I have been discussing this in great detail on our Real Country 92.3, and, the conclusion we both came to as far as the outlook for our Braves this season is, ... we have no idea. It seems to me, as I look down the roster, I find a lineup of unrecognizable names, even the projected starters, like, Albies, Acuna, Camargo, Gohara, and Ruiz. I think it’s something about payroll (don’t have to pay em a million dollars yet). Wait till next year. I cannot help but hearken back to the days of Chipper (no relation), Justice, Smoltz, Maddux and Glavine, Dale Murphy and, obviously Henry Aaron. Many do not believe this, but I was fortunate enough to be in the stadium when the Hammer broke the Babe Ruth record. Anticipating all these years of unbelief when I tell of this fact, I saved the ticket stub. Unfortunately, I somehow lost it. I was sitting comfortably, with eager anticipation, in my ringside seat, which was the very back row of the upper deck. If I had leaned too far backwards, I would have ended up in the parking lot on the back side of the stadium. It was then I was hammered with what I thought to be, at first, a brilliant idea. “If Henry hits the homer, let’s run out on the field!” “Yes but,” my friend quickly stated, “we would have to spend the night in jail!” I countered, “but we will be on TV forever!” When the homer happened, needless to say, we celebrated from the safety of our upper deck seats. I was also fortunate enough, in the later years, to enjoy more up front and personal landmark games, including playoff and World Series games. I was there, fifteenth row, when Sid slid home (still got that ticket stub). No attendance for me in the last couple years, even though the Braves send us an occasional ticket (back to the nose bleed section). I find it way more convenient to listen on our radio station or watch on TV, where there are no long restroom lines and no desire for an eight dollar lukewarm beer. By whatever medium, Julio and my radio station team are all looking forward to the start of the 2018 baseball season, ... just as long as we are in first place.
