Kelsey Upton was just 15 years old when she received a terrifying text from a registered sex offender in another state. The middle-aged man had seen a pornographic image of another woman that had been posted online along with Kelsey’s name, phone number and address in Oxford. Her father, Randy, a retired law enforcement officer, contacted the district attorney and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, but was shocked to discover that no law had been broken. Because the photograph was not Kelsey’s, the image did not qualify as child pornography, and posting a minor’s information on a porn website was also not illegal. The former classmate who initiated the cruel, dangerous prank went unpunished. “That’s the first thing everybody said, ‘you mean it’s not illegal?’” recalled Randy Upton, speaking at the Capitol this week where he spoke in favor of a new bill that would close that loophole and make it illegal to identify a minor in an obscene depiction. Randy Upton said felt helpless as he watched his daughter spiral into depression as unsavory rumors swept her school. “Some girls confronted her [and said], ‘we heard you were making porn movies’,” He said. “She started struggling with her classes, started having nightmares because she knew, and I knew, that there are sexual predators out there.”

covington city council
Covington looking at utilities changes BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com
The Covington City Council will vote on amending provisions of the electric system and water system ordinances during Monday’s council meeting, possibly reducing city revenue by approximately $700,000. The reason for the amendments will be to help lure more industries to Covington by making the City of Covington utilities more competitive with other utilities companies. The city council met Wednesday in a work session in order to discuss the prospects of these amendments. The city also discussed amending the natural gas utility ordinance, which will come in front of the council at a later public meeting. “We need to think about ways that we can increase that use that we have already committed ourselves to — we need a complete package approach,” Covington City Manager Leigh Anne Knight said. “All of those things boil down to nothing but position us to be in the best place we can be in order to have those businesses looking at us as a viable place to come and plant their business.” The changes to the water, electric and gas utilities will not affect residential users’ bills, but are aimed at larger industries. The major change will come to the city’s revenue stream. At least if there is no changes to industry. “We’re taking a little bit of a risk and a haircut, but it is to put us in a position to grow our grid, and it enhances us in future consideration,” Johnston said. “We’re not in the game right now when it comes down to utilities, and it’s almost embarrassing. This is why I believe it is well worth it. “We’ve got two hats here: a government and utilities company. If we don’t keep the utilities going, everything gets hurt.
KELSEY
>> FROM FRONT PAGE “Her biggest fear was the individual [who texted her] could have snatched her in the middle of the night, could have taken her,” he added. The Uptons decided to go on the offensive, telling their story in the local press and contacting lawmakers. Kelsey become on advocate for legislation to protect other minors from similar threats, and eventually graduated second in her class. “There’s cyber footprints all over the web, although its deleted, ten years from now someone could come up with that image and find her…that’s why we went public with it,” said Randy Upton. Through their public activism, Randy
the lawn and beat him “so severe that bone penetrated into the victim’s brain.” Evidence during the trial suggested that Terrell’s mother was a close friend of Watson, and Terrell stole 10 checks from the victim and began using them. After Watson discovered the theft, he agreed with Terrell’s mother not to press charges if Terrell returned a significant portion of the stolen money by the following morning. The next morning, it was testified that Terrell and his cousin Jermaine Johnson, drove to Watson’s house. Terrell got out of the automobile at Watson’s house carrying a pistol. When Johnson returned from dropping off Terrell, Terrell reportedly told Johnson he had shot someone. Terrell then took his son to the zoo, where he disposed of the pistol. When Watson missed his dialysis ap-
pointment, a search began for the Newton County resident. Evidence found at Watson’s house showed that Terrell hid at the corner of his house waiting for Watson to drive to his dialysis appointment. Terrell then fired repeatedly at Watson, with initial shots striking the driveway, including one that ricocheted into the victim’s thigh. Terrell then continued to attack and overtook Watson, shooting him three more times before dragging him to a secluded area. Evidence in the sentencing phase showed that Terrell had previously participated in a home-invasion robbery against drug dealers at an apartment in DeKalb County in 1990. According to Terrell’s confession in that case, the robbery involved use of guns and the female victims were ordered to strip and were
bound in a closet while the male victim was placed underneath a sofa. In a separate incident, Newton County Sheriff ’s Department deputy testified that in 1994 Terrell approached him and said he was going to rape the officer’s daughter and smiled. Testimony also showed that Terrell set a fire at the Newton County Jail in 1994. Terrell was indicted in the Superior Court of Newton County for one count malice murder and 10 counts of first degree forgery. The first trial ended in a mistrial, and the second resulted in a conviction and death sentence. However, the Georgia Supreme Court reversed the conviction due to an error in jury selection. Terrell’s third trial was held in Walton County and on Feb. 6, 2001, a jury convicted Terrell as charged in the indictment and recommended a death sentence.
Water Utilities
Possible reductions of revenue
Covington’s current water utility is structured with increases to help users conserve water. During the city’s work session Wednesday Knight made the point that most industries already work to conserve water and keep costs down. “They really don’t have a lot of ways of decreasing (their usage),” Knight said. “We began to think from a realistic standpoint, and we’re punishing the people who really don’t have an opportunity to decrease their usage.” The new water rate schedule would be for customers who use in excess of over 50,000 gallons per day. Customers using more than 50,000 gallons, which includes six businesses in Covington, will see their rate reduced from $5.70 to $5.45, if the amendment to the water ordinance is passed.
Water revenue: approximately $50,000 Gas revenue: approximately $250,000 Electric revenue: approximately $400,000 (does not include any changes of utility) Total revenue reduction: $700,000
Electric Utilities Covington is also looking to increase its grid, by bringing in more electric customers. One way the city is looking to do that is by lowering its large industrial rate. “We want to position ourselves on the electric rate to target large industries,” Covington Utilities Director Tim Morris said. (Thirteen months ago) we went to an industrial rate, but we don’t have a large industrial rate to get us in the ballpark (with other electric companies) because we are way, way too high.” Adding tiers to the current rate structure in order to help entice new business is one way Covington hopes it can better position its utilities company and drive more industries to add to the current grid.
Natural Gas Utilities The city of Covington recently corrected a lot of meters in the last five or six months, and offset some of the revenue electric burden, putting it in what Morris said was a pretty good situation, as far as natural gas goes. To further entice customers to purchase natural gas from Covington, the city is adjusting its customer classes, and eliminating wording on the bill. Within the cost of gas on Covington customers’ bills is a product cost adjustment (PCA), which the city identifies on the bill. Morris said that part of the bill will be removed, so the bill will no longer be added up by base charge + fixed unit price + city distribution fee + PCA but instead will be closer to the industry practice structure of base charge + cost of gas + distribution fee.
Upton said he met parents of children who had committed suicide after being subjected to similar harassment. “I know how helpless I felt as a father… so thank God for our representatives picking it up and running with it,” he said. Representative Pam Dickerson even came to Kelsey’s school to offer the girl her support. Five years later, Kelsey’s Law, or HB103, is in the rules committee en route to heading to the floor of the House. Its sponsors include Representatives Dickerson, Dave Belton, Kevin Tanner, Chuck Williams, Allen Peake and Joe Wilkinson. “I just wanted to make sure it got done,” said Belton, who said it took several years to amend the language of the bill to make sure it did not infringe on first amendment rights. “We need to protect our children.”

New State Farm business opens in Social Circle MIKAYLA NEWTON news@covnews.com
It was a grand day for Tim and Jessica Hutchinson Saturday, as they celebrated the opening of their new State Farm office located at 306 Village Circle in Social Circle. Tim Hutchinson, a native of Greenville, South Carolina, was recruited by
State Farm, before recently becoming an agent and moving to open the new business just behind the Blue Willow Inn. The business has continually grown since it began operations just a short time before Saturday’s Grand Opening Celebration thanks to Tim and Jessica getting the word out in the com-
munity. That was evident Saturday, as the grand opening also involved face painting, food offerings, an appearance from Social Circle fire fighters and giveaways. “It’s already such a privilege to be serving this sweet community,” Tim and Jessica said in a recent email. “We’re looking forward to meeting
and building relationships with many more folks. The Huthcinsons and the new State Farm agency have also been involved in community service projects such as service banks and sponsoring a Little League baseball team. The Village Circle State Farm will also be participating in a ribbon cutting Friday.

our thoughts PROUD OF OUR RAMS Courage is inner power to make you fight for your very existence and trying, when you know you may lose. Courage and determination makes a fighter. — Anil Sinha Our Newton Rams finally went up against an opponent that even courage and determination couldn’t beat. The Wheeler Wildcats had just too much strength. The Wheeler boys’ basketball team is not only the No. 1 seed in the Georgia Class AAAAAA basketball playoffs, but it is also ranked No. 7 in the nation according to USA Today, and its star player Jaylen Brown is ranked the top prospect in Georgia and No. 2 in the country. But Newton led late in the second quarter, and kept it within double digits until the final quarter, before ultimately losing — albeit with its head held high. The Rams fought their way to the final eight by beating Tift County and Dacula and in doing so gave the hometown fans much to be excited about. We are proud of our Rams and we thank each and every member of the team for giving us something exciting and pure to have some pride in here in Newton County during these times when we needed it the most.

‘lengthy, partisan, leftist’ A disturbing turn of events has occurred with the new Advanced Placement History Test. The AP has been around since 1956, offering high school students the opportunity to gain college credit by taking a very difficult class and passing a very difficult test. Unfortunately, the College Board (the same folks who write the SAT) has suddenly created a biased and left-leaning test. DAVE BELTON This is worse than the worst aspects of ComCOLUMNIST mon Core. The dogma taught is anti-American and severely negative, ignoring the greatness of our country and focusing on real or alleged injustices of our history. The topics for the old tests where brief, bipartisan, and included a wide range of perspectives. These new topics are lengthy, partisan, and decidedly leftist. They tell students what they must think, replacing any flexibility teachers might have. For example, the one time they mention Reagan was to call him a war-monger. They also emphasize race, class, and ethnicity instead of the Founding Fathers, which are barely mentioned. I participated in a long debate on this issue, where the AP people essentially said, “This is what college professors are teaching, so you need to get over it.” What is being taught in college is an entirely different conversation, but I will be supporting a resolution to find an alternative for Georgia. On the positive side, several good bills are now in motion. SB 5, which passed both the House and Senate by unanimous vote, will enable the Georgia Ports Authority to accept $42 million in federal dollars for the Savannah Harbor. Georgia has already designated $266 million towards the project which began last month and should be finished by 2020. HB 198 passed unanimously in the House. It will require training for teachers to help increase suicide awareness and prevention. While I generally dislike placing even more requirements on our teachers, suicide is the third leading cause of death for teens. Additionally, the military requires all of its members to undergo this training. HB 100 passed the House by a near unanimous vote. This was the slightly controversial bill that requires a child be 5 years old by August 1 in order to be eligible to enroll in kindergarten. This bill changes the current cutoff date from September 1 and would go into effect for the 2017-2018 school year and July 1 for the 2018-2019 school year and all years thereafter. I voted for this bill after it was modified to NOT apply to children enrolling in Kindergarten this or next year. HB 16 would allow kids who go to a Magnet School to return to their school of “origin” and play a sport as long as the Magnet School did not offer that sport. Presented by a Democrat, I nonetheless vigorously defended it. More and more, our schools will become more of a menu of choices instead of the “one-size-fits-all” model of yesteryear. This bill is a great way to expand school choice – perhaps in the future to allow Home-Schoolers to participate (they already do so in Florida via the “Tebow Law”). Keep in mind, the student could not “shop around” and go to another school for recruitment purposes - he or she could only return to the school for which he or she was originally districted. The Transportation Bill (HB 170) changes every day. The new idea now appears to be about a break even for counties, cities and schools. There would be a quarter percent increase in sales tax for SPLOST, LOST, and ELOST on things other than gas. The fuel tax would also increase around 8 cents a gallon and then continue to rise (automatically) on a yearly basis as CAFE standards improve and construction costs go up. This is very troubling for a number of reasons. My bill, HB 130 (“Kelsey’s Law”) is in Rules. It usually takes a few days to get it out of there, but I’ve been assured that it will get to the floor next week. HB 1 (medical cannabis) passed the House by a near unanimous vote and is now at the Senate. I enjoyed spending time with Kristofer Ramdhanie from Oxford, Police Chief Stacey Cotton from Covington, Todd Teasley from the FFA Camp, and Vincent Passeriello from the Covington Airport.

TRUTH matters A New York Times article this past Tuesday titled, “Teenage Girl Leaves for ISIS, and Others Follow,” by Kimiko[1] de Freytas-Tamura, struck close JACKIE GINGRICH to home for me. The CUSHMAN three young women COLUMNIST who left London to enlist in ISIS in Syria were 16, 15 and 15. My daughter is 15. “The apparent trend of studious, seemingly driven young women leaving home to join violent jihadists has become disturbingly familiar,” according to Freytas-Tamura. They were possibly recruited by another woman who had fled England for ISIS in 2013, Aqsa Mahmood. “The young women — Kadiza Sultana, 16; Ms. Begum, 15; and Amira Abase, 15 — were described by a classmate as studious, argumentative and driven, not unlike Ms. Mahmood ... Ms. Begum, who sent a Twitter message to Ms. Mahmood, asked her own followers before she left to ‘keep me in your duas,’ or prayers.” Shocking to think that a 16-year-old and two 15-year-olds could board an international flight. But that is what happened. Shocking to think that while young women and men are being recruited by ISIS, our leaders are still avoiding the truth of the conflict. But that is what is happening. While the new recruits are asking for prayers, President Barack Obama is shifting the language regarding who we are fighting to “violent extremism” and avoiding the truth. “Al-Qaida and ISIL and groups like it are desperate for legitimacy. They try to portray themselves as religious leaders — holy warriors in defense of Islam,” Obama said last week at the Summit on Countering Violent Extremism: “That’s why ISIL presumes to declare itself the ‘Islamic State.’ And they propagate the notion that America — and the West, generally — is at war with Islam. ... They are not religious leaders — they’re terrorists. And we are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.” Obama wrapped an untruth with a truth in the hopes that it would not be untangled. The truth is that we are not at war with Islam. The untruth is his avoidance of the correct label for who is at war with us. The answer: Islamism, or radical Islam. It is not we who are at war with them; it is they who are at war with us. We were not given the choice. But to ignore them is at our own peril. Christian Whiton, former diplomat, lays out in his book, “Smart Power: Between Diplomacy and War,” a critical error in that “two distinct but overlapping elements” were neither clearly identified nor articulated to the American public. He identifies them as Islam and Islamism. “The former is a religion of nearly a quarter of the world’s population; the latter is a political ideology whose central tenet is unifying government, and Islam and is advocated by a small subset of Muslims.” Without our awareness of the situation, it is not possible for us to create a strategy to win. Instead, the administration has decided to intermix activities of ISIS with all violent extremism. The activities of violent extremists are viewed most often as terrorism. Terrorism is a tactic used by people and groups in an attempt to win the political, social or religious goal that they have. It is not in itself a belief system. The belief system itself, Islamism or radical Islam, as defined above, is “a political ideology whose central tenet is unifying government, and Islam and is advocated by a small subset of Muslims.” Our belief system as Americans runs counter to theirs, regardless of the tactics that they use. Our system embraces freedom and diversity; theirs embraces adherence and purity. Obama commented on this belief as well last week, “The reality — which, again, many Muslim leaders have spoken to — is that there’s a strain of thought that doesn’t embrace ISIL’s tactics, doesn’t embrace violence ... but does buy into the idea that Islam is incompatible with modernity or tolerance, or that it’s been polluted by Western values.” But then Obama talks about our responsibility to address political and economic grievances. The reality is while the grievances might cause cracks, it is the ideology of Islamism, or radical Islam itself, that is the draw. “Women who join the Islamic State try to entice other women to marry militants and help them build a new, retrograde Islamic society,” according to Freytas-Tamura. This lays out the argument that the three young women who boarded the plane from Heathrow, on a journey to Syria, were not going to become part of a violent extremism movement; but instead were persuaded by those who talked of a unifying ideology and a promise of “a new, retrograde Islamic society.” To win, we must first be honest with who is against us, regardless of whether we are against them.

They’re under ruthless attack by the academic elite on college campuses across America. These people want to replace personal liberty with government control; they want to replace equality with entitlement; they want to halt progress in order to worship Mother Earth. As such, they pose a far greater threat to our way of life than any Islamic terrorist or group. Visions of multiculturalism and diversity are a cancer on our society. We stupidly fund them with our tax dollars and generous charitable donations. Islamists and leftists attack not only Christianity but also free market capitalism. They do so because Christian nations, which have a great measure of economic liberty, have been at the forefront of the struggle for personal liberty and private property rights for centuries. Personal liberty and private property are anathemas to people who want to control our lives. That is part and parcel of the multicultural and diversity movements infecting the Western world.

Malik Wilson drives into the lane and looks to attack the basket. Wilson scored 11 points in the Newton’s 72-54 loss to Wheeler in the Elite Eight.
3 Takeaways from Newton’s elite eight run The third time wasn’t the charm for Newton (22-9, 5-5 Region 2-AAAAAA), a team that had been on a wild Cinderella run in the state playoffs with upsets over powerhouse Tift County and Dacula. The favorites to win it all in 6-AAAAAA, Wheeler (28-2) and No. 2 player in the nation Jaylen Brown, ended the Rams’ season with a 72-54 win.
their freshman class next season will be as good, if not better, as the Lady Rams’ freshmen stars this season. “We’re just gonna keep it going. We’re really excited about the guys we have returning. Guys like J.D. and [Jaquan]. We’ve got Josh Tukes coming back. If he doesn’t get injured he’s gonna have a great year the whole year. I think he’ll be special,” Rasmussen said. “We’ve got a great group of freshman coming in from the undefeated Clements Middle School team. Ashton Hagans is a star in the making. He’s a 6’1”/6’2” point guard who can pass as good as anybody we’ve ever had and he’ll only be a ninth grader.”
Malik shines
The future is bright
that’s really helped us,” Rasmussen said. “To not have a back down mentality against somebody who’s more talented which we’ve seen here in the state playoffs. He’s very strong and he doesn’t back down and he’s fairly athletic.” Just last year, Wilson wasn’t even on the team. “He didn’t make the team last year as a junior. He wasn’t quite mature enough and ready to play and didn’t have an off-season commitment. I’m really proud of the way he made the team. He came out this summer, he was a part of the summer team. He stayed out of trouble all year. He’s really maturing,” Rasmussen said. “Throughout the course of the season, it takes a while to learn how to play Newton basketball. You have to have sacrifice and discipline. He plays 100 miles an hour in a 55 zone, and sometimes you have to learn to how to just go 10 miles an hour over. 65 in a 55, so you don’t get a ticket. I think that first quarter, he was playing about 75/80 and it was great, but then he kind of wore out.” Wilson didn’t score again after the first, but he wore his heart on his sleeve and still played good defense until the very end.
Overwhelming support
Newton seniors: D.J. Hill, Donovan Grubb, Antonio Smith, Malik Wilson, Jay Sherman and Keondre McKibben went out not as state champions, but as one of the best teams in Newton history supported by one of the best runs in the school’s recent memory. Hill and co. led Newton to its first elite eight appearance since the 20102011 team. “It just keeps the tradition going. We’ve got a great tradition of basketball at our school going back to the ‘64 State Championship. We’re going to hang another banner. When you go into our gym the banners on the right are the Final Fours and Elite Eights that I’ve been a part of, and it’s another up there and we’re really proud of that,” Rick Rasmussen, Rams’ head coach, said. “I thought our kids just played with a ton of courage and heart. I couldn’t be prouder of them. We don’t have any regrets. We have our integrity. Our kids are from Covington. We didn’t go begging anybody to transfer to play for us and so I think it was a victory that we kept our integrity,” Rasmussen said “To do it with kids from Covington, who work hard and pay their dues and maybe don’t have as big names as some kids it makes it all that much more gratifying.” The “Newton way” earned Newton yet another banner to hang in the rafters. Rasmussen is excited about the future of Newton basketball and fans should be too as
Coming into the game against Wheeler, the one thing that must have been plaguing the minds of Newton fans was who would guard Brown, the No. 2 player in the nation. “Defensively we needed somebody who was stronger and bigger. Marvin Boireau is good at guarding a smaller guard, but this is a 6’7” beast so you have to be quick enough to stay in front of him and tough enough and physical enough. So Malik [Wilson] was the guy that drew that assignment and he did a great job holding the kid to 20 points. In the previous game against Douglas County, who was a top 10 AAAAAA ranked team, Brown had 32 and 17 rebounds. He didn’t do that against us. We guarded him, we made him work. Wilson played perfect basketball in the first quarter. He scored 11 of Newton’s 22 first quarter points and played great on-ball defense against Brown, who scored just five points in the second half. “In the first quarter you would’ve thought Malik was the ranked player,” Rasmussen said. “It was exciting. The thing was he wore out, it took so much out of him physically and then he gave so much offensively, slashing and getting to the basket including from the opening tip. It was just too much for one guy to do. Boy, he played his heart out. I thought he and Donovan and D.J. and J.D. all played extremely well.” No one Newton’s team played with as much intensity and confidence as Wilson. He broke to the basket to get easy points and when he made great plays on defense he flashed an ‘X’ with his arms to the Newton crowd yelling “lockdown.” Wilson has played this way all season and it’s been the Rams biggest spark as of late. “He’s got a ton of heart and a ton of guts. As you said, just an extreme competitor. He brings a level of intensity
The game was set for a late Thursday start (7 p.m.), but if you got there less than an hour early you were pressed to find a good seat. In part because of the support from Newton fans, as they showed up in droves to see the Rams play. “It was great,” Rasmussen said of the overwhelming support for the Rams on Thursday. “I think we represented our community extremely well. We really appreciate the support of all our fans. Our school worked really hard to have a fan bus and they got a bunch of kids their that otherwise couldn’t have gone. I even volunteered to pay if they needed to have a certain number of kids to get the bus. I said, ‘Hey I’ll pay for some extra.’ We wanted the support especially with the weather we’ve had and it being a school night and all. We were just really thrilled to have the support there. We went over and thanked the crowd after the game because we appreciated them. It kept us going.” There were plenty of Newton fans in attendance, including former Newton coach Ron Bradley, who sat a few rows behind the Rams’ bench. There were players from other schools from Newton and Rockdale in attendance, all showing support for Newton. Rasmussen says that these students and fans are the best he’s seen in his 17 years at Newton. He says their support helped other Newton teams this year as well as his team. It was a great ride Newton.

Deep Eagles lineup outruns Alcovy shakeem holloway sholloway@covnews.com
E
astside used its deep lineup to put runs on the board against the inexperienced but talented Tigers of Alcovy, defeating them 12-3. The cold weather these past couple weeks has forced both Alcovy and Eastside into practicing less, but the teams played a solid game despite the weather on Friday night. “Our guys have been working their tails off in the cages hitting and getting ready for this. It looked like we got better as the game went on, which is pretty obvious that if we could play some I think we got a pretty good team,” Bruce Evans, Eagles’ head coach, said. “ 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. I think we hit good, but I think we’re gonna hit a lot better if we can put three or four games together in a week so we can see some pitching all week.” Nathan Purcell started on the mound for the Tigers and he ended the first inning quickly going three up and three down. Brantley Proffit took the mound for Eastside and he followed up Purcell’s stellar start to the game with an outstanding start of his own. Proffitt retired the side in order and the game remained scoreless. With two outs and two runners in scoring position, sophomore Josh Sims opened up the game with a blast down the middle for a double that scored Nick Womack and Austin Kerbow to put the Eagles up 2-0. However, Alcovy replicated the Eagles success as Dalton Smith and Dawson White both got an RBI in the
bottom half of the second inning to tie the game at two. Again, the Eagles responded. Hunter Ballard laid down a nice bunt and beat out a throw at first for the first hit of the third inning. Ballard proceeded to steal second and soon after Austin Holloway lined a shot down the middle to score Ballard. Holloway would steal home on a passed ball before the inning ended to lift the Eagles to a 4-2 lead. The Tigers would get just three hits until the sixth inning, totaling eight for the game. “We didn’t seem to have a plan up there tonight and we’ve preached about that through last week,” Ryan Denison, Alcovy head coach, said. “It’s kind of tough not being able to be out on the field for the last week. We’ve preached to em and from now on basically all year you’ve got to have a plan when you go up to the plate.” The Eagles finished with 15 hits and scored four runs in the sixth inning with two outs on the board. “We work real hard on not swinging at anything outside the strike zone. We set a zone and we swing at it there,” Evans said, speaking on his team’s poise at the plate. “We don’t swing at balls in the cages at our field and that’s something we stress. [If] they’re gonna give us something to hit, we’re gonna hit it, but we’re not going to go out of the zone to help anybody.” Based off of their performance against Alcovy, the Eagles have a pretty deep lineup as they had six players with two hits each. Holloway led all batters with three hits. “I probably got three guys on the bench that deserve to hit too and I can’t get ‘em in there because the guys in there are doing there job. That’s the thing,” Evans said. “I told them when I got here, ‘We’re gonna hit the ball.’ That’s something we’re gonna do as a team and I
got all the confidence in the world that we got enough to hit throughout the year. And I got some guys that can come off the bench at anytime and give us a hit. I’m really excited about that.” The Eagles have a few guys that are hurt, Sims and Chase Raines can’t pitch with tendinitis in their shoulders and standout Gray Ritchie hasn’t been throwing any as he recovers from an impingement in his shoulder. Evans says Ritchie could be cleared to start throwing sometime next week. Evans is in his first year as the Eagles’ head coach, and he’s getting used to the players as they adjust to his coaching style. “I’m new here. These kids are all new to me and I’m new to them. I’m figuring out where they can play, what they can handle, what they’re best at, so that’s why we need some games so we can get some of those things nailed down. [Connor Hewell] looked good coming out the ‘pen, so I was kind of excited about that,” Evans said.

Connor Hewell at bat, late in the game against Alcovy. Hewell, who came in to pitch in the sixth inning and allowed just one hit through two innings pitched. Alcovy, on the other hand, has problems of its own. “We hit the ball well and we played well except for early on. We gave up four errors and we had a mental error on the base paths and that kind of set the tone for the rest of the game,” Denison said. “We still, even though we’ve got juniors, we still have a relatively young team as far as experience and it showed a lot tonight

I thought. we just have to learn from our lessons and keep moving.” Denison believes his team’s immaturity showed in the loss, but that they have the talent to compete they just have to bring a better mental approach. “If we can get our maturity level up and being able to be coached, I think we’ll be fine,” Denison said. “Our talent level is there. We’ve
got pitching. We’ve got one of our kids, Hunter Phillips, is probably going to be out about three weeks [with a] broken wrist. He broke it at Evans. One of our better pitchers.” “We don’t have any overpowering pitching so we’re just gonna have to win with defense and bats,” Denison added. Eastside will host Alcovy on Monday at 5:30 p.m.

Athletes of the Week
Austin Holloway
Cold bats give Newton its third loss of the season Javon Dickerson sports@covnews.com
Austin was 3-4 with three RBI and one run scored in a 12-3 win over Alcovy. He made great plays on defense at shortstop.
Dalton Smith Dalton Smith had two hits, including an RBI single against Eastside on Friday,
Even with the winter weather we experienced this past week, spring sports are off and running in full affect. The Newton High School baseball team has already got into the middle of their non-region schedule. Due to several rain-outs, Newton had only played two games until Friday evening where they were looking to get a win over the MLK Lions. Going into the game 0-2, Newton needed this win to kick start the season, but couldn’t get it done and fell 8-4 to the Lions. The game was scoreless after two innings but a basehit by Antonio Johnson led to a RBI-single by Omari Harris to give the Lions a 1-0 lead in the third inning. Harris would continue his hot streak in the fifth inning by smashing a RBIdouble to the wall bringing in another run for MLK. Until this point in the game, Newton only had one hit. In the bottom of the fifth, the Rams rallied to score four runs and take the lead 4-2, but they did it without getting a hit. After two walks to start off, the Lions committed two errors and had two wild pitches. Newton’s base running was impressive as they were able to steal bases when needed. After going scoreless in the sixth, Newton had a 4-2 lead in the top of the sev-
enth just three outs away from their first win. But Newton went into self-destruct mode. After a lead-off walk, it all went downhill for the Rams. They gave up three RBIsingles that led to six runs for the Lions. Newton in all gave up 10 hits to MLK, but they only managed to get two hits in the game by Mason Calloway and Victor Medina. Hitting has been the major problem for the Rams to start off the season. In their previous two games, they were only able to score three runs combined and couldn’t get more than two hits each game. Pitching has been solid for Newton, and maybe be their strong point due to the lack of offense they’re receiving. “We can’t hit,” Newton Head Coach Andre Byrd said. “It’s kind of hard to say that when that’s all we have been doing (hitting).” Newton is a young team with just four seniors on the roster this year. The current seniors didn’t get much playing time last year. The Rams are coming off an extremely impressive year being the Region 2-AAAAAA champions last season. Byrd feels that his players think they can just walk in and become region champs without putting in the necessary work. Byrd said, “They are living off of them [2014 baseball team] not understanding they got to actually play the game of baseball.”

The Newton way shakeem holloway

sholloway@covnews.com
he Rams’ state playoff run stopped on a cold Thursday night at Wheeler High School, with a large number of Newton fans tucked inside Wheeler’s gym hoping to see the Newton boys basketball team pull of yet another upset. Three days later and the buzz has died, but the players and head coach Rick Rasmussen will always know how it all came together. Newton pretty much backed into the playoffs this year. After a dominant win (68-43) against a winless Alcovy team, the Rams were beaten by Rockdale (52-47) for the third time this season and then they lost to Lovejoy (50-45) in the third place game of the Region 2-AAAAAA tournament. “I feel like we didn’t shoot the ball well in the region tournament and nothing went our way. We had some tough calls and I felt like we weren’t where we need it to be as a team and then things didn’t go our way. I think giving us a four-seed, I think we had a little bit of a chip on our shoulder,” Rasmussen said. “I don’t think we’re a typical four-seed. I think we’re deceptively talented and I think that maybe early on in the playoffs, I think we surprised Tift County. I think we did get a little bit of a chip on our shoulder that nobody expected us to be able to beat Tift and we played with a little ‘nothing to lose’ swagger.” Tift felt that swagger and saw the talent Newton had in the Rams 52-49 victory over Tift. After the win. Rasmussen says although the Tift fans were in shock they treated Newton with nothing but respect. “In the locker room after Tift and in the waning moments of the game, it was sort of a surreal feeling. Even though we had a pretty good sized lead for a large portion of that game we were never comfortable because we knew they could come back, and of course they did and we held on by three. [The win gave us] a real sense of accomplishment and confidence. It just felt really special to leave the court when everybody was hugging and jumping on each other on the sideline after the game,” Rasmussen said. “Just going into the locker room and seeing the enthusiasm of the kids and all the hard work and off-season, and all those things paying off. Just to see the joy in the locker room was very rewarding and gratifying,” he added. “We got a ton of compliments from the people at Tift when we left. A lot of parents, boosters and fans, although they were shocked, they were very congratulatory because they knew something special had occurred. We got a lot of compliments, including the Tift coach. He told
me that was the best coaching job he’d seen the entire season and I thought he was really first class and professional about it.” Rasmussen says that he and the Tift coach are good friends, and that he was amazed by the way Newton played that night. The losses against Rockdale and Lovejoy, by a combined 10 points, really gave Newton an edge. You could see the confidence in Newton before they left to play Tift. It was like they were the No. 1 seed and Tift was coming to play them – although on the outside that confidence seemed useless, in hindsight it was just perfect. Talking to Newton D.J. Hill before the Rams got on the bus, I asked him if Newton would win and he responded with a quick “of course.” “I think the kids have gotten really focused and they’ve really sacrificed,” Rasmussen said. “They’ve really accepted their roles here down the stretch. They’ve really realized that for us to be successful we have to play our game and everybody has to sacrifice. The attitudes of the kids are the best they’ve been all season right now and its made a huge difference.” You’d think Newton would have accomplished enough with the win over Tift, but Dacula soon found out that the Rams were for real. “To beat Dacula was kind of proof that the upset wasn’t a fluke, that we were a team to be reckoned with. I think it validated [the win against Tift,” Rasmussen said. “To see our kids play with the same level of confidence and to make timely shots, continue to believe in each other and work extremely hard defensively. Getting the loose balls and taking charges, and doing the things that it takes to beat a team in a playoff atmosphere. Again, great joy in the locker room and on the bus and just a feeling of pride. As you said we’ve been there before, but it feels really good to be back.” Newton’s system/style of play comes with its warts – its slow and not necessarily fun to watch – but it also comes with winning. Fundamentals and discipline are the two concepts that most represent what it means to play the ‘Newton way.’ Rasmussen says those very same concepts were a big part of every Newton team that made a deep playoff run. “It’s unique in that we’re not playing a brand of basketball that maybe everybody wants to play. It’s hard to get kids – in this day and age – to buy in to winning is more important than playing for show,” Rasmussen said. “I think our kids have been able to say, ‘Hey we want to be the best team we can be and what’s it gonna take to get there and let’s get together on the gameplan. Let’s do our best as a team.’”

RELIGION Consider the lilies … “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? “ —Matthew 6.28b-30 (New Revised Standard Version)

just a thought Who sees you?
On a recent trip to the Holy Land, I was struck by the vast difference in landscapes and structures as we traveled from place to place in Palestine and Israel. One of the most well preserved structures that we were able to view was the excavated remains of the Herodion just southeast of Bethlehem in Palestine.
JAN MCCOY COLUMNIST
From the top of the Herodium (Herodion), a breathtaking view captures the attention of all who venture up the steep climb. Herod the Great’s alternate residence, a sort of “country house” commands the eye of all who approach it. It’s easy to see why one who lived on the top of this ornate structure thought that he commanded the world. Inside, the excavated baths and gardens in this palace were by 1st century standards elaborate. This massive cone shaped structure housed a fortress, a town, and a palace all in one. Even one of the ritual baths would have been larger than a dwelling for a small family.
Who are you teaching to pray? Now maybe no one has come to you like Jesus disciples and asked you specifically to teach them to pray. However, we don’t always teach one on one or in a class or Sunday school class room either. The truth is we do far more teaching from a distance than we realize. That’s right, like it or not, people are watching us, listening to us, forming opinions based on us and even mimicking us. So, who are you teaching to pray because they see how important of a part of your daily life it is, how serious you take it, how committed you are to it and how much you have faith in it? Who sees and hears you approach your Father with reverence, not just accept but embrace His will over your own? Who sees you humbly seeking His forgiveness and acknowledging you need to forgive others and daily admitting you daily need the Father’s protection, guiding and leadership? Who hears you praising God daily for all He has provided and that you really do trust in Him for all your needs? And who knows you are bold, persistent and believing in your prayer life because they see and hear you keep seeking, asking and knocking? Who are you teaching to pray? You never know who is watching and listening and learning from you. How are you teaching those who are to pray? “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray,…” Luke 11:1a Dr. William Burnham is pastor of Point of Grace Church in Covington. He can be reached at burnhamw@charter.net.
The climb down the winding stairs inside can make you dizzy if you go too fast. Stopping for an occasional breath, I wondered if that must be what bees feel like in a hive. Certainly, inside the towers, I felt completely safe and separated from the world outside. What skill and workmanship it took to erect such a massive structure. Yet, this structure in all its glory was no more cared for than the birds and the flowers.
As we descended the outside from about half way down, we saw wild poppies which were more beautiful than this castle could ever have been. What a wonderful Creator, to allow us to think so much of ourselves, and then to show us in the petals of a small red flower who is greater than all of these massive structures.
Dear God, never let me be so full of myself that I cease to be filled with your Spirit. Amen. Rev. Jan McCoy is the Associate Pastor of Covington First United Methodist Church in downtown Covington. She may be reached at jan.mccoy@ngumc.net or at covingtonfirst.org.
Huckabee’s challenge: Reaching beyond cultural conservatives Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee travels the country in a bus adorned with his smiling face and the cover of his latest book. But the ordained Baptist minister and potential 2016 presidential candidate makes it clear that he’s interested in more than best-seller lists. “I think everyone understands where this is headed,” Huckabee said after signing books in metro Atlanta. After all, he joked, he didn’t recently leave his own Fox News Channel show “because I want to spend Saturdays at home.” No, Mike Huckabee wants to spend his time in the Oval Office. The man who won the Iowa caucuses and seven other states in 2008 has reassembled key players from his first presidential campaign. They’re working at his not-for-profit organization, America Takes Action, poised to transition from exploring a run to a formal campaign. He’s spent months courting potential donors and mixing speaking engagements into his book tour. Huckabee, 59, told The Associated Press he expects to decide in April
The Covington News
or May. Along the way, he’s fine-tuned his pitch for aggressive foreign policy, economic populism and social-conservative orthodoxy, a mix designed to attract Republican primary voters as well as independents in a general election. But this time, he’s carefully ordered those priorities. “Running for president
for me would not be about speaking on cultural issues,” Huckabee said. “It would be first and foremost about national security, the absolute warning about Islamic jihadism and how much of a threat that poses to us. The second layer would be some economic sanity, getting back to a place where people are working with jobs that give them an ability to
put bread on the table and build a future.” Social issues, Huckabee said, would be a clear third. “I can intelligently articulate the ‘why’ that I feel strongly about certain things,” he said, reaffirming his opposition to abortion rights and same-sex marriage. “But I think those issues aren’t the issues you are going to put front and center.”

Colleen Capes Jackson published a cookbook to help raise money for Newton County’s homeless shelters.
from the
heart Local woman cooks up charity for homeless shelters staff reports news@covnews.com
Mix together a woman’s desire to feed the hungry, kind hearts of Newton County residents, recipes handed down through generations, and a need for charitable contributions from the area’s homeless shelter and that is a recipe for the “Feed the Hearts of the Hungry” cookbook. The book is the doing of Newton County’s Colleen Capes Jackson, who published the local cookbook and is donating every dollar of its $15 cost to either The Garden of Gethsemane Homeless Shelter or The Repairers of the Breach. “We can all work together to feed the hearts of the hungry,” Jackson said. “With the resources at hand in our community, no one should ever be hungry, homeless, or without a friend who will share God’s love and the message of salvation through Jesus.” The book features recipes ranging from Zucchini Bread by Sherry Lowery, to Rev. Clara Lett’s Sweet Potato Custard, Chicken Alfredo Roll-Ups by Rita Johnston, Taco Soup by Lila Crawford and more. Jackson also included short stories in the book from several local authors for cooks to read through while everything is in the oven. Two hundred copies of the book were published, and if all are sold that will mean $3,000 for local homeless shelters. To purchase “Feed the Hearts of the Hungry” you can pick up a copy at YaYa Sisters on Pace Street or email colleenjackson@charter.net.

Passion on display A few years ago, I overheard someone stating his view on books. “Oh, we don’t have books in david mccoy our house. We Columnist don’t read.” I didn’t faint, but my heart rate did drop to a dangerous level that would make a pricey surgeon call her local Mercedes dealership to check out the lease rates. “No books? None?” I couldn’t imagine this kind of house. What would they put on their bookcases? Clown figurines? Pictures of cats? Maybe they don’t even own bookcases! I really couldn’t make sense of this statement. No books? Why would you even state that in public? You might as well tell us that you wear unwashed underwear or that you eat cereal off the floor. No books? No way! My family is passionate about books, and we have that passion on display. We have bookcases in every major room in the house, not to mention a few minor rooms. My dad made most of our bookcases — we’re that serious. We live and breathe books and we store them where ever we can find space. And space is at a premium in our house, thanks to
those books. You would think we live in a library, and that’s not a bad observation since Jan was once a librarian and we are both active writers. Books are our passion. You can see that everywhere you look. So when I heard of someone who didn’t share that passion my first reaction was that he was just uninformed and ignorant. And that’s when I learned something about myself. I learned that I can appear just as odd to others, if we talk about sports. I guess I’ll have to admit it, but I am not a sports fan. My view of Hell is Satan wearing short pants and a whistle, telling all the poor damned souls to do “ten more laps around the blacktop.” I hate the entire world of grass fields, locker rooms, sweat, and spit. And you can tell that by looking in my house. You won’t find any balls anywhere. We don’t have a closet full of footballs, or a bin of baseballs, or a tub of basketballs. We treat balls like that guy treats books: “Oh, we don’t have balls in our house. We don’t bounce.” Sports nuts think I’m pathetic. Their houses are jammed full of balls. They have golf balls in their pantries, soccer balls in their easy chairs, and bowling balls in their trunks. “No balls? None?” I can’t imagine this kind of house. What would they put in their duffel bags? Clown figurines? Pic-
tures of cats? Maybe they don’t even own duffel bags!” Touché. And the shoe is suddenly on the other foot, only it’s not a shoe with cleats. No. It would never be a shoe with cleats around here. And this is how I learned that we aren’t all the same. I like books. You like balls. That’s fine. It’s America and we can each have our own passions. I can invest in bookcases; you can invest in air pumps and those little needles you use to inflate basketballs. And we can live in harmony, unlike in those countries that mandate golf ball ownership or force the citizens to read science fiction. Passion is what it is. It can be applied to books or balls. I guess you can even be passionate about clown figurines, but that’s going too far — in my opinion — sort of like eating cereal off the floor.

Many of us watched the annual Academy Awards last Sunday night. The telecast started an hour and half before the actual ceremonies, as the various celebrities walk the “Red Carpet” to en- b. wiley stephens Columnist ter the auditorium. And that was followed by over three hours of music, film clips, speeches, and awards. For those involved in the ceremony, the night was just starting as the telecast ended. There was the Governor’s Ball followed by many parties. The major networks featured the awards in their Monday morning programs. But my question to you is not about the red carpet, or fancy balls and parties. My question concerns the fact that almost every winner expresses appreciation to others for the fact that they are being honored. So who in your life would want to express your appreciation to for who you are and where you are in life? Often the family is mentioned. I think most of us appreciate what all our families have done for us. The question is, do we take the time with our spouses, our children, our parents, and our many other family members to tell them how we feel. J.K. Simmons, the winner of the best supporting actor Oscar for his role in “Whiplash”, said “Call your Mom. Call your Dad, if you are lucky enough to have a parent or two alive on this planet, call them. And tell them how much you love them. Don’t text or email. Call them.” He is promoting the idea not only to take the time to express our appreciation but to do it in a personal way. Technology at times can rob us of what the human voice can communicate. I would think we would also express our appreciation to many others who have made each of us the person we have become. These might include our friends, our teachers, our co-workers and our mentors. If we are in a profession or business, would we not also include our clients or customers? It is not always easy to express our deep felt appreciation. But what a gift we give to others when do express that love. Eddie Redmayne, this year’s winner for Best Actor, said, “I don’t think I’m fully capable of articulating how I feel right now,” and we stop to realize how blessed we are, we probably find our words inadequate as well. We could have to include those our community and nation that have invested so much in us. Redmayne went on to add, “I am a lucky, lucky man.” So it is with you and me, as we are blessed to be born when and where we were. So if words fail us what do we do? I would say get involved in trying to help others. Be a part of their “support team” that empowers them to be all they were created to be. When you see something around you that someone needs to speak up about, be that person. One of the other “traditions” of Oscar night is some of the winners speaking out on a variety of issues Patricia Arquette, the winner for best supporting actress in “Boyhood”, spoke out on the issue of wage equality for women in our nation. She said, “To every woman who gave birth to every taxpayer and citizen in this nation: We have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time…” Dana Perry, the winner for the Best Documentary Short challenged us to speak about suicide. The writer of the winning best adapted screen play, Graham Moore, spoke from his heart saying, “And now I am standing, for that kid out there, who thinks he is weird.” What are the issues or insights that you need to share with those around you? What cause do you need to give a voice to? What would strengthen our community if someone spoke up? You may not be on the public stage like Oscar night but you can speak where you are. Julianne Moore, winner of best actress for her role in “Still Alice“ said “I read an article that said winning an Oscar could lead to living five years longer.” I am not sure at all if that is true, but I know if you will become a part of those seeking positive change in our world, you will add to the quality of life for many. Many of the winners this year dealt with major issues. Issues we face such as ALS, Alzheimer’s, Depression, Racism, and Sexual Orientation. How the story was told will change how some see the issue. Laura Poitras, the winner of the Best Documentary Feature, said, “My hope is that this award will encourage more people to see the film and be inspired by its message that ordinary citizens, working together can change the world.” I would give two words of caution to each of us. First, choose carefully what you read, watch, or listen to but they may frame the world you see. Secondly, when you speak out on an issue or get involved in working to solve an issue, make sure you fully understand what you are doling. B.

AMERICA’S FIRST WAR ON TERROR
E
cclesiastes 3 - “To everything there is a season….and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:8 – “A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” ‘Appeasement’, in party-political terms means: To yield or satisfy the belligerent demands of another nation. One of the best examples of ‘appeasement’ in modern times was when Herr Hitler browbeat British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain into believing his worthless Munich agreement with the Fuhrer had brought “peace for our times.” Bullies will continue to bully until someone braver and stronger stands up to the bullies. The first American president to grasp this truism was Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson threw a hissy fit when ransom payments to Barbary Pirates in 1800 for American vessels, sailors, and citizens in captivity came to 20% of government expenditures. From 16th into the 19th century, pete mecca the Muslim pirates of Algiers, MoColumnist rocco, Tripoli, and Tunis, as well as other North African countries and seaports, raided and pillaged up and down the Mediterranean without significant reprisal. In those centuries alone, an estimated 800,000 to 1.5 million non-Muslims were captured and forced into slavery. England, France, Spain, and other European countries paid tribute, basically ‘protection money’, to keep their merchant shipping from being molested. To not comply resulted in extreme brutality. Prisoners could remain in slavery for years, many times for the rest of their lives. One ransomed slave was Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote. In 1554, Vieste, Italy was sacked, 5,000 citizens beheaded, another 6,000 abducted for the slave market. Muslim pashas, oghas, deys, and beys became filthy rich. The Netherlands, Ireland, even Iceland coastal towns fell victim. Over time, the Dutch, Italians, English, French, Spanish, the Portuguese, and other European nations, together or separately, eventually stopped squandering national treasuries for higher and higher ransom demands and put their foot down, including barrages of several thousand cannon balls along the Barbary Coast. Their ports and palaces in ruins, and not quite ready for martyrdom, Muslim chiefs and the Dey of Algiers agreed to a pre-Chamberlain settlement of ‘peace for our times,’ meaning they would pick on someone else. Enter the United States of America. Before our War of Independence, American merchant vessels fell under the protection of the mighty British Navy. During the ‘colony uprising’ France filled our protective void on the high seas. Albeit, once America became independent both England and France essentially informed our new republic, ‘Have a nice day and protect your own vessels.” President George Washington attempted to negotiate with the Barbary States without success. One of his envoys, naval hero John Paul Jones, was basically shown the door and ridiculed. American ambassadors in Europe — Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson — tried to work out deals to free Americans wasting away in Barbary dungeons; all three were told to hit the road. Our second President, John Adams, paid for peace with the approval of Congress in 1785: Algiers was granted $625,500 cash, a 36 gun frigate, ammunition, and yearly tribute of $21,500; huge amounts of money for that time. Adding insult to injury, a set ransom rate was established for Americans in Barbary prisons: passengers, $4,000; cabin boys, $1,400. Not to be slighted, Tunis and Tripoli demanded their own blood money. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with an ambassador from the pirate nations in March of 1786 to again attempt negotiations. They wanted to know why American vessels were being assaulted without provocation. As if laying the ground work for ISIS, the North African ambassador replied that Muslim pirates had a right to plunder vessels of the United States because Americans were infidels. Upon Washington’s death, the Pasha of Tripoli, Yusuf, informed Adams that when men of prominence pass away
in a tributary state said state must offer a ‘gift’ in the deceased’s name to the crown of Tripoli. Yusuf considered our first President to be worth about $10,000, give or take a few bucks. By 1801 Yusuf had received zilch from the US Treasury, threw a temper tantrum, and called for the American representative. Our diplomat was made to kiss Yusuf’s hand before being told the tribute had been raised to $225,000, plus $25,000 per year. If we refused, there would be war. To prove his point, the flag pole in front of our consulate was cut down. Then rose a quandary for the Barbary pirates: a new sheriff had come to town, our 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was infuriated to discover ransoms and favors and tributes had already exceeded two million dollars, over one-fifth of the annual income of the United States Government. Jefferson let it be known: ‘time to show the flag, boys!’ Jefferson dispatched warships to escort American vessels, plus Captain Edward Preble showed up in Tangier harbor with the USS Constitution, opened the gun ports and aimed his cannons point blank at the Sultan’s palace. Do tell, the Sultan signed an agreement not to molest American ships. However, the frigate USS Philadelphia ran aground near Tripoli as she pursed an enemy corsair. Unable to maneuver and facing a slaughter, her crew of 307 surrendered and were put in chains. Negotiations for their release failed, even a $100,000 offer was refused. Captain Preble unleashed his best fighter, a soon-to-be Navy legend, Stephen Decatur. The young lieutenant captured a small enemy ketch, disguised it and his crew as North Africans, and sailed into the dark harbor of Tripoli during the night of February 15, 1804. The small ketch bumped against the Philadelphia, the
Americans flung grappling hooks to join the vessels, then as one of the Barbary pirates reported after the brawl, “The Americans sent Decatur on a dark night, with a band of Christian dogs fierce and cruel as the tiger, who killed our brothers and burnt our ships before our eyes.” Twenty pirates met death; the rest jumped over the side. One American suffered a minor cut. Upon hearing of the venture, legendary British Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson said of the attack, ‘the most bold and daring act of the Age.’ More battles and victories ensued as did the Battle of Derna, resulting in the first time an American flag flew over foreign soil. Marine 1st Lt. Presley O’Bannon led 8 Leathernecks and a polyglot mercenary band of 500 Berber, Greek, and Arab soldiers across a hot desert and captured the Tripolitan city of Derna. The exploit is forever memorialized in the Marine hymn, “……to the shores of Tripoli.” It seems that England and her former colonies discovered another bone to pick, thus the War of 1812. American navy vessels vanished from the Barbary Coast to search for British shipping. With our navy no longer a threat, the Dey of Algiers decided he needed to increase the number of American slaves. Once again, ships were seized, namely the brig Edwin, people sold into slavery, shouts for more money voiced. Strange thing; wars do end. Ten weeks after the War of 1812 fizzled to a finale, the United States finally said, ‘enough is enough’ and formally declared hostilities against Algiers. With ten fighting ships and loaded for bear, master seaman Stephen Decatur sailed for the Mediterranean to settle old scores. In June of 1815 Decatur pounced on the flagship of the Dey of Algiers. He shot it to pieces, seized the ship plus 486 Muslim crewmembers, then sent an ultimatum to the Dey: Free all the slaves at once, pay a $10,000 indemnity to the survivors, and cease your lawless behavior forever. The Dey claimed the altercation had been a humble misunderstanding, plus he was more than willing to correct things with the Emperor of America. The ‘misunderstanding’ cost the Dey $46,000 for the Americans to ‘go away’ plus he was forced to free all his slaves. As the Dey groomed his beard with a diamond-encrusted comb, he whined, “Why do they send wild young men to treat for peace with the old powers?” Sadly for the ‘old powers’, the wild young American was not finished. Decatur set his sights on Tripoli and Tunis. Tripoli crumbled under pressure and cannon balls, paid ‘Wild Thing’ a $25,000 indemnity and freed all its slaves. Decatur’s decisive and fast action compelled Europe to follow America’s example. The butchery, slave trade, raiding, and ransom racket was over, at least until lately. Stephen Decatur became a national hero yet lost his life at the age of 41 in a duel with Commodore James Barrow. The County and City of Decatur, GA honor his name. The present scourge of the Middle East, ISIS, is really nothing new. The bloodthirsty cowards behind the masks are nothing more than Barbary retreads with modern weapons. But the tactics are still the same: mass beheadings, ransoms, the torching of humans, slavery, concubines, fun in the Middle East sun at a hideous cost to precious life. Stephen Decatur’s specter lives on in the United States military. Highly trained men and women know their jobs and are willing to do whatever is necessary to confront and destroy evil. They can, and should, wrench the diamond-encrusted comb from the hand of ISIS. But America needs patriots, not politicians. We have the means to solve the challenge but our leaders lack the resolve. And let’s pray another Thomas Jefferson is on the horizon. Pete Mecca is a Vietnam veteran, columnist and freelance writer. You can reach him at aveteransstory@gmail.com or aveteransstory.us.

Walk-in treatment in a timely manner staff reports news@covnews.com
When sudden illness or injury strikes, it can be frightening — especially if your regular doctor isn’t available or can’t see you on short notice. In the midst of your panic, you have to decide where to go for the medical attention you or your loved one need. At your local emergency room, you can count on long wait times and higher costs. But the good news is that there’s somewhere else you can turn, as long as your illness or injury is not life-threatening. Urgent care centers offer walk-in medical treatment for injuries or illnesses requiring immediate care, but not serious enough to require an ER visit. Additionally, most urgent care facilities offer extended hours, compared to regular doctor’s offices, so you can visit during early morning, late evening or on the weekend. When to choose urgent care Urgent care centers do not treat major medical traumas or conditions, but they can provide treatment for most health issues when your primary care doctor is not available or cannot see you on short notice. Often, the wait time to be seen at an urgent care center is less than 30 minutes, compared with the possibility of waiting for hours at a hospital emergency room to be seen for illnesses or injuries that are not life-threatening. Keep in mind that many health care plans may not pay for a visit to the ER for what they consider to be “non-emergency” care. For these reasons, it can be more efficient to use urgent care services than an emergency room in terms of both money and time.
General guidelines for choosing Urgent Care or Emergency Room: • Urgent care centers can treat minor illness such as coughs, body aches, earache, sore throat, allergic reactions, urinary tract infection, lacerations, sprains, minor cuts, sutures, and suture removal. Some can also handle sports physicals and DOT physicals and Worker’s Comp visits. • A good urgent care clinic will have relationships with specialists in the community as well as hospitals, as a safety net for patients, so they can refer you if additional care is needed. • If you’re having serious symptoms and you think you need hospitalization or surgery, go to the If you need immediate, non-emergency care, emergency room; for and live in Rockdale, Newton, or surrounding example, an intense pain, areas, Georgia Primary & Urgent Care now has two which could indicate locations: appendicitis or a kidney 1301 Sigman Road NE, Conyers, GA, 678stone. 609-4912, Monday – Friday 8am-7pm and • Always in the case of Saturday 8am-Noon AND crushing chest pain, severe 7138 Highw212, Suite A, Covington, GA , 678bleeding, trouble breathing, 625-4441, Monday – Friday, 12Noon-8pm. or signs of stroke call 9-1-1 immediately.
