In case of emergencies
State officials unveil mobile app
From Staff Reports
Georgians now have access to
a mobile app that will guide them
through emergencies.
State officials announced last
week the launch of their new
Ready Georgia app, which uses
geo-location information to de
liver weather alerts, create emer
gency plans and provide details
about shelter locations.
According to Georgia Emer
gency Management Agency
(GEMA) and Georgia Department
of Public Health (DPH) develop
ers, the app is currently available
for iPhones and Androids
“Preparation is key to surviving
disasters, and the Ready Georgia
mobile app makes it easier than
ever for Georgians to get prepared,
just in time for National Prepared
ness Month, which runs through
September,” said GEMA Director
Charley English. "If you’re shop
ping for emergency supplies, you
have a checklist in your pocket. If
you see storm clouds, you can
check weather alerts. You can
even pull up a local map to see if
a shelter has been opened in your
community.”
In addition to localized severe
weather alerts, users will also re
ceive alerts from GEMA and DPH
in the event of other emergencies,
such as terrorist attacks, infectious
diseases or biological threats.
With the number of
smartphone users expected to
grow 55 percent in 2011, officials
say the mobile app is a practical
option to engage residents and
encourage them to get ready for
the unexpected.

Burke County 4-H Wins District 4-H Forestry Contest
A group of Burke County 4-Hers traveled to Reidsville recently to compete in the Southeast District 4-H For
estry Contest. To compete, members of the team learned to identify numerous Georgia tree species, insects
and diseases, estimate tree timber volume by measuring tree heights and diameters and use a compass and
step factor to measure a given area. Burke County 4-Hers swept the contest, winning first place in both the
junior and senior contests and bringing home first, second and third place individual awards in both contests.
The junior contest high individual was Lelan Eberly, second was Kristen VanDeRyt, and third was Michaela
Pollex. High individual in the senior contest was Jennifer McDaniel, second was Kitty Shepherd and third was
Brenden Eberly. The senior team will compete in the state contest at the Rock Eagle 4-H Center. Volunteers
Jane McDaniel and Barbara Hammond coached the team. Pictured above are, from left, front row from left:
Kristen VanDeRyt, Marcus Dixon and Louisa Shepherd; middle row: Kendall Eberly, Lelan Eberly, Kitty Shep
herd, Cynthia Eberly, Taylor Mizelle, Amada Durant, Jessica Dixon and Michaela Pollex; and back row: Bryce

Waynesboro man competes
in Augusta’s ESi Ironman
From Staff Reports
Instead of winding down on
the weekends, one
Waynesboro granddad spent
the past year winding up for his
entry in the ESi Ironman 70.3
held in Augusta on Sunday.
Brad Kyzer was one of more
than 3,000 participants in the
event, which is the largest of
its kind in the world. Only
about 1 percent of this year’s
participants were in his age
group, 60-64. Meeting his
goal, Kyzer completed the
triathlon course, which re
quired athletes to swim 1.2
miles in the Savannah River,
bike 56 miles and then run a
half-marathon, 13.1 miles,
through downtown.
Already an avid runner,
Kyzer had participated in
marathons and other distance
events in the past. But he
stepped up his regimen, add
ing cycling and swimming, and
decided to give biathlons a try
after watching his son Brian
and daughter-in-law Kam com
pete in Augusta’s 70.3-mile
event for the first time last year.
Kyzer covered a lot of
ground on the rural roads in
Burke County as part of his
training program, working in
long runs and bike rides some
times to Millen and back, and
rarely took a day off.
Brad Kyzer competed in the ESi
Ironman in Augusta Sunday.

The weather may not say so quite yet but the banners
in downtown Waynesboro are declaring fall.Thanks to
First National Bank, the lanterns bear new seasonal
banners. As the holiday season draws closer, the lamp-
posts will be decorated with Christmas banners cour
tesy of the Burke County Chamber of Commerce. First
National began the practice of decorating downtown
with the lantern banners more than a decade ago and
has provided most of them through the years. Above,
Amy Lively and Nan Lynch of First National Bank show
off the banners, which are being put up by Roosevelt
Bellamy and his son Alex.
