The ban lasts through Sept. 30.

The annual ban, which runs from May 1 through Sept. 30, is put into effect due to health concerns associated with pollutants created by outdoor burning — the smoke can negatively impact air quality during hot summer months by contributing to high ozone levels.  

The open burn ban prohibits residents and businesses from burning yard debris or land clearing debris. You can get the full list of what the burn ban laws are from the Walton County Fire and Rescue website.

Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) plans to build a 100-bed facility adjacent to the existing River Place Medical Plaza 1 on Thompson Mill Road.

The new hospital will include an emergency department, diagnostic services and more. Construction of the facility is underway with a target completion date of spring 2015. NGMC Braselton is expected to create 500 new jobs in the area.

Vince Dooley to Skydive with Son and Grandson for Extra Special People

The former UGA football coach and athletic director is participating in the third annual Jump, Fly, Be Different next month in Monroe.

Vince Dooley will be taking the plunge alongside his grandson, Matthew, and his son, Daniel, Good Day Atlanta reports.

Matthew has cerebral palsy and does everything with the aid of a wheelchair, but he chose to mark his 18th birthday by skydiving, Oconee Patch blogger Leslie Hale wrote in a post about last year’s event.  He single-handedly raised $3,500 out of the $21,000 collected. During summer camp, Matthew was presented with a plaque displaying his skydiving photo alongside a sketch of his superhero persona.

The fundraiser was to take place on Saturday, May 4, but has been rescheduled for June 1 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Skydive Monroe at the Monroe-Walton Airport. An announcement on the date change reads:

“ESP is committed to the community and it’s supporters through successful events which includes the safety of our jumpers and attendees. Skydive Monroe has projected that both the cloud height and the wind speed are not acceptable conditions for skydiving.”

All are invited to cheer on the jumpers while enjoying free music and other activities. Food will also be for sale.
