ATTENTION: Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area announces the partial closure of six miles of the Chattahoochee River within the CRNRA, from Chattahoochee Nature Center to Johnson Ferry, due to a sewage discharge near Willeo Creek Park.

Our Riverkeeper has been in the field and on the water tracking this spill for more than a week. We have been coordinating with the CRNRA and Fulton County. CRK’s water quality tests show extremely high E. coli levels as of Thursday afternoon at the Morgan Falls site and downstream. The CRNRA has issued a sectional closure to protect public health and safety. More information will be provided when available.

Many of you in the rowing & sports communities knew our dear friend who passed away this week…

William Samuel Youtie (Bill), age 67 died after battling a brain tumor.

Bill was born in Camden, New Jersey on November 8, 1955. His love of boats arose from summers spent at the Jersey shore.

Bill was proud of his degrees from Georgia Tech. He graduated with an engineering science and mechanics degree after high school, then returned in his mid 40s to obtain a computer science degree.

Bill had three careers throughout his lifetime. He built oil rigs all over the world. He had a business development career with a Japanese trading company after receiving an MBA from Tulane. He managed large scale IT billing system projects until he retired.

Athletic adventures were Bill’s favorite pursuits. He was a founding member of the Georgia Tech Rugby Club (his nickname was “Battlin’ Bill). He rowed in sculling events as part of the Atlanta Rowing Club. He bicycled as part of ATS and did rides in Europe that paralleled the Tour de France. Bill enjoyed traveling and learning local languages. He had the biggest smile when doing the things and being with the people he loved.

Bill is survived by his wife Jan of Atlanta, sister JoAnne (Bill Stevenson) of Portland (OR) and nephew Andy (Iris). The family thanks Johnny Daniel and his team at Daniel Companion Nursing for the care and friendship they gave to Bill. Donations to the Orr Brain Tumor fund at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital at give.piedmont.org are welcome. “it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” Abraham Lincoln.

Donate Now - Piedmont Healthcare Foundation Donors come in all shapes and sizes, and we're always working to give donors the choices they want to make their donation count. Donors can choose to make an unrestricted gift - which our teams will direct to the highest priority needs - or you can direct your gift to an area that is especially mean...

Foggy morning on the beautiful Chattahoochee River…
