Newton Co. home found with guns, stolen cars BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com

A residence at 505 Idlewood Drive was discovered to have multiple guns, multiple stolen cars and enough drugs to cause the Newton County Sheriff ’s Office to charge its owners with intent to distribute Saturday. A NCSO deputy was patrolling the area of Hwy. 36 near Hwy. 212 at around 3:30 p.m. when they spotted a male operating his motorcycle with a break light not functioning. According to reports, after pulling the driver over in the parking lot of the Potts

Store the deputy not only determined that the driver did not have a motorcycle license but also that he had methamphetamine in a pill container in his jacket. After a warrant was obtained the deputy then searched the home of the driver, identified as 47-year old Steven Foster. “They found multiple guns, located stolen property, multiple stolen vehicles and multiple pieces of lawn equipment,” said NCSO Sgt. Cortney Morrison. Steven’s wife, Vicki Foster, 52, was at the home at

Each of Newton County’s commissioners and chairman have chosen a citizen to sit on a panel to review the county charter, which dictates the local form of government. The panel will have until August 1 to submit any recommended changes to the charter, which would have to be approved by the General Assembly. The board recently voted to restore powers that had been stripped from the chair, but the changes will not be effective until January, 2017. The intention of the citizens’ committee is to update the language of the charter and clarify any vague points in it. The panel is as follows: Ronnie Cowan representing the Chairman; Wesley Dowdy representing District One; Marcello Banes representing District Two; Gladstone Nicholson representing District Three; Junior Hilliard representing District Four; and Buddy Morgan representing District Five.

Newton unemployment rate dips in February STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

LOCAL

As metro Atlanta unemployment dropped, so has Newton County’s. The Georgia Department of Labor announced Thursday that February’s unemployment rate for Newton County was 7.1 percent. That is down slightly from January’s rate of 7.3. By the numbers, 3,425 Newton residents were unemployed of the 48,053-member labor force. Those numbers are significantly better than a year ago, when 8.8 percent of Newton residents were unem-

ployed in February 2014. There was 7.2 percent unemployment for Newton County in December 2014. Rockdale County’s unemployment rate is also down slightly, dipping to 7 percent in February from 7.1 percent in January 2015. Of the 42,302-person labor force, 2,961 were reported unemployed by GDOL. State labor officials say metro Atlanta’s unemployment rate has dropped to 6.1 percent as employers created more jobs and laid off fewer workers. The Georgia Department of La-

bor on Thursday announced the new rate for February, which is down from 6.2 percent in January. February’s jobless rate is also down from 7.1 percent from February 2014. Metro Gainesville had Georgia’s lowest area jobless rate for February at 5.1 percent. The Heart of Georgia-Altamaha region had the highest at 8.1 percent. The local area unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted. Statewide, Georgia’s seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate for February was 6.3 percent.

Newton’s Baxter, now Baxalta BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com

Baxalta Incorporated is still making its way toward bringing a large amount of new jobs and a new level of industrial growth to Newton County, and it progressed another step during a meeting of the Joint Development Authority (JDA) Tuesday. The JDA, which owns Stanton Springs, approved a resolution to essentially turn over the name Baxter to Baxalta. About a year ago Baxter International announced to split its business into two companies, placing its $9.4 billion medical products division and its $5.8 BioScience division into separate businesses. The plant, currently being built on the Newton/Walton county border, was placed under the BioScience company due to its production of plasma-based treatments Gammagard and Albumin by 2018.

On September 10, the BioScience company was announced to be named Baxalta Incorporated and to be led by BioScience President Ludwig Hantson. "The naming of Baxalta is the latest milestone on our journey to becoming a separate, independent company," said Ludwig Hantson, Ph.D., president of Baxter BioScience, who will be chief executive officer of Baxalta in a press release. "The name Baxalta celebrates and sustains Baxter's heritage as an innovator with a legacy of leadership by incorporating the Baxter name and coupling it with 'alta,' which derives from altus, Latin for 'high' or 'profound.' Both companies share a deep commitment to meeting the needs of current and future patients, which will continue to inspire us going forward." Baxter International purchased 162 acres in Stanton Springs Industrial Park off U.S. Highway 278, including 54 acres in Newton County

and 108 acres in Walton County. Hantson told The News in April 2012 that only a third of the site will be built out for the initial $1 billion investment. The remaining 100-plus acres could be built out depending on company performance. Baxter’s plans call for an integrated campus of buildings totaling one million square feet, including three main manufacturing buildings, as well as support components such as warehouse and utilities buildings, administrative facilities and laboratories. Stanton Springs, where the Baxalta campus is located, is overseen by the JDA, which is made up of Jasper, Morgan, Newton and Walton county officials. JDA directors at Tuesday’s meeting were Keith Ellis and Mort Ewing of Newton County, Mike Owens and Kevin Little of Walton County, Steve Jordan and Carl Pennamon of Jasper County and Andy Ainslie and chairman Alan Verner of Morgan County.

Annual Cheerios Challenge returns April 18 STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

In the midst of this beautiful spring weather, it’s the perfect time to get out and run or just enjoy the outdoors. It can also be a good time to bond with the family. This is why there is so much anticipation for the 14th Annual Cheerios Challenge held right here in Covington, at the YMCA on April 18. This event is held every year for people in the community to get out, come together, and be active during the spring time, and it also helps raise funds for YMCA’s Why It Matters annual fundraising camping. The campaign is used to help families participate in Y programs that otherwise might not be able to afford it. “We usually have around 1400 or 1500 runners and we are planning to have more than that this year,” Louly Hay-Kapp, executive director of the YMCA, said. “It is usually a gorgeous spring morning a great time to run or walk and get out and celebrate health and wellness in this good community.” There are many events that will take place at the event, including: 10K run (7:30 a.m.), 5K run

Last year’s Cheerios Challenge saw about 1,400 participants. The events expects to gather more runners this year. (9:30 a.m.), Trix Tot Trot (8:45 a.m.), 1 Mile Fun Run (9:00 a.m.), and a silent auction that starts at 10 a.m. on April 17 and continues through April 18 at 9:30 a.m. Anyone can participate in the events through registering with the Covington Family YMCA and paying the required fees. The YMCA does not work alone in putting

this amazing community event together. General Mills, Sunbelt Builders, Advantage Fire, BB&T, Police Who Care, and Ginn Chevrolet are all sponsors and work in conjunction with the Y to present the Cheerios Challenge. For more information visit www.ymcaatlanta. org/cvy or call 770-787-3908.

NCSS Named a REACH School System STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen (REACH) Georgia has announced that the Newton County School System (NCSS) is one of 19 additional Georgia school systems that will be participating in the program in the 2015-2016 school year. Georgia school systems had the opportunity to apply to participate in REACH Georgia during the application process that was open from December 1 through February 25. “I am very excited that we have been selected to participate in the REACH Georgia initiative. Community collaboration and support are critical to the success of our students,” said NCSS Superintendent Samantha Fuhrey. “The REACH Georgia program provides a platform for our local businesses and industries to join forces to greatly impact the educational opportunities of our students through their future contributions to the REACH Georgia Scholarship. We look forward to strengthening our partnerships and employing all of our resources to change the lives of students in our school system.”

“The REACH program is a premier example of how we are working to expand access to higher education to students who otherwise would not be able to afford it,” said Governor Nathan Deal. “Through REACH, Georgia’s most promising students can turn their dream of attending college and making a better life for themselves and their families into a reality. This program continues to expand across Georgia because it promotes student achievement from the ground up, rewarding students for self-accountability, involving parents and providing motivation and support. With this combination, I have no doubt that the hard-working students in the 19 additional school systems will find that a college education can finally be in their reach.” Governor Deal launched REACH in 2012 as a key initiative of Complete College Georgia. School systems partner with REACH and identify academically promising, low income eighth grade students to serve as REACH Scholars. These Scholars are paired with a mentor and an academic coach through high school. Upon graduation from high school, Scholars are awarded up to a $10,000 schol-

arship to be used at a Georgia HOPE-eligible two or four-year college. “We are pleased with the program’s growth over the past two years,” stated Tricia Chastain, President, Georgia Student Finance Commission. “The program started small with five school systems and 23 Scholars participating in the first two years. With the selection of these additional school systems, REACH will have a total of 42 school systems and over 340 Scholars participating next school year,” added Chastain. “Our goal is to have 2000 REACH Scholars by 2020,” stated Brad Bryant, Executive Director, REACH. “With continued public and private support for REACH Scholarships, we will meet this goal,” added Bryant. The new REACH school systems for the 2015-2016 school year include: Baldwin County, Barrow County, Burke County, Butts County, Carrollton City, Coweta County, Decatur County, Dawson County, Early County, Fannin County, Lamar County, Liberty County, Newton County, Richmond County, Savannah-Chatham County, Sumter County, Taylor County, Wilcox County, and Wilkinson County.

Month-long sidewalk closure projected STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

The City of Covington will continue another section of the City’s major water line improvement project this month, resulting in the temporary closure of a sidewalk along Jackson Highway from Town Branch Court north to Pennington Street. The improvement consists of replacing 1,400 feet of cast iron water pipe with ductile iron pipe, a necessary improvement expected to last 75 to 100 years. The line in need of replacement is approximately 75 years old. To replace the necessary length of water line, 1,300 feet of sidewalk must be demolished and replaced because it is much cheaper to relocate the existing old line from under the road to under the sidewalk. “This will unfortunately be an inconvenience for pedestrian traffic travelling along Jackson Highway,” said City Manager Leigh Anne Knight. “The alternative to closing the sidewalk would be disrupting vehicular traffic with road closures and an increased price tag for the project.” If city officials opted not to demolish the sidewalk to replace the water line, Jackson Highway would have to be ‘open-cut’ resulting in the road closure and $20,000 in additional expenses. “Citizens can anticipate a sidewalk closure date of March 30, 2015,” Knight said. “Our goal is to have the water line replaced and a new sidewalk in place by May 11, 2015 or sooner.” The sidewalk in place is aging and the water line replacement provides city engineers a good opportunity to replace it. “This 1,400 feet of water line is a segment in phase one of a four phase multimillion dollar infrastructure improvement project that we are undertaking to not only increase capacity and reduce water loss but to also provide cleaner water for the citizens,” said Water Department Technician Brian Yoder. “The existing sidewalk had several trip hazards and was uneven in places. This is the perfect opportunity to update the sidewalk and make it safer for citizens.”

Great American Cleanup kicks off in Newton County BY MERIS LUTZ PHOTOS BY DARRELL EVERIDGE

Over 600 volunteers turned out Saturday for the start of the Great American Cleanup, which will continue from March until May. Karen Key of Keep Covington/Newton Beautiful was pleased with the turnout, urging the community to join the fight against litter. “This is totally preventable,” she said of the trash collecting on roadsides across the county. “Your tax dollars are having to pay to clean this up, so you can throw your litter out the window but you’re paying for it one way or the other.” She also expressed gratitude to Mamie’s Kitchen, for providing hundreds of biscuits to hungery volunteers, and Longhorn Steakhouse, for donating space and bottled water. “We appreciate all the volunteers who came out today,” added Laurie Reilly, also of KCNB. KCNB won’t have a final tally of tons of garbage collected until May. Anyone interested in joining future cleanups throughout the spring can call 770-784-2015.

School takeover amendment headed to Georgia voters in 2016 Mike Hopkins, of Covington, Ga., wipes his face as he cries while talking about losing two of his children in the past eight months to complications from their medical conditions at a ceremony where Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signed an executive order requiring state agencies to start preparations now for the enactment of the state’s medical marijuana bill Friday, March 27, 2015, in Atlanta. The bill becomes law when he signs it soon after the current legislative session ends April 2. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, will allow the use of cannabis oil for treatment of certain medial conditions.

Gov. Deal gives cannabis oil green light

ATLANTA (AP) — Gov. Nathan Deal’s plan allowing a state takeover of schools dubbed “chronically failing” won Georgia House approval Wednesday, setting up a statewide vote in 2016 and accomplishing the Republican’s top priority kicking off his second term. Under Deal’s plan, an appointed superintendent accountable to the governor could add up to 20 schools to the district each year and have the power to close, convert them into charter schools, or overhaul management. The district could not include more than 100 schools total. Schools would become eligible if they score below 60 for three years in a row on the state’s index for measuring student performance and growth. Deal’s office estimates nearly 140 schools would be eligible based on recent results. The constitutional amendment and accompanying legislation were last-minute additions to the day’s House calendar.

Both pieces of legislation have passed the state Senate, with the amendment receiving exactly the two-thirds support needed for a constitutional change. The House passed the amendment with one spare vote, 121-47. The enabling legislation, which includes details of how the new district would function, requires Senate agreement after a House committee made some minor changes. It passed the House, 108-53. In a written statement, Deal said he believes voters will support the idea “because they want these children to have a chance in life, they want them to get an education; they want them to have good jobs, support their families and be productive, law-abiding citizens.” Supporters on the House floor largely steered discussion away from details of how the district would work and urged members to let the concept be decided by voters.

CRIME

receiving stolen property; owning, operating or conducting a chop shop, possession of a firearm or knife during commission of or attempt to commit a crime; trafficking in cocaine; illegal drugs, marijuana or methamphetamine; driving without a valid license; no proof of insurance; and knowingly driving a motor vehicle on suspended, canceled or revoked registration. Vickie Foster was charged with possession of a firearm or knife during commission of or attempt to commit crime; owning, operating or conducting a chop shop; theft by receiving stolen property; trafficking in illegal drugs, marijuana or methamphetamine; receipt and possession or transfer of firearm by convicted felon. “It all stems from a traffic stop [that] ballooned into other crimes,” Morrison said. “It goes to show you being proactive with traffic control and traffic enforcement leads to the other activities also.”

Deal signs executive order to prepare for new law MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

Local families living with seizure disorders welcomed Governor Nathan Deal’s executive order this week greenlighting cannabis oil medical treatment in Georgia, but emphasized that they remain committed to in-state growing. Deal signed an executive order this week ordering state agencies to start preparing now for the implementation of Georgia’s new medical marijuana bill. The bill, which Deal has vowed to sign into law as soon as the legislative session ends on April 2, provides immunity for possession of cannabis oil for registered patients and caregivers inside Georgia. However, the original legislation authored by Representative Allen Peake was stripped of its in-state growing mechanism, leaving those who need the medicine in a difficult position. While some cannabis oil manufacturers have expressed willingness to ship their product, transporting cannabis products over state lines remains a federal offense. Covington resident Mike Hopkins, whose daughter, Michala, had to be moved to Colorado to receive cannabis oil treatment for seizures, attended the signing ceremony and called the bill a “great positive step.” “The mood has changed so that’s giving us a lot of hope,” said Hopkins. Hopkins said his daughter is making too much progress on her current regime to be uprooted. He also expressed concern over

the legality of importing her medicine into Georgia and the quality of product available. He seemed optimistic, however, that action on the state or federal level will eventually allow his family to return home to Georgia. The CARERs Act, proposed in the U.S. Senate several weeks ago, would remove a key barrier by effectively making cannabis oil legal on a federal level. Hopkins was confident Deal would consider legalizing in state growing, which was removed from the original bill, once the special commission created by the law released its findings. “I don’t think he’s just talking; I think he’s sincere,” said Hopkins of Deal. “[The job’s] not done and we’ve got to make sure that...everybody follows through on this.” Deal has struck a cautious tone on in-state growing, which affected families maintain is crucial for the law’s long-term success. “There’s a lot riding on the line for people and we want it to work; we don’t want just one measure to say ‘we’ve done something’,” Hopkins concluded. Casandra Bechtol, whose 11-year-old son has been on anti-seizure medication since he was born, also characterized the bill as “a step in the right direction.” “We’ve got to eventually get to in-state cultivate, which is what we want,” she said. The bill recognizes a small handful of conditions for cannabis oil treatment: seizure disorders, cancer, Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, mitochondrial disease, Parkinson’s and sickle cell anemia.

No,” Morrison said describing the quantity of drugs at the residence. “But is it the first time we’ve seen this much? No.” The case is still under investigation, with multiple jurisdictions involved due to the fact that some of the stolen property was from other counties. Steven Foster was charged with theft by

our thoughts Addressing issues Last week we ran on these pages an editorial that encouraged voters not to just vote for a candidate because they had a “D” or a “R” behind their name or to vote for a candidate because of the color of their skin. A person who we respect challenged us on our intentions in that those intentions might have been to address this article to our African American readers. There is nothing that is further from the truth. If we do an editorial it is meant to address an issue that might affect all of our readers. If we wished to direct our comments to any particular members of our community we will do so. And we have. When we offer a comment on our editorial pages it is strictly our opinion we do not expect you to always agree. We write editorials and offer our opinions in order to hopefully generate thought by our readers. If you agree with our thoughts, that’s great and occasionally we hear comments that you do. If you disagree that’s also great, and for sure we hear comments about that too. Our opinions contrary to some of our local politician’s thoughts are not personal, if you agree with our opinion or disagree; you are always welcome to share your own opinion either in person or by letter. We have always been willing to listen to different opinions and occasionally those different opinions have inspired us to change our own. We are human here at your community newspaper. We make judgement mistakes from time to time just as you might. To have a strong community it is essential that there be a strong community newspaper, neither is going to exist without the other. Open honest discussion is important to have in order to ensure we have a free society. We encourage you to share your opinions; we also encourage you to constantly be aggressive in preserving your rights guaranteed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights Our goal is to be here to help you do just that.

letters to the editor Dear Editor, After the handling of the controversial landfill issue and the completion of consideration of zoning matters at last week’s meeting of the Board of Commissioners, Newton County Sheriff Ezell Brown sought permission to address the Board regarding his request for increased funding for his department to enable him to offer a competitive pay scale to his deputies, jailers and other employees. After some confusion regarding the agenda, the Board of Commissioners failed to amend the agenda to allow Sheriff Brown to present his case. I referred to this as confusion to give the Board members the benefit of the doubt. None of us would like to believe that the failure to hear the Sheriff had anything to do with politics. Not when the issue at hand directly affects the ability of the Sheriff to provide for the physical safety of the citizens of Newton County. In the priority of needs and concerns of all people, high on that list is the need to feel secure in one’s person and property. Many would argue that government should have very few functions, but none would deny that chief among those tasks government should assume is the maintenance of order and the enforcement of the laws enacted to protect its citizens. To carry out that police function in our County, we elect a Sheriff and entrust to him the mandate to protect the citizens of our County along with the job of carrying out the processes and orders of our Court system, maintaining our County jail operation and providing security for our public buildings. To carry out those daunting tasks the Sheriff employs a work force which along with the Newton County Fire Services Department makes up the public safety component of our County government. From these police, guards and fire fighters we ask much at great personal peril to them. Yet we have failed to provide a living wage pay scale which provides sufficient compensation to attract and retain the work force to provide the public safety we rightfully demand. As a result we have a revolving door

situation where we recruit our public safety personnel, pay for the state mandated training and certification, provide them with a short period of on the job experience and then watch them move to other police and fire departments with more competitive compensation programs. Thus we carry the recruitment, training, certification and early career on the job training costs at great costs to the taxpayers so that other programs can pick up our best and most promising employees. Sheriff Brown has previously made this argument to the Board of Commissioners and as the time approaches for the finalization of another fiscal year budget, he sought to once again make his case for increased funding that will allow him to carry out his mandate to serve and protect the citizens of Newton County by providing the main tool necessary for the recruitment and retention of the quality employees he needs – a competitive pay scale. The Sheriff, one of four Constitutional officers, is not alone in his urgent call for a plan to address the compensation of County employees. For almost six years now, Newton County has sought to balance its budget shortfalls from the shrinkage of tax receipts which occurred in the Great Recession on the backs of the County employee workforce. Our county workers from all departments have been called upon to endure a seemingly never ending pay freeze, elimination of jobs and the imposition of furlough days. The consequences of this inattention to the plight of our greatest County asset- our professional staff throughout County government – has been the degradation of our employee base by the loss of many of our most capable employees and the disintegration of the morale of those who remain. If the underlying cause is addressed immediately, the effects will linger with us for years to come as we recruit and train new personnel and then wait for them to achieve maximum operational efficiency through experience. The professionalization of our management staff will likewise lag our decision

to recruit, vet and employ managers matched to direct the task to which they are assigned. The Sheriff, the County Manager, the Department heads and the other Constitutional officers are reasonable people and understand that it will take time to reverse course, budget for a sustainable employee work force, appropriate the necessary funds and attract the best people to fill our decimated ranks. However, they also know that the longest journey begins with a single step. That first step is what Sheriff Brown wanted to discuss with the Board of Commissioners. He and all our County employees need to see evidence that the Board understands the peril of continuing down our current path and is ready to deal with this issue with some sense of urgency. Like so many other issues which have reared their ugly heads in a series of contentious meetings during this last year, the instigating factor is simply the refusal of the Board to engage in mutual conversation with the other players regarding the current state of county government prior to the particular issue becoming a crisis. Whether it is the landfill, the procurement of legal services, the 2050 Plan, the development of a realistic water plan or the funding of a competitive compensation package for county employees, citizens expect and are beginning to demand a more inclusive conversation by the Board with the public, the employees and now the Sheriff. Neither the Sheriff nor other county managers should be forced to beg the Board of Commissioners for a spot on their agenda to discuss budgetary needs. The Board should encourage that communication. Once they know the facts, and the facts here are pretty telling, they should work to formulate a plan which does not place our employees, public safety or otherwise, at the very end of the priority list. To do so is to jeopardize the security we all expect County government to provide.

Dear Editor, While I stand with your editorial board against negative campaigns and for informed voting and issues-based candidates , I feel you’ve clumsily missed your own role in promoting what you call “election smearing.” In your March 22 editorial, you write “We also urge voters, who have an even bigger obligation, to take time and first meet the person you are going to vote for and then to make sure you make every effort to under-

stand the candidate’s vision before you pull the lever on voting day.” Yet, your newspaper continues to run “If the election were held today…” polls for county elections not contested until 2016 for which no candidates have yet qualified. You ask readers to choose between the incumbent and “anybody else who runs.” Seriously, does this in any way promote people meeting the candidates and understanding their visions before choosing? No, it

doesn’t. Negative campaigning and smears work because people vote against a candidate more often than they vote for one. And, where might they get that idea? You’re right about the need to change our politics, but you need to show some responsibility and lead by example. Stop these silly polls and focus on the issues.

On

that point, he’s certainly correct. But there’s another reason Spock would never be president. He was always No. 2, and would probably recommend his friend Jim Kirk instead. That choice would horrify today’s political elites. Kirk’s zest for life and disdain for bureaucrats personifies everything about voters that official Washington finds so annoying. Spock sometimes found Kirk troubling, too. They often disagreed, but each had their role to play, and Spock’s was to provide advice while recognizing that Kirk was in charge. Spock also knew that by working together, the combination of his reasoning with Kirk’s passion and courage formed an unbeatable team. That’s an example America’s political class should follow. They are No. 2; the people are in charge. Government in America has a support role to play, not the lead. In his article, Peck highlighted this misunderstanding by writing that “What Spock would have wished for was government that works.” Not likely. Spock would have looked at the bigger picture and recognized that the goal was to have a nation that works.

Three days later, “UVA president Teresa Sullivan suspended all campus fraternities, sororities and Greek organizations,” and the Charlottesville Police Department was brought in to investigate. This week, after five months of investigations, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy J.

Total domination

Takeaways from the Lady Tigers/Tigers season series clinching wins against Newton shakeem holloway

sholloway@covnews.com

s the Lady Tigers continued to prove their dominance on the pitch, the boys solidified themselves as a team to be reckoned with in Region 2-AAAAAA when both teams finished their respective sweeps of Newton on Friday. Here are five notes from the game on Friday. A Payne in Newton’s...behind Alcovy freshman midfielder Baylea Payne was fantastic on Friday. Payne dribbled past defenders with swift hesitation moves, a few of which had defenders facing one direction and Payne racing toward the goal in the other. Although she’s just a freshman, Payne is arguably Alcovy’s best player which she proved with each of her four goals on Friday. “She’s very impressive,” Anna Hebert, Lady Tigers’ head coach, said “Baylea had, clearly, a phenomenal game,” Hebert added. “She got four goals and played anywhere I put her. We were really [short-handed]. We had one sub in the first half until McKenzie [Rowland] got hurt, no subs in the second half so Baylea really stepped up. She was more of a utility player, trying to help the whole team. She did a great job.” Payne played multiple positions, and was impeccable on offense and defense.

She was all over the field and she’s a leader for the Lady Tigers. When she wasn’t scoring, which wasn’t often, she was directing her teammates on where to be and when to make certain runs or cuts. Payne is best at the top but she can play anywhere and Hebert and the Lady Tigers are going to be good for a long time with Payne on the team. More freshmen than seniors Payne is an outstanding player, but fortunately for Alcovy, she’s not the only exceptional freshmen on the roster. Alcovy has the perfect balance of freshmen and upperclassmen. The Lady Tigers have eight freshmen and nine sophomores, juniors and seniors combined. Six of the Lady Tigers’ freshmen started against Alcovy on Friday: Daphne Ramirez (goalkeeper), Anna Smith (midfielder), Kiersten Sullivan (defender), Ryleigh Langford (defender), Sydney Ziglar (forward) and of course Payne (midfielder/ forward). “Sidney Ziglar is very talented,” Hebert said. “I think one thing that sets them (Payne and Ziglar) a part is they’re all pretty selfless. They want to play as a team. I have to encourage them to be selfish and possess the ball,” Hebert added proudly. The Lady Tigers currently have the second-best record in the region and they're only going to get better.

Homegrown: Hoff era at EHS begins shakeem holloway

No. 2 retired Alcovy, Eastside and Newton’s soccer teams all came together Wednesday evening at Sharp Stadium to honor the memory of Carlvon Betts, who passed away two weeks ago in a car accident. Between the boys and girls’ games, Newton Athletic Director Tracey Curtis presented Carlvon’s parents – Carlton and Tracy Betts – with a package that featured some of Betts’s best photos and NHS principal, John Ellenberg, announced that the school would be retiring Betts’s jersey.

he Rick Hurst era of Eastside football has come to an end and a new era has began – the Troy Hoff era. Hoff was announced as the new head coach on Wednesday. He’ll be a familiar face to players and the staff, as Hoff has served as an assistant of some sort on Hurst’s staff for the last 10 of his 14 years at Eastside. Hoff has run the gauntlet of assistant coaching positions before finally taking over as a head coach for the first time in his career. The number of positions Hoff has served in include: special teams coordinator, running backs coach, JV head coach and offensive coordinator, varsity offensive line coach and assistant head coach. The responsibilities of a head coach are endless, especially in high school. Dealing with players, parents and staff can be a daunting task, but it’s one Hoff is ready for. “I can’t tell people just to go see coach Hurst. I can’t pass it off anymore,” Hoff joked. “You realize that now you’re responsible for the players, and the staff,” he added. “They’re problems become your problems. Their concerns are now your concerns. It’s a lot more to be aware of. Not that you don’t have that as an assistant coach, but I think as a head coach I look at it as my responsibility to be aware of all that and obviously it’s my job to take care of it and help when we do have prob-

lems in any of those areas. Whether it be academic, socially, kids got things going on at home, just a lot more.” Hoff echoes the sentiment of caring for players’ on and off the field that Hurst did when he was in charge. Hoff says he wants to hold his players accountable in the classroom, in training, and on and off the field. “I want to be a coach that has high expectations for our young men. As a program that reflects that, I want to be the kind of coach that pushes them to reach their full potential,” Hoff said. “I think if we can do that for our young people in all areas then we’re on to something.” Hoff has an experienced football backgorund. He was a running back in college at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota, before becoming an Assistant Coach there. Hoff says his knowledge of the offense got him his first coaching job with his alma mater. He knew the system well – the protections, the running game and the passing game – and it got him a job as a quarterbacks coach. There he learned a lot from the offensive coordinator. Hoff says it was an eye-opening experience for him, it taught him

It’s alive! Rams’ bats wake up to snap three-game losing streak Javon Dickerson

sports@covnews.com

fter losing their first two Region 2-AAAAAA series against Lakeside and Tucker, it was vital for the Newton Rams baseball team to get a win in game three against Tucker, and not get swept. The sense of urgency was there for the Rams, and with Tucker leaving their game back in DeKalb County, it was a commanding victory for Newton 8-1 against the Tigers. In all actuality it was not a bad week for Newton baseball, though they lost the first two games of the series. Newton lost 4-3 in the first game on March 23, and lost the second one in a nail-bitter at Tucker 2-1 on March 25. In totality, Newton outscored Tucker 12-7 in the entire series. It seems the problem in game three was that Tucker couldn’t hit a left-hander as Newton put center-fielder Mason Calloway on the mound. Calloway had an amazing game though he only had two strikeouts. His pitches were not extremely fast, but they had movement on them and would drop down in the strike-zone leading to a lot of groundouts. He went six innings, and the run that was scored was unearned.

takeaways >> From 1b

Gordon played great despite the 2-1 loss. One of the goals that he “gave up” was an own goal by one of his teammates. Gordon managed to stop an onslaught of shots from Alcovy, especially in the second half. Gordon’s shining moment probably came after he dived and missed a shot from Alcovy’s Camani Smith that hit the post and bounced back into play when Alex Morales went for the goal, but Gordon recovered and stopped the shot. “I wish we could have put a couple in, but their keeper played an excellent second half. He had some nice saves,” Chris Edgar, Alcovy head coach, said. “Our keeper was our JV keeper and we gave up two mistakes,” Noland said. “We didn’t capitalize on some other opportu-

nities so it’s just one of those games.” DEFENSE While Newton’s goalkeeper, Gordon, was great, they’re defensive third wasn’t as impressive as Alcovy’s. “They were solid tonight,” Edgar said. “They kept [Newton’s] speed in check. They kept things in front of them.”

“He [Calloway] pitched a good game,” Newton coach Andre Byrd said. “We pitch very well here at Newton High School; we just have to put the bats together.” The bats were working for Newton on Friday evening as they managed to get 10 hits in the game. Junior Augustus Murray was the star of the game as he went 4-4 and had four RBIs on three singles and a double. Murray and Calloway have started to heat up for Newton after the slow start and are getting consistent with their bats. Also, freshman Parker Kauffman had a good game offensively knocking in two runs on two singles. Newton got started early in the bottom of the first inning. After a Tucker error and a Grant Burroughs single, Murray got his first RBI single of the evening knocking the ball into a gap in left field. With the bases loaded and no outs, Kauffman stepped up and got the first of his two RBI-singles. Newton led 2-0 after one. The second inning was a lot like the first for Newton as three more runs came in. Starting with a walk and Tucker error, Murray came back up again and knocked in two more runs off a single. Then, Kauffman must have felt a little déjà vu because he sent another run in on his second single of the game. From that point on, Newton cruised with a 5-0 lead until giving up a run in the fourth inning, but the Rams had another rally in the

bottom of the sixth inning adding three more runs and sealing the game. “The progress is we hit the ball today,” Byrd explained. “But, I still can’t get over Monday and Wednesday because we actually gave both games away.” Byrd has expressed to his team repeatedly how they have to hit the ball to win games. It sounds a little cliché because all baseball teams need to hit the ball, but Newton has struggled with that all season. Pitching has been the strength of this team, and that is usually the opposite with most baseball teams. With Newton having a young team, the players are used to hitting JV pitching and haven’t adapted to the varsity level just yet. But since region play has started, runs are starting to come in for the Rams. Murray and Calloway have been the catalyst for the Newton bats that are starting to wake up. Senior Joshua Howard has been a huge presence in the last two weeks for Newton. It’s a big series for the Rams next week as they take on cross-town rival Alcovy, who has also struggled in the season so far. Newton (5-9, 2-4) is currently in fourth place in the region, so they’re going to be looking for a series sweep over the Tigers to push back up the standings. Byrd said, “When we play those guys [Alcovy] you can throw the record books out the window.”

Hoff said. Hoff says his experience in so many offensive assistant coaching positions has taught him what can hurt a defense. Despite his offensive proficiency, Hoff says he’s not necessarily an offensive-minded head coach. He describes himself as a team-minded head coach, one that is willing to adjust and knows that is takes defense and offense to win games. “I think you gotta work together,” Hoff said. “One thing I look at, I think you gotta have complementary schemes that can help each other out and at the end of the day just being productive and efficient on both sides of the ball.”

“Our expectations are high with what we think our kids can do. That’s where it starts. Our core of our foundation is gonna be on attitude, effort, character and commitment. That’s our program foundation,” Hoff said. “Everything that we do and the culture that we want to develop and continue to maintain here is going to rest on those four things. After that it’s about competing. These kids need to learn that that’s a life skill. That doesn’t end when they get off the football field. Those four things are going to carry them a long way and being able to compete and go to work for something is going to take them a long way in life.” The Troy Hoff era at Eastside has began.

When Alcovy couldn’t keep Newton’s speed in check or they managed to get behind them, the Tigers recovered and either made a timely tackle/steal or kicked the ball out of bounds to allow the defense to recover and get set. Newton wasn’t able to penetrate and get inside the box much, if any, and that was a credit to the

a great job back there of commanding and they did a good job of listening. And getting the danger out of there,” Edgar said. ] Edgar praised Daniel’s leadership throughout the season and said his unselfishness and versatility are a big reason why Alcovy is 4-4 in region play. “He can play at the next level if he gets that opportunity,” Edgar said.

Tigers’ defensive third. Alcovy’s vocal leader A big reason for Alcovy’s defensive success was senior leader Daniel Mejia. Mejia was very vocal in Friday’s game. He was constantly yelling at his teammates when to get up the field, when to run and where to be. “I think Daniel, he did

“He is a leader. He’s a captain for a reason. He knows the game. He’s played the game for a long time and he’s unselfish,” Edgar said. “Earlier in the year he was up top and as we were struggling I said, ‘Daniel, I gotta have you in the back.” And he did not say anything but, ‘Yes sir.’ He got back there and he was a leader. I’m happy for him.”

Ashton Hagans set the middle school basketball scene on fire this year as he helped lead Clements Middle School to an undefeated season and a county championship. Hagans and his team’s success has earned him Born to Compete Player of the Year honors. Hagans is a 6-foot-2 eighth grade point guard with speed, athleticism and a nasty jumper. He averaged a triple double at Clements. Hagans was one of 11 finalists from around the Metro Atlanta area. The award was voted on online by fans, and Hagans performance was outstanding enough to earn him the vote for the win. In an interview with borntocompete. com Clements head basketball coach said, “Anyone that has seen Ashton play knows that he is a very gifted and talented young player. It was fun coaching him, and I’m glad he was on our team. It would not have been fun playing against him. He made my job easy, because he is a very smart basketball player. You cannot pressure him, because of his ability to handle and pass the basketball. He sees the floor very well and is probably the most unselfish player that I’ve coached. Also, he plays both ends of the floor. You can put him on the other teams’ best offensive player and know that he will make it very difficult for them to score. Finally, he puts the time in to get better. He would always be in the gym after practice working on his ball handling, one-on-one moves, and his jump-

shot. The sky is the limit for him, and I look forward to watching him continue to develop and excel in this game.” “For me it feels like I put in work and worked hard,” Hagans said. Hagans says he set a goal this year to be player of the year, and now that he’s done with middle school, Hagans has his eyes set on Newton High School. “My goals are to be the No. 1 freshman in my class and start on varsity next year,” Hagans said. Clements’ players are zoned for Newton, so their athletes more than likely become Newton athletes. The entire starting five has talent, but Hagans is what makes them tick. “This one particular player is really one of the main reasons why they were so good,” Rick Rasmussen, Newton head coach, said. “He sees the floor extremely well,” Rasmussen added. “He’s also a good defender. He’s very good with his hands. He’s very experienced, but he’s only going to be a freshman. He will be able to contribute on the varsity immediately.” Because of their play during a Christmas tournament and going undefeated, Clements was – at one point – ranked the No. 1 team in the state before finishing ranked No. 2. Hagans has a bright future ahead of him, one that could possibly be worthy of more player of the year awards in the future.

Get control of your allergies Spring is officially here. The flowers, trees, and weather say so. I can remember making all my friends and relatives jealous when I first moved down to Georgia because of the early spring weather. You can gloat a little when you are sitting on your front porch enjoying the sunshine and breeze and everyone in New Jersey is still wearing their long underwear and down coats. It has been a cold and rainy winter HOSANNA so the last week of FLETCHER warm, spring-like COLUMNIST weather was a welcome change. Everyone was happy to see the sun again and to celebrate the early signs of spring. The problem with early spring in Georgia? Allergies. Right now, everyone I know seems to be suffering. In fact, as I write this, my youngest is recovering from a glorious day outside and on the soccer fields with big sister – recovering from itchy eyes, running nose, and post nasal drip. My son’s symptoms are pretty typical of allergies: sneezing, stuffy and runny nose, and itchy and watery eyes. Those that suffer from allergies can gauge the severity of their symptoms based on pollen counts. A pollen count is the measurement of the number of grains of pollen in a cubic meter of air. Pollen counts are given for big categories of specific plants that are the most common allergens such as grass. The pollen counts for trees is very high. Oak, elm, and alder are the current culprits, pushing the pollen count up to 182 in the next few days. Most national and local weather forecasting agencies utilize a pollen index for forecasting pollen. Pollen indexes range in number with the higher the number representing more pollen. A pollen index also takes into account other weather events that might affect pollen counts. By creating an index of low to high levels, allergy sufferers can track what they anticipate to impact their daily lives. Some 35 million Americans suffer from spring allergies. But many of them do so without taking precautions to limit the effect of pollen. Think about it – most of us

have heard someone complain (or maybe we ourselves are the complainers) about the yellow dust on their car but few people go to the effort of washing that dust off every day so that it doesn’t get inside the car, on them, or in their home? We tend to not take allergies seriously if we don’t have serious allergic reactions. Some simple rules to follow if you suffer from allergies may alleviate some (in some cases, unnecessary) suffering. Keep your windows and doors shut at home. Keep your car windows up. Stay inside during mid-day and afternoon hours when pollen counts are highest. Don’t hang clothes out to dry – use a dryer (this is a hard one for me because there is nothing I enjoy more than hanging a load of laundry on the laundry line). Run the air conditioning, which dries the air, but remember to change the filter regularly and, if possible, use a HEPA filter that will filter out much of the pollen from the household air. If you are mowing the lawn or working in the year, wear a mask. Take a shower, wash your hair, and change your clothes after being outside. Some doctors recommend an annual visit to assess and/or reassess allergies. Because there is so much variation in what blooms

when, a person who has never had allergies can seemingly suddenly develop them while a person who has suffered for year can suddenly find relief. And just as your suffering may vary, your response to certain allergy medications may vary. Talk to your doctor about what prescription or over-the-counter option is best for your symptoms. Between the blooming garlic on Floyd Street, the Japanese magnolias, the cherry trees, and the peach trees, we have a beautiful early spring show. If we pay attention to our own symptoms, triggers, and responses this allergy season, we might actually enjoy the springtime instead of wishing it would be over.

Georgia House and Senate announce deal on autism bill ATLANTA (AP) — An autism insurance bill considered dead earlier this week got a new lease on life Thursday when two key legislators from the House and Senate announced a compromise plan they hope will pass before the session ends next week. State Sen. Charlie Bethel, R-Dalton, and Rep. Richard Smith, R-Columbus, said in a joint news conference that they have agreed on a deal that will look a lot like a Senate measure that flew through the chamber in January. Smith, chairman of the House Insurance Committee, told lawmakers Wednesday that requiring businesses to offer autism insurance was “bad policy” and would not receive a floor vote this session. Bethel and Smith, who had been feuding publicly over autism insurance, said the language of Bethel’s bill, SB1, which requires health insurers to cover autism treatments for children up to age 6, will be combed with House Bill 429, a measure dealing with end-of-life insurance coverage for terminal patients. Under the deal, autism insurance would be capped at $30,000 a year, less than the $35,000 proposed in Bethel’s bill. The two announced that a 0.2 percent general sales tax would go to voters in 2016. Then, if approved, the age for eligibility to autism treatments would increase to 18. “We have a serious problem and I think this is the best way for addressing this,” Smith said. Supporters of autism insurance say at least 40 states require the coverage. The lawmakers said that a consolidated bill would be voted out of the Senate Insurance and Labor Committee on Friday and put on the Senate’s calendar for a Tuesday vote. Then if the Senate OKs the measure, the House would have to agree to the changes before it could go to Gov. Nathan Deal for his signature. Autism coverage has been supported by Senate leadership for the past two sessions. Bills stalled in the House. Bethel termed the deal “a big step, a positive step,” achieved only after much work. Smith said he didn’t like the portion of SB 1 that called for coverage of only young children.

Nation’s biggest nuclear firm makes a play for green money RAY HENRY Associated Press

The biggest player in the beleaguered nuclear power industry wants a place alongside solar, wind and hydroelectric power collecting extra money for producing carbon-free electricity. Exelon Corp., operator of the largest fleet of U.S. nuclear plants, says it could have to close three of them if Illinois rejects the company’s pitch to let it recoup more from consumers since the plants do not produce greenhouse gases. Chicago-based Exelon essentially wants to change the rules of the state’s power market as the nuclear industry competes with historically low prices for natural gas. Dominion Resources Inc. recently closed the Kewaunee Power Station in Wisconsin for financial reasons, and Entergy Corp. likewise shuttered its Vermont Yankee plant. Plans for a new wave of U.S. nuclear plants have been delayed or cancelled, aside from three projects deep into construction at Plant Vogtle south of Augusta, Georgia; V.C. Summer Nuclear Station north of Columbia, South Carolina; and Watts Bar Nuclear Plant in eastern Tennessee. Electric utilities in those states do not face competition. Nuclear plants provide about 97 percent of the electricity supply in Exelon’s Midwest market, according to company filings. “We’re not looking for a bailout from market conditions,” said Joseph

Dominguez, executive vice president for governmental and regulatory affairs at Exelon. “We are looking for policy support that every other technology receives in Illinois that produces zero-carbon electricity with the exception of nuclear.” Though it wants financial assistance, Exelon will not release detailed information about the cost of running the three Illinois plants in Quad Cities, Byron and Clinton that company officials say are most at-risk. An analysis by state agencies estimated the cost of producing power at those plants may exceed the payments they get, though they could not be certain. Exelon and other around-the-clock plants sometimes take losses when wind turbines produce too much electricity for the system. Exelon remained profitable overall, making $1.6 billion last year. “If the question is, ‘Are they under economic threat?’ I don’t think there’s any question they are,” said Paul Patterson, a utility analyst for Glenrock Associates LLC, who referred to nuclear plant closures elsewhere as evidence. “Will they shut down? I think it depends at what plant you’re looking at.” The Illinois proposal would reward nuclear plants. Under the system, electric suppliers would have to buy credits from carbon-free energy producers. Exelon says the plan would benefit nuclear plants, hydroelectric dams,

Critics are concerned the rules are so narrowly drawn that the primary winner would be Exelon’s own nuclear fleet. For example, there are limits on the size of participating hydroelectric dams. Clean energy sources built in regulated markets don’t count. Neither do any renewable energy sources that have long-term contracts to sell their power to other buyers. The executive director

Georgia House defeats bill preventing plastic bag bans ATLANTA (AP) — The Georgia House has rejected a bill preventing cities from banning plastic bags. The House’s 67-85 vote on Friday makes the bill’s future uncertain. The Senate approved an earlier version. Officials in several Georgia cities have considered banning plastic bags within their limits, including coastal Tybee Island where supporters argue that sea turtles sometimes mistake them for food. Rep. Tom McCall, who carried the bill in the House, says local bans will create confusion and add costs to businesses while Rep. Trey Kelley criticized supporters as “extreme environmentalists.” Other Republicans who spoke against the bill called it a state overreach. Rep. Scot Turner told members that he wouldn’t want such a ban in his city of Holly Springs but every community should make their own decision. Lockheed to pay $2M to settle allegations it overbilled govt ATLANTA (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Atlanta say Lockheed Martin Corporation has agreed to pay $2 million to settle allegations it overbilled the government for fuel it used while manufacturing planes for the U.S. Air Force. Prosecutors say Lockheed manufactured C-130 aircraft for the Air Force at its Marietta facility between 2006 and 2013. The contracts provided for the government to give the company 22,000 gallons of fuel per aircraft. That could be used for engine runs, fuel operations and test flights. Once Lockheed used that up, Lockheed was responsible for buying any additional fuel. But prosecutors say an investigation revealed that Lockheed routinely used more than 22,000 gallons of fuel but failed to reimburse the government for the excess. Prosecutors say evidence also suggests Lockheed used the fuel for unrelated projects. Employers to seek to fill jobs at northeast Georgia job fair CUMMING, Ga. (AP) — The Georgia Department of Labor expects hundreds of people to turn out for a career fair in Forsyth County. The agency says about 1,000 jobs will be on offer by about 60 employers at the Northeast Georgia Career Expo on Tuesday. The expo is meant to provide opportunities for employers and job seekers in a 13-county area.

The Department of Labor says job seekers should bring plenty of resumes, be ready to talk to employers and to dress appropriately. The expo will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lanier Technical College’s Forsyth Conference Center in Cumming. The job fair is sponsored by the Department of Labor, Lanier Technical College, and the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce. Delta keeps US-Japan route sought by American Airlines FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Delta Air Lines will be allowed to keep a route between the U.S. and Japan that was sought by American Airlines Group Inc. The U.S. Department of Transportation said Friday that Delta could retain the route between Seattle and Haneda International Airport but with more flights. The Dallas Morning News (http://bit. ly/1Cjkp5T ) reports Atlanta-based Delta must fly the route daily and not go long stretches without scheduled service. DOT says Delta would lose the route to Fort Worth-based American if Delta doesn’t meet the requirements. American last October argued DOT should transfer the route because Delta operated just enough flights to avoid triggering a 90-day dormancy ruling. U.S. carriers, under an agreement with Japan, can operate four daily round-trip flights at Haneda. Service is offered by Delta, Hawaiian Airlines and United Airlines. Coast Guard backs off closure of aid station for Ga., Ala. EUFAULA, Ala. (AP) — The Coast Guard has backed off plans to close a station that helps maintain waterways shared by Georgia and Alabama. The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports Adm. Paul Zukunft, commandant of the Coast Guard, wrote to congressman from both states this week that the Aid to Navigation station at Lake Eufaula, Alabama, will remain open for now. The station sits near the Georgia state line and maintains buoys and other navigational needs in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river system. The Coast Guard announced in December it was considering shutting down the station depending on spending levels in the federal budget for fiscal 2015. U.S. Reps. Sanford Bishop, D-Ga., and Martha Roby, R-Ala., intervened as did GOP Sens. Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions of Alabama. However, officials say the reprieve may be temporary.

of the Environmental Law and Policy Center, Howard Learner, said nuclear plants cannot be considered similar to wind and solar energy since they produce radioactive waste. While closing a nuclear plant may eliminate local jobs, subsidizing them prevents investments and job growth elsewhere. “You’re talking about a public financial bailout for a private firm,” Learner said. In good years, “you don’t see Exelon offering to come in and share its prof-

its with the ratepayers.” Exelon’s bet on nuclear power was a winning strategy when natural gas was expensive and a booming economy buoyed consumer demand for electricity. Then new technology allowed drillers to tap into new supplies of natural gas in the United States, producing a glut of fuel and sending gas prices tumbling 63 percent since a peak in 2008. That reversal created a big problem for companies like Exelon that compete to

sell electricity to customers. Prices in competitive markets are set by bidding. Every power plant gets the price paid to the last accepted bidder, which is also the most expensive. Gas-burning plants typically have the highest costs and usually set market prices. When gas prices were high, the bidding system was good for low-cost nuclear plants that could make thick profits. But as the cost of gas tumbled, the profits for the nuclear industry shrank.

IN BLOOM GPC celebrates annual Daffodil Festival MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

Georgia is in bloom, and Georgia Perimeter College is preparing to celebrate spring with a two-day meeting of the minds at its annual Daffodil Festival. The event will feature poetry, theater, and panel discussions, all set among the thousands of daffodils that make the campus unique among Georgia Perimeter College branches. This year, the college will also announce the first recipient of the Daffodil Festival Scholarship to Emily Adkinson. Adkinson will receive $500 to be put towards any academic expense such as books or transportation. According to mathematics professor and former provost Sallie Paschal, one of the founders of the festival, administrators were stunned by all the daffodils when they first toured the site around the year 2000 and later discovered that the flowers were uniquely tied to the history of the place. “In the 1850’s, there were a couple of slave cabins that have since been moved to the confederate memorial in Stone Mountain,” explained Paschal. “Apparently the people who lived in those cabins planted daffodils, and they multiplied over the years.” “After 150 years, there are a few areas that you cannot see from the street or buildings that have thousands of daffodils,” she continued. “We were so in awe of these daffodils that we wanted to do something…to show our campus is special.” The festival will kick off this year on Tuesday, March 31, at 10 a.m. with a performance of Macbeth, a poetry reading and discussion, and a musical performance by the Coyote Bones. At 1 p.m., Aimee Maxwell of the Georgia Innocence Project will host a panel discussion on the criminal justice system and citizen activism. On Wednesday, the festival will focus on the theme of health and wellness with a presentation by GPC psychology professor Diana Fuller titled “Health, Stress and Happiness” at 10 a.m. At 11:30, Georgians for a Healthy Future will host an event about the health risks of obesity. Student leaders will also present their work in the community, including the “It’s On Us” campaign to combat sexual violence. The festival will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days and is open to the public.

“This is one way that we try to expand what we’re doing and welcome the community in,” said Paschal.

I was a self-professed car nut, and I could own any auto I wanted, in my mind. And the mind — unlike the real world — was a great place to own some of these cars: no maintenance schedules, no repair bills, no oil leaks, no insurance. One of the best parts of Road and Track was Peter Egan’s column. Peter knew his cars, but he also knew how to write about the art and love of cars in a way that made him my favorite automotive columnist. Looking back, I can see how he influenced my own writing style, even though I know just enough about cars to sound five feet north of ignorant town. So when I write about cars, I’m probably out of my league. But given current car design theories, I don’t think I’m alone in that condemnation, so here goes my rant. I don’t understand the fascination with giving faces to cars. This will poison your daily drive for sure when

I tell you this, but if you look at most cars today, you’ll see a face. I’m not talking about the road rage face that guy gave you when you didn’t use your turn signal; I’m talking about a face modeled into the car’s body. Look around when you walk through a parking lot. You’ll see cars that look like cartoons. The headlight eyes, the grill nose, the bumper mouth: You’ll see it, and you’ll be unable to stop seeing it. I can’t stop seeing them. The car in front of me is smiling. The car behind me is winking. Every car I see — with few exceptions — has a face, and it’s looking right at me. You would assume that car designers could see the faces in their models. You would think they would want to correct the models so the cars don’t look like cartoon characters. Well, I guess we’re assuming too much. These faces are so obvious and such grand cliches that they can only be intentional. Maybe we’re so used to cartoon characters, anime characters, and bobbleheads that we expect our cars to have faces too. “Oh, look! That car looks like Pikachu! He’s my favorite Pokemon!” Cars with wide, wise eyes; cars with stubby noses; cars with big smiles, just like Bender on Futurama: this is what I see when I’m driving. And it makes me sad. I don’t want a clown car. I definitely don’t want a car that looks like a clown. I have a 1998 BMW that I bought

Where did the tradition of using the first day of April as a time for practical jokes come from? Where did we get the idea of using this day to poke fun at others? April Fools’ Day is one of those unof- B. WILEY STEPHENS COLUMNIST ficial holidays that is very much a part of our culture. There are no resolutions from any level of government. There are no religious bodies calling for the day. But come Wednesday, the day will be observed in a variety of ways by many of us. My “Smart Phone” knew to place it on my calendar just like it was a real holiday. Most of us could remember as children being very cautious on April 1 before we accept anything at face value. Since it is not really an official holiday, its origins in our popular culture is open to debate. The most commonly accepted theory ties the custom of “April Fools” to the changing of the calendar. In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar. It has been named in his honor, the Gregorian Calendar. Other than some adjustment to make the calendar more accurate, one major difference was for the New Year to begin on January 1 as opposed to April 1. Of course as with any change this major, it took a while for some to catch up. Those who still followed the old Julian calendar were considered fools. It was popular to send them on a false errand, making fun of them being on the wrong calendar. One argument against this being the root of our modern But I would April Fools’ Day Is that the day was popular in warn you, if Great Britain decades you set up before the Gregorian another to calendar was officially adopted. One difappear foolish, ference in the way the make sure it is British observe the day in good taste. is that the jokes are This day is limited to the morning only.

It was a feast, as at others.” originating in Northern France, that gave opportunity for “the choir boy to play Bishop and for serious townsfolks to mock the stately ritual of church and court. This feast was later banned by the Council of Basil in 1431. Victor Hugo gave an account of the Feast of Fools in his 1831 novel, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Cox does not propose the Feast of Fools be revived, but rather that we need to relax and be able to laugh at ourselves. April Fools’ Day may not be a feast day, but it could have its roots in this medieval tradition. Maybe, come April 1, we need to relax and be able to laugh. It is a day to stop taking ourselves so seriously. But I would warn you, if you set up another to appear foolish, make sure it is in good taste. This day is not a license for racism, or ageism, or sexism, or what have you. Also you need to be able laugh at yourself as well as at others. The Welch have a proverb, “If every fool wore a crown, we should all be kings.” There is something in all of our lives that we could have a good laugh about. Mark Twain once said, “This is the day that we are reminded what we are the other 364 days.” He added, “Let’s be thankful for the fool; but for him, the rest of us could not exceed.” In the last town we lived in, there was someone who had taken April Fools’ Day to a whole new level. Each year he or she would put up a temporary billboard somewhere in the community that poked fun at a hot button issue in our culture. Each year some office holders or group would the target of a joke. One year it was about a road being closed after that same road had just reopened after a much delayed contraction project. Every year it took a moment for many to realize that it was April Fools. I believe we can be thankful for this brief break in the ordinary that April the First offers. It is a holiday when we don’t have to worry about sending a card or buying a gift. It is a time just to relax and enjoy our families and friends. But remember to keep it in good fun and the person one must be prepared to laugh at first is oneself.

back in the day. It was the entry level model, the bottom of the barrel. Its name is Lazarus. Lazarus was dead for a while and feared lost to the recyclers, but my mechanic brought him back to life, and I’ve scrubbed him up and made him into a beauty. But even Lazarus has a face — a bucktoothed sort of pig-snout face. I don’t like to think of Lazarus with a face. I feel silly enough giving him a name. I suppose it’s a blessing that I hardly notice Lazarus’s face since I’m usually in the driver’s seat, sitting behind his smile. So it’s not so bad. I’ll keep Lazarus until he finally goes on up to car heaven, and then I’ll search for a replacement — one that doesn’t look like a Pokemon or a bobblehead or a Saturday morning cartoon. And I’ll pray that this fascination with faces doesn’t extend to washing machines, refrigerators and espresso machines. If it does, I’ll start making some faces of my own, and they won’t be very friendly.

OUR BOYS ARE COMING HOME

Earl Thomas Shaffer, Sr

James Cofer

George E Mcmullen, III

James Terry Savage

welve heroes from Newton County and 11 of their brothers from Rockdale County are coming home. Befitting the 40th Anniversary of the ending of the Vietnam War, the Vietnam Moving Wall will be on display in May at the Walk of Heroes War Memorial. And thanks to one man — Bud Sosebee — our heroes will have a noble venue for their homecoming.

Sosebee is the most recognized veteran in Rockdale County. Folks may not have known his name, but untold thousands have seen Bud in his World War II uniform at various events. Always smiling, always welcoming. Bud’s easygoing disposition was sorely tested when he witnessed the treatment Vietnam veterans received when they returned home from an unpopular PETE MECCA war. He decided to do something COLUMNIST about it. His vision was to honor Vietnam veterans by honoring all veterans with the Walk of Heroes War Memorial. The memorial is his baby, his vision, and now, because of this great man and patriot, we all have a memorial to be proud of, a place to honor the brave, a place to show our respect for the fallen. Before honoring our returning heroes, a brief explanation concerning research is apropos. The internet Virtual Wall offers a ‘full profile’ on every veteran on The Wall in Washington, D.C., yet that information is basic and offers little about the human being behind the name. A few veterans have longer profiles including comments by loved ones and/or a brother from Southeast Asia. Further research indicated that the war memorial on Covington Square in Newton County and the one in front of the Rockdale County Courthouse may both be missing one veterans’ name according to the Georgia Registry. This is not unusual nor due to negligence. Veterans may have moved, been recognized elsewhere, or given their point of entry into the military as their home town. Photos are limited. The names of two veterans appear on both monuments. I respectfully offer the following tributes. NEWTON COUNTY James Terrell Cofer — US Army, helicopter repairer, Specialist Five. Spec five Cofer died in a helicopter crash in Pleiku Province on May 18, 1969. He was 21 years old.

Robert Wayne Hamlin —US Army, 82nd Airborne, Sergeant. Sgt. Hamlin died from enemy small arms fire near Hua Nghia on February 5, 1969. He was 20 years old. A note from the Virtual Wall: “I remember you being a quiet easy-going person. I looked at the signatures in the book at Danny McGee’s funeral and there

was your name where you paid your respects for a fallen brother. Months later you lost your life in Nam also. I know you did your best and I thank you. You are missed still and will always be missed.

Your laughter, your kindness, and love of life were not taken in the jungles of Vietnam. Those who love you have not allowed that to happen. You live on in our hearts and minds. You left behind a mother, father, sister, three half-sisters, and a fiancé. When you went away you had plans like the rest of us grunts. All we wanted was to do our jobs, come home to our white houses on our tree-lined streets, and take up where we left off. Who would have known the hand of fate would take you and leave me? Perhaps heaven needed you. Those of us who came home were forever changed. The houses were not as white, and the trees didn’t look the same. Taking up where we left off was not an option. Sometimes, I thought you were the lucky one. I guess heaven will need me eventually, and when it does, we will meet again and talk of old times (I hope heaven has footballs). One day, both of us, along with Galen, will stand at the gate and pull duty together, welcoming our brethren into the fold. Semper Fi.” Thomas Ronnie Range, Jr. (not on the Rockdale Monument) —US Marine Corps, antitank assault man, Private First Class. Pfc. Range lost his life in Quang Nam Province on September 17, 1968 from enemy small arms fire. He was 19 years old. James Earl Skipper —US Army, infantryman, specialist four.

Telling your story … “Jesus began to teach beside the lake again. Such a large crowd gathered that he climbed into a boat there on the lake. He sat in the boat while the whole crowd was nearby on the shore. He said many things to them in parables.” —Mark 4.1-2 (CEB)

Beside the Sea of Galilee and up from Tiberias lies the Kibbutz Ginosar. A kibbutz is an area in Israel rich in farmland and vegetation. Kibbutz communities rely on agriculture for their income, and much of the area’s fruits and vegetables come from these communities. The Kibbutz Ginosar is also known as the place for the JAN MCCOY “resurrection” of a 2000 year COLUMNIST old fishing vessel which dates back to the first century. Known as the “Jesus boat,” this boat was probably in use for many decades on the Sea of Galilee, and was the kind of boat that Jesus and his disciples may have crossed the sea in many times. Visitors can see this remarkable boat on display, read about the detailed process of recovering this boat from its place in the mud of the receded sea, and grab a cup of coffee in the little shop at the museum. As we entered the museum and saw a film about the discovery of this boat, I wondered if this was the very boat that maybe Jesus and his disciples were sitting in when the storm arose one day on the sea. Or maybe if this was the boat that Jesus used as a pulpit to preach and teach from as the crowds gathered around the shoreline. Or, possibly, this was the boat that Jesus walked up to in the middle of the night, the same boat that Peter climbed out

Easter is on the way, and practicing Christians across the globe have spent the Lenten season preparing for the day when they celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Lent is a season best spent in the company of close friends and family, and the following are a few ways for Christians to celebrate their faith in the weeks leading up to Easter Sunday.

· Give Easter eggs a different meaning. Easter eggs are popular among youngsters, and that popularity can be used to teach kids about their faith. Eggs are frequently viewed as a symbol of new life, so parents can use them to show their children how Christ died and was born anew. Eggs can be filled with small items that symbolize something related to Christ’s story. Or they can be left empty to represent the empty tomb after His resurrection.

· Eat food that conveys Biblical stories. For Easter dinner, enjoy foods that are mentioned in the Bible. A fish dinner can convey the story of how Jesus multiplied fish to feed the crowds, or dine on lamb and share the story of Passover. · Participate in church services. Throughout Lent, many parishes offer Easter vigils or specialized services that relate the account of Jesus’ life and subsequent death on the cross. Some churches may recreate realistic stations of the Cross. Employing pageantry to bring biblical stories to life can help young children visualize and better understand the meaning of Easter. · Create a Christ-centered Easter basket. Parents can still fill kids’ Easter baskets with some of the familiar confectionary treats, but those parents who impart lessons about their faith to their kids also can include books about the story of Easter, rosary beads, a crucifix for a child’s room, and maybe a children’s Bible. · Make time for volunteer work. Many families reserve volunteerism for the Christmas season, but Easter also marks a great time to volunteer. In a season that focuses on the ultimate sacrifice, families can open their hearts to others. Invite someone over for Easter dinner who has nowhere to go. Share your holiday celebrations with a person of another faith so that he or she may be able to see what makes this time of year special. Create a service jar filled with small, loving tasks everyone in the family can do each day. The Lenten season, including Easter, is the most celebrated time of the year for Christians. Families can enjoy the festivities by blending many different traditions together and by focusing on the spirituality of the season.

What is God seeing when he looks at you

of to walk on the sea, the same boat that held the other 11 disciples who wanted to remain in the safe shelter of their comfortable faith. If this boat could talk, I wonder what stories it would tell us about Jesus calling his friends “ye of little faith”, or exactly how many fish were in the Resurrection Catch of the Day when the risen Jesus made breakfast on the beach for his friends. Each of us has a story to tell. The disciples told their stories of Jesus in letters, sermons and stories handed down through the centuries, and they are interesting and fun to read. Just like the boat and the disciples, we each have a story to tell, and if we consider ourselves Christians, we each have a story to tell of our experience of knowing and following Jesus. We pass our stories down from one person to another, from one generation to another, just like the followers of Jesus did in the first century, and just like the history represented in this 2000 year old boat. Sometimes our stories are told with words, and sometimes with just how we live our lives. The story of this boat survives in its rich history. Our stories survive in the hearts and minds of people we know and love. How are you telling your faith story so that others may be encouraged in their own faith journeys?

Just a Thought: Are you ceremonial or spiritual? OK, Ok; what I mean is: What do you really give the most attention to? Not what do you wish you did, but what do you really do? Going to church on Sunday: Check! (Well, mostly). Wearing the right church clothes: Check! Putting on the all-is-well smile: Check! Carry your Bible: Check! (well, sometimes). Appear Christian–like: Check! Talk spiritual lingo: Check! Let everyone know you’re spiritually all together (at least on the outside): Check! Be friendly like you really like the people and want to be there (at least until noon): Check! Keep your reputation intact: Check! Wait a minute! Aren’t these good things? Not to God. In fact, if these are the important things to you, then that makes you ceremonial, but not spiritual. The listed were the important things to the Pharisees of Jesus day (and ours) but not to God, who looks into the heart. God wants a relationship based on honesty, intimacy and integrity, and He is not fooled at all by our ceremony. “Then the Lord said to him, ‘Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.’ You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?” (Luke 11:39-40). Just like when you get a dish or a glass to use, you check the inside as well as the outside – God does the same when He inspects us — He looks from the inside out. What is He seeing when He looks in you? Dr. William Burnham is pastor of Point of Grace Church in Covington. He can be reached at burnhamw@charter.net.

B FAMILY FEATURES

righten up your Easter feast with unique flavor twists to refresh traditional dishes like ham and deviled eggs. And don’t forget the decorations — it’s easy to create vibrant centerpieces using eggs dyed in the hottest seasonal shades. “We’ve developed easy tips to dress up your table, from the ham to the centerpiece,” said Mary Beth Harrington of the McCormick Kitchens. “An orange glaze can bring new flavor to the classic ham, while food color can be used to make a variety of spring-inspired egg dyes to feature in Easter table décor.” For more Easter dinner recipes and egg dyeing ideas, check out www.McCormick.com and visit McCormick Spice on Facebook and Pinterest.

Orange Glazed Ham

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 1 hour 45 minutes Servings: 24 1 bone-in spiral-cut ham, about 10 pounds 1 cup orange marmalade 1 teaspoon McCormick Mustard, ground 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Garlic Powder 1/4 teaspoon McCormick Black Pepper, Ground 1/4 teaspoon McCormick Cloves, Ground Preheat oven to 325°F. Place ham on side in roasting pan. Mix marmalade and spices in small bowl until well blended. Brush 1/2 marmalade mixture over ham, gently separating slices so mixture can reach middle of ham. Cover loosely with foil. Bake 1 hour, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Remove foil. Brush with remaining marmalade mixture. Bake 45 minutes longer. Serve ham with pan drippings. Tip: Pair spices like ginger or chipotle with fruity jams and preserves to balance out saltiness of ham. Cherry Bourbon, Apricot Pineapple Chipotle or Lemon Ginger are easy flavor combinations your guests will love, and are all available on McCormick.com. Use food color to create custom egg dyes you won’t find in a kit. Visit McCormick. com for seasonal color combinations inspired by the Pantone Spring “Fashion Color Report” as well as simple directions to create an egg-cellent floral centerpiece.

Smoky Deviled Eggs

Prep time: 10 minutes Servings: 6 6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Mustard, Ground 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Paprika, Smoked 1/4 teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt 2 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks; place in small bowl. Mash yolks with fork or potato masher. Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, smoked paprika and seasoned salt until smooth and creamy. Spoon or pipe yolk mixture into egg white halves. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Refrigerate 1 hour or until ready to serve. Tip: Deviled eggs are a snap to customize once you create the base of egg yolks, mayonnaise and ground mustard. Try adding chili powder, red pepper and cumin for a Southwest variation or dill weed and parsley for a Dill Mustard version.

Easy Lemon Daisy Cupcakes

Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes Servings: 18 1 package (2-layer size) white cake mix 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons McCormick Pure Lemon Extract, divided 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened 2 tablespoons sour cream 1 package (16 ounces) confectioners’ sugar 10 drops McCormick Yellow Food Color 18 large marshmallows Decorating sugar Jelly beans Green sprinkles Prepare cake mix as directed on package, adding 1 tablespoon of lemon extract. Spoon into 18 paper-lined muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full. Bake as directed for cupcakes. Cool cupcakes on wire rack. For frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, sour cream and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon extract in large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Stir in food color until evenly tinted. Frost cooled cupcakes. To decorate cupcakes, cut each marshmallow crosswise into 5 slices. Sprinkle 1 side of each marshmallow slice with decorating sugar. Arrange 5 marshmallow petals on top of each cupcake to resemble daisy, pressing marshmallows into frosting. Place jelly beans in center of petals. Garnish with sprinkles.
