Submitted Shown during the 1955-56 school year is the Cornelia Regional Colored School at 595 Elrod St. The picture was taken from the school’s first yearbook and the tall man in the center was the school’s first principal, says Audrey Rosser Milo, whose father was principal during the school’s last eight years. The school will be open from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. June 17-21 for the public to see a display of black history in the region, and to see the school itself, which is one of the remaining “equalization schools” in the area.

Submitted Taken earlier this week, this photo shows trash and a severely eroded stream bank at a little unnamed creek in Clarkesville behind the Porter-York House, across from Sam Pitts Park. The city of Clarkesville and Duncan Hughes, Soque River Watershed Association watershed coordinator, are looking into the problem, which Hughes believes is caused by storm water. Awaiting EPD approval, they are also investigating whether some old and capped off pipes might belong to the city. Hughes says the little creek is a tributary of the Soque River.
