AT A CROSSROADS BOC forms citizens committee on landfill MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

Newton County has 60 days to come up with a solution to its landfill crisis or face costly litigation and possibly the construction of a private, regional landfill. The head of the East Georgia Land & Development Company announced his intention this week to seek damages and a new landfill permit in response to the county’s failure to approve a settlement.

East Georgia, which recently won a lawsuit against the county, had entered into an agreement with Green Hill P3, a newly formed landfill operator, to drop its case against the county in exchange for the county agreeing to lease its landfill to Green Hill. Under the proposed settlement, the county would have used those lease payments to buy 424 acres of East Georgia’s land where the company had intended to build its landfill.

On Tuesday, the Board of Commissioners responded to public outcry that the deal was moving too fast and agreed to table the vote for two months in order to allow an independent review and citizens committee to scrutinize the deal and propose alternatives.

“That deal for East Georgia no longer exists,” Jim Baker, president of East Georgia, told The News. “I am extremely disappointed in the fact that I was led to believe for the past eight months that the BOC and the county representatives were working with [attorney] Bob Norman on a settlement…I’m not sure what people have been doing for the past eight months.”

“Commissioners act like they just found this out,” he continued.

“We will seek damages from the county, and we also will be seeking our permit [to build a landfill],” Baker said. He added, however, that should Green Hill come back with a counter offer after two months, he would “be open” to hearing it.

County Manager Tom Garrett, who has been tasked with leading the independent review, said he had not heard from Green Hill or East Georgia that the deal was off.

Tee Stribling of Green Hill played down Baker’s rebuff, striking a hopeful note.

“What is imperative now is that Green Hill work with the county and negotiate an agreement that we can then go back and negotiate with East Georgia,” said Stribling. “I am confident that a negotiated settlement can be reached between all parties.”

In regards to the timeline of negotiations, Stribling confirmed that he has been in talks with “an assortment of county officials” since mid-2014.

When pressed as to whom exactly he had been negotiating with, Stribling said, “We had a lot of meetings with a lot of people.”

Commissioner Nancy Schulz said the first she heard of a settlement was in November, and that the final document was only presented a few weeks ago at the solid waste work session.

Green Hill and East Georgia maintain that the settlement would offer a solution to all of Newton County’s landfill problems.

East Georgia bought the 424 parcel, which is located next to the county landfill, in the

County chair to get back full powers MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

The Newton County Board of Commissioners narrowly approved this week a motion to restore the county chair with the full powers invested in the position by the charter, effective January 1, 2017, and to set up another citizens committee to review and update the language of the charter.

“It’s important to clarify to the citizens that the role of the Chairman is the same today as it was when the last election was held and when all of us arrived in office,” said Maddox, who made the motion. “Although tonight should bring closure and a final decision to this matter, the mechanics of implementing these options still need work and a review by a small citizens’ committee under a specific timeline.”

The citizen committee is to report to the board no later than August 1, 2015, so that the board can deliver the changes to the state legislature. Any changes to a county charter must be approved by the General Assembly.

Local resident Wesley Dowdy confirmed that he was selected by Commissioner John Douglas to serve on the committee. The full panel has not been announced yet.

In 2011, three commissioners voted to strip then-chair Kathy Morgan of most of her powers and invest them in the newly-created position of county manager. Since then, elected officials and citizens alike have expressed frustration with the new system, and called for a restoration of the original form of government headed.

Former mayor, others show support of White BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com

The St. Patrick’s Day holiday didn’t keep people from attending a called meeting in Social Circle Tuesday, as city hall’s community room was filled with concerned citizens.

Their concern was of the recent dismissal of City Manager Doug White. The city council voted to dismiss the 13-year city manager, on Feb. 23, after tabling his reappointment decision from January.

White’s last day was to be March 31, until a contingent of supporters, headlined by former Social Circle Mayor Jim Burgess came before the council Tuesday.

“Mayor and members of the City Council, I respectfully request that you reconsider and reverse your action to terminate the employment of Mr. Doug White, our City Manager, at the end of this month,” Burgess told the council.

He then listed six reasons why White should remain in his potion.

Among those reasons were his nearly 20 years of service in Social Circle, as city manager under mayors Frank Sherrill, Burgess

and Hal Dally, along with his tenure in other municipalities and experience managing cities with their own electric and gas systems.

Burgess then listed White’s financial prudence and his high character.

“He is a person of great personal integrity and is highly respected by his employees,” Burgess said. “He has built a strong and professional management team that provides efficient delivery of municipal services.”

White has helped plan and carry out the truck by-pass, a new fire station, expansion of city’s water and sewer system and downtown master plan, Burgess said.

“Of great concern to me with the loss of Doug White at this time could be potential economic damage caused by the reluctance of potential industrial or commercial projects to locate here if there is turmoil in our city.”

The city council moved to extend White’s time as city manager another 30 days.

White’s time at Social Circle hasn’t gone unnoticed by other cities either, as the Americus Times Recorder reported earlier this week that he is one of two finalists for the city manager position in Americus, along with former Kennesaw City Manager L. Steve Kennedy.

Second week of CPD’s Citizen’s Academy includes tasing demonstration BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com

The second week of the Covington Police Department’s Citizen’s Police Academy included education on how patrol units function and a hands-on Taser demonstration for willing participants.

Sergeant Asher Dozier began the evening with an in depth explanation of how the Police Department utilizes its officers for patrol, breaking the city into four zones and dedicating a certain number of officers to each zone.

Dozier also explained the gear that each officer wears including a recording device.

The second portion of the program included a demonstration by Sergeant Allen Martin of the Taser X2 carried by Covington Officers.

The Taser delivers a current that replicates brain waves used to control muscle movements, essentially jamming the nervous system and rendering the person getting tTased alert, but unable to move.

The biggest advantage to using a non-lethal Taser is the reduced number of injuries to both officers and those they are trying to detain.

“Tasers give officers the greatest compliance from a non-lethal weapon we have ever had,” Police Chief Stacey Cotton said. “It has greatly reduced the injuries sustained to both officers and citizens because it takes the physicality of subduing someone almost entirely out of the equation.

“Unfortunately, there are myths about the Taser being lethal that just aren’t true. Fortunately, we can use tools like the Citizen’s Academy to help us dispel those myths. Every Covington officer must be tased before they are permitted to carry a Taser.”

The Taser delivers approximately 10,000 to

15,000 volts but an extremely low amperage, which is what can cause fatalities. Immediately after the current from the taser is stopped, the recipient is essentially unphased physically, but typically has a different mental outlook on the situation.

“A 110 volt outlet delivers 16 amps,” Lieutenant Mike Tinsley said. “A Christmas light delivers 1 amp, which can actually be fatal. The Taser only delivers .0036 amps so it is essentially harmless to the human body.

“As far as the voltage goes, the Taser delivers approximately 10,000 volts, but to put that number in perspective, the static electricity you get from walking on carpet can produce more than 15,000 volts.”

Approximately 8 people in the 20-person class volunteered to be tased or ‘take a ride’ as it is affectionately known as by law enforcement officers.

“It was probably the longest three seconds of my life,” participant Trey Sanders said.

“It got worse with every passing second, but after the experience I can certainly see why it is such an effective tool for officers.

Your muscles lock up but you are very aware and you can’t do anything but wait for the seconds to pass. Immediately after the first tase is over, you feel completely normal, but I can’t imagine anyone not complying with the officer’s requests.”

The Covington Police Department has been equipping officers with Tasers for nearly 10 years and just upgraded from the Taser X26 to the Taser X2. The Taser X2 provides the ability to tase two people at once and relies on a computer in the Taser to deliver differing amounts of voltage depending on numerous variables.

A Taser X2 with cartridges and battery costs approximately $1,200.

Suspect who held Covington resident at gunpoint arrested MARTIN RAND III news@covnews.com

After five years, the Rockdale County Sheriff ’s Office has the final suspect of an armed robbery case in custody.

Didro Manasee, 33, was booked into the Rockdale County Jail Saturday, after “he went on the lam” since 2010 when he allegedly helped three other people rob a Covington resident at gunpoint.

RCSO spokesperson Cpl. Michael Camp says that Manasee, a resident of Schenectady, Georgia five years ago, was probably arrested by another agency and then transferred to the Rockdale County Jail but couldn’t say for sure at the time.

The other three people involved in the case were arrested within a month of the robbery, have served their time in jail and have already been released, says Camp.

Kirstie Lightner, 26, and Phillip Lucas, 25, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, and both received time served. Jonathan Lightner, 26, was sentenced to four years in prison, with six months of probation.

According to the deputy’s report, the 28-year-old victim was held up during the night hours of Jan. 3, 2010 after he dropped off Kirstie Lightner at 1701 Sugar Plum Court in Conyers so she could retrieve a jacket that he left with her. “(The victim) parked the vehicle in front of the house and waited while Mrs. Lightner went inside to retrieve the jacket,” the deputy wrote. “While (the victim) was waiting two black males approached the vehicle opened, the car door and stuck a handgun into (the victim’s) chest.”

The two men took the victim’s wallet and a “small amount of cash” from his pocket. After they took the items, both men entered the same residence as Kirstie Lightner.

The victim got back into his car and left the scene.

Manasee involvement with the incident isn’t clear as of yet. He’s being charged with armed robbery.

Rash of car break-ins on North Links Drive BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com

Several citizens on North Links Drive found that their vehicles had been broken into Sunday as a rash of entering autos was reported to the Covington Police Department.

Five incidents involving cars being rummaged through were reported beginning shortly before 3 p.m. The first two were at 9171 and 9176 North Links Drive. At the former, the victim said someone entered both his vehicles, leaving the doors barely closed. When the vehicles’ owner opened the doors he found items scattered throughout, with the console and glove compartment opened, according to reports. He claimed there was a $10 bill missing and no damage.

At 9176 North Links Drive, a Covington Police Department Officer noticed the front side door of a black Cadillac was opened. After requesting the owner check the vehicle to see if anything was taken, he noticed items were scattered around the interior, with the glove box open and an empty Magellan Roadmate GPS box in the backseat.

According to reports officers in the area were flagged down by someone stating their vehicle had been entered during the night. The victim, on 10123 North Links Drive, said he found the exterior door barely closed, and when he opened the door found items scattered throughout the car. The glove box and front console were also open.

At 9149 North Links, a victim reported to police she opened her garage door Sunday morning and noticed her mom’s Kia in the driveway had the interior light on.

According to reports she walked over to the car and noticed the center console was open and the interior looked like someone had gone through it.

In all instances the cars were unlocked.

ALCOVY EASTSIDE NEWTON

Vals & Sals

Alcovy High School senior Alex Yang was extremely proud of himself when he was named valedictorian of the school’s 2015 graduation class. It was a goal of his since the start of his senior year.

But, before his senior year, he didn’t pay too much attention to the class rankings.

Instead he kind of just fell into the top spot. “(it was) not really planned. It kind of just happened,” Yang said. “Earlier this year when I did find out my rank, then I just said, ‘OK, well let’s just do it because I’m already number one.’”

Although, it wasn’t a surprise the 17 year old found himself in the top spot. Yang, an athletic student and member of several high school clubs, always strives to be the best at what he does.

He approaches his academic studies in the same way.

“I think (it’s) just my personality,” he said. “I always like to go above and challenge myself. Like last year, I took AP classes, to get those grades for college.”

Taking accelerated courses and participating in after school activities was a true balancing act for Yang.

“A lot of times I do find it challenging, because sometimes it’s hard to stay after school when you have a test the next day,” he said. “Somehow, I find a way to balance everything and do it.”

The balancing act will have to continue for Yang, who plans to continue do extracurricular activities on a college campus next school year.

He’s narrowed his choices down to two

ALCOVY schools but hasn’t made a final decision yet. Whichever one he picks, he’s going to major in computer science with the idea to program computer software that improves technology on a global scale.

“Technology is globalizing. It’s going all around the world, so if I can contribute to that, then I can help people,” he said.

Helping others, especially those less fortunate is something that Yang, the third oldest of six siblings, does quite often even now. Around the holidays, the Newton County native would go to homeless shelters and helped the less fortunate.

“I always feel like you have to give to those that are less fortunate than you,” he said. “You got to give to them so it will inspire them to become something of themselves.”

The people that inspire Yang are his parents, teachers and all his friends that push him to be better.

Alcovy’s salutatorian, Elise McDonald, feels very accomplished about her class ranking because she works really hard to succeed.

McDonald wasn’t paying attention to the class rankings until her junior year of

school, when she found out how close to first place she actually was.

“I found out that I was number four,” she said. “I thought, ‘If I really tried, I might be able to make it higher.’”

Trying harder wasn’t easy. McDonald was already a drum major in band and part of several clubs and programs.

“Yes, it was very challenging,” she said.

But she preserved and powered through the school years and now has earned the title of salutatorian.

Her mother, who’s very proud of McDonald, wasn’t at all surprised by her accomplishment. It’s understandable because McDonald claims her determination and passion for learning comes from her mother, who’s an art teacher at Eastside High School.

“I’ve always been a self-motivated person, but I think it’s my mom who installed the need for education in me,” she said. “If I wanted to get to college I needed to get scholarships,” Now, McDonald, who’s spent all her teenage years living in Newton County, is on her way to the University of Georgia, where she plans to get her bachelors and masters degrees in wildlife biology. After school, she plans to work for Fish and Wildlife, an organization that focuses on preservation marine animals.

McDonald has been in love with aquatic animals since the days when her grandfather use to work at Fish and Wildlife.

“He taught me everything about fish and wildlife, and he grew that passion in me,” she said. “It’s the only thing I ever wanted to be.”

NEWTON

EASTSIDE Anna Davis believes much wasn’t expected of her academically.

The 18-year-old now has everyone looking up at her as she sits atop her graduating class as the valedictorian for Eastside High School in 2015.

“I’m just pretty much incredibly proud to be valedictorian because it’s a great honor in my family,” Davis said. “In fact, no one really though I would amount to much so just by being in this position is really great.”

With Davis being born deaf in both ears the obstacles were stacked against her from the moment she took her first breathe of life, but she never let that challenge deter her from believing in herself.

“That’s pretty much the reason why no one expected me to amount to anything,” she said. “But it hasn’t really been too much of an issue. I just work hard in school, and here I am.”

Davis, who’s been working to be the school’s valedictorian since her sophomore year, has known she’s had an opportunity to win the top spot since after her junior year of high school.

Still, that didn’t stop her mother, who’s a teacher at Mansfield Elementary School, 45 East Third Avenue, Mansfield, from crying tears of joy when she heard the news.

Davis was absent from school the initial day the names were released and didn’t find out she was the valedictorian until her mother came home.

“My mom came home and she was just balling, and I didn’t have my ears on, but I probably I would’ve understood her in the first place,” she said. “I’m thinking, ‘Oh my god. Someone died.’ Then, I see her mouth the words you’re valedictorian, so I freaked out. I think a lot of my happiness was just the relief that no one had died.”

Her father and older brother are also extremely happy for Davis.

After high school, Davis has plans to enroll at the University of Georgia (UGA)

with double majors in Physics and Latin, a foreign language that she’s studied since her freshman year. Not too bad for a girl who much wasn’t expected.

“I’m not exactly sure what I want to do after (college graduation).” Davis said. “I could work for NASA or another aerospace company. They’re s lot I can do, but I’ll wait until I reach that point before making any final decisions.”

Similarly, Eastside High School 2015 Salutatorian Evan House calls his position a great achievement.

“I’m pretty proud of myself because, you know, I’ve been working for it since freshman year,” said the 18-year-old. “I like that I can still do that while also playing three sports.”

House, who’s been into playing sports since he was five and started kicking a soccer ball, has played at least two sports, including baseball, football and swimming, every year of his high school career. His junior year was a true test as he participated in all three sports during the same school year.

“It wasn’t too bad,” he said. “You just got to be motivated and do your sport. Then when you get home, you got to study and do your homework.”

House says he gets his work ethic from his mother, a middle school teacher who raised him, his older sister, along with his stepfather.

“My mom helped me out a lot,” said House. “I have her work ethic. I get everything done.”

House may also join Davis at UGA, but hasn’t made any final decision on where wants to go to school as of yet. Wherever he goes, Davis, who says he has very good memory, plans to major in History because it’s “a great gateway to a law degree.”

He too studied Latin at Eastside for four years and may do that as double major as well, but his second major will be dependent on whichever school he chooses.

Newton County High School senior Ian Cole isn’t worried about much these days.

The 17-year-old is months away from graduating and has already been accepted in the college of his choice, but there is one more thing Cole needs to do before he can wave goodbye to high school life.

Cole has been named the valedictorian of his high school class and with that comes the infamous valedictorian speech he must give to his classmates at the graduation ceremony.

Cole, who hasn’t starting writing his speech yet, is feeling a little nervous about it.

“I don’t really do a lot of public speaking,” said Cole. “I’m not used to giving speeches, so I’m definitely nervous about it.

The annually speech even has Cole’s father slightly nervous.

“My dad is happy. He’s just worried about me having to give the speech,” said Cole. “I think he’s sort of playing about that, but he didn’t seem too excited about me having to give a speech.”

But Cole thinks with a little bit of practicing reciting his speech and getting in the right frame of mind, he’ll be OK. “It’s mostly just about getting into the idea,” he said. “I’m working on that.”

Other than the giving the speech, the experience of being named the valedictorian has been a bit underwhelming for Cole. While being at the top of the class is something he pursed close to the end of his sophomore year, over time it “just seemed to happen.”

“It’s not too big of thing for me, but a lot of people congratulate me for me for it.

I just do the work like I’ve always done,” Cole said. “I wasn’t really expecting it, but then people kept saying it would be one of three people.”

Whatever butterflies he may be feeling is well worth it.

Cole’s family, including his father, mother and older brother, has always pushed him to do well in school. Not to be valedictorian but because doing well would open more doors to a better future.

Now, Cole is reaping the benefits of

those rewards. He’s already been accepted to the University of Georgia and is anticipating being a college freshman.

He’s planning to major in scientific and medical illustrations.

“I like art and science,” said Cole. “I didn’t want to focus too heavily on a field that was just science and shy away from the arts, so I wanted to look at something that would do a little bit of both.”

Newton High School’s salutatorian, Brittany Webb, hasn’t chosen a school for higher education yet, but she’s hoping to hear back from her top schools in March.

The 17-year-old is fascinated by math and sharks, but isn’t sure which subject matter she should purse full-time.

“I think I want to major in math and minor in biology because I really love statistics and I really love sharks, so I don’t know what I want to with my life because I really want don’t want to give either one of them up,” said Webb.

While her collegiate future is still up in the air, like Cole, she isn’t too estatic about being the salutatorian of the school.

“It’s pretty cool. I mean I’m not like jumping off the walls,” said Webb about her position. “It’s a thing that happened.”

She once had aspirations to be the valedictorian but determined it didn’t matter whether she was first, second or third in the final results.

“The colleges I’m going to it’s not going to make much of difference to them either way,” she said. “Ultimately, it didn’t matter a whole lot. I mean it’s cool, but that’s all it is.”

While Webb isn’t making a big deal about her status, her friends and family, her father, mother and older brother, didn’t get that memo.

Her friends joke with her that she should’ve been number one, and Webb’s father blames her secondary position on an internship she worked.

Unlike Cole, Webb is feeling the pressure of having to give her speech at graduation.

“I think I’m just going to wing it,” she said about her salutatorian speech. “I feel like I’m more genuine when I do it that way.”

County employees see salaries increase at a fraction of lawyers’ raises MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

Newton County’s legal fees continue to soar above budget, as commissioners approved more than $83,000 in payments to longtime County Attorney Tommy Craig’s firm for the month of February alone.

According to the most recent financial report, the General Fund has reached 120.7% of its legal budget, just more than halfway through the fiscal year.

Craig dismissed budgetary limits at a public Board of Commissioners meeting last month, comparing the county’s legal defense to being “at war.” According to the county’s finance department, Craig has increased his rates and those of the attorneys working at his firm by 13% since FY2013. Senior county employees received between 1 and 2 percent raises for FY2015 after several years of stagnation.

None of the commissioners that could be reached said they were aware that Craig has increased his rates. The county does not have any written contract with Craig that would include hourly rates.

Commissioner John Douglas, who has pinned his fiscal conservative credentials to a strong anti-tax stance, offered “no comment” on Craig’s raise. Craig contributed $2,000 to Douglas’ state Senate reelection campaign in 2008, public records show.

Neither Commissioner Lanier Sims nor Chairman Keith Ellis returned e-mails and phone calls for comment.

Commissioner J.C. Henderson said Craig’s rates were within the range of other local attorneys.

Commissioner Levie Maddox wrote in an e-mail that the increase in Craig’s fees “is an item that I’d have to look at a bit further to really comment on.”

“We must get a handle on our overall expenses in EVERY area, that absolutely includes legal,” he wrote. “This has to be done with a rational approach however; as we cannot just drop the things we are making progress on.”

Commissioner Nancy Schulz confirmed that Craig’s rates

LANDFILL

>> FROM FRONT PAGE 1980s, and recently won the right to apply for a landfill permit. Under the settlement, East Georgia would have agreed not to seek damages or build a new landfill, while Green Hill would have taken over operation of the county landfill, which is costing the county millions and needs to be upgraded to address air and groundwater contamination.

The proposal, however, has faced pushback from the public, particularly the residents of the Springhill community, which is located next to the landfill.

One of the ways Green Hill plans to make the landfill profitable is by opening it up to waste from anywhere in Georgia, and disposing of at least 1000 tons a day—

four times what the county currently disposes on a daily basis. Residents have voiced concern over the environmental impact and affect on property values, as well as the loss of accountability or control if the government were to lease the landfill to a third party.

The Springhill community, which is predominantly African American, has vowed to seek out its own legal representation if needed, and community leaders continue to organize around the issue.

Thy Brothers and Sisters’ Keeper radio program is planning a sunrise prayer service around the landfill on Easter Sunday morning, from Mote Road to the Bypass Road.

Speaking at Tuesday’s meeting, Commissioner Levie Maddox, who represents the district where the landfill is located, sought to assure residents

were never discussed during his successive reappointments, and expressed frustration with the current approval process.

“If we’re going to spend $23,000 of taxpayer money, there needs to be authorization on the front end,” said Schulz, referring to one invoice in particular that covered three days of work, including a trip to Savannah by two of Craig’s attorneys.

“I just don’t appreciate looking through a check registry and finding out the information after it’s been done, and as a sitting commissioner not having been involved in the decision making process,” the commissioner said.

Schulz is preparing to hold a committee meeting next week to discuss tightening the language of the personal services section of the county purchasing policy, which would affect how the county engages legal services.

“There is no scope of work and no formal budget proposal for rates or cost of work performed,” she said of the relationship between the board and the county attorney.

“That is one of the reasons I want this purchasing policy to address that,” she continued. “Any time we are expending any money, even for professional services, we need to have a scope of work and rates identified and a proposal on how much it’s going to cost us.”

A report by The News found that Craig’s invoices were approved by the county manager with little or no oversight by elected officials.

“The checks would have my signature on them, but I would not have seen those invoices,” Chairman Ellis said at the time.

According to the finance department, the rates of Craig and Jenny Carter went from $195 per hour in FY2013 to $220.95 per hour in FY2015, while the rates of Banks Craig, Andrea Gray and Lara Benz went from $150 per hour in FY2013 to $169.95 per hour in FY2015.

On February 17, Craig brushed off concerns that the county was already over its legal budget, saying “We don’t have any way to predict on the front end what the [costs] are going to be.”

“It costs what it costs,” he said. “Sorry if we’ve exceeded the budget, but I’m not going to apologize.”

that the board was responsive to their concerns.

“After reflecting on comments over the last week, from citizens and business owners, it is important to say clearly that this Board has listened to their concerns and will apply those concerns as we move forward,” Maddox said. “I believe the citizens and the overall community recognize that there are significant financial challenges within our solid waste management model.”

“But, most importantly, the citizens do not believe the current proposal will dramatically improve our situation and want other options explored.”

Commissioner John Douglas proposed the formation of a citizen committee to research the issue.

The citizen committee will include one citizen appointed by each commis-

The motion passed 4-1, with Commissioner J.C. Henderson dissenting in favor of an immediate ‘no’ vote.

Stribling said his Green Hill team was “disappointed” in the outcome, but added, “We understand the process.”

Craig’s firm billed the county more than $1.1 million for the 2014 calendar year while owing millions in federal income tax and penalties.

THE MAN FROM ENGLISH GAP part II

M

arch, 1966 - Amended excerpts from ‘Vietnam Sky Soldiers’ by Wayne English. “The Huey crashed nose first into the earth and you could see the door gunner bracing for impact. The engine was still running while the chopper seemed to wallow around before the rotor blades snapped off. Pieces of rotor blades were flying through the air.

Then we started receiving small arms fire along with artillery and mortars all around 2nd Battalion’s perimeter. The noise was thunderous, the loudest of any battle we had fought so far. Lead was flying everywhere. I took cover behind the massive root system of this huge tree but rounds hit beside my legs and bark was flying off the trunk. I moved to the other side but continued to draw fire. Then I realized snipers were in the trees.”

Almost 50 years later: The new book kept Wayne so captivated he paid no attention to the heavy rain beating the roof nor the distant rumbling of things to come. His wife, Linda, slept quietly next to him, exhausted from the daily never-ending farm choirs of English Gap. Unexpectedly, a bolt of lightning exploded beside the farmhouse as if an NVA 122mm rocket had found its mark.

PETE MECCA Wayne grabbed his wife with one COLUMNIST hand; a shotgun with the other. “Get down! Get down!” he screamed, dragging his stunned spouse halfway down the stairs. Linda English had been through these episodes before, not knowing if her husband would recover, shoot up the farmhouse, or possibly shoot her.

Experience and empathy usually saved the day. Linda calmly said to her husband, “Wayne, I don’t know where you’re going but you may want to put on your clothes first.” Naked, on a staircase with a shotgun in one hand, his spouse in the other, smoothed his passage from flashback to reality. Linda understood: before they married, Wayne had insisted she attend his PTSD meetings so his future wife would comprehend what she was getting into.

Pick your war: The Civil War to WWI to WWII. Korea to Nam, the Gulf War to the sizzling sands of Iraq to the cold mountains of Afghanistan, all nothing more than valueless real estate of rocks or jungle or sand or snow. Acreage obtained by blood then abandoned, paid for with lives, body parts, psychological damage, and a lifetime of unpleasant visions. Politicians fail; swords are rattled; the young pay the price. Heroes are buried; the survivors come home. The affliction has been described in eerie if not droll axioms: trench disease, shell shock, battle or combat fatigue, nervous disease, Irritable Heart, exhaustion, nostalgia, stress response syndrome, estar roto (to be broken), and the now accepted catchphrase: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Pick your label, but the symptoms are the same: anger, depression, a survivor’s guilt, inability to cope with ‘normal’ life, fear of crowds, fear of commitment, a fear of living. The claim has been made if a person is not somewhat crazy after surviving continuous combat then sanity may have been an issue before entering the military.

Not so with Wayne English. He said, “I grew up hunting fox and coon, so I knew how to get around in the woods, reference points and such. The jungle is different, but my background as a woodsman did help so that’s how I got stuck with a radio on my back. My first 6 months was bad enough, but in my last 6 months l lost 4 FOs (Forward Observers) and 2 RTOs while serving as FO for recon.”

Excerpt from his book: ‘The last few months I spent with recon I served with Lt. Carnes and Sgt. Powell. I was left in the jungle on an operation 14 days past the date I was to go home. The Battalion Commander gave me papers to clear the post so I could catch the Freedom Bird home.’

Wayne English survived over 20 search and destroy operations with the 173rd, rocket and mortar attacks, booby traps, and choppers peppered with AK-47 rounds. He did his duty; that duty was over, now began the battle at home against a rigid governmental bureaucracy, an apathetic nation, and himself.

1966 – 1986: The Troubled Years: “I came home and worked for Dad, he was a contractor at the time,” Wayne recalled. “But I was having a lot of problems readjusting, getting my head straight. I got a janitorial job because it

kept me occupied but away from people. I landed a big job with a big J.C. Penney store, $800.00 a week; that was great money back then. I was isolated, kept to myself, no altercations. Problem was my wife and 2 daughters fell victim to my isolation, too.”

Religion proved no cure. “I studied the Bible with religious groups, the Baptists, Jehovah Witnesses, trying to get my faith back. I was seeking an understanding of why God allowed certain things and needed to get in touch with Him. Things were falling apart. I left my wife and kids. I didn’t see them again for 10 years. A second marriage lasted 9 months. Then I chose to get away.”

1981 - The deep blue sea beckoned his isolation. “I acquired an off-shore Captain’s license and worked the offshore oil fields, did some crabbing and shrimping….it was good work and I was by myself. God makes you look real small on the ocean; you are only the thickness of the hull from extinction.”

Undercover work: “I went undercover with the DEA, fighting cocaine, pot…I liked getting the bad guys.

I worked in Europe for a while, but the people had no drive, no initiative, I couldn’t take it. Belgian NATO proved interesting, along with their Secret Service counterparts, trying to stop a Basque Terrorist counterfeit operation. Did that for eighteen months. I fit in well with the ‘hate America’ crowd because of my Nam experience and was doing great undercover work until word got out the Basque Terrorists had caught on and put me on a hit list.

It was time to come home.”

1986, a day of reckoning: Wayne enters the VA Hospital suffering from acute severe delayed PTSD. “I went in with anger issues but the more I saw the angrier I got. What I saw at the VA and the way veterans were being treated made me gnash my teeth. I was diagnosed and placed on disability, signed the papers and thought that was it. Well, the $42,000 back pay was refused because they said I forgot to sign one paper. We enter for help, not to become proficient at paperwork. This went on for 2 years. Then I met Linda.”

Linda Garrard was teaching American History at Jackson High School when Wayne English entered her life. She recalled, “I instructed my students to write one paragraph about Vietnam and asked if anyone knew a Vietnam veteran that could talk to us. Well, I’d seen this guy escort his daughter at homecoming court and on the sidelines during games. I thought he was good-looking. Lo and behold, I get a call from this guy Wayne English. He loved history also, so we talked for hours, and I don’t even like to talk much.”

Wayne interrupted, “Let me say this, she does love to talk, so much so people think I’m shy.” With about 10 people surrounding the kitchen table during the interview and even more in the living room, Wayne’s comment caused an unscheduled five-minute break to recover from the hilarity.

Linda continued, “We could sit here for hours discussing the problems at the VA, but I think it’s important to focus on English Gap.” Wayne picked up the story, “Of course Linda and I married. I found this piece of bottom land, flat, high grass and woods, and took Linda to see it. We sat on a big rock and decided this piece of God’s green earth had to be the right place to help veterans get a fresh start.”

The veterans of English Gap: Even before construction commenced on the farmhouse in 1991, Wayne and Linda English resolved to dedicate their lives to combat veterans in need of a helping hand. They met a veteran at the VA in need of a ride home, they called the brown water Navy Vietnam vet, ‘Swabbie.’ Wayne recalled, “The guy’s ‘home’ was a cardboard box on the streets of Atlanta. Swabbie was a civil

engineer, living in the streets. We brought him to our home, been bringing them home ever since.”

With the farmhouse completed in 1992, Wayne got in touch with an old buddy from Texas. “He came to live with us,” Wayne said. “We worked non-stop until he received his social security and 100 percent disability. Linda and I thought he would be the last one. We missed that assumption by a wide margin.”

Army veteran Mark Rutledge and his lovely daughter Jamie Marie live in a cabin at English Gap. Mark said during an interview, “We love English Gap; they saved my life. It’s peaceful. Strangely, I would go back doing what I did in the Army in a heartbeat.”

Josh (not his real name) lives with his girlfriend at English Gap. Josh had over 50 confirmed kills as a Marine sniper while serving tours in Bosnia and Afghanistan. His spotter was wounded in Bosnia. A NATO ally left them behind to fend for themselves. Josh carried the wounded spotter on his back for six miles, all the while feeling the life slowly drain from his buddy. Attending church regularly has helped, somewhat.

Another brown water Navy veteran lives in one of the cabins and is a certified medicine man of the Sioux Nation. He has endured the Sun Dance 4 times. A sweat lodge is nearby.

Norm (not his real name) is the builder. Give him a hammer and nails and a few supplies: presto, instant cabin.

Norm served in the Navy on the destroyer USS Frank D. Evans. On June 3, 1969, the Evans was off the coast of Vietnam with an allied contingent when wrong turns and inexperience caused a night collision with the Australian aircraft carrier Melbourne. The Evans was sliced in half. Her bow drifted off and sank in less than 5 minutes, taking 74 men with her, including all the sailors in Norm’s gun crew.

Another veteran at English Gap was diagnosed with PTSD after his first tour in Iraq. He served 4 more tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, all on anti-depressants. A neighbor’s son served 2 tours as a sniper. Once home, still suffering from brain bleeds, he lived in the woods in a tent behind his father’s house for over 4 years. The father visited his son often just to hold him. Two of Linda English’s former students from Jackson High School live at English Gap. Donations to keep the farm operable are always appreciated, but more than anything else English Gap needs materials: The timber, hardware of all types, windows and doors, electrical supplies, cabinets, insulation, even a sink or two.

They have the labor: hard-working honest veterans, they just need the support.

Security is not a problem. Wayne said with a grin, “A security company called with a sales pitch. I told them our farm was inhabited by combat veterans; why the heck would we need any security.”

our thoughts Election smearing There has begun a stirring of potential political candidates for the 2016 election, we know this because already there is already a sense of mud being mixed in order to smear folks.

Unfortunately this has become the standard in recent elections, and what this type of politicking does is blur what the real issues are.

As a result, we end up with folks in elected office who have absolutely no right to be in those positions.

We have a few characters in office locally who were elected, and continue to be elected, because their constituents either do not care , do not read or are swayed by the character assassination’s that are now prevelant.

We urge anyone who runs for local office to refrain from running a campaign that concentrates on throwing mud and other debris at their opponent and instead make every effort to communicate their beliefs and visions to the voters who vote.

We also urge voters, who have an even bigger obligation, to take time and first meet the person you are going to vote for and then to make sure you make every effort to understand the candidate’s vision before you pull the lever on voting day.

We ask you for the sake of our city and county to not just go and vote for someone because of their color or their party affiliation, but to do yourself and all of us a favor and take the time to be informed.

We promise you that we will make every effort to see that you are.

‘A great week for the children’ It was a great week for the children of Georgia. Not only did my bill to protect teenage girls from having their phone number put on a pornographic website (“Kelsey’s Law”) pass unanimously, but a Cyber Bullying measure by my fellow Newton delegate Rep. Pam Dickerson also passed.

Overall, there were many bills to protect children including the “Hidden Predator Act” which lengthens the amount of time a victim may bring a sexual abuse perpetrator to civil court. This bill moves Georgia from the fourth worst in the nation to where most states are now. There was also a bill that requires child care givers to immediately report suspected child abuse to the authorities.

letter to the editor

County water issues remain “muddy” Dear editor, In the middle of the complex landfill controversy, the Bear Creek Reservoir and associated water issues have been largely ignored by county officials. But, they have not gone away despite. No public meetings have been scheduled with the Newton County Water and Sewerage Authority (NCWSA) or with city officials to formally discuss the important water issues brought to light by the county’s master water plan, NCWSA’s Lake Varner safe yield analysis and lake level management problems at Lake Varner. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, one would think that county officials would be anxious to hear the results of these studies and implement solutions to the problems that were identified.

The lack of oversight of the $240,000 master water plan and the misleading statements made about the safe yield analysis and water levels at Lake Varner have created significant credibility problems for the county, and caused additional expense for the NCWSA and its many customers. The authority had no choice but to investigate the county’s claims about the inadequacy of the current water supply and the need for Bear Creek Reservoir.

The NCWSA studies have verified that Lake Varner’s ability to provide water has not been reduced despite frequent claims to the contrary by county attorney Tommy Craig. The only problem identified at Lake Varner is that it has not been kept full enough to insure adequate water in an extended drought period. In fact, the lake has been allowed to fall to very low levels the last two summers despite the 214 days in 2013 and 148 days in 2014 when Alcovy River flows would have allowed pumping to refill the lake. Mismanagement of lake levels is a serious issue that must be remedied before the summer months.

No reasons have been offered to the public by the county water department for their failure to run the pumps and keep the lake fuller. But, the low level of Lake Varner was used by both Mr. Craig and Mr. Nord at a November 5, 2014 BOC meeting to imply that Bear Creek Reservoir is needed for an additional water supply.

Their statements and photographs of Lake Varner at low pool were completely misleading to the BOC and the public. One or both men knew the lake level was low, not because of increased public water use or reduced lake capacity, but because no pumping from the river had occurred for the previous seven months. This was a misleading assessment of our current water supply that must be cleared up.

While our raw water supply has been proven adequate, the delivery of treated water may be a problem. In his address to the BOC on November 5, 2014, Mr. Craig stated that existing county water treatment plants cannot produce their designed amounts of finished drinking water. He stated that the Cornish Creek Treatment Plant can produce 18 million gallons per day (mgd) and that the Williams Street plant could provide only 2.7 mgd for a total of 20.7 mgd. The Master Water Plan also claimed that on peak days the county needs 22.4 mgd of treated water. If these are amounts are correct, simple math indicates the county may not be able to deliver enough drinking water on heavy use days when demand exceeds treatment capacity.

The Master Water Plan also stated that the county does not have sufficient emergency electrical power to deliver the amount of water the county needs on a daily basis. The emergency generators at Cornish Creek Treatment Plant were said to be able to power pumps large enough to deliver only 9 mgd of treated water.

the same county will be required to divide ELOST funds in a proportional manner if they cannot reach a satisfactory agreement.

This would have helped the situation between Newton County and Social Circle a few years back. Another allows Charter Systems to DAVE BELTON diversify their student populations COLUMNIST by giving military and educationally disadvantaged children admission priority. This solves the “nice-to-have” problem where a good school unintentionally becomes undiversified because it raises home values to the point where that school zone becomes unaffordable for many.

A hotly debated bill requires insurance companies who were proven to have acted in bad faith (to their own customers) to pay a higher minimum penalty. This was vigorously opposed by a major lobbying group but passed by an overwhelming near-unamimous vote. You’ll also be happy to know that two measures that would have raised state fees failed on the Floor.

A bill to legalize fireworks passed, as did one that allows for the hunting of feral hogs. Another expanded Sunday sales of alcohol to 10:30 in the morning if that local government chooses to do so. Another requires trailer loads to be adequately secured. Another gives free license plates to disabled veterans, policemen, and firefighter’s.

That could be an immediate problem during a power outage since the Master Water Plan says the average daily demand by Newton and Walton Counties together is 17.4 mgd. County officials need to assure the public that they can deliver sufficient water in case a storm event interrupts electrical power for several days.

Another concern mentioned by the master plan is whether there are adequate safety measures in place to protect public health at the Williams Street Treatment Plant. Authors of the plan found that components necessary for the proper operation and backwashing of the water filters were missing or inoperable which could allow contamination of finished water.

At the time of their inspection, engineers also found that the Williams Street facility used a gaseous form of chlorine to treat water but had no scrubbers or containment system in place in case of leakage from the chlorine gas cylinders. Chlorine gas is a deadly poison so leaks pose a threat to staff members and in a worse-case scenario could affect those in nearby schools and businesses. The public needs to be assured that these deficiencies have been remedied.

County officials continue to march forward with the $136 million Bear Creek Project despite the growing consensus that it is not needed for years to come. But, they appear unwilling to tackle major problems with existing facilities that could limit our supply of treated water or impact public health in the immediate future.

As long as we allow our county officials to keep their heads in the sand, the real water problems will remain unresolved and our county tax dollars will continue to be misused.

There were two tax credit bills that will be great for Morgan and Newton: a historic preservation incentive and another to zoos like the new Georgia Zoo in Madison. There were also pro-business bills such as the “Georgia Business Act” and the “Georgia New Markets Job Act.” Another includes forestry machinery in the definition of farm equipment exempted from certain ad valorem taxes.

Another prohibits secondary metal recyclers from purchasing catalytic converters. This has become a real problem in many states where thieves are stealing metal from all sorts of places.

A few House bills that did not pass were state-wide Sunday voting and the Religious Freedom Act, although a version of the later did survive the Senate and will be coming to the House for a vote.

Our last legislation was the “Todd Gurley” bill that makes it illegal to solicit a college athlete. It turns out that the Heisman hopeful who was sidelined for selling his autograph was allegedly lured by a fan of another SEC team who later sold the story to the highest bidder in order to get the athlete in trouble. (It worked.)

Remarkably, we passed over 200 bills in 30 days: 50 on Crossover Day alone. Overall, we wrote almost 5000 bills, resolutions, and amendments. Keep in mind that all the bills listed above were in the House and must still pass the Senate. I hope you will contact me with constructive comments at davebelton112@gmail.com or 706-372-4114.

The reason for this bait-and-switch is that the law sends a lot of cash to these corporations by requiring everyone to buy insurance and providing billions in subsidies. So, working with the president and Democrats in Congress, these corporations twisted the genuine public desire for reform into a vehicle that keeps prices high for consumers and profits high for the companies.

As Yandle and Smith note, “Lobbying for pork often pays a whole lot better than struggling to bring new and better goods to the market.”

The authors take care to point out that this is nothing new — “Bootlegger and Baptist activity is as old as recorded history.” But it’s becoming an ever-bigger problem in America today because 95 percent of our new “laws” each year are not passed by Congress; they are mandated by regulators. Rather than protect consumers and taxpayers, these arrangements generally enrich well-connected Bootleggers at the expense of everybody else.

Yandle and Smith see little hope for fixing this institutionalized corruption. I’m a bit more optimistic and will explain why in a future column.

Their sermons are analyzed dens on them, but forget that they and dissected, their biblical knowl- may have a few burdens of their edge challenged and their call to the own. We expect them to exhibit superhuman behavior, ignoring the ministry examined in depth.

I dare say if you pass muster, you fact that they are humans, just like are eminently qualified to deal with the rest of us.

We expect them to be available sinners like me. That can be a fulltime job. I haven’t done a lot of re- 24/7, even though we might skip

church if it looks like rain. We want their spouses involved and their kids to be saints. In the Methodist Church, we espouse “itinerancy,” which means our ministers have to move whenever they are told and wherever they are told, and that includes their family.

We reserve the right to criticize their sermons, the order of worship, the music and the temperature in the sanctuary. Ministers are equal part grief counselors, marriage planners, fundraisers, alms dispensers and, on occasion, plumbers and politicians.

All of this while trying to lead a bunch of stiff-necks to the Lord who are oft-times too busy seeing the speck in someone else’s eye to admit the plank in their own.

In spite of the challenges, the hardships and the frustrations, good people continue to hear and heed the call to ministry because they know what they are doing can make a difference in our lives now and forever more.

I come away from these sessions optimistic that the United Methodist Church has a new generation of bright committed ministers in their midst. I hope that is the case with all faiths.

I could face down a grizzly bear with nothing but a toothpick but I could never be a minister. I don’t have what it takes. But I thank God I saw some people last week that do.

I’m not sure I did much to help them along their spiritual journey but they sure helped mine.

Newton County Farm Bureau members attend GFB Day at Capitol STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

MACON, Ga. – Newton County Farm Bureau members traveled to Atlanta, Feb. 19 to participate in Georgia Farm Bureau Day at the Capitol. While at the capitol, members of the Newton County Farm Bureau delegation visited with Representatives Pam Dickerson and Dave Belton.

Members of the Newton County Farm Bureau who attended the event included: Brent Galloway, Charles Berry, Chuck Berry, Julius Hays, Lori McCart, and Kevin Mitcham.

The Newton County delegation was among more than 300 Farm Bureau members from across the state to participate in the event. Participants were encouraged to raise legislators’ awareness of GFB’s 2015 priority issues - water, animal agriculture, protecting the Georgia Agriculture Tax Exemption and the Conservation Use Value Assessment & securing funding for ag programs in the state budget.

“The real importance of the day is that we can bring together this many people in one day,” said GFB President Zippy Duvall.

“It shows Georgia Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization, and it puts the faces of our members we’ve been telling the legislators we represent in front of them.”

Gov. Nathan Deal spoke at the event luncheon GFB held at the Georgia Freight

Depot attended by more than 500 GFB members and state officials. Speaking of the pending lawsuit that Florida has filed against Georgia in the U.S. Supreme Court over water, Gov. Deal thanked Georgia farmers for their willingness to install meters on their irrigation systems that measure the amount of water the farmers use.

“Florida’s main complaint is that Georgia uses too much of the water that flows through our state into their state. They don’t care whether the utilization is due to more homes in metro Atlanta or for irrigation in South Georgia. They just say Georgia is using too much water,” Deal said. “I have to compliment agriculture in regards to [irrigation] metering. It has allowed us to dispute exaggerated claims of irrigation use. It has allowed us to document your water usage and it’s not just somebody guessing.”

Governor Deal also addressed the ongoing budget discussions regarding the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission (GSWCC) and shared his plan for how the agency will maintain its core functions.

Gov. Deal is proposing that the GSWCC be administratively attached to the Georgia Department of Agriculture while the purpose and structure of GSWCC will continue to operate as always.

Changes addressing the GSWCC State Board structure and the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Manual are also expected.

NCFB hosts Chinese delegation

Newton County Farm Bureau hosted a delegation of Chinese feed producers on Jan. 29 attending the International Poultry Expo in Atlanta. NCFB President Brent Galloway welcomed the group to the NCFB office, telling the group about agriculture in the county and Farm Bureau. NCFB took the group on a tour of area agribusinesses at the request of AG Georgia Inc.

did you know?

Damage to a lawn may be indicative of various problems. Everything from insects to rodents to the family pet may be responsible for causing burnt patches, holes and other eyesores. Getting to the bottom of the problem is the first step in remediation. Burning and discoloration of the lawn is often a result of high concentrations of dog urine pooling in one area. Diluting the urine by hosing down areas of the lawn can clear up many problems. Birds, raccoons, skunks, moles, and other rodents may feed on grubs that reside just under the thatch of the lawn, and animals may tear up lawns in search of this delicacy.

Treating the grub problem usually alleviates damage caused by animals. Mole crickets are another common lawn destroyer. These insects resemble crickets, but they burrow beneath the turf to feed on plant roots. The mole crickets can push up channels of turf as they burrow, exposing roots to the elements and causing the grass to die. Getting rid of the insects canrevitalize the lawn.

Believers celebrate

RELIGION Rebirth & renewal STAFF REPORTS

STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

news@covnews.com

Beside Christmas, the celebration of Christ’s resurrection at Easter is the most important event on the Christian calendar.

For some of the more traditional Christan churches, Easter marks the end of Holy Week and the period of Lent.

Holy week starts on Palm Sunday, with the celebration of the triumphal entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem. Later in the week, Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper. On this evening, bread, which represents the body of Christ, and wine, which represents the blood of Christ, is shared in remembrance of Jesus’ last meal with the apostles.

Next, Good Friday is a day of mourning as people remember the torture and suffering of Jesus on the cross, as well as His terrible death. Nothing is celebrated on Holy Saturday until dusk. Rather, churches are cleaned, and in the Catholic Church, the tabernacle is left empty and open. In very traditional churches, an Easter vigil to celebrate the resurrection starts in the evening and culminates with a rousing Easter Sunday service, full of joy and song.

In Europe, many children are familiar with a legend that tells of how churchbell chimes fly away to Rome on Maundy Thursday and will return on Easter Sunday in time for the celebrations. And in many countries, faithful Catholics await Easter as the day when the Pope gives a special blessing for believers and for the entire world.

Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox churches will celebrate Easter on April 8 this year. Easter is a day of rejoicing for all believers as they commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ after He died on the cross and was buried in a tomb near Jerusalem.

Christ died and rose again during Passover, a celebration He would have observed as a Jew. Today, Easter is the biggest festival in the Christian calendar, as people honor the gift of eternal life that He bestowed when He died on the cross. That Jesus rose again represents the victory of life over death, of light over darkness, and of love over hate.

In some traditions, Holy Week begins as a sober event, as people remember Jesus’ suffering, betrayal, and torture on the cross. Then, on Easter Sunday, many churches rise with dawn and start the day with a candle light vigil, honoring Christ as light of the world. Easter church services are lively and festive, and many baptisms take place on this day.

Easter does not have a fixed date, like Christmas.

Instead, it is determined by the lunar cycle and is always celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the spring Equinox.

The Easter egg hunt STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

What a great springtime sight to see: giggling children with baskets in hand, hunting for Easter eggs at school, at home, or around the neighborhood.

With the return of milder weather, an Easter egg hunt is a great way to celebrate this spring festival, and it is also a way for families to keep alive a very ancient tradition for future generations.

To organize an Easter egg hunt, buy some foilwrapped chocolates to hide high and low, or buy some empty plastic eggs from a dollar store and fill them with chocolates, candies, and other small surprises, such as erasers, Easter-themed stickers, whistles, and coins. If you’d like to go one step further, you could include little notes in some of the plastic eggs. The children who find these eggs can claim special surprises by following the instructions in the note. Make the directions as simple or as complicated as you like, depending on the age of the children and how much time and patience you have to organize it all.

You might lead them on a treasure hunt, or require them to mime an animal or sing a song.

Everyone will have fun enjoying these unforgettable moments. Excited children adore rushing to find their share of treats, parents have fun hiding eggs, and of course grandparents love to take photos of all the action. Just remember that it’s always best to organize this hunt for the morning, when everyone has lots of energy — especially Mom and Dad!

Summer camp options abound Summer camp is a beloved tradition in many families. Many parents of young children fondly recall spending their summers at summer camp, where they made lifelong friends and learned the finer points of roasting marshmallows and competing in threelegged sack races.

Parents looking for the right summer camp for their kids will soon discover there are various types of summer camps, each offering youngsters something different. The following are some of the summer camp options parents can expect to encounter as they search for the right camper for their kids.

Day camp Day camps are not overnight camps, which means kids will return home each night rather than sleep over at camp. Day camps typically offer many of the activities people have come to associate with camps, including crafts, sports and even day-trips to experience local culture or attractions. Many day camps are co-ed, and counselors typically live within the community.

Faith-based camp Faith-based camps offer many of the same activities as more traditional summer camps, but do so while simultaneously offering campers the opportunity to celebrate and further explore their religious beliefs. Some faith-based camps may focus heavily on religion, incorporating faith into daily camp activities, while others may be more subtle with regard to integrating religious beliefs and lessons into camp activities.

Sports camps Some summer camps focus on a particular sport, catering to young athletes who want to further develop their athletic talents. Sports camps may feature guest lectures and lessons from notable local athletes and coaches, while some camps may provide instruction from current and/or former professional athletes. Some sports camps are overnight, while others are day camps.

Family camps Family camps are opportunities for the whole family to enjoy the summer camp experience. Family camps typically tailor their activities around tasks families can complete together, with counselors providing assistance when itÕs needed. Family camps may be faith-based or secular, and families typically stay overnight, sleeping in facilities on the campsites or in lodging away from home.

Special needs camps Parents of children with special needs can still send their kids to summer camp, as there are many camps that cater to such youngsters. Special needs camps may cater to campers who are blind, deaf, learning disabled, or mentally or physically disabled. Staff at special needs camps typically undergoes extensive training, which helps to calm some of the fears parents may have about leaving their special needs children at camp.

Facilities at special needs camps are often built to accommodate the specific needs of campers.

Things to consider before choosing a summer camp Though February does not often elicit images of youngsters building campfires or playing games in the pool, the month more synonymous with the Super Bowl and Valentine's Day is a great time for parents to start thinking about summer camps for their kids.

Summer camp is often something kids look forward to, and something they will fondly recall long after they reach adulthood. For many kids, summer camp provides a first taste of independence, as youngsters spend significant time away from home without their parents for the first time in their lives. But as great an experience as summer camp can be for youngsters, it can be just as difficult an experience if parents don't find the right fit for their children.

That's why it behooves parents to start thinking about summer camps for their kids in winter, before camps start filling out their rosters, which tends to happen in early spring.

The following are a few things parents should take into consideration when seeking a summer camp for their kids.

Staff The right summer camp staff can make all the difference. Many children are understandably shy when arriving at a summer camp, as their friends from back home might not be joining them. That can make kids hesitant to participate in activities or less enthusiastic about those activities. But a good staff will know how to make kids feel welcome, which should help them come out of their shells and make the most of their summer camp

IN CONYERS, GA

experiences. The quality of staffs can vary significantly depending on the camp, so it's important that parents ask camp representatives about their staffs before making any commitments. Ask how long the staff has been together and the types of training new and even veteran staff members undergo before the start of camp season? Does the training include first aid and emergency medical training and certification?

It's also good to ask about the vetting process the camp employs before hiring new staff, including the extent of its background checks. Are criminal background checks conducted? How many references must potential staff members supply to be considered for employment? A good camp will be forthcoming with answers to all of your questions, so eliminate those that appear hesitant to share information about their staffs.

A day in the life When vetting camps for kids, parents should ask what a typical day is like once the season hits full swing. Many parents want their youngsters to have a well-rounded experience, while others might want their kids to attend a more specialized camp, whether it's a sports camp focusing on a particular sport or a music camp devoted to helping kids become better musicians. Regardless of the type of camp parents are considering for their kids, they should ask about what daily life at the camp is like. Ask to see schedules and how strictly camps adhere to those schedules. When considering specialized camps, ask the staff representative if kids will have the

chance to simply have a little fun and which types of recreational activities are planned to give kids a break from what are often rigorous schedules.

Camp goals Another thing parents must consider before choosing a summer camp

for their kids is the goals of each individual camp.

A camp should be dedicated to ensuring kids have fun, even when kids are attending more specialized camps that tend to be more strict. In addition, parents should look for a camp that wants its attendees to foster relationships

with their fellow campers.

Camp can be lonely for some youngsters, especially those attending summer camp for the first time, but a summer camp that strives to promote friendship among its campers can reduce, if not eliminate, any feelings of homesickness.

Late winter is when parents should start looking at summer camps for their kids, and there are a host of factors moms and dads should take into consideration during the vetting process to ensure their youngsters have as much fun as possible.

out, forcing Evans to take over. Evans says Brewer was a good bunter and that he always felt the team never used Brewer right, but when Evans got the chance to, he used him perfectly.

Evans had Brewer bunt each of his three times at-bat, and he executed each one of them – twice for the squeeze play and once for a sacrifice bunt. Brewer says that was probably his best game all season.

The two were reunited when Evans took over the head coaching position at Elbert and asked Brewer to join him, while he was still in college. Brewer was working at a local radio station at the time, but he couldn’t pass up the chance to coach at his alma mater.

“I’ve been around baseball my whole life,” Brewer said.

“I remember thinking at the time that I knew everything there was to know about baseball.” Brewer quickly learned the opposite. He says that Evans taught him tons, but what stuck with him the most was learning how to practice everyday, dealing with parents and cutting kids.

Cutting kids probably doesn’t sound like a difficult

task to most people. But it was, especially for Evans.

Evans, lost his son while he was coaching at Elbert, and Evans was forced to cut his son’s best friend that spoke at his funeral. He says it was awful.

“I go home and sleep because I know I did the right thing,” Evans said. “I wouldn’t sleep good if I kept a kid that didn’t deserve it because that isn’t fair to that other kid that got cut that did deserve to make it.”

Evans always stuck to his guns, kept the best players and played the best nine. In such a small town where everybody knows everybody else’s name that became problematic, and Evans says he lost friends because of decisions he had to make.

“I was the one that sat around with him and saw the emotional torture of it,” Brewer said. “He has to be strong in front of everyone else, but I was there to see once everybody left the room how much it hurt him to have to do it. Just because it’s the right decision doesn’t mean it’s the easy decision.”

Evans says now, he didn’t really lose any friends, it just weeded out the people in his life that didn’t belong. But it was a valuable lesson for Brewer, as he learned the hard-

The Covington News

SPORTS ships that nobody sees that comes with the job.

“He taught me that there’s no fair treatment. When you do the right thing you’re gonna get fussed at and criticized and that’s a hard thing to accept,” Brewer said. Evans likes to say that “no good deed goes unpunished,” which is something he witnessed up close and personal.

Elbert County made the playoffs in four of the six seasons they coached together, and the Evans/ Brewer era also resulted in the team breaking the school record for wins in a season with 23. Brewer has a tremendous amount of respect for Evans’ ability to win in their hometown. The pressure was always on because they grew up there and the two couldn’t go anywhere in the county without running into someone they knew.

“I felt like we couldn’t ever get a good coach. I felt like all these other good coaches were going to other schools.

They’d come to Elbert County, they’d have a good year and they’d go get what they saw as a better job. I hated that. I hated the way that happened,” Evans said.

“Everybody used Elbert like a stepping stone and I didn’t want to do that. I wanted somebody there that was stable for those kids – like us – growing up. And they had a stable person. I wanted the kids to see me at the little league field and know they’re gonna play for me one day. That was my dream.

That’s why I came back and gave it all I did to make it that way.”

Evans wanted to be the best coach in the state of Georgia and he wanted to do it at Elbert County because when Evans played there he went through four different coaches in four years. He felt like nobody wanted to be there. Evans wanted to leave Elbert in better

shape than it was when he got there, and he did.

“If we could win a state championship at Eastside I’m gonna blow the roof off I’m gonna be so happy.

But just what we did at our hometown and to know without a doubt that we did it better than anyone else ever has, that’s a different kind of pride,” Evans says.

He added that it helped a lot having Brewer along for the ride.

The size of the county had a profound effect on the talent that Brewer and Evans had to work with. Moving to Conyers and Covington has shown them what you can do when you have multiple middle schools fueling the talent of your team.

“In six years, he never had a left-handed pitcher. In six years, he never had a kid from the mound consistently ever throw over 83…and now he has three of them and he has a left handed pitcher now in his first year here,” Brewer said. “I have a left-handed pitcher. I’ve got one throwing 87/88 and a couple 82/83. It’s Christmas, man.”

Evans and Brewer love their hometown, but they realized last summer it was time to move on. As Evans says, everything happens for a reason. They started looking for coaching jobs throughout the state together.

Evans, at that time, only had a certification to lead physical education (P.E.) classes. He says he got a lot of calls, but none of the schools had P.E. jobs available. So even if coaching jobs were available, he couldn’t take them. Evans decided to get his special education certification one Wednesday, he passed the test immediately and emailed Eastside principal Jeff Cher on Thursday.

Cher called Evans back later that day and Evans went to visit Eastside on Friday.

He was hired Monday.

— Bruce Evans

Within that same week, Brewer got two job offers and took Evans with him to see both places and get his advice. Brewer was sold on Rockdale and its potential for growth, and the fact that he’d be close to his friend.

“I thank God every day that I’m here, because I love this place. Me and my wife love it and I know he (Brewer) does. I don’t know that I could’ve found a better place to be,” Evans said.

“Absolutely,” Brewer chimed in.

They carry the heart of their hometown with them wherever they go. It shows that they still care about the place from which they came. The place that made them. If it weren’t for their

hardships at Elbert, Evans says he wouldn’t have ventured out like he did and Brewer wouldn’t have taken a chance like he did to get to Rockdale.

It all came full circle earlier in the season when the two met on the field as head coaches for a double-header.

Rockdale won the first game (13-7) and Eastside won the second (10-8). Those two games are non-region and would normally have no significance at all, but that day is a day the two will never forget.

“It was about as perfect at it could be in my eyes. I got my first ever career win and he got his 100th,” Brewer said passionately. “I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”

10-0 Eagle baseball is flying high up the standings shakeem holloway

T

sholloway@covnews.com

o say Eastside baseball (10-2, 6-0 Region 4-AAAA) – led by firstyear head coach Bruce Evans – is on a roll would be an understatement.

After losing their first two games of the season, the Eagles have won 10 in a row and they’re booming on offense.

Through their last 10 games the Eagles have scored a combined 104 runs scoring less than 10 runs per game on just three occassions.

“We’ve just been destroying people, hitting,” Evans said. “When I got here, Mr. [Jeff] Cher, when I was in the interview he said, “What area is your strength in baseball?” I said, “Hitting.” He said, “You good at hitting?” I said, “Yeah I’m good at hitting.” He said, “Well we can’t hit.” I said, “OK. Good.” Then he hired me I said, “We’ll hit now.”

“My strengths always been hitting.

We’re gonna hit. I’m not gonna have a team that ain’t hitting,” Evans said.

And hit they have. Not only are the Eagles putting the bat on the ball, but they’re playing terrific defense as well.

During the streak only two teams have scored more than three runs. Rockdale had eight runs in the 10-8 loss to begin Eastside’s run of dominance and Jonesboro mounted four runs in a 16-4 thrashing earlier in the week.

Evans specialty may be hitting, but he knows deep down it takes good defense and good pitching to win games. He doesn’t mention defense much to his players in effort to keep the pressure off, and so far the strategy is paying off.

Eastside struggled in its first two games as Evans and the team adjusted to each other, but the Eagles hit their stride after a 13-7 loss to Evans’ close friend, Rockdale head baseball coach Jonathan Brewer. The win that followed the Eagles’ last loss was Evans’ 100th career win as a head coach.

“It’s hard to put a finger on one thing,” Evans said when asked about the key to the Eagles’ recent dominance.

“Obviously we’re hitting the ball good.

Our pitchers are doing a good job and our defense is playing really well, too.

It’s kind of a combination of all that.

The first two games of the year I didn’t know them, they didn’t know me. We had some kids in different places. We had to figure out where they would help us best on defense and put nine hitters in the lineup. I think we’ve got a pretty good combination right now. It seems to be working well.”

“The good thing and the biggest thing going on with us right now is our team has gelled. They care about each other.

They’re together as a team. Our coaches, our players and everybody is on the same page. They pull for their teammates as hard as they pull for their self, and that’s been the key,” Evans said proudly. “When you get ‘em loving each other and playing hard for each other it always develops into good things.”

An even better thing about the Eagles play is that they’ve been doing it without some of their best pitchers, as they’ve been dealing with an array of injuries forcing other players like Brantley

“We were forced to throw some other guys and make them get better. Whereas if we would’ve had those pitchers back then we might have leaned on them a lot and not developed those other guys like we should. It’s probably going to help us in the long run,” Evan said.

The Eagles are about to play much tougher competition as they get deeper into region play, and the deeper their team is the better they will be. Eagles’ ace Gray Ritchie is slowly coming back from a shoulder injury, but he’s been pitching some in games recently. Ritchie threw for three innings in a 4-3 win against a Griffin (9-5, 4-1 Region 4-AAAA) team that was previously undefeated in region play on Friday.

Griffin has a stud, senior third baseman Cornelius Randolph, who is projected as a top-15 pick in the MLB draft.

They also have a sophomore, who’s getting lots of attention from scouts already.

be just two undefeated teams left in the region.

“We’ve got to continue to do what we been doing. Obviously we’ve got to get a good pitching performance. We gotta play good on defense and not make any errors,” Evans said. “But the No. 1 thing is we’ve got to hit the ball because Locust Grove’s got a good pitching staff. They’ve got good hitters and they’ve got a real solid defense. They’re not going to give up anything. You’re not going to be able to hit a ground ball at short and expect them to make an error and give you a base. We’ve got to hit line drives and we’ve got to hit balls in the gap and drive people in when they get on base. Then we’ve got to execute all the little things – execute our bunts and everything we gotta do. You don’t beat teams like that by coming out there sloppy.”

Rivalry week Bulldogs take season series over Alcovy Javon Dickerson sports@covnews.com

It seems like baseball season just started, but yet most teams are already into the most important part of their schedule, region games. It is one thing to start off your region schedule, and it’s another to start it against a border-county rival. Alcovy and Rockdale led off its Region 2-AAAAAA schedule with a three-game series against each other.

With Rockdale taking a commanding 9-1 win at Alcovy on Monday, the Tigers wanted to put up a better fight when they traveled to Rockdale on Wednesday evening. After a tough game, it was the Bulldogs who prevailed after a late-homer to take a 2-1 win over Alcovy.

Both starting pitchers Ahmaad O’Neal (Rockdale) and Nathan Purcell (Alcovy) put on an amazing display of pitches, and seemed to try to get the better of each other every time they hit the mound. They combined to only give up three runs, but it was Purcell that gave up the run to end the game. With the game tied at one in the bottom of the sixth inning, senior Jelani Clarington stepped up and blasted the ball in the left field for a solo jam to win the game.

Clarington came in on the mound to close out the game in the final two innings.

Rockdale (5-6, 2-0) has a very young team this season with only three seniors on the roster and eight underclassmen. That con-

tributes to the somewhat inconsistent play we’ve seen from Rockdale, but that also comes from playing a tough non-region schedule. There is talent on this team, and the future seems bright for the Bulldogs.

But, Head Coach Jonathan Brewer wants his team to keep learning from their mistakes and shorten their errors. Brewer loves the leadership role Clarington has taken on his team, and praises his play on the diamond.

“He (Clarington) has been absolutely incredible for this baseball team,” Brewer said. “Whatever college gets him is going to be getting a special one.”

Alcovy (2-11, 0-2) has been hit with adversity this year, and like Rockdale only have four seniors on their team. Even though the Tigers are still trying to come together as a baseball team, their effort and heart cannot be questioned as they played their hearts out to get that win. If the Tigers keep with that same intensity, thing will turn around in the future for them.

Alcovy Head Coach Ryan Denison said, “Baseball is one of those games where even if you play right you still lose.”

The Tigers lost the third game of the series on Friday, falling 3-1 at home and giving them an 0-3 start to region play.

Alcovy will travel to play Lakeside on Monday at 5 p.m.

Newton soccer falls to Tucker

Javon Dickerson sports@covnews.com

Shakeem Holloway / The Covington News

The past week has been an emotional tragedy for Newton High School and their soccer program. With the loss of fellow mate, Carlvon Betts, soccer may have been the last thing on the mind of the players and coaches. But as time progresses, the season keeps going for the Newton High Soccer program.

It didn’t get any easier as the Tigers of Tucker took a trip to Covington to take on the Rams Tuesday evening. It was a dominating performance by Tucker as Newton both varsity girls and boys were shutout.

For the ladies, Newton did the best they could to keep up with Tucker, but it was clear the Lady Tigers had better athletes on the field. The Lady Rams had some impressive defensive stops that could have led to goals for Tucker, but offensively they couldn’t possess the ball long enough to score.

With four goals scored by Tucker’s Tierra Moore, Newton fell to the Lady Tigers 4-0.

The Lady Rams lost their captain, Precious Buddington, before the season and desperately need her on the field, as her future status is uncertain.

“We are not stacking up to the region like we would like too,” Newton girls’ Coach David Alexander said. “I would like to see more communication from the girls and better ball control.”

As for the boys, it wasn’t a game that Newton wants to remember. Tucker did a good job at spreading Newton out and keeping their defense on their heels. With their crisp passes and aggressive play, Tucker was able to get on top early in the game and never let up defeating Newton 7-0. Obviously, the loss of their teammate is still affecting the Rams. But, their players are playing with heart and passion and it just haven’t manifested itself to consistent wins.

Newton coach Sam Noland said, “The emotional drain took its toll on our physical inability to work through eighty minutes of games.”

here’s always that one moment or season where the parents of a high school athlete realize their child has the ability to use his or her athletic abilities to get a scholarship to attend college. John Richardson and Holly Johnson, the parents of Alcovy wrestler Austin Richardson, saw that moment come to fruition on Tuesday when Richardson signed his letter of intent to attend Truett McConnell.

“It’s very emotional. My baby is grown and I’m very proud of the young man he has become and will be,” Johnson said, admitting that although she was a little sad she looks forward to the next four years. “He’s always competitive so I knew that he would do very well in wrestling because that’s just his mentality.”

John Richardson added, “I’m extremely proud of him.

The hard work he’s put in for this year. He’s really came a

long way the last couple of years with his wrestling.”

Austin started wrestling when he was in middle school, and he’s only gotten better since then.

“In the sixth grade a guy named Michael Smith-Foot at Indian Creek had a program and he’s let kids come and wrestle for him,” Austin said on his first experience with wrestling. “In seventh grade I tried out for the middle school team and made it.”

Austin won a championship in middle school and went on to have a stellar career at Alcovy. He went 48-8 this year, he’s a three-time area champion and placed sixth in the state this year.

“When he took his passion to the next level this year it was emotional for me and him,” Johnson said. “He’s done very well and progressed in it. To me he’s one of the best wrestlers.”

Johnson says that watching her son push this year to keep everything in tact – his grades and his weight – and

watching him place for state gave her the belief that Austin could go to college on a scholarship. John says he saw his son’s potential during his sophomore year.

“I could see the talent that he had in him and I knew then that this could be something of a future for him,” John Richardson said proudly. “He’s come a long way. I’m looking forward to him to keep improving.”

Austin says that he chose Truett McConnell because – other than their interest in him – he wanted to pursue wrestling in college and because it’s a Christian college.

With Austin leaving, Alcovy head coach Kirk Hoffman is looking for a leader to fill his role.

“High character kid,” Hoffman said, speaking on Austin’s ability to lead. “I always tell people, good things happen to good people. In four years he’s done the right things – grades, his character. no discipline problems. He’s done what it takes to have that opportunity to compete at the next level.”

Newton adds 3 to Hometown 2015 signing class HEROES A look at the two men Elbert County created

We all know the saying “the rich get richer,” and that seems to apply to the Newton Rams football program. After an historic Elite Eight run, Newton was able to celebrate all the hard work that was put in this entire season. On top of that, National Signing Day, back in February, was a busy day for the Rams as nine players signed their letter of intent to play football at the next level. Within the last few weeks, that number has risen to 12 as three more players signed for the Rams.

Khamari Robinson, Erin Francis and Anthony Davis each played a role in Newton’s successful season this past year. Now, they can join their fellow classmates and play football at the next level, while also getting a free education.

Robinson is a 5-foot-8, 175-pound wide receiver. His size may not be appealing to most, but his talent is unquestionable. Speed, quickness and shifty are accurate descriptions of his game which makes a game-changer because he can line up in the slot or carry the ball out the backfield.

Robinson’s special moment this past season came when he caught the game-winning touchdown against rival Rockdale with less than 30 seconds

left in the game. He will be taking his talents to beautiful McKenzie, Tennessee, where he will play at Bethel University.

“I will get my name out there and prove to all who doubted me,” Robinson said.

Erin Francis will also be joining Robinson at Bethel University. He was the top cornerback for the Rams this season. Francis is 5-foot-11 and runs a 4.47 forty-yard dash which makes him tough to deal with because he has the size to defend bigger receivers, but also has the speed to keep up with faster ones. Only starting varsity for one year, Francis made the best of his opportunity and was consistent every time he walked on the field.

“A lot of my family members played college football,” Francis said. “I am just trying to continue in their legacy.”

Lastly, Anthony Davis, not to be confused with the NBA superstar, played two years of varsity football for Newton. Playing both offensive and defensive line, Davis was able to make enough plays on the field to be invited to the NUC All South Classic Game back in February. After that experience, he signed his letter of intent with Louisburg College.

“This means a lot to my family because it means I am going to school paid for,” Davis said. “My parents are very proud of me.”

n the far northeast corner of Georgia, bordering the South Carolina line and more than 80 miles away from Newton/Rockdale County lies a small place called Elbert County with a of population 20,500 people as of 2012, according to elbertco.net. Elbert is significant to Newton and Rockdale because of the two coaches it birthed – Jonathan Brewer (Rockdale County High School head baseball coach) and Bruce Evans (Eastside High School head baseball coach) – and the men that it made them.

Elbert County is a small place, so small that it has just one high school. Similar to that of Newton and Rockdale decades ago. It’s the type of place that forces you to drive 45 minutes just to go to Outback.

Evans, who was the head baseball coach at Elbery County High School, says it was so small that he knew all five board members and they would call him after games. He jokingly added that he only knows one in Newton. If Elbert hadn’t been so small, maybe Evans would have never coached Brewer while he was in high school. Maybe they would’ve never met and developed the close friendship they have now.

But Elbert is small and because of it Brewer and Evans developed a close friendship that resembles a big/little brother bond. A bond that gave them both the courage to leave the place they’d called home for so long.

Listening to Evans and Brewer tell their story of coming from a small town over an early dinner Thursday evening at Jim Stalvey’s in Covington and you can see the brotherly love the two share for each other now, but it didn’t start out that way.

When Brewer was a senior on the baseball team, Evans became a coach in his first year out of college.

“I hated him then,” Brewer said laughing.

As an immature young kid, Brewer says he hated how hard-nosed Evans was. It was something that, at the time, Brewer wasn’t mentally ready to deal with. Evans gives Brewer more credit than Brewer gave himself and says Brewer was ready by the end of his senior year.

In the last game of Brewer’s senior season, the head coach got thrown

Barbed Wire Wrapped in Seersucker

A common sense education You can obtain a degree in just about anything you want, here in America. And if you don’t DAVID MCCOY want to spend COLUMNIST a lot of money and time in college, you can get a certificate in your area of interest. And if that’s too hard, you can go after continuing education credits. Medicine, electronics, law, horticulture, advertising, accounting — you name it; someone will hand you a piece of paper with your name in fancy ink surrounded

by Latin phrases. We are living in a land of education, but answer me this: Why can’t you find any training in common sense?

What if we lived in a world where men and women graduated Summa Cum Laude in Common Sense?

“Here’s Mr. Barton, who excelled in Spotting Cons, Avoiding Scams, and Thinking Logically. And this degree goes to Ms. Lumpkin who was at the top of the class in Dating, Borrowing, and Gambling Myths.” Common sense is so rare; wouldn’t it be logical to teach it? “Hogwash! You can’t teach common sense! That’s why it’s common! You either got it, or you ain’t!”

And to that I say that we’d all still be in dirty diapers if someone hadn’t taught us about the alternative. Yes you can teach common sense. But

no one does. I don’t know of a career academy that teaches it; I don’t know of a college offering a BA in Wisdom; I don’t even see ads for “Night school courses in common sense.” It’s a lost art, if it was ever found to begin with.

If more people were trained in common sense, we’d see fewer long lines at the convenience stores where folks are planning their retirement, one lottery scratch-off at a time.

Common sense would tell them that their statistical odds of winning $150 million are so low they’d be better off at a wishing well. Common sense would make folks pull their pants up. Common sense would stop 90 percent of email traffic. Imagine a world where you didn’t have to read idiotic statements like, “This is the only month that has five Saturdays!

This won’t happen again for another 6,563 years!” Common sense would suggest looking at a calendar before pressing the forward-email button.

Common sense would shut people up more often. I wouldn’t have to listen to profanity as I dine at restaurants.

I also wouldn’t have to hear folks describe how to field-dress a hog while I’m eating. Common sense would say that some topics aren’t appropriate in public settings, especially when people are eating tacos and rice.

We teach our kids all kinds of things, and that’s great. But why do we assume they’ll learn common sense on their own? What if we said, “Oh, heck. Jimmy will pick up math

and English and science somewhere along the way. Don’t waste time teaching it to him.” But we leave common sense to the streets and to osmosis.

And look at what we’ve received in return. We have a gullible population that does the inappropriate at the wrong time to achieve an irrelevant outcome. What if we started teaching common sense? Where would it lead? Maybe we’d see politicians sporting advanced degrees in Common Sense, Reason, and Wisdom.

I’d much rather vote for that kind of representative instead of electing one more so-called law scholar and political science major. But I’m not holding my breath. Common sense isn’t a hot ticket, but I sure wish it was.

I’d sign up for a few courses myself, if I could just get my foreign friend to send me my share of that $20 million he promised for my assistance with his banking needs. Poor fellow, just lost his father in a military coup, right before he could take a big chest full of gold to the bank.

have you ever thought...

How the community can help solve the issue of parent accountability?

There is an ancient legend that has given us the expression “cutting the Gordian knot”. This means to find a bold solution to a complex problem. The legend is that Gordius, an ancient B. WILEY STEPHENS COLUMNIST king of Phrygia, (that was located in what is now Turkey) tied a knot that said whoever undid the knot would rule Asia. The legend says that Alexander the Great when he was confronted with the knot did not try to untie it but rather cut it. Thus he found a bold answer to what seemed to others an impossible problem All of us have times in life when we need to “think outside the box”. Can you imagine what it must feel like to be the non-custodial parent of a child? Your family situation is far from ideal. It must seem at times that the “hole” of financial obligation is only growing. You may want to do what is right, but you don’t see how you can meet your obligation. The truth is that at some point, the courts step in and failure to pay child support can lead to your arrest.

Now you are faced with a modern “Gordian Knot.” It does not matter what you might want to do, you can’t gain on the problem while you are incarcerated. Your child or children are not getting the support they need. You have become an expense to the state and county.

And this is compounded, most of the time, by the cost to the state to meet the needs of your family.

In 2013, Judge Horace Johnson of the Alcovy Circuit called for the establishment of a Parent Accountability Court in Newton County. The program was expanded to Walton County in 2014. The Parent Accountability Court Coordinator is Richard Kringer. He is a veteran of 24 years of service in the U.S. States Army.

Some would call this “the Problem Solving Court”, as this program can become a way through to those who feel trapped in this cycle of being unable to meet their obligations. The program is designed to handle up to twenty five participants, currently there are fifteen in the program. This is a one year program. The goals of the program include giving a hand up to those who feel overwhelmed, reducing the financial burden on the family as well as the government, and also helping to break the cycle of repeating this pattern of not being able to meet one’s obligation as a parent.

There are three basic parts to the program leading to success. The first is a thorough assessment. This includes writing a five hundred word essay, “Why I want to be in the Parent Accountability Court Program.” This deals with both short term and long term goals. It confronts the applicant with the question, “Why should I help take care of my children?” There is also a four part “Life Skills Class”. Attendance to these classes is a requirement. These are offered by members of the Spring Baptist Church. There is also a review of the possibility of reinstating the participant’s driver’s license.

Following the acceptance into the program there are several commitments to be met.

There is the requirement of regular attendance at group session, as well as to meet with the coordinator as specified. The participant must invest forty hours a week in job searches. Throughout the program there is the need for clear communication and cooperation with Division of Child Support Services.

Upon completion of the initial phase, there is the need to obtain full-time employment. This is the key to having the ability to help with the support of one’s family. This has to be at least a period of three to six months. Also in this second phase there is a process of negotiations to start paying back to the state any arrears owed.

There is also a time to seek restoration of access and visitation with one’s children.

There are limits to who can be in this program.

To be in the program there must be a Georgia Department of Children’s Service case where there is either a pending arrest or the potential participant is already incarcerated for failure to pay child support. Violent offender are not eligible to participate in the program. There cannot be a pending criminal case that could impact one’s participation in the program.

We have all come to points in our lives, where we at first can’t see the way through. This Accountability Court is a great example of the community and legal system coming together to help those caught up in situations that they cannot see their way. This program saves the tax payers some expenses, it helps the non-custodial parent to be more meaningful in their child’s life, and most importantly it helps meet the needs of the children involved.
