Acworth woman injured in single car wreck
Search for four-year-old thought to have
been in vehicle turns out to be false alarm
Passersby and emergency
crews responding to this wreck
Thursday on Highway 515, just
north of Antioch Church Road,
were met with the addled driver
believing that her four-year-old
had also been in the car. An ex
tensive search of the area begun
immediately by other motorists
and continued by emergency per
sonnel was called off after it was
confirmed by phone that the
child had not been in the car at
the time of the wreck.
Zane McDaniel, one of the
first motorists to stop, said he
feared at one point the child
might have been trapped under
the car.
Darryl Prince, the deputy di
rector of Pickens EMS, said the
37-year-old female driver from
Acworth had suffered head
trauma which may have lead to
the confusion. However, he said
rescuers took it very seriously.
“When they say a child is in
volved it just puts you in another
gear,” Prince said.
The woman was airlifted to
Grady Hospital with head and
other injuries. She was taken into
surgery and remained in inten
sive care late Friday.
No cause of the single car ac
cident was released.
McDaniel, who witnessed the
wreck said, “[The driver] ran off
the left side of the road, jerked
back it on and the car started
rolling started side over side and
then went end over end.” He said
the car came to a stop upside
down after flipping end over end
once. He did not know how
many times it rolled sideways.
He said about a dozen mo
torists stopped to help until the
emergency crews responded.
Another motorist said the
emergency crews from Pickens
County did a “phenomenal job.”
The City Council of the City of Nelson do hereby announce that the millage rate will be set at a meeting to be held at City Hall, 1985 Kennesaw Ave

Tater Patch s latest to open late Oct.
The Sanders Family comes alive
in Smoke on the Mountain
By Nan Nawrocki
In a building somewhere in
Jasper, a family is growing. This
is not all that unusual until you
realize that they’re not a real
family and the year is 1938.
They are the Sanders family, the
focus of the enduring musical
play Smoke on the Mountain.
The Sanders family has a mama,
Vera, a daddy, Burl, and three
children, June and the twins,
Dennis and Denise. And they all
sing gospel music, except for
June who has a special talent.
They have just returned to the
gospel circuit after taking some
time away. They have been
joined by Burl’s brother, Stanley,
who has just returned from an 18
month prison stretch. And
they’ve arrived at a little “church
in the wildwood” for an evening
gospel sing.
The pastor is trying to bring
music into his church - a first for
this small congregation. Two
stalwart members, Miss Myrtle
and Miss Maude, intend to sit
right down front and give these
singers the benefit of their opin
ions. They invite you, the con
gregation, to join them in an
evening of old-time gospel song.
But while you watch, you will be
seeing all sorts of other things
going on. Stanley may not be all
that ready to return to the “out
side world”. Denise, in her own
way, is both ready and eager to
be in the spotlight. The younger
folks have made some “modem”
contributions to the group’s
repertoire. Mama has a lot to do
to keep all this group on “a
string”.
The Tater Patch Players’
fourth production of the 2010
season will make you laugh,
maybe bring a tear, and certainly
make you clap hands and want to
sing along. Director Marcia
Wright has assembled a stellar
cast of old and new performers
who are busily learning songs,
lines and instruments to trans
form themselves into this won
derful family. Keep checking in
with the Pickens Progress and
with the Tater Patch website
(www. taterpatchplayers.org) to
learn more in the weeks ahead
about the actors and the Sanders
family. And mark your calendars
now. The shows, sponsored by
the Community Bank of Pickens
County, will be on Oct. 28-31
and Nov. 4-7. All performances
will be presented at the Pickens
Chamber of Commerce.
