Newton Co. legal fees spiral out of control MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

A new proposal to cap county attorney fees at $800,000 could help bring the county’s legal spending within the upper range of other Georgia counties, but it would also be a significant budget increase at a time of severe financial constraints is already facing pushback from critics.

The proposal follows months of public anger over the county’s legal spending, which is at 139 percent of budget for the General Fund and See 5A for a 508 percent for the C N breakdown Solid Waste Fund, surrounding three-quarters of counties' the way through legal costs the fiscal year.

At its current rate, Newton County is on track to spend as much on legal services as Chatham County, which has well more than double the population and includes the city of Savannah.

Newton County’s per capita legal spending is between two and seven times that of neighboring counties Rockdale, Henry and Walton. The only county the comes close to Newton County’s per capita legal spending is Macon-Bibb, which has six full time legal employees.

Budget discussion heats up for BOC MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

Newton County faces some tough decisions for next year’s budget with the Sheriff seeking a $6.2 million increase and county employees impatient for raises.

The Board of Commissioners discussed the need to double down on fiscal responsibility Thursday night after they heard from the heads of several departments and discussed the contentious issues of legal spending and the convenience centers.

Among Sheriff Ezell Brown’s requests were $6.8 million for law enforcement sala-

Form of Government Committee grapples with structure, accountability

Extent of chemical contamination at SRG Global plant unknown

“You’ve got to have your chair and county manager establish a relationship from the very beginning and it has got to be positive,” advised Ronnie Cowan, committee chair and human resources director for the City of Covington.

The committee also agreed that the county manager should have the authority to hire and fire employees without interference from the board, and set the agenda with oversight from the chair. The manager would be responsible for the daily administration of all departments, including roads and bridges. The committee is also considering giving the chair a veto power, not to be used in the appointment of the county manager.

The committee discussed implementing a rule that the agenda would have to be set and published more than a day in advance, possibly up to a week.

The committee closed by reiterating their concerns regarding the balance of powers between the board, the chair, and the manager, and agreed to continue to explore the two government structure options suggested by the ACCG and the board.

The Board of Commissioners is preparing to vote on whether to allow SRG Global to carry out testing around its Covington plant to determine the extent of chemical contamination after a 2013 test revealed trichloroethylene (TCE) in the groundwater.

The plant is located on Industrial Boulevard, not far from a creek which Commissioner J.C. Henderson has said feeds the county’s reservoir. SRG is also negotiating with private landowners to test surface water of the nearby creek.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, prolonged exposure to TCE in drinking water can cause liver problems and possibly increased risk of cancer. “[The Environmental Protection Division] was notified very early on,” said Mike Decker, global director of environment, health and safety at SRG Global. “We’ve been coordinating those efforts and working very closely with them.”

Decker added that the EPD has approved the company’s correction action plan, which includes installing a barrier on the property line to prevent chemicals from migrating off site. He said that prior to 2013, only limited groundwater testing had been performed.

Decker did not provide specific data on the chemical concentration found in the groundwater.

“We’ve found chemicals in the groundwater above allowable levels for drinking water, and these levels warrant action, but not alarm,” Decker said. “It’s important to note that residents don’t drink the groundwater, they are serviced by city water, which comes from a different source.”

Approval of the monitoring wells on county right-of-way was tabled at the April 21 BOC meeting.

Decker said that the company is working to schedule a meeting with Henderson and Chairman Keith Ellis to discuss the matter.

“Obviously the sooner we understand the situation the sooner we can initiate appropriate actions,” Decker said.

SRG is one of the largest manufacturers of automotive trim products. The plant, formerly known as Covington Molding, was acquired

by Guardian Automotive in the early nineties, and later became part of Guardian subsidiary SRG Global.

The citizen committee reviewing Newton County’s form of government is closing in on a final draft report as it continues to wrestle with fundamental questions of structure and accountability.

The most pressing conundrum remains whether or not the county manager should report to the chair or to the entire board. Most of the committee appeared to agree Monday that the best option would be for the county manager to report only to the chair.

“There’s no easy way to hire a manager and have him answer to six people instead of one,” said committee member Buddy Morgan.

The committee also formulated a process for hiring a county manager during its meeting Monday night, recommending that a third party, possibly the Association County Commissioners of Georgia, review candidates to narrow down the pool. This third party would then submit the list to the county chair, who would rank them and submit them to the board for a 3-2 majority vote.

Repairs being made to Porterdale City Hall in wake of termite infestation SANDRA BRANDS news@covnews.com

There’s nothing a termite likes more than a damp, dark place.

So, because there was a hidden leak in the roof of Porterdale’s City Hall building on Main Street, the cellulose-eating insects considered it an invitation to set up house.

The leak, said Bob Thomson, Porterdale City Manager, was in the flashing along the northeast corner of the roof. Even though the property had been treated against termites, the leak created a perfect habitat for insects, which did significant damage to that corner of the building.

The leak has since been fixed, and a small section of wall in the northeast cor-

ner has been stripped down to bricks as the public works department makes repairs to the structure.

“The repair should cost less than $350 because it’s being done in house,” said Bob Thomson, Porterdale City Manager.

Once the repair is completed, Thomson said, “we’re going to have [the building] retreated and put an exterminator on contract.”

He said he expects the project to take about a week to complete.

According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause billions of dollars worth of damage in the United States.

Georgia is in the “termite belt,” with high probability of termite infestations in manmade structures.

A BREAKDOWN OF LEGAL SPENDING IN SURROUNDING COUNTIES

>> FROM FRONT PAGE

The capped proposal, which was negotiated between Commissioners Levie Maddox, John Douglas and Chairman Keith Ellis with an agreement from County Attorney Tommy Craig, does not include external counsel. It is unknown whether it includes special projects such as the proposed Bear Creek Reservoir, for which Craig acts as project manager and liaison to the Army Corps of Engineers.

Craig has billed the county more than $867,000 to date, according to the most recent approved check registry. The county has also spent more than $27,000 on external legal services.

Commissioners engaged in a heated discussion over legal spending at Thursday night’s budget meeting, with Commissioners Nancy Schulz and Lanier Sims taking the board to task for failing to make good on its vows to publicly discuss the issue, first at the county retreat, which was cancelled, and later at the budget hearings. The proposal’s proponents have defended it as a step in the right direction.

Even if the county’s legal spending was capped at $800,000, it would still be high compared to its neighbors, according to a comparative study prepared by The News.

The following chart was compiled using numbers provided by other Georgia counties through open records requests for all legal services spending, including county or staff attorneys, external counsel and special projects. Population data was based on 2013 census data, while per capita legal spending was calculated using 2014 fiscal year (FY14) expenditures.

Newton County was not able to provide FY14 expenditures. Therefore, the upper and lower ranger of per capita legal spending was calculated based on year to date (YTD) legal expenditure for FY15 ($717,216 so far, including General Fund and Solid Waste) and a projected expenditure report prepared by Tom West, a retired accountant and citizen member of the purchasing policy committee ($1,200,000).

He also asked for $210,000 for repairs and maintenance of vehicles; $163,000 for public works repairs; $285,000 for uniforms; and $1,272,324 for new vehicle purchases.

For the jail, Brown requested $4 million for salary, including 10 new hires; $2.1 million for inmate medical services; and $326,000 for building renovations.

Brown also requested funds for body cameras, telling Commissioner John Douglas in response to a question, “In light of what’s going on in the world with police departments, I think any kind of on person eyewitness piece of equipment is ideal.”

The commissioners also heard from James Peters, who manages the county landfill, and discussed the Solid Waste Fund, which receives a $1.6 million annual transfer out of the General Fund to break even.

Commissioner Nancy Schulz pointed out that a

After the commissioners had heard from all the scheduled department heads, Schulz reminded the board that they had agreed to discuss the county’s legal fees and seek input from County Manager Tom Garrett on the issue.

“It was said we would discuss it at the budget meeting and we just keep kicking that can down the road,” Schulz said. “When it gets really uncomfortable, we just avoid it.”

According to the latest financial report, the county is at 139 percent of its legal budget for the General Fund and more than 500 percent of legal budget for the Solid Waste Fund.

Ellis responded, accusing Schulz of “harping” on the issue.

“We have made some strides…I know you are not happy with the agreement we reached,” Ellis told Schulz, referring to a proposal reached by himself, Commissioner Levie Maddox, Commissioner Douglas and County Attorney Tommy Craig to cap Craig’s legal fees at $800,000, nearly twice the

We’re not even taking baby steps to break even,” he said.

Peters suggested the county revisit its 10-year solid waste plan and consider allowing the waste collectors with whom it already has contracts to bring in some waste from surrounding counties to make up the revenue.

Commissioners also heard from the Coroner and Public Works, with both departments requesting slight increases. The Fire Department submitted a proposal for a $63,000 increase, the department’s first since 2012. Jason Nord, the water resources director, said he did not foresee an increase in the price the county charges its whole-

FY15 legal budget: $1,448,800 FY15 YTD legal expenditure: $1,045,001.77 Per capita legal spending: $8.66

current legal budget.

Sims stepped in, calling Ellis’ words “disrespectful.”

“I think that’s disrespectful not only to the commissioner but to the citizens who have asked us to look into this,” he said.

Douglas emphasized that the arrangement with Craig, which did not include Henderson, Sims, or Schulz, was only a proposal that would be voted on by the entire commission.

“We just did not go

through the process where we got up and told the citizens what we’re going to do,” Sims countered.

Maddox pointed out that in his view, it was unfair to focus on the county attorney when the sheriff was requesting a $6 million increase after consistently running over budget.

The board appeared to come to a consensus that all departments and constitutional officers needed to stay within their budgets,

while Garrett agreed to give an “overview” of how, in his opinion, the county could control legal spending.

Schulz ended the meeting by expressing appreciation for the work of Garrett and Finance Director Michelle Kelly, who have prepared and posted the financial report and check registry to the county website since the beginning of the year.

“We didn’t have data in a usable form and now we do,” Schulz said.

our thoughts Rotary Day For 76 years a local civic group has been involved, through its monies and volunteerism, in almost every worthwhile project that has helped Covington and Newton County become the great place that it is to raise a family.

One of the Rotary Club of Covington’s major fundraising projects came to fruition just this past week in the Miracle League Field, which truly is a miracle. It would not have been built by now without their help.

For 67 years the local club has made sure that thousands of children throughout our community have had a good Christmas when otherwise they would not have.

The Rotary club has provided thousands of dollars in scholarships; the local Y owes its existence to past Rotarians.

The local club has also joined with other Rotary clubs throughout the world among other worthy projects to control Polio and to help support Alzheimer’s research.

Rotarians worldwide also contributed to helping earthquake victims in Napal through Rotary International’s Shelter Box program.

The Covington Rotarians next week will begin their annual Vidalia onion drive to support these worthwhile projects.

If you don’t have a favorite Rotarian to place your order with feel free to contact our Rotarian editor Bryan Fazio at 770-787-6397 he will make sure you get your onions.

The cost is only $20 for a 25 pound bag, the money you spend we are sure will be given back tenfold in our community.

This Tuesday is being celebrated as Rotary Day in Covington, and Rotarians will be on the Square throughout the day. Please stop by if you can tell those thanks, join their ranks or if you’re a past member stop by and see that your past volunteerism is still paying off.

We salute every Rotarian past and present, without your volunteerism our community just wouldn’t be the same.

OPINION letters to the editor

Let’s seize the opportunity Dear editor, Let’s seize the opportunity We all learned recently that Tom Garrett would be resigning as County Manager after a short eight months on the job. Tom is a capable young man educated in public administration and evidencing the personal character of one committed to a life of public service. Unfortunately Tom was thrust into the job at a time when there was a lack of clarity in the lines of authority in our county government with little opportunity to be mentored by someone with experience in managing the business of government in a political setting.

This result was unfortunate for both Tom and Newton County, but as the old adage notes, when God closes one door he opens another. This was true for Tom who will be Director of Public Works for Barrow County, and it is true for Newton County which now has an opportunity to bring in the right county manager to fit the time and circumstance in which Newton County now finds itself.

In response to an accurate evaluation of what citizens told the Board of Commissioners in a recent public hearing on the form of government for Newton County, the Board returned to the chairman the powers his job included until the 2011 coup in which the powers of Chairperson Kathy Morgan were diminished and the 2014 further stripping of the Chairman’s powers by the current Board.

As the Board embarks on naming a new county manager it would make a lot of sense to create a job description of precisely what functions and responsibilities that person will be expected to render the county. The Board, in conjunction with the granting back to the Chairman the powers that job had

under the enabling legislation, also appointed a citizens committee to make recommendations for a restatement of the form of government under which our County government will operate after the 2016 election.

Consequently, the job description for the job of county manager might be significantly different in 2017 than today, so it is generally thought that the county manager selected would be named to serve until after the next election when the newly elected Board of Commissioners would revisit the job of chief administrator of the county with whatever job description would be appropriate at that time.

The next 20 months are going to be some of the most impactful times, however, in the county’s history. Difficult and contentious issues which must be addressed include solid waste collection and the landfill, the decision on how to proceed on a reservoir mired in controversy and regulatory problems, the specifics of the form of government the county will operate under and how the county will purchase professional services.

With few good answers and a budget shortfall which will be difficult to tame, we must also deal with the normal matters of operational governance which all local governments face daily.

These challenges call for a county manager who has the education, experience and characteristics necessary to operate in a highly charged political setting to manage the operations and finances of our county government.

His stewardship of the day to day functioning of government is absolutely critical to free the Chairman and the Board to address the complex issues they must deal with immediately.

That means we need a professional administrator with a background in both operations and finance. It is no time to bring in a political person without operational experience or education to handle these challenges.

Consider what kind of administrator private industry would hire to manage a business with hundreds of employees and a budget of over fifty million dollars. It would certainly be a professional manager.

We cannot afford a caretaker or seat filler. Political party affiliation, personal friendship and common political philosophy cannot form the basis of the decision. We cannot afford a good old boy to just hold the seat for the next year and a half. While the person ultimately appointed may only serve for 20 months, it will undoubtedly be the most crucial 20 months our county government has faced in the memory of most of us.

Names that come to mind as illustrative of the characteristics we should be looking for include Steve Horton, retired Covington City Manager, or Brian Allen, retired Gwinnett County transportation administrator, because they are professional administrators and not political operatives.

Newton County faces a number of challenges and has a great opportunity to choose someone to help us meet those challenges as the professional administrator we so desperately need.

We, as citizens, must make our Board of Commissioners understand that this is no time to make a political appointment to maintain the status quo.

They must seize the opportunity and not squander it for the sake of politics.

That is what leadership and common sense demand.

Phil Johnson

Commissioners address a symptom and not the illness with Craig agreement over legal fee cap Dear editor, On Wednesday night, three members of the Newton County Board of Commissioners announced a deal they had struck with the County Attorney to cap his legal fees at $800,000 per year. This cap on fees starts at the beginning of the 2016 fiscal year: July 2015.

This announcement comes as pressure continues to mount for the BOC to rein in the accelerating legal fees being charged by the Craig law firm which are projected to top $1.2 Million this fiscal year. The continued challenges of Mr. Craig as county attorney, however, stem not only from the amount of the legal fees paid to his firm, but from concerns about the conflicts of interest, questionable judgement and what appears to be a misrepresentation of facts surrounding the Bear Creek Reservoir application being considered by the Army Corps of Engineers.

Mr. Craig, Newton County Attorney for over 38 years, has been confronted in recent months at public meetings by citizens demanding an explanation for why legal fees charged by his firm far exceed those paid by counties of similar size and by those of surrounding counties. He has been the subject of an expose by Atlanta’s 11 Alive News questioning his many roles. These varying roles create clear conflicts of interest when he functions both as county attorney and water consultant, and as such recommends engineers he partners with on other water projects, approves their contracts with Newton County and oversees their work. Additional public and media concerns have been expressed about the millions he owes in federal taxes, and the propriety of his continuing to represent our county under those circumstances.

Recently, Mr. Craig led a delega-

tion of Newton County officials to meet with the Corps of Engineers in Savannah for an update on the status of the 404 permit. The 404 permit is required by the Corps for Newton County to commence construction of the Bear Creek Reservoir after nearly 17 years and over $21 Million of expense to Newton County taxpayers. A memorandum of the meeting released as a result of a Freedom of Information Request suggest a skeptical Corp of Engineers interrogating Mr. Craig about the questionable justification for Bear Creek and the failure of Mr. Craig to provide several studies dealing with the current and anticipated water demands of the county. Almost beyond belief was Mr. Craig’s explanation that one study he had commissioned was only in draft form and the others sought by the Corps were prepared by incompetent consultants. These were the same consultants chosen by Mr. Craig to do at least two of those studies.

Also atop the news is the controversial proposal to privatize the Newton County landfill which suddenly came to light after the Athens law firm, whose senior partner happens to be the brother in law of Mr. Craig, lost an appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court to prevent a private landfill from locating on a tract of adjacent property to the Newton County landfill. The owner of the site seeking the zoning certification to allow it to operate a private landfill is a former business partner of Henry Lassiter who Mr. Craig had represented over the years in various matters. The Lease and Operating Agreement for Greenhill P3 to take over the current county owned and operated landfill was negotiated by an attorney selected by Mr. Craig, but who was, according to his own statement, representing both Greenhill and Newton County.

The list of questionable and selfserving actions by Mr. Craig appears never ending. Mr. Craig continues to not only insert himself in legal issues, but policy and political issues as well.

Further, it appears that he has cultivated a culture of dependence by BOC members, which demands his involvement in every decision of the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Craig has become so entrenched that it is no wonder that Commissioner Maddox cited as important that the cap agreement on fees” maintains continuity and consistency for the county in terms of its legal counsel.”

We are thankful that there will be at least an $800K limit to the outof-control legal spending of Newton County, but make no mistake the County was no winner in this agreement with Mr. Craig. When compared with the legal budgets of similar sized counties, that range of fees is still exorbitant. More problematic than the costs incurred for legal services is how Mr. Craig’s continued representation impacts the reputation and integrity of Newton County.

Three commissioners may feel that this plan can calm the boiling water of public dissatisfaction over Mr. Craig, but they have again misjudged the people of Newton County. This public relations ploy was prematurely announced to the press prior to being vetted by all of the Commissioners and can only be seen as an attempt to distract the public from the real issues.

We must ask is this an attempt by Mr. Craig to shift the focus from the real issues facing Newton County? And is he being aided in his actions by three commissioners willing to be pawns in this continuing power play?

Sincerely, Wesley Dowdy Covington, GA

OPINION

The Covington News

Sunday, May 3, 2015 Page 7A

From the Mayor: I’m here to burst your bubble.

Dear City of Covington Residents, I will be the first to admit how easy it can be to become comfortable in your daily life and decide to ‘put it on auto-pilot.’ If we are being honest, we can admit we have all done it. Maybe we don’t follow the exercise routine we originally set out to. Maybe we get tired of putting effort into cooking healthy meals for dinner and go for the easy route of eating out all the time or getting carry out. My point is it’s easy to grow comfortable with daily routines.

It takes effort and energy to challenge our minds and bodies, but that challenge is what makes us better people, both mentally and physically.

The same thought process applies to our responsibilities as citizens. I think the quality of life in Covington is terrific, but if we want to improve it we all have to step outside of our comfort zones. We need to pop the safe haven or bubble we are surrounded by. We have to open our eyes to the world around us.

Being your Mayor required me to burst my safety bubble in a major way and I am so thankful I was forced to do it. I

have had the pleasure of interacting with people of all income and education levels and of every race, religion and political persuasion imaginable. Interacting with such a diverse group of people has taught me so much about this community’s history, people and culture. Those things are truly the strength of Covington.

My wife Kelley and I had our kids in private schools before we came to Covington. When we moved to this great city, we decided to step out of our comfort zone, into the unknown and let them attend public schools. Our kids have thanked us for having the courage to make that decision because they got as much of an education interacting with their classmates and teachers as they did from the curriculum laid out for them.

They stepped outside of what was comfortable and it will have a positive impact on them for the rest of their lives.

How can you burst your bubble and step outside of your safe zone? The easiest way to have your eyes opened is to drive around Covington. Drive to areas you have never been. Drive to areas that make you a little uncomfortable. Look at how other people live. It might make you thankful for what you

There is no question, Answer Man has all the answers

more letters to the editor

What time is it, boys and girls? It’s time for Answer Man! Time to dip into the ol’ mailbag and see what is on your mind and show you how little is on ours. While we can’t guarantee total and complete accuracy in our answers, it is Answer Man’s opinion that this won’t matter because if you knew the DICK YARBROUGH answer, you probably wouldn’t have COLUMNIST asked the question in the first place.

Please note that all answers remain the property of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company located in Greater Garfield, Georgia, and may not be rebroadcast, retransmitted or refried without the expressed written consent of Answer Man or that fat doughboy on MSNBC that Zell Miller threatened to beat up on the air a few years ago.

May I have the first question, please: Dear Answer Man: Why are you always picking on me?

I could just scream. Besides, you don’t even know me. F.D. from MSNBC. Answer Man: Correct, F.D., but I do know Zell Miller. Consider yourself lucky that he changed his mind. Otherwise, you and I wouldn’t be having this conversation today. He is a mountain man and a Marine. That is a formidable combination. I still have the scars from a few of the hide-peelings he administered to me when he was governor — and he liked me. He doesn’t like you.

Dear Answer Man: How do you think the last session of the Legislature went? Signed, an anxious Speaker of the House.

Answer Man: I think the Legislature went best when it went home.

Dear Answer Man: I have the feeling that you don’t know anything about high-technology. Can you even tweet? Signed, Ben from Ben Hill.

Answer Man: Absolutely. I usually try and time my tweets during the commercial breaks so that I don’t miss a minute of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” And, yes, I have to get up a couple of times during the night to tweet, although I really don’t see what any of this has to do with high-technology.

Dear Answer Man: I am an announced Democratic candidate for president of the United States. Do you think I will get the party’s nomination? (Please don’t respond via email.

I have been having some problems with my personal computer. Wink. Wink.) Signed, Bill’s Hill.

Answer Man: Are you kidding? You would get the Democratic Party nomination if you kissed a goat on the lips. Ask your husband. A goat is about the only thing he seems to have missed.

Dear Answer Man: I am an announced Republican candidate for president of the United States. My opponents are all (ugh!) RINOs. Do you think I will get the nomination? By the way, have you made a decision about who you will support? Signed, Cruisin’ in Texas.

Answer Man: First off, I wouldn’t suggest kissing a goat on the lips. You don’t have that much margin for error. Second, you might want to remind your supporters who the real enemy is. It’s the Democrats, not the other Republican nominees, aka, RINOs. However, I doubt telling them this will do much good. Republicans seem to enjoy eating their dead. As for me, I am supporting Herschel Walker. There is no doubt the man can still run.

Dear Answer Man: Can you give me an update on the recent law to ticket drivers for driving too slowly on the Interstates? Grandma from Grayson.

Answer Man: I am pleased to say that the law is working beautifully. I have been on the Interstates from one end of the state to the other and have yet to see a car doing less than the speed-of-sound. It makes driving on the Interstates a pleasure. I am proud of our legislators for taking on this criticallyimportant issue. Maybe next year they will consider legislation to promote tailgating and changing lanes without using those pesky turn signals.

Dear Answer Man: Is the University of Georgia still the oldest state-chartered university in the nation, located in Athens, the Classic City of the South and the home of the prestigious Peabody Awards? Signed, UGA IX, a citizen of the state.

Answer Man: Yes, it certainly is. I thought you would never ask.

Well, boys and girls, I see by the clock on the wall that we have run out of time today. Until next time, this is Answer Man saying thank you and keep those cards and letters coming in. Now, if you will pardon me, I have to go tweet.

Dear editor, I often wonder where those rascals at Amazon snoop to come up with product suggestions when I shop online. But, when a book titled “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team” appeared on that list recently, I knew exactly where the recommendation was rooted. They needed only to look at my shipping address.

These days, the word “dysfunction” immediately conjures thoughts of our Newton County Board of Commissioners (BoC) and the vexing issues confronting our citizens. When I saw the above book by Patrick Lencioni among my recommendations, my first thought was to find his list of five maladies to see how well it matched our local plight. As you might suspect – to a tee!

Written in parable form, the book tells of a fictional company, Decision Tech, and its CEO Kathryn Petersen who “faces the ultimate leadership crisis: uniting a team in such disarray that it threatens to bring down the entire company.” Sound familiar?

The five team dysfunctions outlined

by Lencioni are: 1.

Absence of trust 2.

Fear of conflict 3.

Lack of commitment 4.

Avoidance of accountability 5.

Inattention to results Hmmm… yes!

The author writes from experience in corporate leadership — and government admittedly differs in significant ways from traditional business. But, the parallels and lessons are unavoidable.

I don’t raise these points, though, to pile on an already painful situation.

There’s ample evidence of personal be-

have or it might motivate you to work for a higher standard of living. It could do both at the same time.

The other thing you can do is be open minded. When you hear of a proposed improvement project or of a way your tax dollars are going to be spent, think about how it will impact everyone, not just yourself. It might not have a major effect on you but could be life changing for someone else. So, before you form an opinion, think about other citizens and what it means for them.

Lastly, you have a voice. Whether or not you choose to use your voice is up to you, but you do have one. Positive or negative, I’d love to hear your voice. New ideas take courage and they are often criticized, but remember that all great things start with an idea and a discussion. I think it all starts with you bursting your bubble.

I always welcome and enjoy your feedback and ideas. Please send me an email at rjohnston@cityofcovington.org or give me a call at 770-262-1001. I’d love to hear from you.

Fixing dysfunctional county government – a place to start haviors among current and past chairmen and commissioners that put us in this mess. But, a dysfunctional system doesn’t change solely by swapping out individuals. There are more pervasive forces at work.

County Attorney Tommy Craig is at the center of every current pressing issue: the inability to budget and manage spending, a questionable reservoir project, and lawsuits/financial exposures related to solid waste management. But, these situations – and Craig’s unchecked power – tie to at least three of these dynamics in our county government: fear of conflict, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results.

These longstanding, deeply ingrained patterns existed long before the current board was elected. Changing the County Attorney situation is absolutely necessary, but it won’t fix these flaws — nor will simply voting to replace every sitting elected official with anyone else. We have more fundamental issues to address.

It’s clear the ill-conceived and likely illegal board moves in 2011 to create the County Manager position and strip the Chairman’s office of its power only caused more confusion and further diluted accountability. This was exacerbated by action in 2014 to again limit the Chairman’s authority, while doing nothing to fix ambiguous roles and responsibilities. Thus, recent votes to restore the Chairman’s powers and initiate a citizens’ advisory committee on our form of government are steps in the right direction. But, more focus is needed.

When it comes to elected leadership, we citizens doing the voting must also acknowledge our role in current

dysfunction. While there have been lonely voices for change through the years, has the electorate as a whole paid attention to results? Have we insisted on accountability? Are we committed enough to get involved, show up, pay attention, understand the issues, and make our wishes known?

Are we willing to risk conflict? When a leader does show courage to stand apart from the status quo, will we have his or her back? Can we listen as much as we voice concerns, doing our part to reestablish trust necessary to overcome forces still moving us in the wrong direction?

Prescribing fixes for struggling teams, Lencioni writes: “Counter to conventional wisdom, the causes of dysfunction are both identifiable and curable. However, they don't die easily.

Making a team functional and cohesive requires levels of courage and discipline that many groups cannot seem to muster.”

To our elected officials, we need you to find that courage now. To my fellow citizens, we can’t just lament the mess. We must create a community and culture where courage is expected and rewarded. Unless and until you can honestly envision yourself taking on that difficult role and living up to those expectations, it’s questionable to expect of someone else what you’re not willing to endure yourself based solely on the premise “they asked for it.” It’s easy enough to vote against what we have. But, to really change things, we must better recognize, vote for, and foster the things lacking now. This list is a start.

Wouldn't it be great...

Dear editor, It would be great if Americans would stop listening to the pundits on MSNBC and Fox News that make money by hyping up the tensions between white and black.

It would be great if we would stop letting ourselves be divided on issues like those brought forth in Baltimore.

It would be great if we could have a real conversation about what happened in Baltimore, Ferguson, and any other town in the USA. Both sides of the argument have legitimate points that should be addressed.

It would be great if "African Americans" engaged in activism for something other than what they see as a "black" issue.

It would be great if white Americans would admit that they are more likely to suspect a black kid walking down the street of being up to no good than if it was a white kid.

It would be great if we could stop casting judgement immediately after news breaks, and let the facts comes to light. (I've been guilty of this) It would be great if black America would understand that "black culture" today has issues that need to be addressed, and they can't be fixed by white folks or the government.

It would be great if white America

would realize that "white folks" have issues that need to be dealt with too, rather than just blaming many of our country's problems on Obama and "the blacks that voted him in office."

It would be great if we, as a society, would admit that the government, and each individual indirectly, have allowed policies that have had a negative impact on black and poor communities.

It would be great if people would admit that law enforcement can be corrupt and things need to change rather than saying "Well, if you aren't doing anything wrong, you wouldn't have to worry about it."

There are law enforcement officers out there that are egotistical maniacs, and inside the Fraternal Order of Police there is a problem of keeping mistakes quiet.

It would be great if people that supposedly value life would stop letting someone's criminal past be used to dismiss any wrongdoing at the hands of government officials.

It would be great if people would admit that many of the violent rioters aren't out there protesting anything.

They just want to loot and destroy.

It would be great if people would stop labeling the thousands of peaceful protesters as animals and thugs. There

was a massive and diverse crowd that marched peacefully, and a small fraction of that crowd was there to stir up trouble.

Oh wouldn't it be great...

We have yet another opportunity to address the issues that divide us.

I wish we could have thoughtful, respectful conversations amongst ourselves in our communities. They can get heated at times, but understand that issues like this have been brewing a storm of emotions for decades, if not centuries. Talking WITH one another rather than talking TO one another is the only way we can come together, stop the violence, and move on. Otherwise, things keep boiling, and one day, those truly wishing to be "Revolutionaries" will have enough angry people on both sides to create the chaos that they want.

Come on y'all, we can do better than what we are doing now. Both sides need to stop the hate and stand up to those speaking ignorantly in our communities. (Man... that last line sounded way too liberal for me, but I'm calling it like I see it.) Nothing is ever going to improve if we stand by and let the media tell us what to think. Let's talk.

This is a real dream come true.

Sydney Ziglar, Baylea Payne, Ryleigh Langford and Daphne Ramirez make up the four freshmen that helped propel Alcovy’s girls soccer team to a No. 2 seed and a trip to the playoffs.

Get all four freshmen in a room and you’ll likely be drawn to their distinct individual magnetic personalities. Although each of the four are their own person, as a group they make up the backbone of Alcovy’s future in girls soccer.

“This has got to be the most talented and dynamic group of freshmen I have ever been around. Even within those freshmen, these four standout,” Anna Hebert, Lady Tigers’ head coach, said.

Ziglar is quiet and reserved, she doesn’t talk to people much. She does all of her talking through her incredible play on the field where she finished with 27 goals and 12 assists this season setting a new school record for goals for both boys and girls.

Payne is more of a vocal leader, but she’s just as adept at leading with her play on the field finishing with 21 goals and 11 assists.

Ramirez is an incredible keeper. She set a record herself with the most shutouts in a season with seven. She anchors the defense and directs the players as a defensive leader.

Langford didn’t set any records like her

three peers, but she’s just as crucial to Alcovy’s defense. As a stopper, she had eight saves and even contributed on offense with two assists and one goal. She’s also one of the most dependable players on the team as Hebert says she started all 16 games and never subbed her until the last 50 seconds of the Lady Tigers playoff game.

Payne and Ziglar combine to make one heck of a scoring tandem in the front, but in the back Ramirez and Langford hold down the fort for Alcovy’s defense. Together they’re a formidable foursome and a force to be reckoned with.

Outside the confines of the pitch, they’re just four fun-loving girls navigating their way through high school. Payne, Ziglar and Ramirez have known each other since their days in elementary school. Although the two make a lethal combination the field, Payne says she and Ziglar never talked until this year despite having been at the same schools since kindergarten.

“I didn’t talk to her either,” Ziglar said laughing.

Payne and Ramirez have played together since they were nine years old, when they lived in the same neighborhood. Ramirez and Langford have played club soccer together and with it built a great camaraderie.

Payne and Ziglar are polar opposites.

Payne is talkative, outgoing and vibrant. Ziglar is the exact opposite. She doesn’t talk to

“

This has got to be the most talented and dynamic group of freshmen I have ever been around.

Even within those freshmen, these four stand out”

— Anna Hebert,

Lady Tigers’ head coach people much, she wears a smile on her face, but keeps to herself.

Paynes says Ziglar has come out of her shell more, or as she calls it, blossomed into a beautiful butterfly from her cocoon.

There probably isn’t a greater supporter of Ziglar than Payne, but Payne is also Ziglar’ greatest rival.

“I want to beat Sydney. That’s probably my No. 1 priority. Because I don’t like to lose,” she laughed.

Ziglar and Payne both broke the previous record of 16 goals for girl’s soccer and Payne

really wanted to beat out her teammate. They had a friendly competition going this past season to see which of them would score the most goals.

“I don’t know if it was that friendly. I got mad sometimes,” Payne said laughing. Payne jokes that she got mad when she couldn’t play after she got hurt (she missed two games) and Syd would get goals.

When asked if she would let Payne beat her record next year, Sydney quickly responded with a stern “no” and a smile.

While Baylea and Sydney fight for goals, Ramirez and Langford work together to keep the opposition from scoring.

“I have pretty good chemistry with Daphne I’d say. Working in the back I’m pretty used to working with her because I work with her sometimes on club team. So we work pretty good together so that’s how I kind of control the defense with Daphne. She helps me,” Langford said.

Hebert says the two form a pretty good duo. Hebert can rely on Langford when Ramirez sits.

“One of the things that makes Ryleigh very valuable on defense is that when Daphne comes out, Ryleigh knows where to be. There were several times she was on the goalline and cleared shots that would have gone in otherwise,” Hebert said.

Lady Rams track and field wins first region championship in 14 years SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com

Thornton to soar at Georgia Southern SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com

Breanna Thornton made her mother, Jennifer Grant, proud on Thursday when she signed her letter of intent for a full ride scholarship as a track and field athlete at Georgia Southern University.

“This is awesome. I can’t even explain it, honestly. I knew from when she was a kid that she would be something wonderful and she has never proven me wrong,” Grant said.

Thornton has made her mark as a captain on Eastside’s track and field

team, where she leads both the girls and the boys.

“Bre is a different animal. She’s been the captain of our team and she’s not just the captain of the girls she’s the captain of the girls and the boys. She’s got that kind of mentality that people just wanna gravitate to her and follow her,” Frankey Iverson, Eastside track and field head coach, said.

“She’s always just been very motivated. You just tell her what needs to be done and she does whatever she needs to do to get it done. I’ve been super, super proud of her,” Grant added.

Iverson says Thornton’s extreme work ethic and determination has been her driving force. He says that she developed her talents on her own, but Thornton credits her mother for instilling her with such a strong work ethic.

“The drive and everything she has to motivate and to push myself in everything – that came from her,” Thornton said.

Iverson says Thornton is probably the hardest worker to ever come through the track and field program at Eastside.

“I can’t be more happy for her. She took it upon herself that she wanted to sign with a university so she wanted to work hard to do it. She was playing multiple sports and she decided she wanted to concentrate on one it resulted in her getting a scholarship so I can’t be more proud of her,” Iverson said.

Thornton is the 24th track and field athlete to sign with a university since Iverson’s tenure began in 2005.

“As a freshman she’s seen kids come through to sign with track and field. It’s just a building process. When she saw it as a freshman she wanted to be sitting there come four years from then so here she is,” Iverson said.

Thornton started track and field in middle school. Grant says Thornton saw herself getting better so she pushed harder to push herself to another level.

Thornton, who had a host of other offers, says she chose Georgia Southern because it had her major – athletic training – and that was her No. 1 priority. She says that when she went to visit she felt like she fit in.

Thornton will be a triple jumper and run the 400 at GSU. She says she wants to break her own personal records at the next level.

That mentality is what makes her special says Iverson.

“She’s a dog,” Iverson said. “She’s got that bulldog mentality.

She’s gone go after it, she wants it, she’s gone get it. That’s how she is.”

Taking notice SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com

Last year around this time Eastside baseball was 14-12 (9-7 in region play) sitting at home while other teams were in the playoffs. Enter new head coach Bruce Evans with a load of talent such as Gray Ritchie, Hunter Ballard, Josh Sims, Austin Holloway, Charlie Greenich, Jared Jones and more and the Eagles finished with a 21-9 record in a first round exit in the playoffs.

The loss stung the Eagles, despite the team being just a No. 4 seed. Eastside had shown a lot of promise throughout the season. The way Region 4-AAAA is set up forced the Eagles into dropping to the No. 4 seed despite having the same region record as Pike (15-3) and a better record than Griffin (12-5).

Evans says he was excited that seniors like the Jones twins (Jake and Jared), Hunter Ballard, Justin Moore and Hunter Davidson all got a chance to go experience a successful season and go out playing in the state playoffs because a lot of seniors don’t get that opportunity.

“For a first year I think that’s pretty awesome to go 21-7,” Evans said.

Evans says that despite the loss he realizes that the team has grown in ways that are bigger than baseball. Evans recalls that when he initially got here it seemed to him that the team wasn’t as close as they could be. He says it was like they were divided.

Now, Evans says, they’ve become a family.

“I hope that’s something that they (the seniors) carry for the rest of their life this family bond that we have together. Even though they’re gonna graduate and move on do different things I feel like they’re always gonna know that they’re a part of this family,” Evans said.

“I couldn’t be happier with the way the kids played,” he added. “We teach them a lot more about life and about the struggle of life and the way to handle things and react to things. That stuffs greater than baseball, and I feel like our kids came a long way with that.”

The Eagles have players that contributed from all four grade levels this season. Evans says his seniors will be hard to replace, but he has a good core coming back with Holloway, Sims, Greenich, Ritchie and a host of others.

“One thing that we learned and I hope

that they learned is that it doesn’t matter what grade you’re in anybody can step up and play and be a part of this,” Evans said.

Evans says the life lessons they’ve learned through the adversity they’ve faced together is something he hopes the players keep with them for a lifetime because that’s how life is. After the team lost both playoff games, Evans says there wasn’t a dry eye out in left field.

He says he talked to the team about how they got to the playoffs and faced trials and tribulations just to get there. Eastside’s season didn’t start off great. After the first couple of games the Eagles were 0-2 and dealing with a number of injuries to its pitching staff.

“Sometimes you feel like you’re fighting hard and ain’t getting anywhere, but you gotta keep going. We’ve done a lot of that this year,” Evans said. “I feel like our kids understand what it takes to be good men and to represent their school and their town and they’ve done that with dignity and pride.”

Evans says he’s watched the team grow as people and baseball players. He added that he and his coaching staff try to educate the whole child not just the baseball player, and he feels they’ve done a good job of that.

Eastside’s young players were in a lot of big games this year and Evans believes the experience will prepare them for what’s to come next year. Eastside was picked to finish in the bottom five of the standings this year, but they took teams by surprise and Evans knows they won’t be able to do that next year. He says they’ll have to play with a target on their back, but he thinks they’re ready for it.

To have such a turnaround in a coach’s first year is a great feat, but Evans says he’s just happy to be here and have the support that he does.

“I really appreciate the parents and all the support from the school, the administration and everybody that we’ve had this year,” Evans said. “I’ve never experienced such a blessing from everybody pulling on the same rope and nobody pulling against you. It’s really something nice and something special for us to be able to work in peace and enjoyment and everybody supporting us and pulling us. It’s really nice.

We’ve got a great of parents, kids, administrators and teachers. I just appreciate everything everybody’s done to make my family feel welcome here.”

“I’ve never had a field player have that ability before. She’s very talented,” Hebert added.

Ramirez is terrific in-goal.

She knows just when to come out and when to stay back.

“It’s kind of all come just from a lot of experience with it,” Ramirez said. “I kind of watch early on in the game just to know what the forwards look like and what the players look like before they’re coming into the box.

I trust my backs a lot so I know they’ll usually get to it, but if they don’t I can kind of gauge when they’re gonna come in or not.”

Hebert agrees that Ramirez’s awareness makes her special.

“That’s something that sets Daphne apart from a lot of female goalkeepers in that she’s not timid. She understands that you are either going out and you’re coming

away with the ball or the girl or you’re not coming out. She never halfway commits. It’s great,” Hebert said.

“She’s very good at directing the defense and motivating the entire team. She’s a real leader,” Hebert added.

All four freshmen have blossomed into leaders on a team that still has a notable number of upperclassmen.

They all work together and interact with each other in some shape or fashion. Payne is arguably the most vocal leader, which can be hard for most underclassmen but not for her.

“I’ve always done that. I’ve never cared how old they were or how much bigger they were compared to me,” Payne said. “I never try to be mean about it, but I’m always loud and I’m very assertive.

They don’t like the way I come across sometimes, but I even apologize sometimes to them after the game saying, ‘I’m sorry if I came across...’ but I wanna win and whatever I can do for the team to win I’ll do. So if that means

telling you, ‘Hey nice try, but you could’ve got there,’ or something then that’s just what I gotta do.”

During games, although she doesn’t mean to sometimes Payne can comes across as mean. And Langford hears it a lot.

“I get frustrated sometimes with Baylea,” Langford laughed. “But I love her!”

Payne has an intense desire to win and its a quality you want in any leader. Her peers don’t resent her for it because it makes them better.

Ziglar has the same kind of heart on the pitch. She’s small, but she’s fast and agile. Her size doesn’t stop her from attacking any and everyone that gets in her way.

“I never give up,” Ziglar said. She’s small, but she’s all heart.

The fantastic four are young talents, but they all have areas where they’d like to improve. Ziglar says she’s like to score 30-plus goals next season to which Baylea responds that she wants to score 40 after admitting she

wants to be better than her teammate and her cousin Sarah Gattis, who went to Eastside before graduating two years ago and had the most goals in the county according to Payne.

Ramirez says that she wants to increase her shutouts record, but she also cares more about getting quality saves that result in her catching the ball more and not giving up so many corners. Langford says she

wants to be more versatile and faster. She says that she also wants to get better with her tackles and not stab the ball as much.

“We are only freshmen so it could only go up from here and that’s what I’m excited about,” Payne said.

Hebert says that her favorite trait about her four freshmen is that they’re all unselfish. As competitive as Payne and Ziglar are with each other, they get a lot of

their assists by passing to one another.

“I’ve never seen ninth graders take leadership like this group of ninth graders,” Hebert said.

Ramirez says that despite all of their differences the one thing that ties them together is their passion for soccer.

Ramirez said, “I think it’s just that we have the same love for this one sport. I think that’s just kind of the thing that brings us together.”

Hosanna Fletcher has lived in Newton County since 2005. With a Masters in Public Health and another in Sociology, she has up congestion. Drowsiness, dry mouth and nasal irritation may be side effects of common allergy drugs.

People who want to avoid allergy medication can look to natural remedies to alleviate their symptoms. Whether used alone or in concert with traditional medicine, these remedies may make spending time outdoors more pleasant.

Try some natural methods to fend off allergy symptoms.

Natural ways to beat seasonal allergies (Metro Creative Connection) The arrival of warmer weather changes the landscape completely. Animals come out of hiding and hibernation while trees and flowers bloom anew.

The spring season can be an exciting time for naturalists and lovers of the great outdoors because they can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of nature. But for many people, spring also marks the start of allergy season and spending time outdoors can become downright uncomfortable for them.

The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology says nasal allergies affect approximately 50 million people in the United States. Allergic diseases, including asthma,

are the fifth most prevalent chronic diseases among people of all ages and the third most common in children. Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, can occur in spring, summer and/ or early fall. People who experience hay fever often can attribute their symptoms to sensitivity to pollens from trees, grasses, weeds, or airborne mold spores.

No two allergy sufferers are alike, so medications that may work for one person may be only mildly effective for another.

Many medications can cause side effects, which may be just as frustrating as the initial allergy symptoms. Treatments may target sneezing and itching but fail to clear

C N

Try probiotics. Probiotics, those friendly bacteria that reside in the digestive system, can do more than just treat an upset stomach. Naturopathic doctors say that probiotics also can influence the immune system and may help strengthen its response to common allergens.

Since probiotics are good for replenishing healthy bacteria in the body anyway, many people may want to keep taking them once their allergy symptoms have come and gone.

Use neti pots or saline sprays. A small amount of saltwater can rinse away allergens, such as pollen, that get lodged in the nose. These rinses also can help clear up congestion and flush out any other irritants.

Load up on omega-3s. A German study published in the journal Allergy found that participants who ate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids were less likely to suffer allergy symptoms than those who didn’t regularly eat these foods. Omega3s can help fight inflammation. Drinking more fluids and using spices in cooking can help flush out allergens as well.

Don’t forget vitamin C. Vitamin C is an immune-system booster and may help prevent the formation of histamine in the body, a substance responsible for many allergy symptoms.

worked on a variety of community development projects, led training sessions for Lay Health Advisors, conducted and evaluated health risk assessments, and designed and implemented employee wellness programs.

Hosanna and her husband Kevin, a Newton County native, have been married for 15 years this October. They have two children — Miranda, 11, and Thomas, 3.

did you know?

Fitness boot camp classes are growing in popularity at fitness facilities across the country. This type of group physical training, which may take place indoors or outside, employs personal trainers and sometimes former military personnel as instructors.

The regimen is designed to build strength and endurance through intense group exercise intervals. Classes may run 30 minutes to one hour in length. Many classes include some form of fast-paced cardiovascular exercise, along with a series of strength-training elements, like using dumbbells or the resistance of one's own body weight. Flexibility exercises or stretching may be part of the classes, borrowing elements from yoga and Pilates.

Concerts on the square return in May SANDRA BRANDS news@covnews.com

The strains of ‘80s and ‘90s classic rock will be heard over lunch in downtown Covington beginning Thursday, May 7, with the launch of the 25th season of Concerts on the Square.

But this year, something new has been added. Several area restaurants will have tables outside and will sell lunches.

“We want to encourage people to shop and eat downtown,” said Velinda Wheeles, director of Main Street Covington. “People can purchase the lunches when they arrive.”

Restaurants participating include Square Perk Coffee Shop, Bradley’s BBQ, Bread and Butter Bakery and Plain Nuts.

“We’re hopeful for a good month of beautiful weather so we can stay on the square each Thursday,” said

Wheeles. “We want them to take advantage of the restaurants we have and enjoy a nice hour on the square.

There’s nothing like sitting out in the park under the magnolias – it’s a peaceful feeling – a nice, small town feel-good feeling.”

Blue Maxx, sponsored by McKibben Music, will open the season and features local musicians, Jeff Hay and Tommy Forgay. On May 14, the Newton County Theme School second grad hand bell choir will open the concert, followed by Johnny Roquemore and the Apostles of Bluegrass. Soul and gospel music will be provided by the Bradley Green Band on May 21, and the Seminole Jackson Blues Band will perform on May 28.

“We have always booked different genres weekly so we appeal to different groups of people,” said Buncie Lanner, Executive Director of the Arts Association

in Newton County. “The response is awesome. We get about 300 people in attendance [who] come out to enjoy our beautiful square and enjoy good music.”

The concerts are presented by the Arts Association and Main Street Covington, and sponsored, in part, by Rob & Jean Fowler, Abbey Hospice, the Newton Federal Bank and The Covington News.

The event is free and open to the public. In the event of rain, the concerts will be held at the Turner Lake Recreation Center.

For more information, check the Arts Association or Main Street Covington Facebook pages.

‘Love for Mom’ day held on the Square As a way to promote downtown businesses and eateries, Main Street Covington is working with area shops and restaurants on “Love for Mom,” Day, Satur-

day, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

“We’re inviting people to come downtown and do their Mother’s Day shopping, here,” said Velinda Wheeles, Director of Main Street Covington. “It’s a way to promote family time and coming downtown to shop.”

As part of the promotion, punch cards will be given out at WildArt. Shop at three of the 22 participating retailers, get the card punched and take it back to WildArt to have a photographer from Wright’s Expression Photography take a picture. Children can then make cards to give to their mothers.

Participating business are Wild Art, Scoops, Spires Interiors and Gifts, Fletcher’s Jewelry, Shelvie Jean, Brendale’s, Bread and Butter Bakery, Bradley’s BBQ, Physique Hair, Merle Norman, Charmed Salon Spa Boutique, Square Perk, Mystic Grill, The Alley, Amici’s, Your Sister’s Clos-

et, Southern Heartland, Tropical Nails, Ramsey’s Furniture, New Shoez, The Cork Boutique and Gifts, Sherwood’s Flowers and

Square Bikes.

Wheeles said Main Street was looking at doing something for Father’s Day in June.

WWII DAYS T

he B-24 Liberator was overdue. Ugly gray clouds and a misty overcast cut visibility to less than a mile. Hot and sticky, the crewmembers had been airborne most of the day and they were eager to land. Big sweat beads rolled off their faces and dripped onto the metal floor. The nose art on front of the B-24 identified her as Diamond Lil. Ground personnel were anxious, hoping Diamond Lil could make the airfield. Unattractive and ungraceful, the B-24 merited a reputation for difficult handling and unpredictable flight characteristics.

But experience sat at the controls.

The pilot, Paul Stojkov, had flown B-24, B-29, B-17, and B-25 bombers, plus wrestled the sticks of legendary P-51 Mustang and P47 Thunderbolt fighters. In bad weather and rainy conditions, Paul Stojkov was the man you wanted in the pilot’s seat of the cumbersome flying hulk.

Eyes scanned the skies until someone shouted, “There she is!” Out of the PETE MECCA mist at the north end of the runway COLUMNIST Diamond Lil slipped through a dulllooking shadowy raincloud like a phantom seeking the protection of solid earth. She appeared to bank at a ninety degree angle, her right wing pointing straight towards the ground until Paul leveled the beast just before touchdown.

Diamond Lil slowed then swiveled onto the runway apron.

Lumbering past a grateful and cheering crowd, an arm emerged from the copilot’s window. He waved as if to say, “Glad we made it.”

Diamond Lil had not been on a bombing mission to Berlin or the horrific raid to the Romanian oil fields at Ploesti when 54 out of 177 B-24s were lost. No, Diamond Lil, one of only two Liberators still flying today, had just touched down at Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field in Peachtree City.

The festive occasion was the 12th Annual WWII Heritage Days event sponsored by the Commemorative Air Force Dixie Wing to honor the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The event is a trip back in time, to a country and citizenry once united for a cause worth fighting for. The general public steps back to an era of men and women whose generation is slowly slipping away from an important and critical period in our history. Women, decked out in the dresses and hats of the WWII home front (a few with a black mascara line drawn up the back of each leg to mimic how ladies faked the lack of silk stockings during the war) promenaded with men decked out in suits that thankfully are now out of style.

A younger generation wore the uniforms of our WWII soldiers, as did a few American boys dressed as Japanese soldiers plus a plethora of men and women dressed as German infantrymen and/or Red Cross workers. One tall Aryanlooking man donned the uniform of a German officer; he fit the bill to a tee. The ‘Americans’ and ‘Germans’ performed a lifelike reenactment of the Battle for the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen using a multitude of WWII weapons loaded with blanks, including .30 caliber machine guns. The noise was deafening, as battles are. A few people covered their ears, little people in strollers cried or had a look of total bewilderment on their pinkish faces, yet gung-ho spectators applauded and clamored for more. By the way, the American soldiers won.

Outside the main hangar, several jeeps, staff cars, a Red Cross tent, old Army trucks, a Japanese Zero and an American Vought F4U Corsair of Pappy Boyington’s Black Sheep Squadron renown, a very active air raid siren, and dozens of reenactors were available for photo shoots. And, of course,

tasty American hot dogs and cheeseburgers were available for grumbling stomachs.

Tuskegee Airmen and their supporters manned a booth inside the main hangar as did the Silent Service (submarine) veterans of WWII. Clothes, watches, medals, bayonets, chest ribbons, books, flags and hundreds of other WWII items were on display. Two young women dressed as American Red Cross workers displayed the first aid kits and medical instruments of WWII. My wife and I were informed that during the North African Campaign when our nurses ran out of sutures to stitch injured soldiers they used their own hair strands to sew up our boys.

Gun enthusiasts were not disappointed. Most likely every weapon a soldier could carry in WWII was on display inside the main hangar. A German Panzefaust (tank fist) anti-tank weapon, Mauser rifles, and the feared MG-34 German machine gun drew crowds. American weapons included the reliable M-1 Garand, M-1 carbine, Thompson submachine gun, M3/A1 ‘Grease Gun’, and dozens more. The mainstay Japanese rifle in WWII, the Arisaka, drew attention as did Type 96 Light Machine guns and Nambu pistols.

Carol Cain, the well-known Rosie the Riveter performer, demonstrated her many talents and more than enough military historians hawked the knowledge they’d memorized over the years. After gulping down two cheeseburgers in record time…my wife called them Concrete Burgers…

I scampered over to the main terminal to beg, con, or slip unnoticed into Diamond Lil. Slipping unnoticed onto the B-24 was noticed and halted in a split second by a friendly yet unyielding sentry. So, back to begging or conning. Those ideas didn’t work either. Fortunately, my Georgia Press Association card did the trick.

I toured the B-24 alone. Compared to the B-17, the Liberator is bigger and better but still not the best. It’s spacious and the cockpit offered a pilot and copilot ample leg room. A Liberator flew faster, had a longer range, and carried a heavier bomb load than a B-17, but a B-24 lacked the survivability and altitude of the legendary Flying Fortress.

The pilot, Paul Stojkov, described the Liberator in no uncertain terms, “It’s challenging and it’s fun, but very heavy in the elevator. Actually, the B-24 is the crappiest aircraft I’ve ever flown. Flying a Liberator is comparable to driving an eighteen wheeler with ten flat tires. During the war you could identify a pilot or copilot of a B-24 by the size of their arms from having to fight the controls for eight hours or more. But, it did its job and helped end the war.”

I noticed two men of the Greatest Generation on the tarmac admiring Diamond Lil with loving eyes, even caressing her large nose art anatomy in specific areas. Both men were navigators on B-24s during WWII, Hap Chandler and Paul Koshewa. Hap witnessed air crashes, the flak-filled skies dotted with parachutes, aerial fights to the death, and breakfast with another crew who were later killed in a crash during takeoff. Hap survived 35 missions ‘without a scratch’ and lived to fight another war in Korea as a B-26 pilot. A lady named Skee Price accompanied Hap to WWII days… she worked for the OSS (precursor to the C.I.A.) in London and Norway during the war.

Uncle Sam got his money’s worth after training Paul Koshewa as a B-24 navigator. He fought in three wars, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, retiring as a full-Bird Colonel. In July of 1944, Paul’s Liberator was ambushed by 10 German Messerschmitt fighters. The fighters peppered the bomber with accurate fire; two projectiles hit Paul’s lower left leg smashing the bone. Injecting himself with morphine, Paul crawled to other wounded airmen to render aid. His bravery was awarded with a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross. During the Korean War, Paul navigated C-47 cargo planes on propaganda leaflet missions or dropped saboteurs behind enemy lines. During the Vietnam War, he guided C-124 cargo planes from Manila into Da Nang, Phu Cat, Saigon, and other hot spots. In civilian life Paul taught and coached at Westminster High and served as an assistant football coach at The Citadel.

Brave men flew, navigated, defended, and died aboard the B-24 during WWII. By wars end, America produced 18,482 Liberators. Over 3,600 aircraft would be lost in combat. The more famous B-17 Flying Fortress faired far worst – of the 12,732 built, over 5,000 were lost in the battle for air supremacy. B-24s like Diamond Lil were notorious to catch fire, they were unattractive, hard to handle, and regularly broke apart when forced to ditch at sea. Ugly and unpredictable? Perhaps. But so is war, and the Liberator helped win the biggest war of all.

YOU'LL BE FLOORED with The Shack Out Back

BY LISA HETZEL One of Staci's goals is to showcase

Rob and Staci Lowder invite the public to the opening of their vintage antique shop, The Shack Out Back.

Located in the back of Floor Creations, the store beckons you to take a closer look. Rustic tin roofing lines the walls, neon signs light corners and antique signs surround the eclectic array of pristine furniture, toys, and vintage car parts. Staci said," It's a little bit man cave, a mix of Americana and a chance to sample local crafts."

After almost 20 years of marriage, the high school sweethearts consider themselves "avid antiquers." Their farm in Monticello has been a haven for all of their vintage finds. However, they have always dreamed of opening an antique shop in Rockdale County.

Rob has owned and run Floor Creations on Sigman Road for the past seven years. The couple brainstormed ways to convert the rest of the building into an antique shop.

In January, they decided to make their dream come true. Staci, a former mammography technologist at Rockdale Medical Center, devoted herself full-time to working on the store. Estate sales and auction treasures began to build their inventory. The couple grew excited as the space was gradually transformed.

A chance encounter in North Carolina changed everything. Staci said, "We were visiting our relatives in Clayton and saw an antique store right across the Georgia state line. Every time that we went by, it was closed." A second trip increased their curiosity when they saw "Going Out of Business."

Staci wanted to see more. A closer look revealed a small handwritten note that said, "For deliveries, call Bryan."

After calling, she found out that Bryan owned the North Carolina family business with his father-in-law, Steve Anglin. Steve had been ready

repurposed treasures with the art of metal tooling. Eileen Lowder Murray restores furniture and gives it new life with lots of character. to retire and his wife, Lisa, had been eager to travel. So, of course, Staci and Rob got a private tour of the shop.

After a while, Rob looked at Steve and asked, "How much do you want for everything in the store?"

The question took all of them by surprise. The Anglins' store had been a lifelong love. It was very important to Steve and Bryan to decide on a fair price. A deal was soon made and the rest, you could say, was history.

Rob and Staci are both very excited for the opportunity to build and craft as well, focusing on pallet art and black pipe artwork.

The result is a charming store, filled with a little bit for everyone. The store promises to be a real hit. Visit their Facebook page, website, or better yet, their store. Bring your friends. Bring your neighbors, and help get the word

The families became close as they moved the entire collection of antiques to the Lowder's store in Conyers.

Bryan went above and beyond offering his time, extensive knowledge, and muscle power to get the merchandise carefully loaded. Staci said, "Without all of their help, we would not have been ready. We really want to pay tribute to each of them."

The feeling seems mutual. On The Shack Out Back's Facebook review page, Lisa Anglin wrote, "Staci and Rob have become our forever friends.

I hope that you give their business a shot. Our family wishes them the best of luck and great success. Go see them. You won't be disappointed. Best wishes, Steven and Lisa Anglin, Bryan and Kelli Green." The Anglins and the Greens spent lots of time teaching Rob and Staci the many mysteries and marvels of their personal collection.

RELIGION just a thought

Precious moments

The good shepherd Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah!

For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

—M ­ atthew 16:13-18 (English Standard Version) In the Middle East, “tels” dot the landscape as monuments to some of the ancient history of the land.

In Hebrew, “tel” is a word used to describe an archaeological site of a large mound of earth which houses the remains of an abandoned ancient settlement which was used for living, JAN MCCOY ruling or worship. Most tels resemble COLUMNIST mesas in the American southwest, and look like upside down flat bottomed cones.

In the ancient times, the tels were given the names of the main tribes that settled an area. Atop Tel Dan, named after one of the sons of Israel, sits the ruins of one of the “high places” built by natives of the land. These “high places” were temples to pagan gods built on mountains for all the people of the land to be able to see and where people would go and worship those gods. This particular tel housed the temple to the pagan god Pan. In Greek mythology, Pan was the god of the shepherds, woodlands and streams, and Banias, the stream that flows through Tel Dan, was considered part of Pan’s realm. In ancient Israel, this palace with its caves and caverns was considered the Gates of Hell or Hades.

On the side of the mountain, visitors can recognize the shapes of windows, long since made part of the mountain.

Along the top of the tel, soldiers watch over the border which runs just north of the tel, one of many reminders that political and religious tensions still exist in this area of the world.

It may have been in this area of Caesarea Philippi where Jesus and his disciples were walking when Jesus questioned the disciples about who people said that he was. Here at the Gates of Hell (or Hades), Peter declared Jesus to be the Son of God, and Jesus revealed that Peter would be a Rock, a foundational stone in the living Church which was even then being formed in the hearts and faith of the disciples. Even here at the Gates of Hell, the Church was prevailing.

Today, the Church still lives and grows and stands up to all that the Gates of Hell can throw at it. Christians are still persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ, declaring their faith in him even to the point of death. People still reach out in love to help others around the world with food, clothing, fresh water, and education. Christians still live and grow in their faith, standing on God’s Word as the firm foundation of faith.

Peter revealed his heart in his declaration of Jesus as the Son of God, and later revealed his love for the Lord in how he lived and died for his faith. How are you declaring your faith in Christ by what you say and how you live?

We have all seen them, those precious moments when a soldier surprises his wife or kids with a special unannounced visit home. How touching they are to see the emotion and joy that overcomes those who have been waiting so long for a glimpse, a touch and some time with their loved ones from whom they have been apart.

Now can you imagine one of those scenes going like this: the loved one appears everyone is shocked, the whole crowd anticipates this great response from the spouse and instead they get, “Oh, hi, good to see ya.” As they just keep doing what they were doing before the loved one appeared?

We would be blown away!

“Weren’t they surprised? Didn’t they want them to come home?

Don’t they love their appearing?”

Oh Christian, how are we preparing for the surprise return of our groom Jesus? Are we anticipating, waiting, hopeful it will be today? Are we prepared for it if it is today? Will we love it when He suddenly steps forth and calls His children home or will we be caught just going about life as if it will never happen?

Perhaps you have even resolved yourself to believe it won’t happen in your life time. But it could.

And are we living that way, in anticipation and expectation that if it is today, I have only today to live for Him? If it is today, whatever I put off to tomorrow will not get done for His sake? Jesus cautions us: “You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."

(Lk. 12:40) How will your precious moment look when your loved one surprises you with His return for you?
