CPD data shows juvenile burglary problem BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com

Burglaries in the city of Covington are down from the same two-month period over the past three years, but the perpetrators of those crimes are of a disturbing age.

According to information released by the Covington Police Department, there were 24 people arrested for crimes associated with burglaries from Dec. 1, 2014 to Feb. 13, 2015, and 22 of those individuals were between the ages of 11 and 17.

From Dec. 1, 2014 to Feb. 13, 2015, 17 individuals under 18 were arrested for burglaries. There were zero arrests of 18-year-old or younger individuals from Dec. 1, 2013 through Feb. 22, 2014, and five arrests of individuals under 18 from Dec. 1 through Feb. 15.

While juvenile arrests were up in the last three years in the two month period between December and January, reported burglaries were down. From Dec. 2012 through Feb.

White out as Social Circle City Manager

Craig pays off state tax liens MERIS LUTZ

15, 2013, there were 39 reported burglaries, down to 27 from Dec. 1, 2013 through Feb. 14, 2014.

Among the 24 burglaries from Dec. 1, 2014 through the second week of February, 2015, eight, or 34 percent were residential burglaries with forced entry, and 5 or 21 percent were residential with non-forced entry.

For the same period in 2013 and 2014, 10 burglaries were residential with forced entry and nine were residential with non-forced entry. In the two month period of data released

by CPD from 2012 to 2013, 22 of the burglaries were residential with forced entry and seven were residential with non-forced entry.

Of the 2014-15 residential burglaries, a majority of the burglaries occurred in the southwest corridor of Covington.

The combined cost of each burglary reported during the period from Dec. 1, 2014 through Feb. 13, 2015 was $6,932.98 cents,

The city of Social Circle recently voted to dismiss its city manager, Doug White, after 13 years of service.

The vote was held during a special called meeting on Monday, Feb. 23, not long after White’s reappointment was tabled from January.

“The council made the decision that they wanted to move in another direction,” Social Circle Mayor Hal Dally said. “Doug

Craig has come under scruCRAIG tiny in recent weeks for owing millions to the internal revenue service while billing the county for over $1.1 million for the 2014 calendar year.

Concerned residents turn out for information meeting on mega-site SANDRA BRANDS news@covnews.com

Eastern Newton County is changing and is bound to grow.

That was the consensus of most of the over 100 people, including local elected officials, who gathered for a community meeting to learn more about the rumored development of a mega-site on the fringes of their neighborhoods.

The meeting, held at the local at Georgia Perimeter College campus, was organized by the Home Owner Associations (HOA) of four nearby subdivisions: Azalea Farms, Surrey Chase, River Cove and St. Andrews.

Organizers were quick to share that the meeting was for information only.

“Our main goal today is to give information” said David Heilesen, president of the Surrey Chase II HOA. “There’s a lot of information out there, some true, some not true.

“We’re not here to lobby for one side or another,” he said, explaining that the purpose of the meeting was to help residents make educated decisions on how to move forward.

Heilesen, who is also president and founder of Southern Educational Consulting and Training, worked with Georgia’s QuickStart program on training facilities at the KIA manufacturing plant in West Point. He said that the proposed mega-site in Eastern Newton County was considered one of the best

mega-sites in Georgia, one suited for a large manufacturing/industrial company.

It would also have a major impact both positive and negative, on the social, economic and environmental life of the county. In a slide show, Heilesen showed maps of the proposed 1,100-acre site, as well as a map of the Mt. Pleasant Plan, a proposal for a new town near the Georgia Perimeter College campus, and the County’s Brick Store Overlay proposal.

Another slide referenced the Thomas and Hutton Engineering Company web site, which reporter that Ralph Forbes vice president and Jason Chambless project manager, in the Savannah office, have been working to determine access needs, how to get utilities onto the site, and compiling environmental data.

“That to me means this is more than just talk,” Heilesen said.

While one resident called for a petition objecting to developing the mega-site, most expressed interest in having a voice in any future development near them. During a question-and-answer period, Levie Maddox, District 5 representative on the Newton County Board of Commissioners assured those present that there would be opportunities to express concerns at public hearings and meetings.

“Unfortunately, the world is finding us and we can’t stop it,” said Social Circle Mayor Hal W. Dally. “You can control what comes in or you can let it run over you. Let’s do it where we

The Covington Fire Department urges homeowners to change the batteries in their smoke alarms as they turn their clocks forward today.

Daylight Saving Time began at 2 a.m. today, but for officials with the Covington Fire Department that means it’s a good time to turn to safety.

“We at Covington Fire are committed to the safety of our community and would like to offer you the opportunity to have a home safety survey,” CFD Fire Education Specialist Jonathan Fuqua said. “This includes checking and changing the batteries in your smoke alarm or installing a smoke alarm if you need one.”

The CFD also offers to come to your home and install a new alarm according to manufacturer’s recommendations.

Also, Fuqua said the CFD offers free 9-volt batteries for smoke alarms. Simply stop by the Covington Fire Headquarters at 2101 Pace St. and get your free battery. For further information, contact the CFD at 678-712-9387.

The Newton County Sheriff ’s Office is requesting any information regarding the whereabouts of Ralph Michael Garland, who was reported missing by family members on March 3, 2015.

The last date of contact was on Friday, Feb. 27, 2015 at approximately 9 p.m. According to a release from the NCSO he was last seen in the area of the Stewart Community off of Hwy. 36 in Covington.

Garland is a 56-year-old white male, 5-feet, 8-inches tall, weighs about 166 pounds, has brown hair, brown eyes, and tribal tattoos on both arms. He does have a medical condition that may cause him to have a staggered walk and a hump in his back.

Due to G a r l a n d ’s health issues he does take medication although it Garland is not life sustaining.

The NCSO did not have a clothing option as of Friday, nor vehicle information as Garland is known to ride with others.

There are no circumstances which lead NCSO to believe there is foul play involved.

The Newton County Sheriff ’s Office is asking for any family, friends, acquaintances or anyone that may have seen or had contact with Mr. Garland after Friday, Feb. 27, 2015 at approximately 2100 hrs, please contact Sgt. Brent Langley at (678)625-1453.

can all have [a voice]. Let’s work together ...”

Major concerns shared by the residents gathered included the impact on traffic flow along 11 and near subdivision entrances, property values and tax rates, and the disruption of existing rural lifestyles. Many residents expressed support of reviving the county’s 2013-14 Brick Store Overlay ordinance, which would require commercial developers to adhere to aesthetically pleasing and well-landscaped guidelines and use high-quality materials in building.

The proposed site sits north of I-20 with County Route 11 forming the borders on the south and east, and spreads into the city limits of Social Circle. The 1,100 acres under consideration is currently held by three owners: Alcovy Plantation, LLC; BPV Real Estate, LLC; and a private family.

Currently, the acreage is zoned for agricultural use. That would have to change before any manufacturing or industrial site could be developed, Heilesen said.

“We haven’t been asked to change zoning,” said Keith Ellis chair of Newton County Board of Commissioners. “[The mega-site] is a long way from ever coming to be. “ Because the acreage lies in both unincorporated Newton County and within the city limits of Social Circle, the latter could annex it.

If that happened, Ellis said, the commissioners would not have authority over development.

Mayor answers questions

Darrell Everidge / The Covington News

Cousins Middle School students interviews Mayor Ronnie Johnston

Covington Mayor Ronnie Johnston visited Cousins Middle School Friday to answer questions from students. Questions ranging from “how much does a mayor earn a year?” to “what do you do about the haters?” were part of the inquiries made in the Q&A session, featuring roughly 100 students. Mayor Johnston said he enjoys the random questions because it’s a way to educate students about politics and the beautiful city of Covington. One middle school student asked the mayor if he thought Covington has lost the southern charm, to which the Johnston replied. “No, I think we are one of the few cities that works hard to preserve our rich history.”

Covington moves closer to utilities, bar changes SANDRA BRANDS news@covnews.com

Three ordinances, each written to amend provisions of the electric system and water system, were read for the first time at the Covington City Council meeting on March 2. The change could reduce city revenue by up to $700,000.

Covington City Manager Leigh Anne Knight said the changes would make city utilities more competitive with other utilities companies, adding a new tier to electric and water system rates for large commercial and industrial users.

The current rate structure charges customers using over 50,000 gallons per day $5.70. That rate would drop to $5.45 if the

ordinance passes. The electric rate structure would drop the current rate of 7.6 cents per kilowatt hour to 6.8 cents for large industries.

“The idea being,” said Mayor Ronnie Johnston, “to bring business into the communities and to keep existing industries is here.”

The third ordinance, which repeals conflicting ordinances and clarifies definitions of prohibited activities at eat-in restaurants and food services, was reviewed at the recommendation of Police Chief Stacey L. Cotton. The clarification primarily addressed the percentage of alcohol sales allowed as well as the percentage of the square feet of a dance floor.

Cotton said that there were no issues currently, it could be in the future. “Once we get

this in place, we can move forward, while making sure the city gets the taxes it needs.”

Following another reading of the three ordinances, the council can then vote for or against them.

A fourth ordinance, amending the code on delinquency on the payment of occupancy tax, was unanimously approved after its final reading.

Changes to the city’s human resources policies on military leave, drug and alcohol use and workers’ compensation were unanimously adopted. Changes adopted included clarification of issues around military live, including re-employment rights and retirement benefit options.

The city’s employee drug policy was amended to include a new section on coun-

seling options and consequences for violations of the policy, making them applicable to all employees.

An application to sell alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption was approved for Shell Food Mart-Washington Prime, LLC, on Washington St. City Manager Leigh Anne Knight announced that a citizen’s academy offered by the city police will begin March 5. The class size has been limited to 20 people and is already closed, she said.

The academy provides participants with a glimpse into the workings of the department, learn about available services resources and programs, and introduce residents to members of the police department.

REMEMBERING OUR UNSUNG HEROES It was beautiful weather Saturday for the annual “We Ride To Provide” K9 memorial.

The crowd of women, children and law-enforcement personnel stood in somber silence, remembering the lives of the fallen K9 heroes of 2014.

Holly Cripps, founder of “We Ride To Provide”, says this is one time of year they take thetime to pause and think of the K9 heroes who save lives every year across the world.

Although there were melancholy moments in the event, there were also laughter and fellowship. After the service those attending were treated to hotdogs, hamburgers and refreshments.

Benz, no longer with Craig firm, hired by Grady commission KAREN MURPHY news@covnews.com

CAIRO — At Tuesday night’s meeting of the Grady County Commission, the board hired Laura Wahoske Benz LLC as a consultant for Tired Creek Lake and point of contact with the Army Corps of Engineers. Previously, this work was done by Benz as an employee of the Law Office of Wm. Thomas Craig.

Craig is under fire for being paid with taxpayers money while owing millions to the IRS. Benz said of her duties with the county, it “doesn’t change anything except that I don’t work for Tommy Craig anymore,” said Benz after the meeting.

Benz had been employed

by Craig since August 2003 before resigning more than a week ago.

Grady County Commission Chair LaFaye Copeland was asked if the county’s hiring of Benz meant the county was no longer working with Craig. Her response was “She (Benz) is on her own.”

Until Tuesday, Craig’s law firm was the consultant with Grady County and the liaison between the coun-

ty and the Army Corps of Engineers instrumental in obtaining the 2010 permit for Tired Creek Lake. Craig is also the county attorney for Newton County.

An investigative reporter with 11Alive News in Newton, Catie Beck, reported that public records showed Craig owed IRS tax liens adding up to several million dollars despite a 2014 income of $1 million

from Newton County and $74,143.44 from Grady County, in addition to other consulting income.

In Grady County alone, Craig was paid $1,074,366.07 since 2006, according to Grady County Clerk Carrie Kines.

When asked if the controversy was part of her decision to leave, Benz only said, “It was just time to move on.”

In previous articles, I reviewed both the positives and negatives of using life insurance as an investment vehicle.

This time, I would like to discuss what life insurance does best as an MIKE LASSITER investment, and that is, COLUMNIST self-completion at any time while the contract is inforce.

I’m omitting Term insurance from this piece as it doesn’t provide permanent protection. The reason Term insurance is so inexpensive is you will probably outlive the years of coverage. It’s the best product to own, however, to protect against premature death.

When you buy Permanent Life insurance, the first consideration is how much do you pay every year to buy that dollar of lifetime protection? Simply divide the premium by the face amount and you have your cost.

As an example, a male, age 60, buys a $100,000 Permanent life policy with a $1,500 annual premium. This dollar costs 1.5 cents per year. If he lives to 85 (his life expectancy) this dollar over time costs 37.5 cents.

Joint Life or Second-to-Die life insurance means exactly what it says. It is priced at a deeper discount than individual coverage and can be a vital part of your financial plan.

Level Premium life insurance can be an excellent vehicle for many situations. Here are a few: – Income Tax Recovery Anyone who believes income taxes will be lower in the future, stand on your head. Income taxes are the largest piece of the revenue pie, so the government will go there first to increase revenues. If your retirement plan totals $500,000, all of it will be taxable as ordinary income. Life insurance can pay this bill at a big discount.

– “Pension Max” When you approach retirement, one of your payout options will be “Joint and Survivor” which will continue your payout should you predecease your spouse. The negative is your benefit can be reduced by several hundred dollars a month. The “Life Only” option provides the highest benefit but when your life ends, the payments end.

A life policy funded with the additional payout from the Life Only option will continue the higher

payout while living plus provide a tax-free benefit for your surviving spouse.

– Gift programs for children and grandchildren

Parents wishing to guarantee an estate for children and maybe their grandchildren can utilize life insurance as the funding vehicle. Again, these dollars can be provided at a significant discount.

It’s important to have a Trustee/Guardian named for minor children and possibly an age restriction to guard against giving funds to a youngster who might end up in a motorcycle gang!

– Charitable Bequest Very few of us do not donate to a favored charity whether it be school, church, civic, veterans, etc.

Being able to give a cash bequest at a significant discount over time plus receive a tax deduction for the premium can be very appealing.

Product design will be a key component in estimating your cost over time. No-Lapse Guarantee products usually perform quite well for these needs. If you have adequate cash flow, a Participating (dividend paying) policy may allow you to shorten your premium paying period. The other important points will be your insurability. If your doctor has given you nine months to live, you are no longer a standard risk!

Sarcasm aside, a Second-to-Die policy can be very helpful when one of the applicants has significant health history. The insurance carrier will be more concerned with underwriting the probable survivor.

Having a policy owned by a third party, whether an individual or a trust removes the asset from your estate. If coverage is applied for by a third party, that is effective from day one. If an existing policy is transferred to a new owner, the insured must live for three years to prevent the asset from being included in the insured’s estate.

Going back to my first paragraph you might be thinking, “This stuff isn’t an investment.” Wrong!

Protecting your family and loved ones by purchasing dollars for future delivery at a discount is the best investment you can make. Show me something else that promises the full benefit, income tax free, after just one payment. Life insurance should always be a part of your financial plan.

our thoughts Where’s the transparency?

The Association County Commissioners of Georgia is once again trying to get the state’s General Assembly to make it harder for Georgia’s residents to keep up with what is going on in the governments they support.

Senate Bill 186 was approved by the senate’s State and Local Government Oversight Committee on Wednesday and sent to the Rules Committee for consideration. It would allow local governments to post public notices mandated by law on internet sites established and controlled by the government rather than having them published in a newspaper designated as the county’s legal organ.

Those pushing approval of the legislation, most notably the state’s county commission association, want us to believe that they do so as a means of saving money. That is not the case. The dollars involved in the discussion are minuscule in relation to what governments annually spend. The intent and purpose is to take one more step to keep the public in the dark.

In fair disclosure, we must acknowledge that this newspaper in the legal organ for the county and benefits financially from the publication of such notices. The rate for public notices is established by state law, not by the newspaper, and is the same regardless of the size of a newspaper. The Newton County government’s general fund budget for the year 2014 is $47,723,897 million. In 2014, the expense for the publication of legal notices by the county was about $4,000.

This is not a big ticket item for local governments.

Information presented at Wednesday’s committee meeting indicated that the average for about half of Georgia’s counties is less than $1,000 a year.

The legislation now pending in the senate would allow government entities and constitutional officers the option of publishing legal notifications in the legal organ, or posting them online on government web sites. For many of those governments, the cost of personnel, web site maintenance, buying and updating software, and archiving systems will exceed their current cost of publication.

But again, it’s not about the money. It’s about control of, and access to, information.

If the legislation is approved and governments take advantage of the alternative, you will have to have internet access to see mandated public notices such as county budgets, calls to election, grand jury presentments, and bid requests for county projects. Though it may be hard for some to believe, there are still those in our community who do not have such access. The law would leave them in the dark.

If the legislation is approved, there will be total confusion over where and how the public can find such information. A county notice would be at one internet address, a city notice somewhere else.

School systems over here, airport authorities over there. And nongovernmental notices, such as foreclosures, would still be in the printed edition of the legal organ, at least for now.

If the legislation is approved, governments would be totally in charge of access to the information.

“Sorry, the county’s server was down that week,” may become a convenient excuse for failure to notify the public of a timely event. When was the last time a newspaper serving as the legal organ in any Georgia county was unavailable for review?

If the legislation is approved, governments will have to go to great lengths to be able to archive electronic data and maintain those archives over time in order to prove compliance with the state’s public notice laws.

Want to challenge the validity of a government bidding process from last year? Well, the government is the repository of all that information. And we all know that electronic data can be manipulated and changed, unlike a printed copy of a newspaper which provides a truly permanent record of what was published.

This effort isn’t new. Just about every session of the Legislature sees some measure discussed or introduced which would limit access to government placed public notices by removing them from legal organs. This idea is a solution in search of a problem, a means of fixing something that isn’t broken.

The state’s current laws on publishing of public notices provide the best possible means of keeping the largest number of people truly informed at the most reasonable costs. For those who prefer, internet access to such notices is already available on our own web site in addition all of Georgia’s legal organs post them online through a web site maintained by the Georgia Press Association, at no additional charge to anyone. But those same notices are also in print, where they can’t be changed, nor their existence challenged.

For elected officials, SB 186 is a win-win. It provides the opportunity for total government control of access to mandated public information, and it offers a chance to take money away from those meddlesome newspapers that are always looking for ways to embarrass those serving in public office.

The people of Georgia are smart enough to understand the self-serving intent behind such legislation and to see through the thin smokescreen in which it is being hidden. We hope our legislators have enough respect for their constituents to vote against this ill-conceived proposal if they get the opportunity to do so. We encourage you to let your state senators and representatives know that you are not in favor of putting the fox in charge of the hen house when it comes to the public’s access to government information.

Landfill flashback to 2050 plan Dear Editor, Remember the 2050 Plan?

It was developed out of sight of public input by a group of local officials with the help of a selected set of experts not from here and offered as the one and only option for our future.

The commissioners took a while to finally get what everybody else saw right away, that this backroom plan was unacceptable and unworkable.

Sadly, the Newton County BoC seems to have forgotten those lessons from just a few months ago. They now appear to be using the identical tactics of backroom planning that excluded public input to put forth one and only one option for addressing the county’s self-inflicted landfill mess.

The details of the landfill problem are way too complicated to address here, but briefly it involves a lawsuit the county lost to East Georgia Land & Development Co. ($20M), 424 acres of land adjacent to the current landfill owned by East Georgia, and mandated cleanup for violation of environmental regulations for groundwater contamination and methane gas emissions in the current landfill ($35M). Please see this article for an overview: http://www.covnews.com/section/1/article/57643/ The BoC is now trying to sell the public, based on the recommendations of their chosen experts, that the only option is for the county to buy the 424 acres from East Georgia to triple the size of the current landfill; designate the expanded site as a regional landfill that will take in up to 10 times current levels of waste tons per day (to come from other counties in Georgia); then turn over operation of the expanded regional landfill to a private company (Green Hill P3). Lots of trucks, lots of garbage.

The value of this expanded landfill may be approximated by multiplying the charge per ton ($32-$40), times the number of tons per day (1000 minimum up to 2000 possibly as Green Hill push for profits for their shareholders - there is no limit imposed in the current proposal), times days operated per year (300) times number of years (25) of the agreement with Green Hill. This gives a range of $240,000,000 to $600,000,000.

For this potential half-billion dollar asset, Green Hill will generously pay for the cost of the lawsuit, the purchase of the land, the environmental cleanup, funding a post closure assurance fund and a small percentage of revenue payback in various forms to the county - a total probably under $100M. A good deal for Green Hill - about 20 cents on the dollar - not so much for Newton County.

If we don’t rush to judgment and take reasonable time, better options can no doubt be negotiated.

I am sure the BoC want the best solution. And some of us want to help. Among several fundamental questions are: - Was this put out to bid to other companies? What other options are there that do not risk making Newton county best known for its huge garbage dump?

-What studies have been done on the impacts to at-

tracting high income earners, housing, tourism, quality of life, etc., in other counties with regional garbage dumps? Is this something to aspire to?

- How can such a complex situation and proposal possibly be justly vetted by the public in the space of one work session (held 3/3/15) and one planned public hearing scheduled 3/12/15?

- How is it that the BoC now wants to use the East Georgia 424 acres to create a regional landfill when the entire $20M lawsuit was undertaken over the course of 17 years to prevent that very thing?

- Has an independent environmental study been done to assess the impact of this proposed expansion and land use, especially considering the proximity to established communities, the Yellow River, groundwater and downstream impacts?

- What in this plan supports increasing recycling in the county from 2% to 60%?

- Why is the operation of the 11 county collection points not subject to open bid?

- Has an independent engineer reviewed this plan along with some other possible options?

- How will the true environmental, health and economic impacts on the surrounding Springhill community be addressed?

-What will be contributed to clean up the Yellow River and address groundwater contamination from past, current and any future leachate from the landfill?

- Since the county will still own the landfill, what are the liabilities for the county (read: tax on citizens) of this expanded operation and all the current obligations if Green Hill P3 fails and goes bankrupt?

We need an open, transparent process to address these and other questions and formulate the best solution. The public hearing is scheduled for 7:00pm, March 12, at the old courthouse on the square in Covington.

As Americans, you of course have the right to remain asleep and watch TV rather than pay attention or get involved in such matters that impact you and your community. However, you might want to wake up and pay attention to this. Just saying.

County under the gun over landfill deal from front page

MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

Newton County’s Board of Commissioners is under pressure to accept a settlement to privatize operation of the public landfill or face a lawsuit that could cost the county tens of millions.

Jim Baker, head of the East Georgia Land and Development Company, which recently won the right to apply for a permit to build a private landfill next to the county’s after more than 17 years of legal wrangling, made it clear he would not hold back if the county balks.

“This is about me not suing the county,” said Baker, who estimated potential damages at about $25 million. “You can’t take my property for seventeen and a half years and not pay me for it.”

“If this deal blows away, not only is the county going to get a lawsuit, but we’re going to go after the landfill,” he said.

The proposed deal would see the county lease the landfill to the newly-formed Green Hill P3 and use $8.5 million of those payments to buy East Georgia’s 424 acres, preventing the construction of a private landfill. Green Hill would also make payments directly to East Georgia, Baker said, to offset the company’s losses over the years. He would not disclose how much Green Hill would pay to his company.

The settlement was prepared by Macon attorney Bob Norman on behalf of both Newton County and East Georgia, with both parties splitting his legal fees. Engineer Bill Hodges has also been jointly retained, and would act as a consulting engineer for Green Hill if the settlement is approved.

The tripartite deal would make it impossible for the county to bid out operation of the landfill to other companies. Baker said Green Hill was backed by RLS Investments and Consulting--the same Jacksonville family group that invested in Advanced Disposal, the original company with which he had planned to work before the plan got caught up in court.

He characterized the proposed deal as a “win-win,” given the county’s poor financial operation of the landfill, which runs an increasing deficit of about $1 million a year.

Under the settlement, Green Hill would take financial responsibility for upgrading and maintaining the landfill, and also contribute to closure costs.

The direct financial relationship between Green Hill and East Georgia was not discussed at Tuesday’s work session. Baker said that if the county attempted to bring in another operator, that company would “be involved in a big old lawsuit.”

At stake in control of the landfill is hun-

dreds of millions of dollars. According to the most recent remaining capacity report on file with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, the landfill is currently taking in about 79,000 tons of waste annually. At this rate, the EPD estimates the landfill could operate for another 77 years (the report was completed in August). Green Hill plans to expand operations by bringing in waste from other Georgia counties, but even if the current disposal rates and tipping fees remained the same, the landfill would bring in at least $200,000,000 over its remaining lifetime.

Given the landfill’s lucrative potential, several people with knowledge of the county’s solid waste operations blamed at least some of its financial problems on 10 free recycling centers.

“The operation of those centers is a cost to the county that they don’t charge for,” said John Gardner of Smith Gardner, an engineering firm that has consulted for the county on the landfill. “What local commissioner wants to be responsible for raising everyone’s fees?”

“If the county really wants to know the value of [the landfill], they need an outside opinion,” he added.

That sentiment was echoed by Bob Krasko, a hydrogeologist who has also consulted for the county and helped design the corrective action plan that was approved by the EPD to address air and water contamination. A compliance evaluation sent to the EPD in August gave Newton County an “acceptable rating,” saying the implementation of the corrective action plan “reflected a good effort by county personnel to operate the site in compliance with the Rules.”

“Private landfills are very, very lucrative, so if the county’s not doing as well…there’s an issue there,” said Krasko.

Krasko also said it was a mistake to allow Green Hill’s engineer, Bill Hodges, to act as the only technical consultant.

“Who’s presenting the information? I, who have done the groundwork out there for the last eight years, you didn’t hear me speak--I wasn’t invited,” said Krasko.

Krasko said certain information that weighed against the deal had been omitted, such as the fact that the county could get several million dollars in reimbursements and matching funds from the state to upgrade the landfill.

He also said private methane gas extraction companies would pay to install the systems and split the profits with the county after recuperating costs. Moreover, he added, East Georgia would face an uphill battle permitting a new landfill.

Phil Johnson, a local Covington attorney who reviewed the proposed agreement between Green Hill and the county, said he

would like to see the purchase of East Georgia’s land uncoupled from the operation of the existing landfill.

“Whether or not East Georgia can generate a good case for damages, I don’t think that’s at all clear,” said Johnson, admitting, however that it was a “risk,” given how much the county has already spent on the case. “The county has won some of the cases…until [the state Supreme Court’s final ruling], there was no demonstrated certainty they had the right to the zoning.”

‘We don’t have enough information yet,” concluded Johnson. “Let’s slow this process down a little and get all the facts on the table.”

A public meeting is scheduled for Thursday to discuss the landfill, clearing the way for a vote.

County Chair Keith Ellis could not be reached for comment. Commissioners J.C. Henderson, Lanier Sims, John Douglas and Levie Maddox could not immediately be reached for comment. Commissioner Nancy Schulz said she supported an independent review of the proposal and would not vote on Thursday.

RESIDENTS VOICE CONCERNS OVER LANDFILL Several dozen concerned residents of the Spring Hill community gathered at the Good Hope Baptist Church Saturday to voice their concerns about current landfill contamination and a proposed lease agreement with a private waste company.

The landfill has been identified as having groundwater and air contamination issues that are being addressed through an approved corrective action plan. However, longtime residents recalled the county’s initial promises when the landfill was built in 1981.

“They assured us they were going to do it properly,” said Brenda Mullins. “Over 20 years later, we’re still in the same spot.”

“We’re talking about annihilating our community,” she said in reference to a plan that would see a private company take over the landfill and transform it into a statewide landfill.

Another resident expressed anger at what changes to the landfill would do to the value of nearby properties, especially in a historically black neighborhood.

“We don’t want no playground neither!”

Someone shouted to laughter and applause, referring to plans to create a fund for community projects using payments from the company.

Commissioner Nancy Schulz, who attended the event, assured the gathering that the board was taking the time to review the terms of the settlement.

She also said voting after Thursday’s scheduled meeting was “premature,” and she would not vote then.

Organizers reviewed facts about the landfill, read aloud a letter sent to state representatives, and made plans for further community action, including possible legal action.

“We need all the support we can muster at this meeting,” said Charles Johnson.

according to CPD reports. Among the items stolen were an iPad, two bicycles, electronics, candy, two pit-bull dogs and three firearms that were later recovered.

According to CPD information the burglaries occurred on Brown Bridge Road, Jefferson Avenue, Lakeview Drive, Lakeview Place, Laurel Drive, School Street, Spillers Drive, Thrash Street and Washington Street.

An analysis on the frequency of burglaries conducted by CPD revealed that between Dec. 1, 2014 and Feb. 13, 2015 burglaries were most frequent on Friday, and were reported to have occurred between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. the following day.

Dally attributes a lot of the growth in Social Circle to White’s leadership, including the bypass being put in and Dart, Solo and General Mills locating to the area.

“The city has progressed tremendously,” Dally said. “We continued to grow, even when other cities weren’t. He was the right shepherd at the right time.”

White will remain as interim city manager until March 31.

Dally is currently searching for an interim manager to serve while a search for a full time city manager takes place.

He said he hopes to have a called meeting in March to present information on an interim manager to the council.

“We are in the process of developing exactly what kind of person the council wants in place,” Dally said.

hen you walk through the doors of Eastside’s fieldhouse and look to the left you’ll see the Eagles’ wall of fame peppered with names and photos of football players like Justin Wray, Broderick Alexander, Anderico Bailey, Antarious Terrell, James Johnson, Kevin Agudo, Sheldon Rankins, Taylor Head and more.

Wall of fame All of the players on that wall have made a major impact on the team during their respective stints at Eastside. Many of them have come back to Eastside to visit, watch games, talk to current players and participate in drills.

“That’s been a huge factor for us because it lets our kids see these guys are going on to play and then come back,” Rick Hurst, Eastside head football coach, said. “Not just make them better players, but make them better human beings. Make them better fathers, make them better husbands, make them better employees, and I think once you can do that your job as a coach is done.”

“It’s not just so much going on and playing college football. I think the things that you learn here or in any sports program, I think the things that you’ve learned you can apply them to whatever you do,” Hurst said. “Whether it’s college, whether it’s the professional world or whether it’s military. You tend to draw off the things that you learn from high school sports.”

Hurst says that former players keep up with EHS football. He added that he gets messages on his phone and social media sometimes after games congratulating him on a win. Hurst joked that sometimes he doesn’t know who it is sending him the message because players still have his number from when they played, but he doesn’t have their number.

Bailey and co.

For Hurst, the most important thing is that the kids get an education, but it adds gratification when players come back to speak.

“Now they know you can be an Eastside

Eagle, go do other things and still always be an Eagle,” Bailey said about what it means he speaks to current players. “Like I tell them, I wore blue in college. Blue wasn’t my favorite color. It’s my college color, but at the same time I still wore my green. Even when I went off and played professionally in Florida I wore my green because it’s something that you’ll always remember.”

Many Eagles have graduated from college and went on to have careers, some have even began those careers back in Covington. Bailey, for example, is probably playing it the closest to the chest as he now coaches alongside his former head coach.

“I’m basically coaching with a staff that I played for and to give back to my own team, what’s a bigger honor than that? I grew up with half these guys that are on the team so I wanted to give back. That’s all it’s about,” Bailey said.

If you go to Eagle football or basketball games you might even see some of the players that played with Bailey like Terrell, Alexander and Wray.

“We’re a close group. All of us – me, Broderick, Jay-Ray, Antarius – our biggest thing has always been we were Eagles before we even left middle school,” Bailey said. “So when we come back it’s like the biggest thing ever. We call each other like, ‘Eastside got a game in basketball or football. We gotta go.’”

“We’re a group of guys, we don’t do anything on the weekend. So our weekend is coming to Eastside having fun.

Most people say, ‘Why you keep coming back?’ We can’t leave. It’s like our blood.

We talk about our kids are gonna be Eagles. It’s a great feeling,” Bailey added.

“Other people don’t understand but the

thing is, it’s a tradition. Eastside is gonna be a tradition forever. So once you’re an Eagle and you have that great Eagle experience, you’re gonna come back all the time.”

Stevie B’s Bailey recalls that when he played for Eastside, he and his friends would go to Stevie B’s on Thursdays and eat for free.

“I tell these kids now – and they don’t understand because they didn’t know, but we used to go to Stevie B’s and eat for free every Thursday. The same group that comes to the games now is the same group that used to go to Stevie B’s and eat for free and eat all the pizza up,” Bailey said, laughing. “They hated us when we came back because we clean house.”

Bailey says that to this day he can go to Stevie B’s and people still remember when he and his friends would come and eat all the buffalo chicken pizza.

“It’s something that you can’t explain because it’s such a great feeling. It’s a great feeling. That’s basically the only way I can sum it up,” Bailey said about what it means to be an Eagle. “The pas-

sion and the community, the way they embraced us. We came to a program that wasn’t that great. Coach Hurst, it was his first year, it was our first year and we just turned it around. Now it’s such a big establishment. Eastside has history.

It has meaning. Everybody wants to be an Eagle, although we have Rams and Tigers around here, but to be an Eagle is still the biggest feeling in Covington to me.”

Talking to freshmen Bailey and his crew aren’t the only players who come back and visit. Others do too, and they usually always talk to the current players. When players come back as much as the Eastside alumni do, it projects a special relationship with the staff and the community. One that begins when they’re students.

“I think it’s just knowing expectations.

There’s some that’s left and they don’t get back,” Hurst said jokingly. “I think it’s just the personality of the kid. I don’t

Hard work pays off Holmes heads to Reinhardt shakeem holloway

R

sholloway@covnews.com

egion 4-AAAA coaches let out a cohesive sigh of relief on Monday when Eastside senior defensive end Arthur Holmes announced he would be signing to play football at Reinhardt University in the fall.

“It feels pretty good.

All my hard work went to success and I’m happy about that,” Holmes said.

“I’m very proud,” Telly Shaw. Holmes’ father, said. “It’s a day that I’ve been waiting on. He’s a very hard worker and he’s also very humble and respectful. I’m just real proud.”

Holmes, a Region 4-AAAA Player of the Year award winner, finished this past season in the top-five in sacks in 4-AAAA a tremendous accomplishment for a player who missed the Eagles first game.

“That’s a pretty high accolade (Region 4-AAAA Player of the Year) when people that didn’t even play against him saw him on film and felt he’s worthy enough of having that honor. That kind of tells you what kind of player he is,” Rick Hurst, Eagles’ head coach, said.

“We got him back game two last year and it was

like, wow. Our defense improved in one week,” Hurst added.

“He’s a difference maker and he’s not reached his full potential. He’s gonna get up there and really excel.

Academically he’s good and athletically he’s good.

He’s smart and that’s the thing that gives him the ability that they can use him in a lot of different ways.”

Hurst says that Holmes might have gotten looks from even bigger schools if the Eagles didn’t have to play him on the defensive line. Because of that, schools didn’t get to see how athletic Holmes is, but what Reinhardt saw and everybody else who watched Holmes play is his extreme work ethic.

“He’s got a motor,” Hurst said fondly. “He always has. He’s always highly motivated. He’s always been a kid that works extremely hard in the weight room and he’s battled through injuries.”

Holmes says that Reinhardt liked his athleticism and physicality.

He said this new coaches haven’t said where they want to use him, but Holmes says he’d prefer to be a dropback defensive end or outside linebacker.

“That’s why a lot of people liked him because

“

he is that hybrid guy,” Hurst said. “He can put his hand on the ground and get you on a speed rush or a bull rush. I think he can back off in space and play off the line of scrimmage and is athletic enough to play out there in space. We did a little bit with him, but when we stood him up we were moving him around and bringing him kind of like a defensive end that was moving just to create different problems for people.”

“If he does what he’s supposed to do he’ll come out of there with a degree

—Rick Hurst

and that’s really all it’s about, but he’ll also get to play football at a high level. That’s all we can ask for,” Hurst said proudly.

Shaw says that he knew

Holmes had potential the first day that he started playing recreation football. He added that Arthur had the right attitude toward football and

that he has great leadership skills on and off the field. Holmes will be at Reinhardt in the fall, and he’s come a long way from rec-league.

staff reports news@covnews.com

The Eastside Lady Eagles defeated Mt Zion 10-0 in a time shortened match Wednesday night at Sharp Stadium. Junior Morgan Green scored 2 goals in the first 8 minutes of the game and went on to assist on 3 more.

Allie Dumaine and Sydni Greer each scored twice. Alisa Still, Savannah Hughes, Alli Coberth and Madison Morvik also scored for the Lady Eagles. Camille Johnson added an assist.

The match was never in doubt as Eastside controlled the flow of the game from the start and never slowed down, lead-

ing 8-0 at the half. Mt Zion rarely pushed the ball past mid-field and did not record a single shot on goal.

The Region 4-AAAA win, their first of the year, improves the Lady Eagles overall season record to 3-2.

It was the 46th career win for their head coach, Joel Singleton, which moves him past Eastside Principal and former Eastside boys head coach Jeff Cher's previous school record of 45 career wins.

Singleton, in his 6th year at the helm, is the only girls coach to lead the Lady Eagles to 3 straight state playoff appearances (20102012). His 2012 team was region runner-up and made it to the Sweet Sixteen, win-

ning their first round match in the state playoffs.

Singleton's first three teams won 35 games between 2010 and 2012, the most wins of any threeyear coach, boys or girls, in Eastside's 19 year program history, setting numerous Lady Eagle program records in the process including: best regular season record (12-2-2 in 2011), best region record (7-1 in 2012), best overall record (12-3-2 in 2011), most goals scored in a season (83 in 2010 & 2011), and most defensive shutouts in a season (10 in 2012).

Six girls were members of all three 2010-2012 teams: Kari Dylong, Carly Farrow, Sarah Gaddis, Tara Harrison, Savannah Hill and Amber Lafond.

Rained OUT (and everything else) How the recent winter weather impacts spring sports shakeem holloway sholloway@covnews.com

Georgia weather isn’t really known for its consistency or its beauty, at least not in the winter. Spring sports are in full swing, but the spring weather hasn’t arrived just yet. Still, track, soccer and baseball athletes are playing as well as they can and as much as they can in the weather they’re facing.

The month of February and the early days of March have been marked by rain, sleet and snow (maybe just a little) forcing the spring sports inside for practices and resulting in a number of postponed/cancelled games.

“It’s unreal. I’ve never seen anything like this,” Jason Borcherding, Heritage head baseball coach, said of his five years on the job.

After Heritage soccer played Eastside on a blisteringly cold night, Patriots head coach Brandon Stewart said, “It’s extremely hard to kick a ball when your feet are frozen.”

In baseball, Borcherding and his players have had to hold practices inside their fieldhouse, just to keep players ready for games.

“We’re able to get quality practices out of what we’re doing.

The kids don’t like it, but from a work standpoint we’re still able to get our work in,” Borcherding said. “My pitchers get their work in. We throw 10 sessions against live hitters to make sure that they stay on their pitching rotation. It’s good for our hitters because they have the opportunity to see live pitching on a regular basis, and it’s good for our pitchers because they get to see live hitters and throw against live hitters.”

Jonathan Brewer, Rockdale County head baseball coach, shares Borcherding’s sentiment. The Bulldogs have had to postpone nine games total, five for JV and four for varsity.

“What that effectively does is it makes us push back dates.

It makes us play four games in a week. It kills our pitching on top of that,” Brewer said. ‘We’re having to play four nights in a row. That’s not good on anyone’s pitching. No one in high school has enough pitching to play four games in a row.”

“For example, it rained out here two days ago. Well we hadn’t been able to touch the field in two days to get any field practice. To be more specific, we’ve actually only been on the baseball field two times since Winter Break,” Brewer added.

“So in the last three weeks, we’ve been on the field two times for baseball practice. What we do on the other days, which is about 95 percent of the time so far this year, is we just stand out on the pavement and swing and hit plastic balls – soft toss and tee work.”

The Bulldogs have a young team this season, and the lack of practice has affected their play. Brewer says in six games they’ve made 33 errors. When you have a young team, those

treat any of them any different. We’ve always been very fair. We’ve always been consistent in how we treat ‘em. I think a lot of them get that relationship at a very young age. Some of them don’t get until they’ve already gone. So the whole time that they’re here it’s kind of a love/hate relationship, but I think once you’ve grown and you‘ve graduated when you get older you start pulling on things you’ve heard here at school and on that field...Things that you’ll never forget.”

“We always, always stress being accountable. If you’re not here, I need to know.

I need to know why. One’s being courtesy. Two is it’s being accountable because you’re going to have to answer to somebody for the rest of your life. You might as well get used to it,” Hurst said. “You may not like it, but there’s always going to be somebody that you’re gonna have to answer to.

I think they draw on that because once you see ‘em start going to be successful off the field, you know that they’re pulling from things that they learned on the field.”

Andrico turned that accountability into a career after he graduated from Presbyterian College. He credits his coaches for his growth and maturation.

“I still call coach

[Frankey] Iverson my pops. That’s my father figure. My father was there for me, but he was that father while I was here at Eastside. Because your parents aren’t here so you can act up. A lot of these kids act up. You might think, ‘Ahhh man he’s not a good child.’ But they really are, and that’s my whole thing,” Bailey said.

“I grew up with all these kids so I don’t have to listen to, ‘Well he doesn’t know his father.’ I know he knows his father so I get on to them. I let the teacher go and do their thing, but then I’ll go off and bring them separately. I’m like look man, you can talk to me regularly.

You know I know you, I know your family. It’s that

players need as many reps as they can get to get better, and the weather hasn’t allowed anyone that opportunity.

“I’m sure that they get tired of being inside and being in the cage and doing the same thing,” Borcherding said.

“Unfortunately, we’re just not able to get on the field with the amount of water that we’ve been getting. And it doesn’t look like it’s going to break.”

Borcherding, who grew up in Cincinnati, is used to this kind of weather. He says when he was young they used to practice in the hallway.

“You miss the game action, the ability to be able to be in situations on the field right now because of the inability to be able to get on the dirt,” Borcherding said. “We don’t miss much from a pitching and hitting aspect like I said because of how we structure our practices and the way that we do things.”

“What it does put you behind in is game situations,” Borcherding added. “Defending first and third situations, defending bunt defenses. We still do a lot of that same stuff in the gym as well, but you can’t replicate game type tempo in the gym.”

The lack of practices and game action looks like it may seep into region play, which is likely a concern for coaches.

“It’s hard to play Saturday and then come back and play next Friday and then somewhere in between that we got four days where we can’t even practice because it’s too cold

or snow or rain or school’s out or whatever,” Bruce Evans, Eastside head baseball coach, said.

Region play is on the horizon and the non-region games, which don’t matter much anyway, have even less significance for coaches now that so many games have been cancelled.

“The kids have worked hard and they’ve earned [the chance] to play 26 games in a season,” Brewer said. “You also have to understand that the real season starts when region play starts, and you can’t put your kids in a bad spot by playing four games a week on top of the three for region play each week.”

In a recent game, Borcherding says he played all of his guys and pitched a different guy every inning just to get them some experience. He says he treated the game like a scrimmage.

“At this point right now I’m not concerned about non-region games,” Borcherding said. “I’m concerned about getting my guys innings and opportunities to be able to play and getting ready for region play.”

None of the coaches want to waste their pitching on non-region games or wear out their pitchers arms. Brewer believes that he likely won’t makeup the non-region games, but if he does he could possibly play them on Saturdays to get his guys some good experience.

The weather next week? The forecast says it’s supposed to rain for at least four days straight.

personal relationship that you have with them and they understand. As an athlete it’s a big understanding because to juggle from an athlete and a student-athlete, that’s a lot to deal with. Like I tell ‘em, ‘If you can’t get it here then college is only going to get worse.’ They understand. They buy into it.”

“Eastside has affected me a lot,” Bailey added.

“I tell these guys, they think that, ‘Coach Bailey you’ve always been a good guy.’ I haven’t. I made my mistakes in middle school and I definitely made a whole bunch in my freshman year.”

Now, Bailey looks to impact those freshmen the way he was impacted by his coaches.

“But now, I’m more of one of the figures that everybody understands and I love it. That’s the reason why I’m coming back and

“When I first got here I was a young guy, nobody understood me. Had dreads, nobody understood me,” Bailey said.

I’m gonna keep coming back because it’s the best job that you can have, to give back to your community that you played for.”

An Open Letter to the Citizens of Newton County The Newton County Landfill is a financial liability: county records show it burdened taxpayers with some $7.5 million in expenses over the last five years alone. A dispute with landowners over their adjacent 424-acre parcel threatens to cost taxpayers millions of dollars more.

County leaders, looking to cut unnecessary costs and bring more efficiency to local government, developed an innovative solution – a public-private partnership with us called Green Hill P3.

We’d like to introduce ourselves and tell you more about why this solution is good for everyone involved.

Green Hill P3 is a partnership between Newton County and a landfill operations team led by a division of Regency Group, a family-run company with a proven track record in environmental services. We have more-than-sufficient financial backing to meet all obligations to Newton County. More important, we are veterans in the solid waste management business and have identified a landfill manager with exceptional experience in operating public-private landfills.

What’s perhaps most important about the Green Hill P3 partnership are the financial benefits to the county and taxpayers. Both will save considerable costs with this transition. Consider:

• We’ve negotiated a fee for the life of the landfill to be earmarked for community projects that benefit residents of Newton County. The first $250,000 collected is designated for exclusive use by neighborhoods surrounding the landfill.

• Green Hill P3 will pay Newton County a host fee for every ton of waste disposed at the facility. This steady source of revenue will now allow the county to profit from an asset that has become a burden to taxpayers.

• By resolving a long standing lawsuit with East Georgia Land and Development on behalf of the county, Green Hill P3 will purchase the 424-acre tract of adjoining property to the landfill at no cost to the county or its residents. This purchase prevents a second, fully private landfill from ever opening in the county.

Ultimately, Green Hill P3 provides the unique opportunity for Newton County to make the landfill into a cash-flow positive asset – quite a change for what is currently a $1 million-plus annual liability. In addition, we’ll be able to bring the landfill into full regulatory compliance – again at no cost to county residents – ensuring full protection of human health and the environment, including the Yellow River.

There may always be a landfill in Newton County, but it no longer has to be a money-loser. Green Hill P3 will make the landfill work for Newton County, its citizens and taxpayers. Please learn more about this opportunity at www.green-hillP3.com.

Sincerely,

W.L. “Tee” Stribling Green Hill P3

Explaining bar and bat mitzvah STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

For many Christians in the western hemisphere, including Roman Catholics, the Sacrament of Confirmation is a celebration of their coming of age. In many Protestant churches, the rite of Confirmation is seen as a mature statement of a person’s faith. This is why many western Christians are confirmed between the ages of 12 and 15, when they are on the cusp of adulthood and capable of fully realizing the importance of professing their faith.

But such a rite of passage is not exclusive to Christians.

Within the Jewish faith, the bar and bat mitzvah symbolize a child’s coming of age. Jewish males become a bar mitzvah, or “son of the commandment,” at age 13, at which time they are accountable for their actions in the eyes of those who also subscribe to their faith. Girls become bat mitzvah (“daughter of the commandment”) a year earlier at the age of 12,

and they, too, are held accountable for their actions after receiving bat mitzvah.

When a child receives bar or bat mitzvah, he or she is not only recognized as responsible for his or her actions but is also now obligated to observe the commandments.

Though youngsters can observe the commandments prior to receiving bar or bat mitzvah, they are not obligated to do so. The ceremony of bar and bat mitzvah formally marks the assumption of this obligation.

Upon receiving their bar and bat mitzvahs, young people can now take part in religious services, including reading from the Torah at religious services. The bar and bat mitzvah marks the first time a young Jew reads from the Torah during services.

Though those who do not practice Judaism may think that the bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies depicted in countless television shows and movies are obligated, such ceremonies are in fact entirely optional and not mentioned in the Talmud, a

central text of Judaism that contains teachings on Jewish history and an interpretation of the Torah. Today’s elaborate bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies are a relatively recent phenomenon that were essentially unheard of until the 20th century.

But bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies have not only become more elaborate, but also many have even begun to ask more of bar and bat mitzvah celebrants. In the past, such celebrants would typically only recite a blessing at the service. But it’s not uncommon for today’s celebrants to lead their congregations in important prayers.

Another similarity between coming-of-age ceremonies within western Christian communities and Judaism is the celebratory atmosphere of such momentous occasions. Many Christian families host parties at home or celebrate at local restaurants in the hours after their relative is confirmed, and such a celebration often follows bar and bat mitzvahs as well.

just a thought

Express yourself

“So now you are no longer strangers and aliens. Rather, you are fellow citizens with God’s people, and you belong to God’s household. “ —Ephesians 2:19 (Common English Bible)

During my trip to Bethlehem, I had the pleasure of visiting the St. Nicolas Church, an Arab Christian congregation that sits on a side street just up the hill from the Angel Hotel. Behind the church in a small courtyard lie tombs of past leaders of the church. The graves are surrounded with flowers and marked with names and a picture, reminding all who visit this small churchyard of the faithfulness of these beloved leaders.

In their tradition, pastors stay at one place for years and years. At another church, the pastor’s family has been there for 120 generations.

Although we are strangers, both churches greet us in the name of the Risen Christ, and instantly, we feel like part of their family because of their warm hospitality.

Across the small street from St. Nicolas, a coed scout troup of various ages meets after school to play and learn together. Surprisingly, two members of a 34 member bagpipe band serenade us in an impromptu mini concert. While most people speak enough English to communicate effectively, we quickly discover an even more universal language that draws us together... the language of love.

After a few minutes of sharing our love for Christ, for children and for music, we leave, our hearts bursting with gratitude and joy for sharing moments of God’s grace with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Thank you, God, that in your love, we are no longer strangers to you or to each other. God bless our brothers and sisters all over the world. Through Christ whose love unites us. Amen.

Have you ever had a need, but couldn’t express it?

We all know what that feels like. The desperate struggle to try and figure it out for ourselves, and our helplessness in explaining it to others. I believe there was great distress in the possessed man Jesus met: “Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute…” Lk. 11:14.

Here was a man trapped in a voiceless body unable to explain his need to anyone! What a miserable existence this must have been. I cannot even imagine the internal turmoil he must have suffered day in and day out, unable to communicate.

But then he met Jesus, who knew what he had need of even though he couldn’t express it or explain it. Jesus, who was able to understand his need even perhaps when he himself didn’t. Jesus, who was able to bring healing to one who must have been so hurting for someone to understand and reach out to him.

Maybe you can’t put your finger on it… maybe you can’t find the right words to express or explain it, but deep down inside you know you have a need that is still unmet. Draw near to Jesus; he can see the need; He knows what needs to be done to meet the need. You don’t need your words, you need a Word from Him. Confess to Him today, “Jesus, my deepest need today is need of You. Please come and meet my need. And when He does — don’t forget Him, live for Him, praise Him and direct others to Him. That’s what people who have had their needs met by Jesus do: “…When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.” Luke 11:14b Dr. William Burnham is pastor of Point of Grace Church in Covington.

SOVIETS, SNOW & CYANIDE

N

ewton County, Georgia, September 29, 1935: Harry L. Long is born into the community known as Rocky Plains. By the time Pearl Harbor became a household topic, Harry’s family had moved to Porterdale where his father found work at Bibb Manufacturing. He recalled the Day of Infamy: “I was six years old at the time but I still remember the adults gathered around that old vacuum tube radio listening to the news about the Japanese attack. I sensed the fear and concern. Most of my older cousins and uncles served. One uncle had four navy ships shot out from under him. My future wife lost an uncle; his body is still overseas.”

Harry remembered life on the home front. “I split and stacked wood, slopped the hogs, and rounded up tin cans for the war effort.

One day I bought some firecrackers, drilled a hole in a piece of fire wood, packed the hole with firecrackers then plugged the hole. Well, sir, two days later our neighbors wood stove blew up and the butter bean pot went clean into the attic. The patched hole PETE MECCA can still been seen in the house. Yep, COLUMNIST I took care of the fire wood and my dad took care of my rear end.”

A 1953 graduate of Newton County High School, Harry missed the war in Korea by less than a year. “I found employment at Sears but realized I’d be drafted sooner or later. Mr. Ginn, proprietor of the Ginn Motor Company, was our selective service administration. I joined the Army with a buddy. We took several tests and a recruiter told us our scores were very high so suggested we go into the ASA. When we asked what the ASA was, we were told it was only for the best, so we both agreed to go.”

NOTE: The ASA, Army Security Agency, fell under operational control of the National Security Agency until 1977 at which time the ASA merged with Army Military Intelligence.

Sent for basic training at Fort Jackson, SC, Harry said of Army life, “Well, being Depression babies it didn’t bother us at all.” More examinations and tests. Next stop: Fort Devens, MA. Harry recalled, “Tests and more tests before we were told our field would be cryptography. We had no idea what that was.”

Camp Gordon in Augusta: “We trained on rotor machines and code books. We learned to code and decode. All behind barbed wire, I may add.”

His buddy was shipped to Manila; Harry drew assignment in the Alaskan Territory. “Alaska at the time was not a state,” Harry said. “It was like a foreign country, our status was foreign duty. I flew most of the way then boarded a WWII attack vessel, USNS James O’Hara, in Washington State for the voyage to Anchorage. We slept in the cargo hold, rough seas and sick soldiers.”

Assigned to Fort Richardson near Anchorage, Harry recalled, “We slept in Quonset huts out in the boonies until they built permanent barracks. I worked in the Communications Room at ASA headquarters until a few of us were finally assigned to ‘out’ stations also called ‘field’ stations. It was cold, real cold.” ‘Cold’ meant minus 65 degrees with 65 mile per hour winds.

“We would take trucks as far as possible then switch over to Weasels or Otters (tracked vehicles). We transported everything, including all our equipment and as much alcohol as possible to prevent freeze up. You see, once we cranked up a generator it had to keep running. Antifreeze would freeze; but alcohol would not. We’d set up as close to Russia as possible; monitor their air waves, then move on if they spotted us.”

On the native population of Aleuts and Eskimos: “Most of those people didn’t live to see forty; they died young.

They never bathed, consumed raw meat, and would wrestle with you for garbage. They carried their dead in a box to the top of a mountain and just leave it there. If we had a thaw, the boxes would slide down into our camp. Not very pleasant.”

‘Field’ stations had no medical facilities and the soldiers lived on canned rations and powdered foods. “Most of us got frostbit,” Harry said. “We were told if our larynx or lungs got frostbit just hang our heads over our bunks so we wouldn’t hemorrhage. You never went outside alone. You

had to protect one eye and one ear, so if you lost one due to the cold at least you still had the other. My left ear froze, my hearing is gone. Still have problems with my left eye.

Most of us suffered the same fate but here’s the kicker; the VA would not accept most of our claims because, well, we ‘weren’t there’. Security was so tight there is not one piece of document on our orders saying we served with the ASA in Alaska.”

His duties: “We’d put up dish antennas then point them at Russia. We could pick up anything they said.

The info would come in and we would disseminate the intelligence. We had language experts for translation.” Rank was non-existent. “I was up there for 30 months and never made PFC. You made PFC when you left so if needed they could call you back into service. President Eisenhower finally changed all that; after fifteen months you made PFC.” On receiving the Covington News: “Near the Arctic Circle it would take up to six months for me to receive the paper. I told my parents about a year in advance not to send anymore papers.”

Intelligence can have serious shortcomings. “My company commander, James Morris, had a law degree from Emory University. He took a liking to me and appointed me company armorer. We had carbines, grease guns, and a few machine guns. When I asked him what my duties were as company armorer, he said, ‘Destroy the equipment with special hand grenades if we were overrun by the Russians, fight until the last bullet is expended, then be sure everyone takes their cyanide pill.’ I asked what happens if they don’t take the pill and he replied, ‘You shoot them. Can you do that?’ I told him I was from Porterdale, so I didn’t really care.”

Cameras were a no-no. “No photos, that’s for sure. We had to learn to snow ski; we had special shoes for skis and snow shoes, but could wear just about anything, especially to stay warm. Our supply line was bush pilots, WWII boys, they didn’t come then we didn’t eat.”

Harry didn’t drink or smoke. “I swapped booze and cigarettes with the Eskimos for silver dollars. Shoot, I saved a chunk. My wife came up for my last year in Alaska and stayed in Fort Richardson. When it was time to go, I bought an old 1950 Buick and we headed for Fort Lewis, WA to get my discharge. Shoot, all the other guys were spic and span at Fort Lewis and I looked like I’d been out prospecting. Anyway, we drove all the way home, down the coast and across the southwest with moose horns on the front of that Buick.

Still have those horns.”

Harry Long returned to Sears, earned a BA Degree from Georgia State, took the Federal Service exam and, lo and behold, became an agent for the I.R.S. “Not the best of ways to make permanent friends,” he stated with a smile. “But the I.R.S. was different back then. Things were clear cut, good guys and bad guys. Now I’m not so sure who’s bad and who’s good. The world has changed, and in my opinion, not for the better.”

After retiring from the I.R.S., Harry has spent the last 20-

plus years serving with the Pine Valley Mission. “We work with underprivileged children, be sure they have clothes and shoes, a warm place to sleep. We buy school supplies for about 100 kids.” The biggest destroyer of American families? “Drugs,” Harry stated. “It’s rampant. Like I said, the bad guys seem to be winning.”

Barbed Wire Wrapped in Seersucker

Simulating summer C ovington is cold and miserable today, and the fog is so thick you’d swear you were on DAVID MCCOY that winding COLUMNIST Smoky Mountain road connecting Cherokee to Gatlinburg.

And we’re all complaining about the weather, telling everyone how much we hate winter! Well, there’s only one remedy for this situation, and that’s to simulate summer and act like we’re in a heat wave. If we do that, I think it’ll bring some perspective to our current complaints.

Begin simulation: Dang, it’s hot!

Have ya’ll been outside today? I went out for a few minutes and just about burned my head off; that sun was so scorching bright! I guess it was my own fault for going outside and braving the gnats and the pollen, but I wanted to see how brown the grass was since we can’t water our lawns without risking a jail term.

Who knew we’d see water restrictions again? I guess they don’t have a choice, what with the temperature being over 100 for three weeks in a row with no rain in sight. I certainly shouldn’t have gone outside without a hat, but I’m a bit delirious since the AC broke, and the paint on the wall looks like it’s starting to melt

off. I called my repairman buddy to fix the AC, but he just laughed and said, “Take a number, Dave!” That comment made my blood boil, but I guess every little thing’s getting to me right now. Those stupid red bugs bit the fire out of my legs when I tried to pick some of the wild blackberries behind the house, and I blistered my arms and the tops of my feet when I went to the pool. What is it with Georgia and this awful summer weather? Those red bugs and chiggers would’ve died this winter, if it had just been a little colder! Man, I miss winter!

Anyway, I had to drive to the store to get some ice cream, but I couldn’t even sit in the car. I’d left the sunroof open, and the seats were blazing hot – too hot for short pants. I went back in and got a few towels and spread them out so I wouldn’t roast my rump, and it was still an awful ride! I know I shouldn’t drive right now, since we’ve got a major air quality issue in town, but I wanted some fudge brownie ice cream, and we didn’t have any in the ‘fridge. All that ice cream! I’m packing on the extra pounds, but who can exercise in this weather? I see some of those nuts out running in the middle of the day, and it just makes me sweat to watch them. And I’m sweating all the time! Between this broken AC and the trips to the mailbox and a few trips to the store, I’m running out of clean clothes! This whole

town is sweating, and it smells awful everywhere I go. I’m a winter person. I’m not cut out for this Georgia heat wave life! Oh, if it were just winter again! Don’t you agree?

End of simulation. Now, do you feel better about sitting in Old Man Winter’s lap? If you don’t, I can continue the simulation. I know where a million mosquitoes are hiding. I think I hear your AC unit gasping it’s last little breath. You just ran out of sunscreen. Enough? “The devil you know,” so to speak, and right now, winter is the devil we know best.

Summer might seem like an angel – while we’re nursing our wounds from the cold and wet – but that’s just the fog messing with your brain.

Put on your coat, and just ignore the winter blues... unless you’re a pesky insect who’s pretending to read this column. In that case, I recommend you grab your entire family and run outside naked, right now. The brisk air will do you good! I promise.

A symposium on the use of tobacco in our community was sponsored by the Newton County Community Partnership — a Family Connection Collaborative. The symposium was hosted by the B. WILEY STEPHENS COLUMNIST Troy University on Monticello Street. The cost of the use of tobacco in our community, our work places and our youth was spotlighted.

More people die from the use of tobacco than alcohol use, illegal drug use, HIV/ AIDS, motor vehicle injuries, and firearms related incidents combined. Almost twelve percent of Newton County youth, grades 9th-12thhave used tobacco in the past 30 days. Twenty-one percent of adults are current smokers.

The cost to use tobacco is great. The average smoker spends $500 to $3000 a year for the tobacco they use. The smoker and, the employer where benefits are provided, spend $96 billion a year in direct medical cost in America. There is an additional expense of $96.8 billion per year in lost productivity due to sickness and premature death.

Once a person is addicted to tobacco; it is a very difficult to break addiction. But it can be done. If you are a user of tobacco or a family member or friend of someone who is, I urge you to help the smoker find a way to break the addiction. Help is a phone call away. Call the Georgia Tobacco Quit Line, 1-877-270-7867.

If you call, you will find helpful techniques on quitting and a personalized plan, and current information about local tobacco cessation support group and resources. You are also encouraged to speak with your physician, pharmacist, and nurse about safe and effective options to help with quitting.

Many employers are concerned with the cost of their employees’ use of tobacco. Their cost include by lost productivity and higher health cost. One local employer made a presentation at the symposium to encourage others to follow their example of creating a smoke free environment. Charlie Needham, chairperson of the Wellness Team from Beaver Manufacturing Company told of the year long process that led to both of their locations being tobacco free.

Beaver Manufacturing involved all levels of their management and staff in designing the program and putting it into effect. While they encourage all to quit using tobacco, only about a dozen did so. Others have chosen only to give up tobacco for the time they are at work.

This not only will benefit the health of the one no longer using tobacco, but also those who no longer have to breath the second hand smoke of another. Second hand smoke is a danger to one’s health.

The symposium also heard a presentation from CVS Health Company, formally CVS Pharmacy. A corporate decision was made to stop selling any tobacco products in their almost 800 stores. Melvin Smith, Pharmacy Supervisor, and Roland Archibald, District Manager, shared with the group the fact that the decision not to sale tobacco cost the company over two billion dollars in sales. But they said CVS felt like the health of their customers and employees was more important than the lost revenue.

Christine Mills, Health Promotions Coordinator for the Newton County Health Department, told the new challenge facing our youth and community is the form of E-Cigarettes and Vaping. Recently passed laws have limited “Big Tobaccos’” access to our youth. Examples being a tobacco company cannot sponsor a sporting event or concerts, or use any flavoring in their products. So now we are faced with the challenge of E-Cigarettes and vaping. Some even hold this out to be a way of quitting the use of tobacco . The truth is the same danger is present in these products as in tobacco. Addiction can be just as strong. Most E-cigarettes emit aerosol, not water vapor. Secondhand aerosol contains nicotine, ultrafine particles and toxins that are known to cause cancer.

The day my father was born over a century ago, my grandfather took the tobacco and paper out of his pocket and placed on the mantle above the fireplace. He said, “I will not do anything I would not want my son do.” That day, he stopped using tobacco, “cold turkey.” We, as a community, need that same determination to protect our future.

If want more information about this subject and what you can do, contact the executive director of the Newton County Community Partnership, Laura Bertram. She can be reached at 770-786-0807 or nccp@bellsouth.net. Let us add to the tobacco free work places and lower the number of youth starting to use tobacco as well.
