County receives disaster funding Bryan fazio bfazio@covnews.com

Newton County could receive $3.1 million dollars from the federal government after receiving a presidential disaster declaration following heavy rains.

Almost 13 inches of rain fell on Newton County the week of Dec. 23, causing damage to 13 roads. Repair of the roads could cost the county $1.4 million, and spills at the landfill could cost another $2.7 million.

Following the heavy rainfall, Newton County Chair Keith Ellis signed a local disaster declaration, asking the state for assistance.

Nolan then submitted a preliminary damage assessment to the state, including a rough estimate of what kind of damage had taken place and photos of each damaged road, bridge and culvert.

Complaints have been heard about the parking — or lack of parking — available on the Square in downtown Covington.

The recent additions of Your Pie and Sweet River on Washington Street have brought more consumers downtown.

With that comes both new tax revenue and new vehicular congestion.

“We have had exponential growth in our downtown area,” said Ralph Staffins, President of the Newton-Covington Chamber of Commerce. “This growth is something we need to be proud of. With growth comes new challenges. We look

Road closures coming in Covington Skateboard park in Parker Pasture still at least 4 years away from completion sandra brands sbrands@covnews.com

All or part of the Downtown Square will be closed for events ranging from a riding club’s cruise to an agricultural event. The closures were approved at the Covington City Council meeting Monday night.

Approval was given to the Southern Cruisers Riding Club to close the square plus one block beyond for the club’s fundraiser for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital on Saturday, April 10.

The inner circle and inner parking area of the Square will be closed for the Newton County Farm Bureau’s Ag Day and Tractor Show on Saturday, April 16.

The Covington Firefighters’ Memorial Trust Firehouse 5K run/ walk on Saturday, May 21, will begin and end at the Conyers Street gym, 1146 Conyers Street Southeast. Partial road closures of Hendricks St. Northwest, Clark Street Northwest around the Square to College Avenue Southeast, Elm Street Northeast, Lynda Sue Lane, Williams Street Northeast, Anderson Avenue Northeast, Newton Drive North East, Floyd Street Northeast, Dearing Street Northeast and Indie Circle South before returning to Conyers Street Southeast.

Skateboard Park In his remarks at the end of the meeting, Mayor Ronnie Johnston addressed a topic brought up at the March 5 East Ward Town Hall meeting. A resident had expressed concerns about youth looking for places to use their skateboards.

“It was a great question,” Johnston said, “but it bothered me. I’ve got four kids. My oldest is 27, my youngest 18.

I remember them growing up and how frustrating it was to get them to go outside. And here we have kids who want to be outside.

“We do have plans to build a skate park in Parker Pasture, but that’s a long-term goal,” he said, adding that the park was four or more years away from being built.

“I’m working with the two Covington bike shops [Bike World and Square Bike] and several [other] people about coming up with idea and with putting in a mobile temporary skate park,” he said. “I think it’s something worthwhile.

Several communities have addressed this to give the kids a place to hang out.”

Change of time Monday night was the last time the regular meeting of the city council began at 6:30 p.m. Approval of an ordinance changed the start

time to 6 p.m.

In the past, a work session preceded each council meeting, beginning at 6 p.m. Often the work session only lasted 5 to 10 minutes, leaving a 20 minute break before the regular meeting could start. The new ordinance allows the council to put the work session as the first item on the regular meeting agenda.

In other business, the city: • Approved a request from the Housing Authority of Covington for permission to apply for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to address drainage issues at Turner and Alcovy roads. The council will also a letter in support of the application. The Housing Authority is financially responsible for the 5 percent match required for the CDBG grant.

• Approved a contract with VeriStor in Duluth for a data storage array in the amount of $24,748; • Approved a three-year contract with IBM for service on the E911-CAD Server, the emergency dispatch system, at $14,662 per year; • Accepted bids from five electrical supply companies for setting prices for items used

throughout the year by the city. The suppliers were Newton Electric for 62 items; Voss Lighting, 14 items; City Electric, 98 items; LED Lighting Wholesale, Inc., 4 items; and STSC Enterprise Solutions, 3 items. Because there was a tie bid between Newton Electric and City Electric on 7 items, the city could use either vendor.

The per item prices are good for a year. Council member Smith, who is president of Newton Electric Supply, recused himself from the vote.

Accepted the bid of Anderson Grading and Pipeline for $1,983,245 to complete the second of the four phase Drinking Water State Revolving Fund water main project. The complete project is estimated to cost $4.5 million.

Three area organizations receive $15,000 in grants Bryan fazio bfazio@covnews.com

Three Newton County non-profit organizations were presented grants of $5,000 each by the Newton Fund at the Georgia Wildlife Federation building on Hazelbrand Road during Wednesday’s CovingtonNewton County Chamber of Commerce’s lunch link.

Action Ministries, FaithWorks and Newton County Community Partnership (NCCP) all serve the local community and went through a detailed process in 2015 to obtain the grant money. In order to receive the funds, organizations had to submit a letter of intent to the Newton Fund, which goes through a selection process to determine the applicants’ eligibility. Groups then fill out and submit the required forms, and later host site visits by Newton Fund Advisory Committee members.

Action Ministries, which mobilizes communities to address the challenges of poverty by focusing on hunger relief, housing and education, will use the money to fund financial literacy courses.

FaithWorks, which provides Newton County’s neediest citizens with emergency financial aid through the combined resources of

local churches, started in 2006 and has since served 7,800 families and 22,000 people.

NCCP, which addresses the needs of families and children by building community collaborative strategies that foster individual empowerment, is starting a series of community conversations about poverty.

The Newton Fund raises money for these grants through donations and its annual Jersey Day fundraiser. On Jersey Day, employees donate money in order to be able to wear their favorite sports team’s jersey, shirt or hat to work.

Participating businesses in 2014 through15 were Bank of North Georgia, Bridgestone Golf, Burge Plantation, Dr. Leon Leonard, DDS, Dr. Ramon Espinal, MD, Georgia Heart Specialists, Kelly Products, Newton Federal Bank, Nisshinbo Automotive, Qualified Staffing, Snapping Shoals Electric Membership Cooperative (SSEMC), Treasure Thai Cuisine, United Bank and Wagner Services, “Jersey Day was a way we could partner with businesses to get their employees involved,” said Greg Proffitt, Newton Fund Advisory Chair.

Money raised from the Newton Fund was then matched dollar-to-dollar, up

to $10,000, by the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. Each dollar raised by the Newton Fund, Proffitt said, went to Action Ministries, FaithWorks and NCCP since the Fund itself has no operating expenses.

The Newton Fund is run by an advisory committee of Proffitt, Teri Goodman, James Johnson, Betsy Morehouse, Candy Morris, Landis Stephens, Allison Woodard and Katrina Young.

The Newton Fund was established in 2000 and is one of three local funds of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. Since 2000, the Community Foundation has invested almost $2.5 million in organizations in Newton County. During that time, the Newton Fund has awarded more than $306,000 to more than 50 different non-profits.

Former Chair Aaron Varner to run again Bryan fazio bfazio@covnews.com

Former Newton County Board of Commissioners Chair Aaron Varner said friends had been asking him for a while if he would run for political office again. He decided he would “sleep on it” the night of Wednesday, March 9, and the next day woke up still perplexed about whether or not he should run, once again, for Chair.

“I said a prayer, and got a peace that fell over me,” Varner said. “That may be a sign. I said ‘I’ll see if I can go through with this and see if people want me to serve again.’

“People were always asking if you’re going to run again. The closer to qualifying it got, the more intense the lobbying got.”

He came to the conclusion that he would run for Chair, and is planning on qualifying on the Republican ticket this week.

Varner was first elected Chair in 2000 and served through 2008.

“I’m somewhat saddened

election 2016

about the condition the county has gotten itself in,” Varner said. “I just felt like one of the things the chairman needs to be able to do is work with different groups of people, come to a consensus and move the county forward.

“I see quite a bit of that lacking now.” Although he adds, it’s “not a reflection on any one person.”

Since Varner left political office in 2008 when Democrat Kathy Morgan was elected Chair, he has retired and purchased a farm on the Newton/Jasper county line.

“I have cows and calves, and really enjoy working down there,” Varner said.

“It is one of the things that

made my decision hard. I was totally comfortable with where I was at.”

He joins a field with one Republican, Levie Maddox and three Democrats, Phillip Johnson; Michael Syphoe and Marcello Banes, having already announced their intention to run for Chair.

The reason for joining that group, Varner said, is to bring leadership back to the commission.

“It’s going to take a lot of work there as far as leadership roles go,” Varner said.

“I think any time you have a board, you have to get everybody focused on the issues that you have and try to work through them. Most of the time, you’re not going to have a very clear cut way of doing things. That’s where leadership and the ability to work with different ideas comes in.

"I still love this county and love that I was born and raised here,” Varner said.

"The county has a lot invested in me and I just want to be in the position to serve them and give back some of the effort put in me for future generations.”

Michael Syphoe to run for chair

“

Bryan fazio bfazio@covnews.com

Michael Syphoe announced, Monday, his candidacy for Chair of the Newton County Board of Commissioners.

Syphoe, running on the slogan “Let’s make it happen together,” serves on the boards of the Washington Street Community Center and Covington Redevelopment Authority.

“Let’s be the team that reignites the economy of Newton County and implement sustainable work force development initiatives,” Syphoe said. “Let’s be the team to tackle the landfill issues and develop solutions to address the troublesome infrastructure problems in our communities. Let’s take advantage of our world class business investments and develop a competitive brand that can produce unlimited opportunities for our children and grandchildren in the future.”

Syphoe has a Bachelor of Science degree from Kentucky State University in

Political Science and Economics and a Master of City Planning degree from Georgia Tech.

He provides consulting services to municipalities, developers and investors throughout the southeast.

His professional focus includes developing sustainable economic development strategies, project implementation, real estate finance and consensus building.

“I am a visionary urban planner with over 25 years of experience in community and economic development,” Syphoe said. “The challenges we face today are clearly not the result of system failure. It is clearly the inability of our leaders to establish realistic

Let’s be the team that reignites the economy of Newton County and implement sustainable work force development initiatives.”

goals and sustainable growth strategies.”

Syphoe, who is running as a Democrat, attends Graves Chapel AME Church with his wife of 30 years, Audrey and two children.

“If I am elected, I shall regard my election as proof that the people of Newton County have decided to set a new agenda,” he said.

“This announcement is just the start of a movement to change the political culture in Newton County.

“I challenge all citizens to focus on the issues,” he said.

Marcello Banes joins race for County Chair seat Bryan fazio bfazio@covnews.com

Another candidate has emerged in the race for Newton County’s next Board of Commissioner Chair.

Marcello Banes announced his intention to run Tuesday.

Banes has been a business owner and community leader for more than 15 years, and was born and raised in Newton County.

“I have the knowledge and proficiency needed to be an effective Chairman of the Board of Commissioners,” Banes said.

“Equally, as an ordained minister, I have

worked closely with the community and am highly accustomed to working directly with citizens and county employees to support in resolving problems. From a managerial and leadership standpoint, my education has provided me with exceptional business and critical thinking abilities and skills.”

His immediate focus, Banes said, is to take a stance to conserve Newton County’s landfill while keeping the surrounding

community safe from its potentially damaging effects.

Banes is running on three policy priorities: economic development, safety and roads.

He said he wants to focus on doing more to attract industries, restaurants and retail businesses. He plans to work with the members of the Chamber of Commerce in recruitment and collaborate with them in brainstorming ways of increasing the budget.

Along with increasing the county’s budget, Banes said he wants to work to try to bring additional staffing to the Sheriff ’s office, fire services and emergency-911 departments.

“We must explore ways to increase the county budget without raising taxes which will in turn require stabilizing a properly funded budget,” Banes said. “If elected, I plan to acquire our county’s prime issues and integrate them with my top three policy priorities.”

Banes is one of five candidates to either announce of qualify for Newton County’s Chair and one of three Democrats running for the seat.

Breaking the mold Robert Nash retires after 40 years at Department of Public Works Bryan fazio bfazio@covnews.com

In January of 1976 Robert Nash started work in the Newton County department of public works.

He operated a tractor that was pulled behind a motor grader to smooth out and pave the county’s roads.

On February 26, Nash, who has put his mark on many of the county’s roads throughout four decades of service, retired.

In between, he installed headwalls and pipes for drainage of Newton County’s roads, reflowed wooden bridges, worked on asphalt paving, worked on triple surface treatment paving and served as the county’s transportation inspector.

That last role is one that must have been hard to fathom for Nash when he first started 40 years ago.

“When I first came here, it wasn’t a good environment for a black person,” Nash said. “It was really tough back then.”

He said he was tempted to quit more than once, but was talked out of it. That not only defined his character, but also the county’s public works department by the way he led those who worked under his supervision.

“My wife, she said, ‘you know, you’re not a quitter,’” Nash said. “I wanted to break the mold for other black people, so I stuck with it. When I made supervisor, I treated everybody equally.

“They loved it. I didn’t ask one to do anything that I wouldn’t ask the other to do,” he said.

Nash became a supervisor in the early 1980s and earned the respect of those who worked with and for him.

“He was always a good example for the other men to follow,” Newton County Chair Keith Ellis said.

“I think when you have someone stick around that long, and they were good at it, they were liked and respected by fellow workers too.”

One of the reasons Nash was good at his job, and stuck with it for 40 years, was that he enjoyed it. He loves being outdoors, and loved working for the public.

“Most people who have ridden up and down the road have seen me at some point or another fixing potholes or working on drainage problems and stuff liked that,” Nash said.

He has worked with several pieces of equipment on the roads of Newton County when it was speckled with dirt roads, and when it became a web of pavement.

“I think it’s wonderful to have somebody that served Newton County citizens that long,” Ellis said. “Especially when you think about all the roads he’s put a mark on.”

Nash, who was born in Newborn and attended East Newton Elementary school, is planning on

Casey Duren throws his hat in the race for Tax Commissioner staff reports news@covnews.com

George “Casey” T. Duren, Jr. announced Thursday that he has qualified as a candidate for Newton County Tax Commissioner.

Duren, a Democrat, joins the race against the incumbent tax commissioner Barbara Dingler.

Duren has been a resident of Newton County since 2000. He started his career with the Georgia Department of Labor Covington Field Service Office in 1994, and worked in human resources for various local companies. From 2001 to 2014, he was the Human Resource Business Partner for Hillphoenix. He also owns Rapid Tax Service in Covington, and is the Director of Human Resources for Omni International.

“The primary responsibilities of the Tax Commissioners Office are the administration of the billing and collection of taxes,” Duren said. “With me in the office of Tax Commissioner, you can be confident that you have well-rounded, experienced person. I have experience in both the public sector and private sector. I own and operate a very successful tax preparation business here in Covington. Therefore, I will bring an immense amount of experience to the Tax Commissioner’s office.

Duren’s agenda, he said, is to bring more professional-

ism to the Newton County Tax Commissioners office.

He wants to be a visible tax commissioner, who is seen in the public, and in events around town. “This position isn’t a Monday through Friday job,” Duren said. “You’ll see me at events and around town. I will easily accessible to everyone from employees in the office to the people of Newton County.

He wants to push hard to get a kiosk or part time ex-

tension office on the west side of the county, and better educate new homeowners on the homestead exemption.

Duren has an Associate’s Degree in Accounting from Dekalb Technical College, a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resources from Columbia Southern University and a Master’s Degree in Compliance Law from National Juris University. He is a member of Eastridge Community Church, and has one son.

our thoughts Let’s embrace our new “problem” of parking The Covington Square has been a hub of activity lately.

Visitors to downtown Covington have been walking through the Square Park, eating at any of the area’s several restaurants and strolling in and out of its stores, creating a buzz.

If you want peace and quiet, the Square isn’t the place to find it on busy afternoons and bustling weekends.

If you want peace and quiet, we recommend heading over the public parking deck just off the Square.

Any time but Sunday mornings, the four levels are mostly empty. It’s a contrast to what the Square has become, where we see drivers going around and around searching for that perfect space just a stone’s throw from their establishment of choice.

Um, wait a minute.

The parking deck’s purpose is for parking. The Square’s purpose is for dining, shopping, socializing and congregating.

Parking has become a hot issue with those frequenting the Square — patrons, business owners or employees alike. Your Pie, Sweet River and Truvi’s Hair Barn have all opened recently bringing more people to downtown. The Irish Bred Pub restaurant is set to follow, and Newton County’s economic development team is constantly working to attract new — and much needed — business. This is in addition to more established places such as Scoops, Town House Cafe and Kuter’s Cage.

The parking demands of the Square will not dissipate.

And we don’t want them to.

Restaurants and shops lure cars. Cars carry people. People carry wallets. Wallets carry money. Money carries the tax digest.

One of the biggest oppositions we hear to this line of thinking is that all this congestion on the Square isn’t how it used to be. We hear how Covington was fine as a small, quaint town.

Then we think back one, two or three decades ago to when the Square consisted of a movie theater, department stores, a grocery store, and other large centers of commerce. Beyond that, we look through pictures hung on the walls of the Historic Newton County Courthouse and see the Square filled with people gathered for the season’s cotton sale.

The Square was an area for commerce and community. It has been remembered best as a busy place in the pictures we hang on the walls of our most important buildings and the stories we pass down.

It is busy once again. Just last week, every parking spot was taken, air conditioning units of local businesses had to work a little extra as doors constantly opened and closed, families walked along Clark, Monticello, Washington and Church streets, and young people rode skateboards and hover boards around the park.

All those sites can be seen by taking a minute or two. And that’s all the time that is needed on a walk from the parking deck on the corner of Usher and Elm streets that was a joint project between Newton County and the First Baptist Church of Covington.

Leaving the peace and quiet of the parking deck, visitors will have to go down Elm Street, and turn on Floyd, where flowering trees and antebellum houses come into view. Then they have to pass the tasty concoctions of Sweet Treats Bakery, the charm and aromas of RLs and the caffeinated allure of Square Perk. That’s not exactly a bad walk to get to what is the heart of our fine town.

We urge residents and visitors not to get discouraged by the crowded parking spaces on the Square, but to take that short walk and enjoy. It’s also a great way for business owners and their employees to remind themselves what the Square is about on their walk to work from the parking deck every day.

Let’s embrace our new “problem” of parking and use what we already have at our disposal in the parking deck and other on-street parking areas within a few minutes’ walk of Covington’s shops and restaurants on the downtown Square. We would be remiss to not appreciate what we have, even if it is a minor inconvenience periodically — just ask many of our neighboring communities and others across Georgia.

battle and they can’t win the war alone. There are many methods to help kick poverty out of our town, but here are three.

As a community, we need to develop a process to ensure each child has someone read to them daily for 15 minutes starting at age two. It is common knowledge that a child’s success in school increases dramatically when they have someone read to them once a day, out loud.

Perhaps there is a group of senior citizens that can help read to our youth.

We unequivocally have to make sure our students graduate from high school.

We need to create and install a cooperative education program designed to help students at risk of not graduating complete their high school education. They will do this while gaining real-world job experience.

Our business and industry partners probably have some fascinating ideas on how we can accomplish this.

This one falls on everyone’s shoulders and if you are capable of reading this letter, you can help. We need to instill a sense of community pride when it comes to education. Our entire

community can unite and become a place that acts on their desire to see our piece of the planet thrive. Believe me, it all starts with someone reading to you.

I am going to create a committee that will generate plans to accomplish our common goal of increasing our literacy rate. If you would like to be part of this group please send me an email at rjohnston@cityofcovington.org and include a short note about why you would like to be a part of this effort.

Churches in our community do fantastic outreach missions around the globe and I am proud of them for that. Why can’t we take a step back and put some more effort into helping those in our backyard too?

If we all pull the rope in the same direction, we will create an environment where our children and their children thrive and we can end the cycle of poverty that has plagued our town.

The bills touch on very sensitive topics with Georgia voters. They put a lot of pressure on legislators who might want to vote one way, but know that a large portion of their district feels the other way.

If the bills had come up for their final votes prior to qualifying week, legislators who voted the wrong way could find themselves with opposition in their own primary.

Since it is more likely the bills will hang around until after qualifying week is over, lawmakers who don’t end up with primary opposition might feet that the pressure is off. They would be free to vote their conscience on a bill because they would know they have an open road in their primary.

Opponents of the “religious freedom” bill were cheered by Gov. Nathan Deal’s statement last week that he didn’t want to see the measure passed unless it included protections against discrimination.

“I hope we can all just take a deep breath, recognize it is important that we protect fundamental religious beliefs but we don't have to discriminate against other people in order to do that, and that's the compromise I’m looking for,” Deal said.

Deal’s words will have an impact on legislators conflicted by the bill, but the presence or absence of primary opposition could weigh even more heavily on their final decision.

We’ll be getting the answers to those and a lot of other questions soon.

If the girls' on to become a prominent fashion choices arouse the progressive activist in New boys, it's the boys' problem.

This argument has some teeth, though only baby teeth.

It's true that the sternest dress codes apply to the girls, but that's because the boys are already mostly covered up.

Many such dress codes do include the boys. Arkansas, for example, bans showing underwear or revealing the crack of one's butt.

The fact remains that in most professions, the fully clothed man projects more authority than the woman flashing her flesh. It's sad to see smart women on serious news shows exposing their arms, their lower thighs and often their cleavage — while the men's dignity and paunch are protected in tailoring.

Have you ever seen a male commentator wearing shorts?

Many professional women have spoken of the pressures to dress seductively for TV. So why would any branch of feminism egg on high-school girls to voluntarily do to themselves what their older sisters and mothers are fighting?

One wishes the allegedly serious media (The Atlantic and The Nation) would stop playing the dope by feeding an academic feminism that goes inert at the street level.

Again, it's the notion that the boys have no business salivating at the nipples popping out of a girl's spandex T-shirt.

A female student at Woodford County High School in Versailles, Kentucky, was sent home for wearing a tight, lowcut T-shirt and jeans straining

at the seams. Rather than help her to change into something a bit more modest, her mother, Stacie Dunn, posted the picture of her badly dressed daughter online. It went viral, we are stunned to learn.

We forgot, the boys and men are not supposed to ogle.

It's their fault. But one might ask Dunn's daughter whether she wore circulation-constricting jeans and a tight tank top to school because they are comfortable.

Now, school administrators should be ultra-careful about not letting boys who misbehave off the hook.

And when calling out a student for inappropriate dress, they should do so with quiet sensitivity.

The girls, meanwhile, might

look to their cool older sisters for direction. A style writer observing the innovative summer dress of 20-somethings in hipster Brooklyn noted, "There is nary a spaghetti strap or strappy stiletto to be found."

High-school girls from South Orange, New Jersey, have launched a highly successful #IAmMoreThanADistraction campaign on Twitter. Too bad Miss America of 1951 was born too soon to turn her famous line into a hashtag: #IAmAnOperaSingerNotAPinup.

That would have made for an intelligent conversation.

Would you pay to park on the Square?

>> From front page

Yes:

forward to working with the city of Covington to meet these opportunities head on.

“Discussing parking around the Square is a positive thing in our eyes,” agreed Trey Sanders, Public Relations Manager for the city. “It means the square is vibrant and people are shopping and eating in the heart of Covington.

“There is a perception that parking is an issue around the Square and it really isn’t,” he said. “People want to park directly in front of the store they want shop in or the restaurant they want to eat at. If they are willing to walk a block or less, they can typically find a parking place with ease.”

But others disagree. Council members Chris Smith, Post 1 East, and Hawnethia Williams, Post 2 West, reported at a council meeting last month that merchants on the Square had serious concerns about the lack of parking.

The concerns are not new, and last year, the Covington Parking Authority commissioned Kimley Horn to study and make recommendations about improving parking on or around the Square. The study was submitted to the city council in September last year. (See story, “What to do with downtown parking,” at http://www.covnews.com/ archives/60565/.)

“They [Kimley Horn] detailed our current parking condition and gave us ideas for future improvement, if

Newton’s request then joined 32 other Georgia counties requesting help from the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA).

“Out of the 33 counties, Newton sustained in the top 10 for amount of damage from the rain events,” Nolan said.

Starting Dec. 23, 2015, a storm system stayed stationary over Newton County, causing water to erode some roads and culverts and wash out bridges.

On top of the damages, the county’s public works crews also worked overtime, enacting emergency protection measures, including

needed,” Sanders said.

He added that Mayor Ronnie Johnston, City Manager Leigh Anne Knight and Planning and Zoning Director Randy Vinson will revisit the study and talk to the consultants.

They are planning to hold a town hall meeting to discuss options moving forward, he said.

“We hope to have that meeting sometime in April,” Sanders said.

The study showed that, while parking on the Square, and in the public lot north of the Square, during the peak hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. may be difficult, there are underutilized parking areas nearby, including 319 parking spots on the street within two blocks of the Square and 142 spaces in the First Baptist Church parking deck.

“There are plans to create golf cart parking in spaces where cars can’t fit,” Sanders said.

putting up barricades and conducting estimates on the damaged areas.

The roads damaged were: High Point on Forest Drive; Bentley Place Way; Elks Club Road at Dobbs Road; Sewell Road at Morehouse Road; Henderson Road at the Jasper County line; Butler Bridge Road near Enfield Drive; Mills Drive near Smith Store Road; East End Road at Railside Drive; Dobbs Road near Elks Club Road; Old Post Road near Gaithers Plantation and 2556 Henderson Mill Road.

Along with the roads, Newton County’s landfill also sustained damage from leachate overflowing into a retention pond.

Newton County’s Public Works Engineer Chester Clegg and Newton County’s Public Works Supervisor Chris Maclom, worked with Harbin Engineering to provide a preliminary damage assessment on the landfill to Nolan, who sent it off to FEMA. “When all is said and

Kimley Horn’s recommendations included installing directional signs directing people to nearby public parking, establishing parking time limits on the Square and on adjacent streets, adopting fee-based parking around the Square and, if needed, building additional parking southwest of the Square.

The changes would be broken up into four phases. The first phase was to install signs for pedestrian and vehicle traffic directing people to facilities and public parking. Capital costs were estimated at $29,500.

Sanders said, it is too early to tell how successful they have been. However, he said, comments about the signs has been favorable.

“The new signs are part of the education about other public parking close by,” Staffins said. “I think this education is part of the solution to letting people know there’s parking

done, we’re looking somewhere in the neighborhood of $2.7 million total that could potentially be reimbursed by the federal emergency management agency to help with the situation,” Nolan said. “Take in to consideration that it would have been an expenditure the county would have had to pay themselves whether we receive funding or not.”

Thanks to the presidential declaration, the county won’t have to pay for the damage itself.

The declaration covers damage spanning from the period of Dec. 22 through Jan. 13. FEMA funds were released Feb. 26, Nolan was in an applicant briefing March 4 and met with FEMA assigned project worksheet writers in Newton County Thursday.

“Project worksheets are individual reports of damage that are prepared by FEMA and submitted by each damage reimbursement site,” Nolan said.

Each road project will

close by the Square.”

Phase two would be to establish parking time limits in and around the Square. It is estimated to run $25,000 in capital costs with annual operating costs of $73,000 for two enforcement personnel.

In the draft of the parking study, Kimley Horn said, “The existing parking operations include free on-street, off-street public, and offstreet private facilities without time limits or enforcement. The greatest parking occupancy exists around the square where boutique retail promotes quick turnover, while restaurants require more spaces for longer periods of time. In some cases, employees are parking in prime parking spaces around the Square, leaving less available spaces for visitors and patrons.”

The report further states that if parking occupancies remain at 65 percent or higher after time-limited parking is instituted, the parking authority should consider adopting phase three and four.

Phase three would be to start charging for parking on the Square while retaining time limited parking within one block of the square. The cost of this phase is estimated to be between $96,000 and $190,000 in capital costs.

As existing and future developments come into the historic downtown area, the final phase would be to build parking southwest of the square, which could run between $800,000 and $4 million in capital costs. Annual operating costs would be an additional 20 percent of the construction costs.

Since the landfill is so large, its problems will bring reimbursed incrementally, according to Nolan.

The reimbursements for repairs will be paid in portions of 75 percent by FEMA and 10 percent by GEMA. Newton County will be responsible for the

balance. Nolan said most of those expenditures can be covered by in-kind services, such as the submission of project worksheets administrative functions of jobs that need to be done.

Nolan shared the news of the presidential declaration at the most recent board of commissioners meeting, to the satisfaction of the board.

“You worked your fanny off to do it,” Ellis said during the meeting. “You’re one of the best employees we have and we have a lot of great ones.

Eagles pick up first win against Riverdale shakeem holloway sholloway@covnews.com

After coming close to victory against Walnut Grove on Tuesday, eventually losing 2-1, the Eagles finally put a check in the win column with their 6-1 win against Riverdale.

“We really simplified things. We changed up our formation last week and we really actually played really well against Walnut Grove too it just didn’t kind of quite bounce our way, but tonight it bounced our way a little bit more,” Coach Champ Young said. “We really at-

tacked, attacked, attacked and got into the spaces a lot more, trusted each other a little more and just kind of emulated what we’ve been training and doing the last few days. The kids played well. I was pretty pleased the way they played tonight.

Top to bottom everybody

came in and played well.”

The Eagles got it going early and often. Drew Stephenson scored at the 37:12 mark after beating a defender to the ball and getting inside the box to shoot it right past the keeper for Eastside’s first score of the game.

Eastside missed two op-

portunities to score, the second coming on a terrific corner kick from Kade Mote that Stevaun Samuels just missed connecting with on a header.

However, in a beautiful display of passing, Mote found Stephenson on a cross, who led Terrell Francis with a pass, allowing him to

Hawks nab Birt shakeem holloway sholloway@covnews.com

Tim Birt has made his decision, and he chose to play college football at Huntingdon College after narrowing the choice down to two schools, Huntingdon and Pikeville.

“Football has been my dream ever since I was a kid,” Birt said. “Not many people get to accomplish their dreams and when it came in front of me I had to take my opportunity and run with it and I had to put in all the work that I could and use my resources to the best of my ability.”

After receiving counsel from his coaches and parents, Birt chose Huntingdon because he felt it was a better school academically and athletically.

“After I went on my visit I fell in love with the place and I had a couple offers that I liked and when I talked with my family and my coaches we limited down to two schools, which was Pikeville and Huntington,” Birt said. “Most of ‘em were just convincing me to talk to God about it, and I talked to God then I saw that Huntington was the best academically and football-wise.”

Eastside Coach Troy Hoff raved about Birt and his work ethic after the signing calling Birt a hard-working kid, both on the field and in the classroom. Hoff added that Birt has a lot of room to grow having missed most of his junior year before coming on strong as a senior.

“He’s been a workout warrior,” Hoff said. “He’s that guy in the off-season, still is. Lot of upside. [He] takes this game seriously and I think if you look at a lot of our guys, he’s improved a tremendous amount over the last two years.”

“My coaches liked my mentality and my leadership skills,” Birt said. “I always pushed everybody to work hard and I just worked hard also. I helped the kids academic-wise too, because I know some of them aren’t the brightest and they don’t

Alwes’ hat trick leads to Eastside victory shakeem holloway sholloway@covnews.com

Hannah Alwes was on her game Thursday night at Sharp Stadium. Alwes scored all three of her goals in the first half to build a 4-0 Eastside lead at halftime that led to a 7-0 Lady Eagles win to beat Riverdale.

With the win Eastside has started 2-1 in region play, with the only loss coming to Pike.

Riverdale was able to keep an effective Lady Eagles offense out of the net, by clogging up the box and blocking shots with numbers.

The Lady Eagles were more aggressive on offense and created more shot opportunities, but the Lady Raiders’ defense wasn’t budging. It worked for a while and then the Lady Eagles went to work when Alwes scored at the 21:32 mark of the first half, for Eastside’s first goal.

Allie Dumaine would find Savana Arwood almost five minutes later and just one minute and 49 seconds later Morgan Green’s corner provided Alwes with her second goal of the game.

With the box clogged by Riverdale defenders, Sydni Greer’s shot attempt was blocked, but Green was able to follow up with a shot of her own with just 1:55 left in the first half, for a 4-0 lead.

Coach Joel Singleton praised Alwes’ efforts for the game and his team’s effectiveness against Riverdale’s defense. “[Alwes] plays defense pretty much 95 percent of the time, so today was a game we could get her some midfield time and she made the most of it,” Singleton said. “A game like this is tough because they keep everybody packed in, so it’s hard to get shots. They bunch a lot.

If you get an open lane for a pass you got two or three girls on you. The second half we really tried to talk about spreading the field and working on the fundamentals.”

Alwes completed the hat trick just 40 seconds out of halftime with a nice shot that gave the Lady Eagles a 5-0 lead. Eastside was able to score off ricochets when Riverdale clogged the defense, an adjustment they made at halftime.

“It was a positive thing,” Singleton said. “I told the girls at halftime, always expect it. Always expect it because it’s kind of like pingpong, you just have to keep your eye on the

The Lady Tigers really have a knack for shutouts, having shut out four teams this year including Wednesday’s 10-0 win against Henry County.

Though Alcovy’s offense is always exceptional, the defense doesn’t get enough credit, especially keeper Daphne Ramirez, who has had a huge role in Alcovy’s shutouts this season.

“Daphne has been awesome,” Ubriaco said. “The entire defense has been awesome. A lot of times the offense is getting the credit because we’ve had four games that have ended early, but the only way they’re ending early is because the defense is not letting anybody in.”

“As a first-year coach, the hardest thing usually to find is a good goalkeeper and when I came into this situation I was told, ‘You don’t have to worry about goalie.’ Not having to worry about that all-important position is amazing.

So that gives us an opportunity to work on some other things as well,” Ubriaco added.

Ubriaco calls Ramirez an excellent communicator and says that she communicates well with the 18 different personalities on the team, which is something Ramirez showcased early in the contest keeping her teammates lined up correctly and being a defensive leader. It didn’t last long because Alcovy’s defense was able to keep Henry County from getting past midfield for most of the game.

Ramirez, however, doesn’t do it alone. She’s got defender and team co-captain Aleea Bishop, who also scored in the game, to help lead the defense. With the

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — With representatives from 29 teams from the National Football League in attendance, the University of Louisville football program conducted its Pro Day Wednesday when 14 players worked out in the Trager Indoor Practice Facility.

Former Cards went through testing in the weight room before doing position work in front of scouts and position coaches from NFL teams.

With a small senior class, the Cards had a small group available beginning on Wednesday morning. Teams went through injury reports and watched film before getting an opportunity to work out the former Cardinals.

Defensive end Sheldon Rankins, a projected first-round pick, bypassed most of the day's activities before ending the day with position drills.

"I think it went well," senior defensive end Sheldon Rankins said. "I just did position work. It was fun today. The last two months have been a whirlwind. The

Womack’s 4 RBI gives Eagles 1st region win shakeem holloway sholloway@covnews.com

Eagle baseball is coming off of a terrific season that saw the team get to the playoffs and contend in a tough region. This year’s team hasn’t met their own expectations, even though they carry a 4-3 record, but Monday’s 11-1 region win against Hampton has them on the right path.

Nick Womack was 2-3 with four RBI, including the game-winner that scored Austin Holloway in the bottom of the fifth inning to secure the mercy-rule victory. Overall, the team played well offensively and after scoring just two runs in the previous two games the Eagles were able to re-work their mental approach at the plate and it resulted in them drawing nine walks against Hampton.

“We hadn’t been doing that. We’ve been going up there swinging at balls on the first pitch. So that’s what we talked about all day yesterday at practice. We hit some yesterday afternoon and we worked hard on just the mental approach and what you’re looking for in certain counts and that’s my fault. That’s my fault as a coach,” Bruce Evans, Eagles’ coach, said. “I felt like we were coming back off a good year and they made such great strides last year hitting that I thought, ya know, they had it. We just come walk in here and we go through and they’d hit the ball, but really I should’ve covered it a lot more, re-taught the mental approach and stuff.”

The Eagles hit the ball well and remained smart at the plate, scoring five runs on three hits in the first two innings. Eastside did allow one run in the top of the third, but outside of that Josh Sims rebounded from some early mishaps as the Eagles’ defense made excellent plays to help out their starting pitcher.

“We need to get these guys some work,” Evans said regarding Sims. “We haven’t been able to get work for Josh and Chase Raines and some of these other guys just haven’t been able to get any work because Charlie [Greenich] and Gray [Ritchey] have been throwing seven innings and giving up two hits, so these guys haven’t been able to get work.”

Evans acknowledged Hampton isn’t as good as some of the competition the Eagles’ have been playing, but he also recognized Hampton as a much improved team. Still, the Eagles are focused on themselves and their

“All year we just hadn’t hit the ball. We’ve had good pitching and defense all year long,

they’ve done their jobs and we just can’t score runs,” Bruce Evans, Eagles’ coach, said. “My whole coaching career I’ve said if we can

Tigers trample Warhawks shakeem holloway sholloway@covnews.com

On a slightly chilly Wednesday night, Henry County hosted Alcovy and the Warhawks were stomped by the Tigers 4-1.

The game started slow offensively for both teams.

Alcovy had more shot opportunities, but couldn’t convert. The Tigers’ drought was over when Marley Stephenson broke free and used his incredible speed bypassing Warhawk defenders to net a goal in the 27th minute.

Alcovy didn’t score any more in the first half. The Tigers saw one shot fly just above the post with 10 minutes left in the half. Depsite having an advantage in speed with Stephenson, Conrad Martin Jr. and Chris Rukundo up top, the Tigers only led by at the half.

Coach Thomas Hoffman laid into his team at halftime to get them to play harder and essentially, it worked.

“We’re young and when you’re young you’re up and you’re down, you’re up and you’re down, as I was telling them that’s not the same effort we got earlier on in the year. We’re not in position

yet that we can come in and underestimate anybody,” Hoffman said.

Hoffman says it’s frustrating because he doesn’t think they know the potential that they have.

“When we come ready to play like I know we can play, we look good. At times in the second half I saw glimpses of that team. We just need to get back to work,” Hoffman said.

Conrad had a bit of a coming out party in the second half. He scored on a free kick at the top of the box in the 32nd minute in the second half. Conrad then scored again with just over one minute to go in the contest.

“He’s been close this year and you can tell the frustration in his face,” Hoffman said about Conrad. “He takes that one extra touch and it’s a bad touch. Luckily tonight he was able to finish.”

Stephenson, Conrad and Rukundo are three of Alcovy’s best and two of them are sophomores with Stephenson being a freshman. Hoffman thought all three played well.

“Those guys just gotta learn to keep playing. Keep playing, keep battling. I kept telling Okundo, you gotta

be a little bit stronger down there in the box. You gotta kinda have that killer instinct. Once they get it – and it’s so hard in a game like soccer, a team sport because you tell ‘em to be selfish, but at times they need to spread the ball around,” Hoffman.

Outside of Alcovy’s top three, goalkeeper Austin Davy, played well in his first game back from injury. Davy had a few good stops in the game, but just missed out on a clean sheet with the Warhawks scoring late in the second half.

“He’s another one. This is his first game back after four and I thought he looked well. It was good to have him back,” Hoffman said.

“Joe played excellent when he was called upon the past couple games, so it was good to get Davie back in the routine of things. There’s a little bit of rust there, you can tell.

Sometimes he came out of the box bobbling it, but I thought he played a good game tonight.”

Alcovy’s record improved to 3-3-1 (2-2) with the win and the Tigers will look to get over .500 on with a win against Rockdale on Tuesday at home.

Eastside Coach Champ Young looks on with his team up by five late in the game.

past two defenders down the left sideline, sneaking in the box and shooting one right past the keeper.

Riverdale started to play well offensively in the final 20 minutes of the first half, but the Eagles held the Raiders to just one shot on goal in the entire half.

Another beautiful display of passing from Mote to Stephenson to Francis saw the Eagles go up 4-0 with 14:30 remaining in the first half. Francis’ completed the hat trick on a pass from Christavian Varner-Halbeck,

for Eastside’s fifth goal to go up 5-0 at halftime.

Riverdale would score on a penalty kick, their only goal of the game, as the Eagles went on to win 6-1. Eastside’s passing short and long was exceptional. Young was appreciative that his back and front line were able to spread the field and find the lanes to get open, as most of the Eagles goals were with players uncovered.

Young praised his young freshman, Mote, who showcased exceptional passing and scored Eastside’s final goal.

“He’s had to play because of our injuries and just things that have happened this year so he kind of came in and

he got his feet wet against some of the big boys that are ranked. We got to play somebody not quite at our level so we were able to spread the ball around. He had a little more time to show what he could do,” Young said.

The Eagles are young and they’ve played their competition well despite this being their first win. Outside of Johnson, who is undefeated and beat the the Eagles 9-1, the Eagles haven’t been beaten by more than three runs and two of their losses have been by one run.

Eastside has a young team, they only start one senior, but they’re improving and could be set to turn the corner with Thursday night’s win.

ball literally. I said, ‘We just need to settle it. Settle it and send it better.’”

The Lady Eagles won the game with Alwes’ first goal, but they were able to keep it that way with their exceptional ball control, winning the time of possession battle.

“We did a good job. We’ve been working a ton on possession this season just because of the region we’re in. We have games like this, we have games where we’re playing teams that are ranked in the top 10. It’s a hard mix so I told them on games like this where you know that they’re gonna pack it in and maybe their technical level is not gonna be at ours, we have to work on the fundamentals. Gotta work on sharing the ball,” Singleton said.

Singleton says the team is taking it one game at a time, their next match is at Griffin – who beat them in a close 3-2 contest last year – on Tuesday 5:30 p.m. and that’s who the Lady Eagles are focused on.

come from the best background so they need a little help and I try to help ‘em the best I can.”

Birt finished the season with 30 tackles, seven for loss, three sacks and one fumble recovery. Birt is a great kid in the classroom and despite having other chances, he chose to become a Hawk because of their academics, a decision Hoff gives Birt a lot of credit for.

“He’s got his priorities right.

Great character kid, he’s involved in a lot of things. He hasn’t been just a football kid.

He’s been a part of the student body and doing a lot of different things at Eastside,” Hoff said. “He’s one that we look at as a true student-athlete, we’re excited for him and fortunate for this opportunity. It couldn’t happen to a better kid.”

Hoff was there to answer questions Birt had and was glad Birt put the important things, such as school, first.

“I know there’s gotta be a mix between the athletic side of it with the football and the school, but we always tell ‘em if you can see yourself going to school there without football, it’s probably the place you wanna go,” Hoff said. “I think him looking at that, he did a lot of research, talked with the people at both schools academically as well as footballwise and I think he came to a good conclusion.”

Birt says that he wants to play football all four years while double majoring in sports management and law.

After he graduates, Birt plans to start his own sports agency and open up a gym.

rest of the back line and Ramirez, the Lady Tigers have a formidable defense.

On offense, Baylea Payne opened up the scoring for Alcovy at the 36:17 mark of the first half with an assist from Sydney Ziglar. Not a minute later Ziglar’s shot on goal was blocked, but it bounced right back to Katie Barton, who shot it right past the keeper for the Lady Tigers’ second goal of the day.

combine solidified to me that the NFL dream was almost here."

A participant in the NFL Combine at the end of February, Rankins was able to showcase his skills for all the NFL teams, but for the other players who didn't receive an invitation, Wednesday's Pro Day was their opportunity to shine.

"I had a good two months of training," linebacker James Burgess said. "I didn't get an invite to the combine so this was my chance to showcase my talents. I felt like I did a pretty good job out there today, but hopefully teams can go back and watch my game film."

Burgess, who was second on the team last year with 91 tackles, weighed in at 236 pounds, which was almost 10 pounds heavier than he played last season.

"I thought I had a pretty good time out there today," Burgess said. "I put on a

Ziglar was a big piece, as she played all over the field.

“She’s amazing,” Ubriaco said. “Wherever I put her, she seems to be the best player there.

I put her up top, she’s one of the best forwards.

I put her in midfield, she’s one of the best midfielders. She’s unbelievable and she’s only getting better. She’s only a sophomore.”

“I can’t ask for anything else of her. She puts the ball in the back of the net when we need it, she controls the middle of the field when we need it and when I needed her to go back and play defense and let some other people go up, she was able to do that,” Ubriaco said.

Ubriaco says that it’s refreshing to have players like Ziglar and Bishop – who are the

few pounds, but I still ran a pretty good time. I thought it was a pretty good day. I expected to run about a 4.6, which I did so I was pleased with my performance."

Running back Corvin Lamb turned heads with his speed this afternoon. Tak-

ing off in the 40-yard dash, Lamb ran a low 4.3, which is the main asset he brings to an NFL team.

"I knew I'd put in a good time and I did," Lamb said.

"My speed is definitely my strength. I'm healthy now and was able to showcase my speed

team’s co-captains — on the field, because of their experience and ability, they act as coaches on the field. He adds that the team really respects Ziglar and Bishop, despite Ziglar’s quiet resolve, she’s a leader and when she does speak, people listen.

Even with their impressive 5-1 record, Ubriaco says there are areas he wants his team to improve and that they’re trying to learn from their 2-0 loss to region foe Lakeside.

“We need to work on the short passing, control the ball,” Ubriaco said. “Because when we play the upper echelon, when we play the Lakeside’s, when we play the Tucker’s, we can’t win just by out-running them, we’ve gotta outta play them. As my girls say, we’ve gotta out-soccer them.”

Not helping an aging parent with finances The reality is that we all age as evidenced by my upcoming 50 year reunion of the Newton High School Class of 1966. My Mother died in 2004 and would be 95 this year. We still have my parents’ 786-2470 phone number and on occasion, a call is received “confirming her recent purchase of a particular item or investment.”

That’s really swell.

Financial exploitation of older seniors is becoming more common. Dementia and other impairments add to the vulnerability.

On more than one occasion over the years I have alerted children of aged parents about large withdrawal requests. If you have elderly parents and have not done so, have a discussion with them about protecting their assets from potential financial fraud.

A 2011 Met Life study showed elder financial abuse was approximately $2,900,000,000 per year.

It’s much higher now.

Those of There is no betColumnist you who read ter gratification my column than knowing people enjoy reading your regularly and follow me work and want to hear more on Facebook already know and there's plenty more yet what I'm talking about, to be told and I look forward but for those who don't, I to entertaining and enlight- don't mean another furry, ening my readers. Thank four-legged addition to the you to each and every one family. I love talking about of you for letting me know my family, pets included, you enjoy my columns and and they certainly give me thank you to the editor for plenty to write about, bless giving me the opportunity their hearts. Don't get me wrong, Opie and Little Bit to do what I love!

To bring you up to speed, are my other spoiled babies it's been a few years since who thought they ruled the my last column — three to roost, but have been ousted be exact — and there have by an adorable little girl.

A little over three years been a few changes which have left me with less time ago, our first granddaughto do all the things I would ter was born and she and like. Like many people these her mother moved in with days, I took a second job us. All my time has been working weekends, which spent loving and spoiling in turn provided more fod- her while everything else der for my columns, but less was put on the backburner time to get it on paper and for a while. Our son got married shortly thereafinto prInt. The other thing keeping ter and blessed us with a me from writing was my 6-year-old grandson and

another granddaughter born in 2015.

So, life at the Rowe house has been non-stop chaos in three short years, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. With three little ones, it's a lot to keep up with but I am blessed to have the best of three little worlds. All the little milestones I haven't had time to put onto paper have been captured in pictures — and that's another project on my never ending to do list. One is a first grader, another will be starting pre-school and the youngest just turned

one and is taking steps and walking. They're growing up too fast, just like their parents did, but I am so thankful I get to share this with my kids and re-live those priceless moments.

For now, every day is a big step in their lives with new discoveries and treasured memories filled with laughter, smiles, hugs and kisses.

This Grandma has a lot to talk about these days and I confess I can't stop talking when it comes to these precious grandbabies. You'll be hearing a lot more about them but there are a lot of

other things to cover, too.

While some things have changed, others haven't.

We've lost some very special people, had some really good times and heartache, too, but learned to live each moment of each day to the fullest.

At last check, all was well in Covington and Social Circle (for the time being); most everyone is healthy or trying to be; new babies are being born every day; I still haven't won the lottery; the Georgia Bulldogs still haven't won an SEC championship title; and Dale Jr.

is determined to win the NASCAR championship in 2016 — and with Jeff Gordon out of the picture, finally, we're both confident this could be his year. That's what I keep hearing those little voices telling me when I get a lottery ticket, too.

We all have dreams but dreams are all they'll be until we give them life and make them come true. I look forward to hearing from all of you too, so drop me a line and stay tuned.

The Picker's Circle, at Cowboy's I must say “Good gosh a'mighty — BBQ, 1066 Hwy. 142 in the Dixie that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!”

And thanks to the few folks who Community, on Saturday, March 19 at took my suggestion to, literally, holler 6 p.m.

While at possible, but that, also, is okay.

So...let's get down to the brass tacks. the Picker’s Circle, you should grab a sandwich.

We've given this Sycamore crowd cool and laid back. What more do you

need than great food, great music and great people.

Featured Artist: Mack McKibben Mack is the best. He really is. When there was a legitimate need in C-town for a music store, Mack answered that call. That alone makes him awesome in my estimation. When I need those strings, picks, or guitar cables, all I need do is head to the Square. He's also got a ton of folks teaching lessons for a bunch of different instruments there as well. A strong selection of guitars, amps, keys, etc., just adds to it. On top of all of that, though, is this: the guy is just amazing on the keys! I mean, really great! His primary endeavor is the well-known Drive Time — Covington's All-Star Band. He also still does a Jazz Combo on the side. He'll tune your piano and teach you piano lessons, too. I just still appreciate the fact that I don't have to go to Conyers to buy strings anymore. I tell him that every time I go in. Thanks, Mack.

Alright then, I guess that's a wrap.

So, smoke signals or yelling at me are both acceptable forms of communication. Also, feel free to call into The News at 770-787-NEWS (6397). Till next time...

Marshall McCart wears many hats, but being a musician and musical enthusiast are chief among them.

You have either adjusted your clocks to Day Light Saving Time, or you are an hour behind your neighbors. Today is the first day for Day Light Savings Time for 2016. By edict of the government we are to adjust what time it is accordingly. Your choice is simple, either adjust or be “out of step” for the next eight months.

Have you ever thought where that hour went that we are all “saving.” Of course, come the first Sunday in November we get it back, but by then we will have forgotten all about it and have to adjust again. At the first of Day Light Savings time we feel we are getting up early. And at the end, we have a hard time staying awake at night during the first few days.

When you adjust your clocks is b. wiley stephens your choice. Some do the night beColumnist fore and others wait until today.

There are no “clock” police, but if you don’t you will be apologizing for months about being late or missing appointments. And losing that hour of sleep can have an effect. Studies have shown that older adults have the greatest difficulties since they tend to go to sleep earlier and wake up more during the night.

Forty eight of the 50 states make this change of time, the exceptions being Arizona and Hawaii. It basically became nationwide when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act. The main argument for the change was to save energy. Studies show there is a slight savings. Other support of the move comes from the retail industry, sports and tourism. All think they benefit from it.

Well I have a suggestion: if in fact there are all these benefits, let’s just leave it in place all year long. We have seen it grow from six months to eight months, why not expand it again?

We might not save a lot of energy but any saved is that much less used. And we wouldn’t have to go through adjusting twice a year. No more “spring ahead or falling back.”

Now before we say we can’t do that, let’s remember that all those Georgians living west of Covington are already an hour ahead of “true” standard time. The Georgia Legislature moved the dividing line between Eastern and Central Time in the thirties. Their logic was to match the business hours of Atlanta with New York City. You know our states natural inclination to put business first. So instead of following the longitude to divide the zones, we simply shifted it to the state line.

The concept of Day Light Savings time is not worldwide. In fact it is observed mostly in North America and Europe. Parts of Brazil, parts of Australia and New Zealand also observe the practice.

But back to the question of where did that hour go: It is a mystery I really don’t have an answer for. I know that I tend to feel a little “sleepy” in church that first Sunday. Have you ever noticed how some people miss church that first Sunday of Day Light Savings Time? Some run late, but never run “early” when we fall back the first Sunday of November?

Who first came up with this idea of “Springing forward, and falling back” with our clocks? One of legends many hold is that it was Benjamin Franklin. And when he was our Ambassador to France, he did suggest that if the people of Paris got up earlier they could save on candles, but he did not suggest Day Light Savings Time. There were not standard time zones in Europe before the development of the rail and communication networks.

The idea was first put forward in 1895 by George Hudson of New Zealand. The first nations to adopt the idea were Germany and Austria in 1916 as an attempt to save on energy use during World War I. The first national use in our country was during World War II, and it was called, “War Time.” That meant the people in the western half of our state went through a two hour adjustment in less than a decade.

We have all heard the stories of people at first complaining about such things as the effect on their gardens of an additional hour of sun light. But for about half a century almost the entire nation has observed Day Light Saving Time.

But for many the change seems more trouble than it is worth. In California, there is a bill in the state assembly to reverse that state’s practice and do away with Day Light Savings Time. You never know, the idea might just catch own. Then the question might become, why did we ever bother?
