GAINESVILLE, GA-- Cara Mund, Miss America 2018, will be making her first public address to the Riverside Military Academy community on Tuesday, 3 October 2017, at 10:45 am, in the Cervantes Theater on campus. Miss Mund was crowned Miss America on September 10, 2017 during the annual competition in Atlantic City.
Miss Mund, 23, is an Ivy League Honors Graduate from Brown University headed to law school. At age 14, she founded North Dakota’s Annual Make-A-Wish Fashion Show. For 10 years she has brightened 23 Wish Kids’ lives, became a “Certified Wish Granter,” and raised over $78,500 for Make-A-Wish. In 2011, President Barack Obama recognized Miss Mund’s charitable efforts. Miss Mund is a national dance champion and trained four summers with the Radio City Rockettes.
Miss Mund’s recent work in the United States Senate and her passion for helping others ignited her own wish — to become the first Miss America from North Dakota. During her visit to Riverside Military Academy, she will bring the perspective of a young adult, thrust into national prominence in an iconic role, and will discuss the importance of character and integrity in fulfilling her duties. Riverside Military Academy will be live streaming this event on their page.
The RMA faculty panel presentation, originally scheduled for 3 October, has been rescheduled to Tuesday, 10 October. A full listing of Distinguished Speakers for academic year 17-18 can be found on the Riverside web site.

From the back porch in Flowery Branch:
The power is back on for much of Hall County as repair work continues from Hurricane Irma, the epic hurricane that roared through Florida and Georgia this week wreaking havoc and leaving almost $18 billion in damage behind.

After “The Nights the Lights Went Out in Georgia,” due to the wrath of Irma this week, Gainesville, Hall County and North Georgia are slowly digging out from the mess the epic hurricane left behind.

The lights are coming back on after more than 40,000 people spent the past three days without power.

In Gainesville, more than 3,300 Georgia Power customers had no power at 10 p.m. Wednesday evening. At the beginning of the day, that number was closer to 12,000. According to Jackson EMC, most all of their Hall County customers would have power by this morning. More than 5,800 Jackson EMC customers remained without power as of Wednesday night.

Gainesville City and Hall County Schools took the rest of the week off to let the roads and power crews do their work and restore life to normal clearing roads, restoring power and repairing damage caused by scores of downed trees throughout the county. School will resume normal operations on Monday.

The local power companies had help from neighboring utilities systems in Georgia and contractors traveling south from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Minnesota.

The Georgia Department of Transportation is working around the clock to restore area roads to normal operations, but said they will be busy clearing road debris for some time.

GDOT's Katie Strickland said crews went to work on roads as soon as weather conditions permitted, and many state roads are passable, however their job is a long way from being finished..

Strickland said crews were able to cut downed trees back 8 feet off the road, but will have to come back and clear the cut trees at a later time. Drivers will still see a lot of trees along roadways and Strickland advised extra caution when driving as road crews are working day and night to return roads to normal.

She said the clean up is really a team effort.

Strickland says more than 250 GDOT personnel along with additional contractors are working around the clock in the aftermath of Irma. She asks that you be careful as you drive, and keep an eye out for the yellow vests and orange cones.

“We'll watch out for you if you watch out for us," she said.

As we work to restore power at the Glory 1330 studios on Cleveland Highway, check here on our Facebook and on Twitter for updates throughout the day.

Your afternoon Hurricane Irma update from the back porch in Flowery Branch:
Power is still out for more than 700,000 residents throughout Georgia as cleanup work continues. Power is still out here in Flowery Branch as an oak tree resting on power lines on Gainesville Street coming out of Flowery Branch near McEver Road still has much of the McEver Road corridor between Jim Crow Road and Friendship Road without power. Some homes have had power restored, while others remain dark for the third straight day.
The same holds true for parts of Oakwood, and the Clermont area in north Hall and other rural areas around Hall County.
Line crews from all power companies are working around the clock to restore power as soon as it is humanly possible.
This is reminiscent of the ice storm in 2014 only in reverse. The end result is still the same, major tree and power line damage that results in massive power outages.
More than 30,000 remain without power in Hall County.
No word yet as to the status of area schools being closed Thursday. As soon as a decision has been made about school for tomorrow, we will let you know.
Road crews are also working to clear area roads of tree debris. All major highways and traffic arteries are open but crews continue to clear debris from roadways.
Many traffic lights are still out of order so exercise caution there. Remember, when a traffic light is out, treat the intersection as you would a 4-way stop, and when in doubt, yield to the next guy. Your turn through the intersection will come eventually.
