UC PANTHERS JV SOFTBALL REMAIN UNDEFEATED

Union County vs White County Junior Varsity Softball
August 23, 2017
Location: Cleveland, GA
The Lady Panthers are still UNDEFEATED with a record of 4-0 and that is something to smile about!

The Lady Warriors proved this statement to be true in yesterday’s game. With no offense to them, it seemed obvious that their pitching staff struggled to throw over the plate.
The Panthers faced three Warriors pitchers – O’Kelly, Vandiver and Anderson. Throughout the course of their 3 full innings, they had a combined total of 11 walks, 1 strikeout and 3 hits. Meaning: an average inning against these pitchers might consist 3 – 4 batters being walked, 1 getting a hit and someone seldomly getting struck out.
Opposite of that, Panthers pitcher Trinity Queen threw all 3 innings with a total of 3 walks, 6 strikeouts and 1 hit. Meaning: an average inning for Queen based on these stats will consist of 1 walk, 2 strikeouts and possibly a hit/ball in play; A.K.A. a quick inning.
With the minimal amount of time these ladies are allotted to play, they waste no time gaining an advantage over their opponent. In the top of the second inning the Panthers put up 6 runs; split evenly between walks (3) and singles (3). The Warriors never managed to score the entirety of the game. And the Lady Panthers brought home an 8-0 victory after a series of walks.
As you can see below, they also display admirable comradely between the coaching staff and each other which is another advantage this team has over others they may face.

Republican Women of Union County April Meeting – We Are Still Here Guest Speaker
Community April 24, 2017
The monthly meeting of the Republican Women of Union County was held at 1:00 pm on April 20, 2017
at Steve’s Steak House and Cookie Jar. Following the Invocation by Linda Hill, President Little
asked everyone to join in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Pat Thibodeaux reminded members that Representative Matt Gurtler will appear at a Town Hall
Meeting to be held at 6:30 pm on Tuesday April 28 at the Union County Butternut Community Center.
This event is hosted by the Towns Union County Tea Parties and co sponsored by the Union County
GOP.
Deb Curlette invited all in attendance to the 2nd annual Kentucky Derby. All proceeds of this event
will benefit Towns and Union County S.A.F.E. The Kentucky Derby will be held on May 6, 2017, 5-
7:30 pm at the Union County Butternut Community Center. Call 706-379-1901 for additional
information.
Members were excited to welcome Jim Brown III, Chairman of the We Are Still Here Memorial,
Kathie Tiger Garrett, and Judy Lanier, Fundraising Chairperson. Linda Hill and Emily Fox introduced
our guests.
Guest Speaker Brown’s fascinating speech explained the purpose of We
Are Still Here. Said Mr. Brown, “Originally, we thought this memorial
was about us, about Blairsville. I came to the realization we had
selfishly made this about us. But seeing the emotional reaction that
tribal members had to the thought of being welcomed home, we
realized this was about them. This has truly turned into a spiritual
pilgrimage reconnecting the Muscogee and Cherokee peoples of today
with the spirits and homelands of their ancestors.”
The Republican Women of Union County meet the third Thursday of every month. The next meeting
will be held on April 20, 2017 at 1 pm at Steve’s Steakhouse and Cookie Jar. We welcome all
interested Union County women to join us at our next meeting.
Union and Towns Partner for the 2020 Census
Featured Stories June 12, 2019
Blairsville, Ga – Union and Towns County formed the Trusted Voices committee for assistance with the 2020 census.
With the 2020 Census rapidly approaching – April 1, 2020, Union, Towns, Blairsville, Hiawassee, and Young Harris partnered with the Patrick Malone to form the Trusted Voices committee to ensure maximum participation.
“We had a meeting six week ago with a lady from the Governor’s Office, Anna Miller,” said Mayor Jim Conley “Commissioner Paris put together an agreement with Mr. Patrick Malone who is here tonight that puts [Malone] in charge of the working end of the Census.”
Mayor Conley asks for committee members for Trusted Voices.
In the 2010 report, Union recorded around 85 percent of the total population. Towns recorded 87 percent.
Malone hopes to increase Census participation in 2020. The organization serves to encourage individuals to answer the survey through door-to-door visits and community engagements. These efforts will gear up in the fall to promote awareness.
“The committee’s known as the Trusted Voices Campaign. The responsibilities are really minor. It’s just being aware what’s going on with the Census and make sure that we exceed last Census’ participation rate,” explained Malone.
Blairsville City Council appointed Councilman Mary Ruth Cook and Councilman Rhonda Mahan to serve on the Trusted Voices committee to represent Blairsville’s interest. They will have one meeting with Malone and then spread the word in the community.
The city paid Trusted Voices $500 to utilize the service. Hiawassee and Young Harris also paid $500, but Union and Towns are expected to cover the rest of the cost.
