BOC votes to eliminate Green Hill from consideration MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com
The Newton County Board of Commissioners voted down a controversial proposal to lease the county landfill to a private startup Wednesday night following passionate testimony from the affected community, environmentalists and concerned citizens. The audience erupted in cheers as two out of three commissioners voted to "eliminate Green Hill P3 from consideration in the process of determining the future of our Newton County solid waste disposal site." The motion made by District 1 Commissioner John Douglas also instructed a citizen solid waste panel created to study the issue to "continue with their efforts...to protect the Spring Hill community, stop the loss of revenue...and...find a model of how to manage our solid waste disposal site and/or search out other companies that may be willing to provide a bid for services to Newton County." District 2 Commissioner Lanier Sims voted in favor of Douglas' motion, with District 5 Commissioner J.C. Henderson voting against it. Commissioner Nancy Schulz left Wednesday’s meeting early but expressed support for

East Georgia to pursue damages, landfill construction MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com
The East Georgia Land & Development Company will move forward with its plan to construct a private landfill and sue Newton County for damages related to a legal battle waged for more than 17 years. The announcement came Wednesday just hours before the Board of Commissioners voted to "eliminate from consideration" Green Hill P3 as part of a tripartite agreement with East Georgia, days after Green Hill pulled the proposal. East Georgia has fought the county since 1997 for the necessary compliance letters needed to apply to build a landfill on approximately 424-427 acres it purchased next to the public landfill on Lower River Road. In October, 2014, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled in East Georgia's favor. Jim Baker, head of East Georgia, provided The News with copies of letters sent to Newton County Chairman Keith Ellis and Newton County's legal counsel Wednesday informing the county of East Georgia's intentions: "...Newton County Attorney Tommy Craig negotiated with Green Hill and a structure and proposed agreement was negotiated; county attorney Tommy Craig stated this negotiated arrangement would be recommended to the Newton County Board of Commissioners. Notwithstanding the intensive and expensive negotiations, East Georgia

FILLING THE GAP FOR HUNGRY CHILDREN SANDRA BRANDS sbrands@covnews.com
Bad enough to be cooped up in the house during the summer because parents are at work and child care is cost prohibitive. But imagine being stuck inside and not having anything to eat. During the school year, free or reduced lunch programs provide meals to children whose family is struggling, economically. Those breakfasts and lunches are available in June, after school lets out, at summer “camp” school programs. But come July 1, school and camps served by the district are out, working to get ready for the next academic year. Where do children get the meals families counted on between July 1 and July 31? Instead of being a carefree –and much anticipated—break from studies, summer threatens to be a hungry time for some kids. That’s where nonprofit groups, some connected to governmental agencies and almost all connected to faith communities, come in. This summer, as they have in years past, they will provide free lunches to children at “feeding” sites, some outside at park pavilions, some inside in church fellowship halls. Food program began as a personal commitment
Feeding children is personal for Cathryn Lafayette. “When I was a child, my father was killed in a car accident and my mom was the only source of income. When she became very ill, she signed my sister and I up to get free meals at school, but on days when school was out, we didn’t have enough food. “If it hadn’t been for the school programs [on the West side of Chicago], I wouldn’t have had enough to eat,” she said. That experience made her sensitive to the needs of the children in her community,
she said. Eight years ago, she began feeding about 20 children meals she paid for herself. Over the next five years, the number steadily increased as she found more and more hungry children living in the Enclave at Gross Lake subdivisions and Country Walk and Salem Glen mobile parks until, she said, she knew, “I just couldn’t feed them all, so I asked God to help me find a grant.” She turned to the Bread of Lift Development (BOLD) Ministries, another Bright

Covington woman injured in shooting MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com
A 23-year-old Covington woman was injured when her boyfriend accidentally shot her at a residence in Social Circle early Saturday morning, according to Social Circle Police Chief Terry Sosbee. The pair initially reported that Kierra Weaver had been hit in a drive-by shooting, but a subsequent investigation by deputies located the weapon, which was linked to 20-year-old Christopher Smith, a convicted felon. Both face charges for false report of a crime. Smith is also facing charges of aggravated battery, tampering with evidence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. More charges are pending. Weaver was taken to a hospital for treatment of a non life-threatening injury.
TV Land pulls 'Dukes of Hazzard' reruns STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
TV Land has dumped "The Dukes of Hazzard." The network is confirming that reruns of the 1980s action comedy, with its Confederate
flag imagery, have been pulled from the schedule. This marks the latest effort to banish the racially charged Stars and Bars from pop culture after various states began debating whether to remove the flag. Warner Bros., which produced
Lily Salvatore returning to Mystic Falls SANDRA BRANDS sbrands@covnews.com
In the wake of Nina Dobrev’s departure from ”The Vampire Diaries,” last season, producers are bringing Lily Salvatore (Annie Wersching), mother of Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley), back in all her mischief making glory for Season 7. Details are vague, but it’s anticipated that Mama Salvatore will shake things up in Mystic Falls. Crew calls have gone out for the local filming of HBO’s upcoming mini-series, “Undaunhted Courage,” starring Casey Affleck as Meriwether Lewis and Matthias Schoenaerts as William Clark. The mini-series, scheduled for a 2016 release, is based on the book by Stephen Ambrose and tells the story of the Corps of Discovery and its captains as they traveled through uncharted territory in search of a fabled water route to the Pacific. Some of the scenes will be shot in Conyers and the Rockdale area. Crew resumes should be sent to lewisandclarkatl@gmail.com. Everyday heroes needed. A new television series seeks nominations to spotlight someone who has sacrificed for the good of their friends, family and community in some way. The show will reunite the nominee with an item from their past that was gotten rid of, or has been lost. For more information and to speak with a casting producer, email itemsforheroes@gmail.comwith your name, location, a brief description of the person you are nominating and a description of an item. The show is being produced by the same folks who produce “Pawn Starts,” “American Restoration” and “Counting Cars.” A documentary film, The Founders, about the 13 female golfers who founded the LPGA, was filmed at the Candler Park Golf Course on July 7. Produced by the Atlanta-based Eleven 11 Films, the documentary, made in partnership with the nonprofit Women Make Movies, is seeking donations and support. For more information, visit http://www.thefoundersfilm.com/. Stand-ins are being sought for “Miracles from Heaven,” a Christian family movie based on the true story of Christy Mean’s daughter, who miraculously overcame a rare medical disorder. Filming starts in Atlanta on July 13 through Aug. 28. Adam Sandler will be coming to Savannah to film the second of four films he’s making with Netflix. Called “The Do-Over,” the film is about two down-on-theirluck guys who decided to fake their own death, only to find out the people they’re now pretending to be are even more down-on-their-luck. According to the nonprofit FilmL.A., Georgia now ranks third in U.S. film production, coming in behind only California and New York in 2014. For the last few years, prior to the upset, Louisiana had been listed as the number one filming location in the world; it now ranks number seven. Georgia was only two movies away from coming in above California. The 2014 study looked at movies produced by 11 studios—Disney, Warner Brothers, Universal, Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Dreamworks, Lionsgate, The Weinstein Co., Summit Entertainment and Relativity—and 106 movies. The 2015 Summer Film Intensive, a hands-on filmmaking program in the 100 year old Eyedrum facility in downtown Atlanta, begins Monday, July 6 and runs through Friday, July 31, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Artizen Company, in partnership with Eyedrum Art and Music, are sponsoring the program for the second year in a row, giving participants an opportunity to develop and produce original short films with industry professionals.

House Bill 251 procedures for school choice announced STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
After reviewing guidelines provided by the Georgia Department of Education, the Newton County School System has identified eight schools as potentially eligible to receive students whose parents wish to transfer their child under the provisions of House Bill 251. Those schools are: East Newton Elementary School; Heard-Mixon Elementary School; Livingston Elementary School; Mansfield Elementary School; Middle Ridge Elementary School; Porterdale Elementary School; Clements Middle School; and Veterans Memorial Middle School. No slots are available at the district’s three high schools for the 2015-2016 school year. The statute allows Georgia parents to request to transfer their students to other schools in the district as long as there is
classroom space available at the school after its assigned students have been enrolled. A student who transfers to another school pursuant to this law may elect to continue to attend such school until the student completes all grades of the school.
Parents electing to exercise the choice option under HB 251 will assume all costs and responsibilities associated with transporting the child to and from the selected school, if the request is granted. Parents must complete an NCSS HB 251 Transfer Request Form and submit either by hand delivery to the receptionist at the Newton County Board of Education, located at 2109 Newton Drive NE, Covington OR by fax to 770-784-4969. The deadline for submission is 5 p.m., Monday, July 13, 2015. For more information, visit newtoncountyschools.org.

our thoughts Celebrate, remember, unite Birthdays are a time to celebrate, reflect, be with those close to us and look toward another year of growth. Saturday was a chance to do just that for the birth of the United States of America, and boy was it time for a birthday. We hope this Fourth of July gave everyone across the nation a chance to celebrate the events of 1776, reflect on what it took and the sacrifices made to enable us all to be called Americans, and look toward continuing to help the country go down a path that has made it not only a prosperous nation but one of opportunity and freedoms. The events of the past couple of weeks have caused much discussion and even more emotions for a country we believe is at a crossroads. A horrific shooting in Charleston, South Carolina shook the nation’s racial fault line, while a widow spoke not of race but of forgiveness and faith, making us remember the words that helped start this country: “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Those rights are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The nine victims of Charleston were going about their life, in which they had the liberty to believe and practice the religion of their choosing. But the happiness was erased from their loved ones’ lives. A person with evil in his heart walked into Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and took away those unalienable rights. We must honor the nine people who were killed by never giving up the need and will to retain our rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness for each and every American. Days later, rights that were already allowed to much of the nation’s population were given to others in a Supreme Court ruling. It was a movement of love and equality, but also a vote that should make us think on the implications of federal laws out ruling state laws. Much was made of the nation’s social evolution after the ruling on same-sex marriage, but there is more at stake for this country. Will other state laws be superseded? Will those religious freedoms be dulled? Will gun control laws, rulings on marijuana and other issues become decreed by the federal government? We do believe that love will always win. However, once again, we feel the focus should be on America. As a nation we are a melting pot, but we are all Americans. And the largest assimilating factor is that we are all entitled to the rights that our founding fathers put in front of us back in 1776. We hope this Fourth of July reminded everyone of that. For it is a patriot, John Dickinson who said “by uniting we stand, by dividing we fall,” and an Apostle, Matthew who said “Every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.”

In the same way, our ancestors structured society to have people rely on themselves, each other, their local churches and their local governments for help. Now, the same madness sweeping through on marriage demands we get right to polyamory and scrap tax breaks for religious nonprofits. It is not a war on marriage, but a war on a way of life itself. If one dares bring fact into the mix, they are shouted down, boycotted and driven from the town square. There is also a relentless desire to make those who recognize the madness think they are alone. Voices of dissent must be silenced. You must think you are all alone so that you might decide to go along to get along. The media elite are in cahoots with the censors, having picked a side now declared a "fundamental right," and you are not to know others disagree with elite consensus. But you are not alone. Wildfires eventually burn out. The question for you is not whether you take a break from it all and step back to protect your family. The question for you is whether, after you do step back, you prepare yourself to step forward into the rubble, smoke and char to help rebuild civilization once the fire burns itself out.

Instead, the Board of Regents, composed mostly of big contributors beholden to the governor, fired the Foundation for mucking around in what they considered their purview.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Tax increase proves need for better county government Dear editor, Many taxpayers in Newton County recognize that our county remains in a depressed economic situation that is reflected by a reduced tax digest and less county tax revenue compared to a few years ago. The result is that our county government must be managed with much greater efficiency and with very careful, accountable and transparent spending decisions. Over the last several years that has not been the case with our Board of Commissioners (BOC). Questionable spending decisions have been made despite taxpayer concerns about inadequate fiduciary oversight and lack of transparency. Taxpayers simply do not trust the BOC to wisely use additional tax money. Because of the widespread distrust of the BOC, their plan to raise property taxes, solid waste fees and water rates must come with their pledge to citizens that the Board will take immediate, specific and measurable steps to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of county government. More taxes must not equal more wasteful spending. Such steps should include: 1. Develop a multi-year financial and operational plan that will anticipate service demands, set strategic goals and pro-
vide for future expenses; and that will restore the county fund balance to a responsible level. 2. Restructure county government, based on the recommendations of the citizens committee, to clarify the supervisory and management roles of the chairman, county manager and district commissioners. 3. Provide sufficient technical expertise to enable the citizen’s landfill committee to develop a future solid waste plan that includes consideration of alternate waste disposal methods and potential partnerships. Charge the landfill committee to evaluate formation of a Solid Waste Authority to manage future solid waste collection and disposal. 4. Bring all routine legal services in house and establish firm control over future legal costs to bring expenses in line with those of comparable counties. 5. Immediately adopt the recommendations of the purchasing committee, and cancel or re-bid all contracts related to operations of the convenience centers (county dumpster sites) and any other county contracts that were let or extended without bidding. Taxpayers need to be reassured that we are getting the best value for all county services.
6. Stop all spending on the Bear Creek Project until a complete, objective third party review determines it is needed. Cancel the $2 million dollar no-bid contract with Schnabel Engineering for dam design, thereby saving enterprise water funds. Audit all Bear Creek expenses to date and provide a transparent accounting of land bought and services purchased. 7. Determine the infrastructure improvements needed for the county water system with the help of the Newton County Water and Sewerage Authority and the city water departments. Budget for the improvements and get them underway. 8. After taking the above actions, reevaluate the financial need for the increase in the solid waste tipping fee, the convenience center charge and the water rate increase. Conduct market analysis before any fee increases. If the Board of Commissioners and Chairman make a formal pledge to taxpayers to make these improvements, the proposed millage rate and fee increases will be a little less painful for those of us who will have to pay them. Respectfully Submitted, Larry McSwain

Tens of thousands were beheaded by guillotine in a Reign of Terror, and democracy ended with a coup by Napoleon Bonaparte. Unfortunately, that's what always happens when individual rights are not respected. In the 2007 book "The Future of Freedom," Fareed Zakaria showed that throughout history "liberty led to democracy and not the other way around." Democracy is without a doubt the best and only legitimate form of government on the planet. But without a commitment to freedom and respect for the rights of individuals, democracy quickly becomes little more than the tyranny of the majority. In many ways, the tyranny of the majority is worse than the absolute rule of a king. If a majority opposes the rules of a king, there is plenty of support for those working to get around the rules. However, if the majority consistently rules in ways that demean and offend the minority, there aren't many to stand up for the minority. The result is likely to be a witch hunt. So, on the Fourth of July, let's be sure to celebrate Freedom First! Without it, there can be no lasting democracy.

History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing." That was Adolf Hitler. At the heart of the original American ideal is the deep distrust and suspicion the founders of our nation had for Congress, distrust and suspicion not shared as much by today's Americans. Some of the founders' distrust is seen in our Constitution's language, such as Congress shall not abridge, infringe, deny, disparage, violate or deny. If the founders did not believe Congress would abuse our God-given rights, they would not have provided those protections. Maybe there are Americans who would argue that we are moving toward greater liberty and less government control over our lives and no longer need to remain an armed citizenry.

HUNGER
>> FROM FRONT PAGE from the Start partner in Newton County. “Now, we’re feeding up to 4,000 children. I don’t want children walking away hungry.” “We have good children, we need to do something for them,” she said. Currently, she is trying to get help clearing out underbrush on lots she’s been given permission to use, so children will have a place to play ball or run around. She is also hoping to get funding to start a mobile service, delivering meals to the neighborhoods where the hungry children live. No child leaves unfed While the children who qualify for the free or reduced lunch programs are school age, most of the sites will children ages 1 through 18, and sometimes older, if the child is disabled. Like many of those who are committed to seeing that children are fed during the summer, Bea Jackson, who oversees the program at St. Paul’s AME Church on Brown Bridge, will not turn away a child who is hungry. “If you’re hungry and you show up at a feeding site, you can eat,” she said.

East Georgia announced Wednesday that it would move forward with plans to build a private landfill and seek damages from the county following Green Hill's decision to pull its proposal before Wednesday's vote. Opponents of Green Hill P3 far outnumbered the few who spoke out in favor of an amended proposal from the company that would

"As a result of Green Hill's apparent withdrawal of its proposal in light of the Newton County Board of Commissioners intention to pursue some alternative option, East Georgia needs to obtain the compliance letter mandated by Judge Ozburns' ruling and committed by Newton County attorney Tommy Craig." East Georgia is demanding that Newton County hand over the compliance letter ordered by the judge in 2013. This letter should be handed over by July 10, 2015, or East Georgia will make the necessary motions to seek compulsion of compliance and possible sanctions, according to the letter sent to the county's attorneys.

program is gear towards children in kindergarten through 12th grade, “some of the kindergarteners have younger siblings and they are fed, too. We just can’t feed adults.” Lunches will be served throughout July at the church, Monday through Thursday, at noon. The meals are provided by Rock of Salvation Ministries in Porterdale, which is the Newton County partner/administrator for Georgia’s Bright from the Start program [http://decal.ga.gov/]. The church, its pastor, Robin Mays, said, fronts the money for the program costs and is reimbursed by the state. Mays estimates Bright from the Start lunches are feeding 1,200 children in Newton County his year. To be able to receive meals through the Bright from the Start program, an organization must be a nonprofit. Mays and staff members have taken a required two-day training program, learning, in part, about food patterns and the USDA guidelines on what constitutes a nutritious meal. For example, all meals must be served with plain or chocolate fat-free milk. A lunch must contain meat, grains, a serving of fruit and one of vegetables. Similar guidelines are followed for breakfast, with Rock of Salvation
also packs, and dinner. Mays not only provides meals for children in Newton County. The ministry provides meals to nonprofits in Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnet, Rockdale, Franklin, Henry and Monroe counties, as well as Perry Holmes and other housing authority communities in metro Atlanta . In all, ROS will prepare meals for over 5,000 children and she estimates 1,200 will be served to children from Newton County. While the number of children needed lunches continues to rise, she said, the number of sites participating in the feeding programs have decreased from 34 to 24 this year. That doesn’t mean the number of feeding sites have decreased, necessarily, just the number of sites requesting the USDA subsidized Bright from the Start services have dropped. That may be, Mays said, due to the amount of administrative paperwork required. “That’s why a lot of people [who feed children] opt not to do it,” she said. “Bright from the Start is a useful wonderful program and I hope it continues,” she said, “but for many, there are too many rules and regulations making it harder to feed children. A lot of faith communities are looking for ways to feed
have granted the Spring Hill community, which is located next to the landfill, a park with amenities, including a community center. "We feel insulted that Green Hill would think that offering a park, community center and a 50-acre parcel of land would offset them bringing in triple the trash," said Egeniece Lackey, who lives in Spring Hill and recently bought land there to build her "dream home." Lackey went on to say that the local community should not have to pay the price for the "mismanagement" of the landfill or the fact that the county lost the East Georgia lawsuit. "We, the Spring Hill community, demand that you repair and correct the existing problems at the landfill" and explore green options, she said. "If the county is not capable of handling their landfill and their lawsuit, we, the Spring Hill community, want the county to open the process so that companies other than Green Hill can present their proposals on how they would make corrections and handle our fu-
plan in effect on June 25, 1997 (when East Georgia first sought a letter of compliance). The letter claims that the county has delayed or refused to issue the compli-
children without turning to the government. “ To be a feeding site, Jackson said, the application process begins in January. Since over 60 percent of students at Newton County schools are on the free or reduced school lunch program, food service programs like St. Paul’s are eligible to receive meals through Bright from the Start. For the church, though, Jackson said, “It’s a community outreach and ministry to people who live in the nearby community who are need. It’s making sure people who wouldn’t have can have. “We’re all connected,” she said.

Building networks, keeping in touch Though it just opened doors in Newton County in May, Action Ministries has attracted support, primarily from faith communities, for its Smart Lunch, Smart Kids summer program. It works like this: An organization agrees to sponsor a day’s lunch, providing the ingredients for a lunch and volunteers to pack the lunch. Most have volunteers who join Tamara Richardson, Executive Director, and Elizabeth Holcomb, County Coordinator for the Smart Lunch, Smart Kid program, in serving the meal.
So far, supporters have for the program have included Kelly Products in Covington, the Porterdale Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni of Georgia, and seven area churches. Children and their families could learn about the program through flyers distributed in the Covington Mills area. There, meals are being served at the Covington Mills United Methodist Church, which is also providing the lunch, on Tuesdays from 3 to 5 p.m. The meal program was also introduced to the community at a recent Porterdale City block part\sponsored by the city and the police department. At the gathering, Holcombe said, about 120 children were signed up for the program; so far, only 50 have attended. In “ Once word of mouth gets out it’s truly a meal, not anything scary, I think kids will start coming,” Holcombe said. “Some of the children are staying with their grandparents [especially in the Covington Mill area].”’ The children don’t just get lunch, Holcombe said. They also get time to play. And at the Porterdale Pavilion, they’ve also been introduced to the police department’s canine union, and have blown bubbles with officers, used chalk to create pictures
on sidewalks. Even with the efforts of these groups, Mays said she believe that about 40 percent of the children on free or reduced lunches are going unfed. And, she added, she is becoming increasingly more concerned about the families of the working poor. “Low income families get food stamps and subsidized housing,” she said, “but I look at people who are working and make a little more than the eligibility guidelines allow and wonder how can we impact those who might have a house, but can’t turn on the lights? How do we touch them? “Even if I have to step out of my role as a minister or administrator for programs to make sure people are fed, I will,” she said.

ture waste." Lackey then asked those in agreement to stand, leaving very few in their seats. Other speakers accused Green Hill of "divisive" tactics that pit family members against each other in its campaign to gain support in Spring Hill. Those in favor of Green Hill's amended proposal expressed skepticism toward the county based on its history. The Environmental Protection Division has approved a corrective action plan for groundwater and air contamination at the landfill, but the county has made little if any progress towards completing the first step, which must be done by 2017. "It was either Green Hill or the county, and the county has had this problem for 20 years and hasn't done anything," said Charles Johnson. "Whoever comes in, they are not going to do anything for this community." Speaking after the vote, Reverend David Johnson said the only option that had been presented was Green Hill’s, and took issue with what he said was the
commissioners’ failure to communicate. “When you let the people know what’s going on, you don’t have this type of environment,” he said, referring to the evening’s heated exchanges. “When you sit and you’re doing things and don’t return people’s phone calls and keep things to yourself, what do you expect to happen?” Johnson said the community was in need of prayer to overcome the bitterness of the past few months and
find a solution. Tonya Bechtler, chair of the Yellow River Water Trail, said she was "extremely excited" about the board's decision. "The divisiveness and the toxicity of Green Hill has been overwhelming, and it's been a distraction to actually finding solutions to the problems,” said Bechtler. Of East Georgia’s lawsuit, she said: “Newton County doesn’t bow down to bullies.” She also called for new legal counsel to represent
the county. Mayor Arline Chapman of Porterdale, an outspoken opponent of the Green Hill plan, was also pleased with the vote. “I think that the county commissioners heard the voice of the people and they have responded, and that is very, very encouraging,” she said. Neither Tee Stribling of Green Hill nor the Ministers Union, which had threatened to march in support of Green Hill, were in attendance.
ance letters, and as a result, "the period during which East Georgia may recover damages on its filed inverse condemnation claims is being extended." In his letter to Ellis, Bak-
er said that since Green Hill P3 has withdrawn its proposal, East Georgia "plans to move forward with its claims for money, damages and other relief." "We are highly disap-
pointed that the settlement agreement which the County, East Georgia, and Green Hill P3, LLLP worked hard to consummate during the past 12 months has failed," the letter read. "I am hope-
ful that these letters can be useful to us to potentially eliminate the need for further litigation. However, East Georgia will pursue its landfill endeavors just as it has for the past 18 years."
NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The Newton County Board of Commissioners has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase to property taxes by 21.87 percent. All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at the Newton County Historic Courthouse at 1124 Clark Street, Covington, GA, 30014 on July 7, 2015 at 11:00am and July 7, 2015 at 6:30 pm. Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at the Newton County Historic Courthouse, 1124 Clark Street, Covington, GA, 30014 on July 20 at 6:30 pm. This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 12.99 mills, an increase of 2.331 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $125,000 is approximately $81.19 and the proposed tax increase for nonhomestead property with a fair market value of $100,000 is approximately $70.60.

Waffle House robber arrested in Texas metro Atlanta area, including the one robbery in Rockdale. On Feb 2, Cannon entered the Waffle House at 2260 Sigman Road, on the exit off Interstate 20, around 6 a.m. as a customer. He was the only other person in the restaurant besides four employees. He ordered about $30 worth of food to go, waiting about 15-20 minutes as the food was cooked. Once it was ready, he paid for the food, went to a “distinctive-looking yellow hatchback with a solid black hood,” which was later discovered
STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
The suspect believed to have robbed the Waffle House on Sigman Road at gunpoint in February was arrested in the lone star state allegedly for committing another armed robbery. Rodney Cannon, 28, was arrested early Monday morning in Sherman, Texas for allegedly robbing a hotel. He’s awaiting extradition back to Georgia, where he’ll face multiple charges for armed robberies around the
to have been stolen, parked outside and handed the food to a passenger in the car. He then came back into the restaurant appearing like he was going to order more food and instead took out a small handgun and robbed the restaurant at gunpoint. The suspect then got into the stolen car and drove off, heading westbound on I-20. RCSO identified Cannon as a potential suspect by viewing security cameras from the store. They obtained warrants for his arrest two days later.
The department began working with DeKalb County law enforcement and discovered Cannon was wanted for a similar robbery that occurred in DeKalb earlier in the week. In total, Cannon has 10 arrest warrants for him in the metro-Atlanta area, which also includes Gwinnett County. “He's been on the run since,” Camp told The News Thursday. “He probably has 15 robbery warrants in three states now.” Cannon also has a warrant for his arrest from Virginia.

Q&A: Rick Rasmussen
Rams’ head coach speaks on Newton’s summer SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com
Editor’s note: While on vacation in Seattle for the holiday weekend, I called up Newton head coach Rick Rasmussen to talk about how he thought summer went for the Rams’ basketball team. Rasmussen talks about the Rams’ new style of play, how this team compares to his most recent final four team and if they’re a high school copy of the Golden State Warriors. The Covington News: Talk a little bit about how you guys adjusted your style on the fly and how your team played in the summer leagues. Rick Rasmussen: We knew we were gonna be really quick and we knew that we had lots of scoring options. We get the ball down the floor so quickly with all of our guards that we knew that it would be best for us to put pressure on the defense by playing more uptempo. It’s probably the fastest team I’ve had at Newton in the 11 years, probably faster than any team we had when I was an assistant for seven years. We’ve got great passers and great transition scorers. We’ve got guys who can shoot the three. We’re certainly playing to our strengths when we push it as much as we can. As long as that’s what’s best for matching up with the team that night. CN: You guys finished with a record of 30-2? Rasmussen: Yeah, 30-2. That matches the actual season
of my 2009-2010 team that went to the final four and won the region. CN: Do you feel like this team can be as special as that team? Rasmussen: I think offensively we’re a better team. Defensively, rebounding and toughness inside we’re not where that team was. So we’re more explosive offensively and we’re not as good of a rebounding team yet. I think depending on who we play and how many bigs the other team has on the floor and all we’ll adjust our lineup. But with the four-guard lineup we’re not as big and not as strong inside defensively. That’s our area of weakness that we’re gonna keep working on. CN: Going into the season, of course it’ll be a long time from now to October/November, what is the thing that you guys need to get right to be that team that can win the region, or that team that can be a No. 1 or No. 2 seed? Rasmussen: I think we’ve gotta sure up our inside defense. We’ll lift weights and do workouts and try to get a little more physical, a little tougher inside. We’ve gotta be physically tough. If you’re gonna advance in the state tournament you’ve gotta be tough. We had guys like Donovan and Malik last year that were very tough guys, tough customers and they could defend guys that were bigger than them, so that’s certainly something we wanna work on. We wanna work on getting stronger in the offseason like I said, lifting weights and doing workouts, getting a little defensive edge
to us. We’re a really good pressure team but the back of the press and the half-court defense have gotta sure up. CN: I know you’re an NBA fan and we’ve talked a little bit before about the Warriors and things like that. Watching you guys play, I feel like you guys remind of the Golden State Warriors where you’ve got four guards who can shoot and handle the ball, and you’ve got that rim protector in Josh. Is that kind of how you feel you mold your team after? Rasmussen: I think the returners we had and the newcomers we have are what caused our team to play to the style we are, but it does remind me of the uptempo style of Golden State and the different shooters and the flexibility of different guys. We’ve got multiple guys who can score in double figures on a given night so it’s gonna be tough to matchup on us. We just gotta try to impose our will on the tempo of the other team. If we get a team, like Cleveland was, that’s very strong defensively and you can’t run they limit your chances to get in transition. That’s where we have to adjust and find a way to still get good shots and score well and that’s where we’ve got to be versatile. The deeper you go in the region tournament and the state tournament the more you’re gonna find teams that are so good defensively and have so much athleticism inside that they’re gonna try to impose their will on you and that’s where we’ve gotta really improve in being versatile so that if a team doesn’t let us run we can adjust and still compete at a high level in that situation.

Activate Your
SUMMER Fitness ideas to power up your season (Family Features) When short-sleeve shirts, tanks and shorts make their way into your everyday wardrobe, summer has officially arrived. And looking and feeling your best for all of those warm weather activities is important. Busy women know that being active means more than just picking up a few healthy habits; it requires daily dedication. But sometimes despite best laid plans, real life gets in the way. You miss that gym visit or sleep through that workout class. Make the most of your summer days with these tips that are not only fun, but will get you moving, even on the busiest days. Establish a summer schedule. With kids out of school, it can be easy to fall into a more laid-back routine. Fight the urge to turn on the television and create an active schedule with your children. After dinner, have a family walk around the neighborhood or plan for weekend outings to your favorite local nature preserve. Schedule a walking meeting at work. If sitting in an office is part of your daily routine, make a point to be active. Need to go over some items with a co-worker? Avoid booking the conference room, and plan a walking meeting outside or around the building. Getting your heartrate up and taking in some fresh summer air may be just what you need for successful brainstorming on the job. Find motivation in all forms. Seek the help
of like-minded individuals who also want to establish healthy routines. Look online for health and fitness blogs from other women who can share their own journeys toward better health. Or, invest in a wearable fitness device that offers a personalized experience, such as a Mira Fitness tracker, that understands your fitness level and offers tips and inspirational boosts relevant to you. For more information and to check out their blog visit www.mymirafit.com. Plan for an active vacation. Don’t let travel plans justify inactivity. Use your vacation as an opportunity to get moving, and create new healthy experiences. Visiting a historic town or city? Check out a walking group tour to sightsee. Hitting the beach? Try beach volleyball, surfing or stroll beside the water every night. No matter where your travels take you, you can always find a way to be active. Find ways to beat the heat. Don’t let the summer sun be your excuse to stay indoors on those extra hot days. Set your alarm early to get your morning run or hike in before those afternoon temperatures rise. Seek a refreshing, cool workout, such as water aerobics at the gym or paddle boarding at the lake when the temps are soaring. Let the inviting sun rays lure you outside and get moving. You may discover your next favorite workout, and other life hacks for a healthier you.
Cut the yuck for a healthier home (Family Features) Dirt. Grime. Bacteria. Airborne allergens. As hard as you try to keep your home clean, these types of yucky things are an everyday reality. Taking the necessary steps to create a healthy home can not only give you peace of mind, but also help keep your family healthier. “People think that if your home looks clean and smells clean, then it must be clean and therefore healthy for their family. However, when you look closely, you may be shocked by all the ‘yuck’ you find,” said Dr. Roshini Raj, attending physician and a clinical associate professor of medicine at the NYU School of Medicine. “Taking control of your home can make a big difference when it comes to living a healthier life.” Raj suggests these changes for a healthier home: 1. Learn the tooth truth. Most people know to brush their teeth at least twice daily for good oral hygiene, but what they don’t often think about is what is lurking on their toothbrush between uses. Viruses and bacteria can live for weeks on a toothbrush’s surface. Make sure you’re storing your toothbrush properly in an upright, dry place and use an antibacterial toothbrush cover to kill germs. Most only last 60 to 90 days, so make sure to swap out your toothbrush, as well as your cover, regularly. 2. Be air aware. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor levels of air pollutants may be two to five times higher than outdoor levels. Make every breath count and really pay attention to indoor air quality. Use filters
like Filtrete Healthy Living Filters in your heating and cooling systems to pull in and trap unwanted air particles such as dust, pollen, bacteria and viruses, while letting cleaner air flow through. Also check filters monthly and change them at least every three months. If you burn scented candles regularly, use a fireplace or have construction in progress, change your filter more often, as these contribute to poor indoor air quality. 3. Don’t be a track star. Every day, we walk through items like car oil, allergens, pesticides and other toxins. Remove your shoes before you enter the home to avoid dragging them throughout your home. If you have carpeting, take extra care as pollen and other allergens can be brought into the home on your shoes and then harbored in the fibers of rugs and carpets. 4. Here comes the sun. Have you ever felt sluggish after sitting under the artificial lights in your home? Research shows that people who spend more time in natural lighting than artificial have increased productivity and alertness. So open up those blinds and drapes to let natural light shine in. 5. Start a technology detox. In today’s bingewatching culture, it’s all too easy to let that next episode of the hottest show auto play. Remove TVs and computers from the bedroom for more and better quality sleep. You’ll be glad you did when you feel energized and have a more productive day after a solid seven to eight hours of slumber. For more healthy living tips, visit www.Filtrete.com.

BUSINESS
It’s official: Baxalta launches STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
Baxalta Incorporated launched Wednesday as a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to delivering transformative therapies to patients with orphan diseases and underserved conditions. The company officially split off of Baxter International, which announced the plans to
become two companies in early 2014. Baxter International is a $9.4 billion medical products company and Baxalta Incorporated is a $5.8 BioScience business. Baxalta is in the process of building a 162 acre facility in Stanton Springs Industrial Park off Hwy. 278, which includes 54 acres in Newton County. The facility will produce plasma-based treatments Gammagard and Albumin by 2018.
Baxalta plans to launch 20 new products by 2020, leveraging the company’s experienced leadership team, existing global capabilities and footprint in more than 100 countries. As of Wednesday, Baxalta began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BXLT”. “Baxalta launches with a rich heritage in pioneering innovations and strategic partnerships, which positions us well to continue to
develop transformative therapies. What sets us apart is our uncompromising focus on understanding patients’ needs and experiences every step of the way,” said Ludwig Hantson, chief executive officer and president, Baxalta Incorporated. “We are leveraging science and external innovation to spark discovery and work with all stakeholders – patients, healthcare professionals and policymakers - to ensure access and improve standards of care.”

How shopping locally can help you and your community STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
Today’s consumers have more shopping options at their disposal than they did in years past. Though the Internet may put the world at one’s fingertips, more and more shoppers are discovering that buying locally makes for a superior shopping experience. The benefits associated with shopping locally are many, and the following are just a few reasons why shoppers may want to look no further than their own communities when planning their next shopping excursions. Keeps money in the local economy Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well. Save money When factoring in travel time and the cost of fuel, shopping locally makes more sense than driving to a faraway mall. In addition, repeat customers who establish a rapport with a local business owner may find that such owners are more inclined to price match or work with loyal customers to find lower prices through suppliers.
Diversify your home and lifestyle Shoppers who prefer more unique styles may find local businesses cater to their needs better than large chain stores. Larger retailers offer the same products to customers regardless of where those customers live, so a person in California may be decorating his or her home with the same furnishings as a person in North Carolina. But local shops tend to produce more unique items that are not available nationwide. Promote entrepreneurship Small businesses are an essential element to the country’s economic growth. By shopping locally, consumers are showing their support for this important segment of the national economy. Help establish local pride Independent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique. Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighborhood. When travelers want to get a feel for a community, they seek out small, local stores that are much more likely to stock a high percentage of locally-sourced goods. Attract other businesses Private and public sector businesses tend to gravitate around anchor stores. Should a local store be successful, banks, restaurants, salons, and other businesses may move in as well. Shopping locally benefits consumers in various ways, many of which contribute to a healthy local economy.
U.S. unemployment fell to a seven-year low of 5.3 percent and employers hired at a solid pace in June, but other gauges of the job market drew a bleaker picture: A wave of people stopped looking for work, and paychecks failed to budge. The figures released Thursday capture the persistently uneven nature of the recovery from the Great Recession. The job market "remains consistent with a two-steps-forward, one-step-back expansion the U.S. economy finds itself in," said Scott Andersen, chief economist at Bank of the West. The economy gained 223,000 jobs last month, and unemployment edged down from 5.5 percent in May, the Labor Department reported. That is the lowest jobless rate since April 2008, when it was 5 percent. It eventually soared to 10 percent in late 2009 after the recession had done its worst. Yet unemployment dropped this time mainly because many people out of work apparently got discouraged and gave up looking for a job. The government doesn't count people as unemployed unless they're actively searching. In fact, the proportion of Americans working or looking for work slipped to a 38-year low. At the same time, wages have stalled, rising just 2 percent over the past 12 months. The mixed data suggest the Federal Reserve may put off plans to raise shortterm interest rates and end the stimulus effort that began in 2008. Most economists had expected the Fed to make its move in September. "After this report, I think it would make sense to wait until December to start that slow rate increase," said Tara Sinclair, chief economist at the jobs site Indeed and a professor at George Washington University. A Fed increase would lead to higher rates for mortgages, auto loans and other borrowing. The sluggish wage growth suggests that many employers see no need to raise pay to attract or retain workers and that there are more people available for hire than the unemployment rate would indicate.
“
More people are traveling, because more people have disposable income, and we believe that will continue." — Patrick Cimerola, senior vice president of human resources at Choice Hotels
Some quirks of the jobs report might also explain why wages stagnated last month. The government's survey ended relatively early in the month on June 12. As a result, it might have excluded some twice-monthly paychecks, noted John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo. Another sour note in the report was that construction companies failed to add any jobs in June. Manufacturing gained just 4,000 positions. But health care added 53,000, and retailers 33,000. Still, over the past three months, hiring has averaged a robust 221,000 per month. That shows that some employers are confident about consumer demand for their goods and services in the coming months. Patrick Cimerola, senior vice president of human resources at Choice Hotels, the corporate parent of such chains as Quality Suites and Comfort Inn, said the company is raising pay and adding perks to hire workers in marketing, information technology and finance. "More people are traveling, because more people have disposable income," he said. "And we believe that will continue." Americans are, in fact, spending more than they did earlier this year, when the miserable winter caused the economy to contract. The Conference Board said this week that consumer confidence reached the second-highest level since the recession. Auto sales and home sales have jumped to their highest levels since 2007. And the economy is expected to grow at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the second quarter. Yet Greece's debt crisis and a slowdown in China could also weigh on U.S. growth this year.

Church fires common, but usually not the result of arson BRUCE SMITH & RAY HENRY news@covnews.com
As investigators probe church fires including the blaze that destroyed a rural black church targeted by the Ku Klux Klan 20 years ago, the question is spreading through social media: #WhoIsBurningBlackChurches? The answers could likely be no different than what causes other buildings to burn, according to analysts studying the incidents reported by fire departments nationwide. The pastor suspects lightning may be to blame for destroying the Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Greeleyville, which is about 50 miles north of the "Mother Emanuel" church in Charleston where nine people were killed on June 17. The investigation continues, but a federal official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity for lack of authorization to speak publicly early indications suggest arson was not involved. More than half of fires at houses of worship from 2007 to 2011 were blamed on cooking equipment and heating and electrical systems, according to estimates by the National Fire Protection Association. The association based its estimate on data collected by the U.S. Fire Administration and supplemented with survey results. An estimated 16 percent were intentionally set, and some fraction of those were later deemed hate crimes. Those figures on fires at religious structures include a small number of funeral homes. That's a much lower rate than attacks on schools: About half of all school fires are intentionally set.
But it is twice the rate of attacks on homes, where about 8 percent of fires are intentionally set, according to the NFPA estimates. "Perception matters," said Marty Ahrens, an analyst for the fire protection association. "We don't know all the causes of all the fires that have gone on this week. But if the church arsons had not happened so soon after the tragedy in Charleston, that horrible incident, would it have gotten the same level of attention?" While church fires have declined significantly in recent decades, they are not infrequent: Blazes at houses of worship happened, on average, 31 times a week across the nation, according to the data collected during the five-year period ending in 2011. If those trends still hold today, an average of five church fires could be intentionally set each week. By comparison, since the shootings in Charleston, authorities have investigated roughly a half-dozen fires at predominantly black churches in the Southeast, only three of which appear to be arson. So far, no evidence of hate crimes has publicly surfaced. No one keeps a comprehensive, up-to-date tally of church fires in the United States, so it's possible to undercount the incidents. It's difficult to determine whether historically black churches burn more frequently than other churches. The best available government data doesn't distinguish churches by the predominant race of their congregations. White supremacists in the South have burned black churches over the years as a political terrorism tactic. But some attacks on black congregations defy simple racial motives. For example, the task force formed by President Bill Clinton found that 37 percent of the people arrested for bombing or
burning black churches in the 1990s were black themselves. The same task force reported that many arsonists appeared to have nonracial motives, such as covering up other crimes, pyromania and other mental illness. Local and federal investigators said Wednesday that they haven't ruled out any potential cause for the fire at Mount Zion, which started late Tuesday as lightning storms rolled through the area. Churches may face special fire risks. For example, insurers have cautioned that church spires may attract lightning strikes, and churches may pose an easy target for arsonists, since many are vacant outside of weekly worship services. Still, the estimated number of intentionally set fires at houses of worship and funeral homes has trended downward, falling 71 percent from 1,320 in 1980 to 380 in 1998, according to an NFPA analysis. That coincides with a general decrease in all fires at those structures. The Rev. John Taylor, who is in his ninth year as the pastor of Mount Zion, said he immediately recalled the blaze two decades ago when he learned his rebuilt church was on fire again. "Of course we thought about it. We wouldn't be human if we didn't," he said as he stood outside the building's charred shell. But as to the cause of the most recent fire, he said, "I really thought it probably was a lightning strike." Greeleyville Mayor Jesse Parker was encouraging patience as investigators do their work. "We'll just let them do their jobs and let them bring us the results of how it got started and we will accept the findings," he said.
Life can get full! There are so many things clamoring for our attention, demanding our time, thoughts and devotion. We can find ourselves pursuing many things at the same time. Not only do we fail to catch up on anything, we run ourselves ragged trying. If we are not careful, we can find we are soon better suited for the circus as a juggler than we are as Christians living balanced lives. How do we put a stop to the madness? How do we reel it all in, sort it all out, and focus our attention on one thing? Jesus answers those questions with a simple but profound statement: “No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money" (Lk. 16:13). As simple as it is profound, this statement places the responsibility squarely on our own shoulders. Who or what will you really serve? Be honest, and the answer may surprise you. First, remember God looks at our heart, so he is not impressed or fooled by our words (1 Sam. 16:7). Second, we all really do serve something or someone, so knowing who or what you serve is very important because it dictates who you are and what you do. Third, serving two masters really is impossible. Life can get full; we need to simplify it by deciding today who or what our true master is.

A VETERAN'S STORY
SUNDAY, Sunday,JULY July 5, 2015 Page XX 1C
Dereliction of duty or political scapegoat?
“
And Aaron shall cast lots upon two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat.”
TIn biblical times one goat was sacrificed and a second goat, the ‘scapegoat’, was exiled into the wilderness as an atonement to ‘remove the burden of sin’ for others. In modern times, the ‘scapegoat’ is a person unfairly blamed for the shortcomings of others. On Dec. 7, 1941 at approximately 7:48 a.m., the first of two waves of Japanese aircraft swept in from northwest of the Hawaiian Islands to unceremoniously welcome the United States of American into World War II. It was broadcasted as a ‘sneak attack’, a ‘surprise attack’, and in President Roosevelt’s famous words destined to become, ‘a date which will live in infamy.’ In a little over two hours, 21 American warships – including eight battleships — had been sunk or damaged. Of available military aircraft, 188 planes were destroyed and 159 damaged. American casualties: 2,403 killed and 1,178 wounded. As Japan continued to run amok through the PETE MECCA rest of the Pacific and Southeast Asia, COLUMNIST the American public, the press, and the government demanded to know why and how the Pearl Harbor tragedy could have even happened. The scope of the catastrophe was visible, but to many critics the unpreparedness of American military power in Hawaii bordered on criminal. Heads were about to roll and stones were about to be tossed. When protecting an adulteress from executioners, Jesus said, “Let him among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone….” In 1941, Washington, DC was a political caldron of sinners with no qualms about tossing stones to protect their own careers and hindquarters after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Two men were targeted for dereliction of duty, demoted and sacked from their responsibilities, and both officers were denied a court martial each demanded to properly defend themselves: Admiral Husband Kimmel, our Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, and General Walter Short, Army Commander on Oahu. Both commanders shoulder some of the culpability, but they were not the only Pacific commanders caught with their khakis down. General Douglas MacArthur in the Philippines was notified of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor seven hours before the Japanese caught his aircraft on the ground. MacArthur lost the Philippines, had over 70,000 men killed or taken prisoners, yet was awarded the Medal of Honor and went on to become a national hero. Enter Tom Kimmel. As Commander of the Atlanta World War II Round Table, I had the honor to introduce Tom as our guest speaker on June 18. Tom is a noted Pearl Harbor scholar, a former FBI agent, and eldest grandson of our Commander at Pearl Harbor, Admiral Husband Kimmel. Tom’s credentials are impeccable: A graduate of the US Naval Academy, Tom served on three warships during the Vietnam War and attended John Marshall Law School before joining the FBI in 1973. For more than 25 years, special agent Kimmel investigated organized crime in Cleveland, worked with the House Appropriations Committee Investigation and Surveys at CIA Headquarters and supervised the FBI in East Texas. He headed the Labor Racketeering Unit at FBI HQ and the National Drug Intelligence Center in Johnstown, Pennsylvania; served on the President’s Council on Integrity and Efficiency and as the Assistant Agent in Charge of the Philadelphia FBI Division supervising the Foreign Counter-Intelligence and Terrorism Programs during the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. After retirement, Tom served as an FBI consultant addressing major spy scandals in the FBI and CIA. He has appeared on 60 Minutes, Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, War Stories with Oliver North, and the National
— Leviticus 16:8 Press Club in Washington, DC. Tom gave a remarkable presentation in defense of his grandfather plus provided enough food for thought to nurture the 7th Fleet. Convincing and concise, after hearing Tom’s lecture one could immediately join the ranks of Admiral TOM KIMMEL Kimmel’s defenders and supporters. Notwithstanding, to present this story I dug deeper, real deep, using numerous research engines, transcripts, absorbing the details of 5 Pearl Harbor classics on conflicting hypotheses, plus scrutinized all 14 of the notorious 14 coded transmissions from Tokyo to its embassy in Washington, DC from Dec. 6-Dec 7, 1941. The term ‘military intelligence’ has offhandedly been referred to as an oxymoron. Having served in Air Force Intelligence, I have on occasion agreed with that statement. But if one analyzes the calamity of Pearl Harbor, it must be remembered in 1941 our civilian and military leaders did not have spy satellites, GPS, supersonic SR-71 spy planes, up-tothe-minute cable news, cells phones, or Windows 8 to really confuse things. During my first class in Intelligence school we were told ‘don’t believe anything you read and only half of what you see.’ No truer words have ever been spoken, especially when one bears in mind the professional spindoctors infesting today’s political climate. Albeit, dive into the perplexity of eight formal investigations during WWII, the last one a joint congressional investigation beginning in November of 1945, and you’ll take a roller coaster ride of accusations, slurs, split favoritisms, biased reports, lack of common sense, recommendations based on limited knowledge, and even worse…the unlawful destruction of military records. He-said-she-said journalism will not inhabit this article. The irrefutable hard facts will be divulged so the reader can derive his or her personal conclusions, pro or con, as to why only two officers bore the brunt for Pearl Harbor. In early 1941, Adolf Hitler was preoccupied with England and the Soviet Union. No credible evidence exists of immediate plans for Germany to instigate a war with America by striking its overseas possessions or the American heartland. The direct threat lay in the Pacific: Japan. Aware of Japan’s aggressive strategies, the Pacific Fleet was ordered to move from San Diego to Pearl Harbor in the spring of 1941. Pearl Harbor: the massive American fleet sat poised to intervene in the Pacific. To what extent was the fleet protected? A brief list. 1. Four SCR-270 radar units were set up around Oahu. Limited spare parts, poorly trained personnel, the units could not identify friend from foe, and manned between 0400 and 0700 only. 2. Obsolete fighter planes. The Japanese Zero flew circles around our planes. Warned of the Zero’s capabilities, the warnings were deemed inaccurate because it was believed a fighter plane could not do what the Zero was reported capable of doing. 3. Long range patrol aircraft. Kimmel had 48, seven of which were under repair. To cover the area effectively, Kimmel needed about 250. 4. Protected by shallow water from torpedoes. The Japanese made a torpedo to travel in shallow water. 5. The firepower of fleet guns and Army anti-aircraft guns were to protect Pearl Harbor. The ammunition was kept under lock and key. 6. General Short believed the navy was there to protect his assets; Admiral Kimmel believed the army was there to protect the fleet. The above list is an incomplete list. Dozens of accusations, some valid, some manufactured, were hurled at Kimmel and
Short. Yet most of the significant allegations against these men are trivial and pointless when undisputable evidence revealed that neither commander had access to the following information: In late November and early December, 1941, a Japanese spy at Pearl Harbor was ordered by Tokyo to send details on American warships at Pearl, their moorings, depth of the harbor, departures, arrivals, barrage balloons, anti-aircraft positions, number of aircraft stationed in Hawaii, and any relevant information on the defenses at Pearl. This is the type intelligence required by an enemy to preplan an attack; Admiral Kimmel and General Short would have recognized this information as such. The spy’s phone had been tapped, all the information recorded, and passed on to Washington. NONE of the spy’s activities were reported to Short or Kimmel. The most treacherous oversight of all, bordering on foolish negligence by the Washington hierarchy: the Japanese code had been broken by military intelligence, the secret program dubbed MAGIC. MAGIC was the most important top secret intelligence program of the Pacific War. The MAGIC decoding machine was even made available to the British, vis a vis Winston Churchill. So secret was MAGIC, that high ranking personnel, including General Marshall, lied under oath to protect the program. And there sat Admiral Husband Kimmel, Commander of the vital Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, entrusted to defend and protect his country, his men, and his ships. Kimmel’s Pacific Fleet was the only real barrier to halt or curtail the Japanese, an enemy known to be planning an attack somewhere, at some time, and soon. Admiral Husband Kimmel WAS NOT given a MAGIC decoding machine nor even informed of its existence. Admiral Kimmel was politically and militarily blindfolded with his hands tied behind his back. Intelligence, is only good when shared with the people that need it most. To argue that the Commander of our Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor didn’t have ‘a need to know’ is ludicrous, if not felonious. The 1945 Joint Congressional Committee Investigation, after reviewing the MAGIC documents released by the Truman Administration, came to the final conclusion on culpability: Blame should be apportioned among all the principals: The two commanders at Pearl Harbor, plus the Navy and War Departments. It also concluded that Secretary of War Henry Stimson, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Harold Stark, Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall, and Chief of the War Plans Division Brigadier General Leonard T. Gerow, to be culpable for the disaster. An even longer list of minor players did not bode well for the military nor our politicians in Washington, DC. Admiral Husband Kimmel and General Walter Short paid the price for being at the wrong place at the wrong time in service to their country. Scapegoats? You decide. One of Admiral Kimmel’s lawyers wrote to him in 1953, “Pearl Harbor never dies, and no living person has seen the end of it.” However, on May 25, 1999 the United States Senate approved a resolution stating that, ‘Kimmel and Short had performed their duties competently and professionally’, and added that, ‘our losses at Pearl Harbor were, ‘not the result of dereliction of duty.’ Perhaps Strom Thurmond of South Carolina said it best, “Kimmel and Short are the final two victims of Pearl Harbor.”

Public Notice NOTICE OF LOCATION AND DESIGN APPROVAL Newton County P.I. No. 0010331 Notice is hereby given in compliance with Georgia Code 222-109 and 32-3-5 that the Georgia Department of Transportation has approved the Location and Design of this project. The date of location approval is June 26, 2015. This project will construct new pedestrian and bicycle facilities by giving Pace Street a classic road diet within its current fourlane transportation structure. New concrete sidewalks would be constructed for 0.4 miles along both sides of the corridor. After reducing the number of lanes from four to three, 5’ wide dedicated bicycle lanes would be introduced and the roadway milled, resurfaced and restriped. Other enhancements proposed in this project include raised curbs, landscaped center medians in two locations for pedestrian crossings and refuges, pedestrian scale lighting and other street furnishings, ADA-accessible curb ramps, and street trees and shrub plantings. Curb extensions are proposed between Floyd and Stallings in order to define and protect existing parallel parking, and a wide landscape strip is proposed between Stallings and 278 that might be converted to parallel parking as needed by future redevelopment. The project is located in the 9th land district of Newton County. The project length is approximately .4 of a mile long. Drawings or maps or plats of the proposed project, as approved, are on file and are available for inspection at the Georgia Department of Transportation: Christopher Dills, Engineer cdills@dot.ga.gov 1570 Bethany Road Madison, GA 30650 (706) 343-5836
