Row, row, row your boat Yellow River Water Trail recognized with Outstanding Outreach and Partnership Award MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com
The recent rains may have kept kayaks and canoes off the river, but thanks to the Yellow River Water Trail, Georgians will be able to enjoy the watershed for years to come. The Yellow River Water Trail is leading conservation efforts in the state, winning the 2014 Outstanding Outreach and Partnership Award from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Adopt-AStream program.
“The first step in environmental protection is awareness, and awareness only happens through effective outreach,” the program said in a statement honoring the YRWT. “By getting citizens on and around the river and providing resources to become more engaged, the YRWT is increasing awareness of water quality issues in the watershed.” The YRWT was singled out for creating a strong network of community partnerships by organizing river cleanups, paddle trips, and water qual-
ity monitoring. The YRWT, which provides access to 53 miles of river passing through four counties, also does educational outreach, including presentations on local river wildlife. Tonya Bechtler, one of the leaders of the YRWT, said the award is important because it recognizes the people who have been working tirelessly for four years. “We bring the community up close and personal to their back yard rivers, and when you get people to enjoy the riv-
er they will want to protect it,” she said. “It’s about awareness, engagement, and future protection.” The YRWT is currently working with the Georgia River Network and the Northeast Georgia Regional Council to finalize the water trail map, which will be used as a template for the rest of the state. Bechtler urged anyone wishing to get involved to follow the YRWT on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for upcoming events, or to e-mail info@ yellowriverwatertrail.org.

Newton County Manager Tom Garrett will be stepping down from his position next month to become the public works director for Barrow County. GARRETT The BCBOC unanimously approved Garrett’s appointment Tuesday, and Newton County confirmed the news Wednesday in a press release. “I saw Tom’s talent, honesty, and integrity when I first took office,” Chairman Keith Ellis said in a statement. “I am sad to see him go, but I am happy for him as he takes on a new job and I hope for all the best for him and his family.” The statement went on to say that, “Although hiring an equally capable County manager will be a challenging task, the Board of Commissioners will immediately begin the process of hiring another superior manager.” Garrett has agreed to stay on for the next 30 days to ensure as smooth a transition as possible. “I appreciate [the board] giving me this opportunity to work with very talented and committed department heads and employees,” said Garrett. “I’m going to miss working with them.” A Barrow County selection committee named Garrett the finalist after interviewing six candidates in March. He will oversee seven county departments with 41 employees that have a budget of $10.3 million. Barrow County will use $77,690 from the FY15 budget to cover Garrett’s salary and benefits. His salary for 2016 will be $88,000, slightly more than his current county manager salary of $87,651.20.

Covington honors veterans Covington already had a memorial to its veterans with the monument on the Square, but Tuesday it added another way to honor those who served while driving around town. Covington Mayor Ronnie Johnston and members of the city council unveiled a sign designating Monticello Street as Veteran’s Memorial Drive, to honor all veterans from the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Air Force. In remarks he made before pulling a plastic sheet off the sign Tuesday, Johnston said he was born at a time when there wasn’t the call to service for Americans as there was for the “Greatest Generation” and American men and women who served in Korea and Vietnam. “It’s extremely important to me that we pay our due respect,” Johnston said. “I appreciate the sacrifice you made. I don’t ever take that lightly. The sign serves as a timeless reminder and marker of the true heroes we have in Covington.”

What kind of school system will Newton County be in the next five years? That was the implied question that was posed to the Newton County School Board (BOE) by Newton County School System Superintendent Samantha Fuhrey during the board’s Tuesday night work session. Under Georgia law, each local school system has to submit paperwork to the Georgia Department of Education (GDOE) letting the agency know what type of school system it wants to be in the future. This multiple choice test comes with three options to choose from: • Investing in Education Excellence Flexibility Model (IE²) • Charter School System • Status Quo System
Fuhrey explained to the board that the IE² option was the best model to choose. It ensures that school-level student achievement goals are sufficiently rigorous to warrant granting the governance flexibility requested by the local school district, according to school documents. The deadline to notify the GDOE is June 30.
Under the IE² model, students will be expected to achieve at least a 3 percent increase from the difference in College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) scores from the initial year the program was implemented and 100. The program has performance contracts that last five years, and students will have to hit this mark at least three times within that span to meet the standard. The improvement doesn’t have to be in consecutive years, says Fuhrey. “It can be year 1, year 3, year 5. They don’t have to do it every single year,” she told the board. “Although, that would absolutely be our goal as a school system under this model.” Fuhrey explained the calculation that will be used to determine achievement in this model by saying if the baseline score for the initial CCRPI year was 70 percent, then 70 would be subtracted from 100, giving a difference of 30 percent. Three-percent of 30 is .9 percent. This .9 percent would be added to the baseline CCRPI score and subsequent scores to project the target marks for the school system. So, the targets in this example would be: 70.9 percent for year 1, 71.8 for year 2, 72.7 for year 3, 73.6 for year 4 and 74.5 for year 5.
Since the state is transitioning to new standardized testing next school year, Fuhrey says the 20152016 year will be the baseline scores, with improvement expected in the 2016-2017 school year. Schools not meeting the CCRPI target mat be required to develop school improvement plans to address specific academic deficiencies or develop a joint plan with direct school management support and intensive teacher/leader development. At the end of the five-year agreement, if a school hasn’t met performance requirements, then Governor’s Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) will recommend consequences to the state board, including probation, remedial action plans, conversion to a charter school, operation by a successful school system/ school operator or review of additional system developed recommendations. However, school systems can get a “second look,” which means if the system is determined to be “beating the odds” through an analysis that compares the schools with schools of similar demographics, it will be consider the same as meeting the yearly performance target. The charter school model is similar to the IE model in that it requires a five-year contract, but
this system will focus on improving student performance by implementing and maximizing school level governance. The status quo option doesn’t allow for school flexibility, comes with no performance contract and doesn’t allow financial waivers. BOE Member Eddie Johnson, District 2, asked Fuhrey was it possible to pick the status quo system and then changed to another model soon after. “I don’t know if you have to absolutely wait until the end of the five year cycle, but the contract is for five years,” answered Fuhrey. “I haven’t seen or heard of anyone at this point where they have selected an option and then... opted to make the adjustment.” Johnson responded by saying that he thinks the law makers are trying “to destroy public education as we know it.” “We do a pretty good job in our school system, but if we are going to accomplish our budget objectives, we cannot afford to not have the waivers that we currently have and that’s just the reality,” said Fuhrey. The BOE will vote on this issue at their voting meeting Tuesday, April 21, at the Newton County Board of Education building, 2109 Newton Drive, Covington at 7 p.m.

CMS community-based class wins first place STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
The Cousins Middle School Community Based Instruction Class received first place national and state Youth Recognition Awards at both the annual Keep America Beautiful (KAB) National Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C. and the annual Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation (KGBF) State Awards Luncheon in Atlanta. The class was nominated by Keep Covington/ Newton Beautiful (KCNB) for its outstanding recycling efforts in our community. Because a trip to Washington, D.C., was too expensive for the group to take, Laurie Riley, KCNB Executive Director, presented the national award to the class at the All A’s Celebration at Cousins Middle School earlier this month. The surprised class was greeted with thunderous claps and cheers from the audience of students, teachers, and parents and posed for pictures. The Cousins Middle School Community Based Instruction Class program is set up to serve disabled students. Two teachers and two para-professionals teach 5-15 students each year. The Newton County School System provides a school bus and a driver for the class to take students on short trips out into the community each week for experiential learning. However, the class needs extra funding to support the trips. Teachers began looking for a way to fund these outings for their students so that they could better teach practical life skills—things like how to buy groceries at
the supermarket and how to order food at restaurants. They learned that KCNB, the City of Covington, and Newton County offer a program through which school groups, clubs, and nonprofits can recycle and earn money. They began participating, at first by expanding the recycling program at their school. Then they asked parents and friends to help collect items. Finally, they had a breakthrough idea—they decided to offer to go to local businesses and organizations on the school bus and pick up recyclable items. (In order to recycle, these businesses would often need to contract with a private hauler or take their items to the recycling centers themselves.) The class found that many are very willing to allow them to take the proceeds from the recyclables in exchange for the hauling service. In addition to all its benefits for the environment, recycling has given the class a way to earn money and is also educational for them. It has taught students important life and socialization skills such as meeting people, learning to speak to adults, practicing signatures, collecting and sorting items, and scheduling pick-ups. Catherine Bickel, one of the class teachers says, “Remember my students have severe disabilities. When I see one of my students reach down and pick up a piece of trash and put it in the garbage can, I know all the hard work is worth it. If my students can learn to recycle and put trash in its proper place, then we can all do a better job.” Over the last year alone, students have

Not pictured: Princess Philpot and Lisa Richards; Paraprofessionals raised $3,889.60 through recycling. Always the top recyclers in the program, in 2014, they recycled 12,700 pounds of aluminum and 7,960 pounds of cardboard. They receive 30 cents per pound for aluminum and 1 cent per pound for cardboard. They have used the funds to buy hygiene products for the classroom. Their largest purchase was 13 Kindle tablets for the students to use at school. “We wanted to recognize the class, and we were thrilled to learn that they won first place in both state and national awards competitions. The students were genuinely surprised, happy, and excited--fist-bumping, high-fiving, and jumping up and down,” said Riley. “They don’t know it, but they are a source of inspiration in the community. The KCNB board tracks their recycling progress with great interest and awe. At meetings, board members are sure to ask how much Cous-
ins has earned ‘this time’. “ The class partners with community organizations, businesses, and offices that allow them to pick up recycling. Currently these include: Beaver Manufacturing; Newton County Administration Building; Game Time; Newton County Library; Troy University, Newton Campus; the City of Covington; Newton County Courthouse; Newton County Board of Education; Apollo Staffing; and several local doctor’s offices. The class also recognizes students’ and teachers’ parents, families, and friends as essential partners. “It’s my privilege to honor the Cousins Middle School Community Based Instruction Class and celebrate their dedication to making the community become more socially connected, environmentally healthy, and economically sound through their recycling efforts,” said Jennifer Jehn, president and CEO of Keep America Beautiful.
Leadership Newton wrapping up Leadership Newton County is coming to a close of its latest session. The students have had the chance to see first-hand what makes Newton County so great, from the local businesses to the local government agencies. This year’s class has volunteered and laid sod at the new Miracle League baseball field, and has even fought a controlled fire with the City of Covington and Newton County Fire Departments.

Bear Creek permit still not close MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com
Despite spending more than $21 million to date on the proposed Bear Creek Reservoir, Newton County appears nowhere close to obtaining a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, which recently questioned the continued need for the project as well as the information presented in the county’s application. Notes from a February 13 meeting in Savannah between county representatives and the Corps, which were obtained via an open records request to the Corps, detail concerns regarding several aspects of the Bear Creek project. The Corps representatives questioned the county’s assessment of existing water supplies, population projections, project need and purpose, and alternatives analysis, as well as onsite avoidance and minimization, and mitigation. The meeting was attended by Commissioners Lanier Sims and Levie Maddox; Chairman Keith Ellis; Dave Campell of Schnabel Engineering; County Manager Tom Garrett; Bear Creek project manager and County Attorney Tommy Craig, and two of his attorneys who have since left his firm, Lara Benz and Andrea Gray. The Corps’ representatives inquired about several existing and pending studies, which had not been made available to them. These studies included the 2009 Lake Varner safe yield analysis prepared by Infratec, which found that the safe yield of the lake was unaffected by the most recent drought; the draft Water Supply Master Plan prepared by Krebs Engineering; the review of the Krebs plan by the Newton County Water Authority, which was pending at the time; and the safe yield analysis commissioned by the Water Authority, also unfinished at the time of the meeting. In November, Craig claimed publicly that no updated safe yield analysis had been completed. Later, a copy of the 2009 Infratec was found on file with the Environmental Protection Division, with a submission letter signed by Craig. According to the Corps’ records, in February Craig said that the 2009 study was “not

The Corps also noted that the permit application utilized population projections based on census data from 2000, and that more recent projections were substantially lower. According to the notes, “The Applicant indicated that their projections were based on information provided to them by [the Governor’s Office of Planning and Development] through Year 2050.” “[The Corps’ representative] questioned this statement, as OPB staff specifically indicated that their office did not prepare projections beyond 2030.” Based on the lower population projections, the Corps’ representatives noted that the reservoir may not be needed by 2050. They also emphasized that the issuance of withdrawal permits and water quality certification is not sufficient to justify the continued need for the project. Moreover, potential commercial

use and economic development were not included in the stated need within the permit application, and could therefore not be taken into account. The Corps’ representatives also expressed concerns that the county had not sufficiently explored all practical alternatives, including upgrades to the existing infrastructure. “The Agent presented an estimated cost schedule for necessary system improvements, but did not fully elaborate on the factors informing the cost-benefit analysis sufficient for [the Corps] to understand why these measures were not viable means to off-set some portion of project need,” the notes read. According to the notes, the Corps’ representatives questioned the county’s assertion that the revised plan, which moved the dam 600 feet upstream, represents the ‘Least Environmentally Damaging Practi-
cal Alternative’ (LEDPA). “[The Corps] explained that the analysis was flawed because the revised reservoir study did not have as its purpose the object of determining a LEDPA or...avoiding and minimizing impacts to jurisdictional waters. Rather the stated purpose of the study was... [to] reduce cost, improve resilience and operational performance and/or fewer impacts to roads.” Finally, the Corps’ representatives clarified that because the project was revised significantly enough to warrant a public notice when the dam was moved, project mitigation could not be “grandfathered” around compliance with the terms of a 2008 rule. Therefore, the Corps would be providing comments requiring mitigation plan revisions soon. Sims, Maddox, Ellis, and Craig could not be reached for comment.

our thoughts Best wishes to Tom Garrett This past week it was announced that Tom Garrett, the current Newton County Manager will be stepping down to take a position with Barrow County. Before he was appointed to the County Manager position Garrett was in in charge of transportation in the county. When Garrett was appointed to the County Manager job he actually took on a position that through no fault of his own was destined not to succeed. It is unfortunate that Garrett was never given the full opportunity to succeed here because in our dealings with him we found him to be honorable and capable; much more so then the elected and appointed officials that he answered to. We wish him well in his new assignment in Barrow we have no doubt that he will succeed in his new position as Public Works Director.
New County Manager In a statement released by BOC Chairman Keith Ellis, he said that it would be a challenging task to hire a new county manager. We agree. At this time in our county government, we can’t think of any bright, creative, aggressive person who would want to work under the current county leadership. There are way too many questions around the position. First off, what is the position? Second, who do you report to? Third, what will your exact role be? We need to get these questions resolved quickly. If not, how would the job description even read? Needed: County Manager. Duties: still being discussed. Salary range: still being discussed.

The larger trends based upon personal finances and perceptions of President Obama are far more important. 5) Tech Entrepreneurs Are the Real Source of Hope and Change — While partisans believe that the world will end if their team doesn’t win, the truth is that politics is not the way that change takes place in America. The culture comes first, and politics lags behind. The advances coming from Silicon Valley have a far bigger impact on the nation than anything the next president will do. It’s a lot less fun to recognize that the fundamentals matter more than the campaign trivia lionized by political reporters. But it’s also reassuring to note that the ultimate decision is based more on reality than candidates.

Madam Yesterday, when your husband ran for president he campaigned for a “bridge to the 21st century.” So having crossed that bridge, why oh why must we go back to yesteryears to elect yesterday’s candidate to lead us into tomorrow?

A tribute to some good people doing good things Sometimes we forget that there are a lot of good people on this earth doing good things. I was reminded of that by my friend, Jack Cookston, who recently had some medical issues that required him to cart around an oxygen tank wherever he went. (Happily, his health has improved DICK YARBROUGH and the oxygen tank is history.) COLUMNIST Cookston said he was overwhelmed at the kindness of strangers who opened doors for him, anonymously bought his dinner at a local restaurant; offered him encouragement and generally showed a generosity of spirit that doesn’t come through on the evening news. I thought of Jack Cookston’s observations when I traveled to Gainesville recently to visit the Georgia Mountain Food Bank, operated by a group of good people who have that same generosity of spirit. I have a warm spot for Gainesville and Hall County. The area hosted the rowing venue in the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games and did a great job. A lot of the cities that had lobbied hard for an Olympic venue suddenly wanted the organizing committee to pay for any and all costs they occurred in staging the venue and whined and complained as though we had dumped toxic waste on their doorstep. Not Gainesville. They get my gold medal for their cooperation. One of the driving forces in the creation of the Georgia Mountain Food Bank was Jim Mathis, a long-time com-
munity leader in Hall County. Not surprisingly, Mathis was also a major contributor in the success of the rowing venue — which is still in business. That was one reason I made a pilgrimage to Gainesville. I wanted to thank him in person for not whining and complaining in 1996. The Georgia Mountain Food Bank is no small operation. In 2014, the enterprise served more than 3 million meals in a five-county area through more than 58 partner agencies. Much of the food is donated from food distributors and manufacturers and safely stored in their 20,000 square foot building where some 3,700 volunteers spent more than 9,000 hours packing food boxes. Impressive numbers, but to say they are satisfied with their good works would be inaccurate. Good people always think they can do even more good. Kay Blackstock, the organization’s executive director, says that currently one in five Georgians are “food insecure.” That is a polite way of saying that too many people living in the richest country on earth and in one of its fastest-growing states are going hungry every day, including children, senior citizens and the disabled. That ought to keep us awake at night with guilt; particularly, after we have scraped half a meal down the disposal or fed it to the dog. Richard Riley, a long-time friend from our days in the communications business is a member of the board who could be enjoying a well-earned retirement but, instead, is devoting his time and talent — and passion — to bringing in more resources to the Georgia Mountain Food Bank. “It doesn’t take much to make a difference,” he says. “One dollar can feed five people.” The Georgia Mountain Food Bank is one of nine commu-
nity food banks operating across Georgia. Others include the Atlanta Community Food Bank, the Chattanooga Food Bank which serves Dalton and northwest Georgia; the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, operating out of Athens; Feeding the Valley in Columbus; the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank, serving the Macon area; Golden Harvest Food Bank of Augusta; Second Harvest of South Georgia which includes both the Albany and Valdosta areas and America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia headquartered in Savannah. While the locations vary, they have one thing in common says Blackstock. “We are always in need of the three F’s — food, funds and friends.” They also have something else in common. They are operated by good people who can’t be comfortable whenever there is someone in need. They could use your help. As Jack Cookston discovered while lugging around his oxygen tank and as the dedicated folks at the Georgia Mountain Food Bank showed me during my visit, there are still a lot of good people around doing good things — whether opening a door for someone who isn’t able or feeding the hungry. Perhaps if there were more of us helping those who can’t help themselves instead of sitting on our duffs and complaining about the world going to hell in a wheelbarrow, we might just make that world a better one for all of us. After all, isn’t that what good people do? You can reach Dick Yarbrough at yarb2400@bellsouth.net; at P.O.

Gun control advocates argue that stricter gun control laws would reduce murders. They ignore the fact that Brazil, Mexico and Russia have some of the strictest gun control laws but murder rates higher than ours. On the other hand, Switzerland and Israel have higher gun ownership rates than we but much lower murder rates. These are realities that gun controllers ignore. Another reality completely ignored in the gun control debate is the reason the Founding Fathers gave Second Amendment protections. Alexander Hamilton wrote, “If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government.” Thomas Jefferson wrote, “What country can preserve (its) liberties if (its) rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” I leave it up to you to decide what representatives and rulers the founders were talking about. Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

We will always appreciate him for that. We have an elected Chairman, who in our enabling documents manages the county day to day operations. Maybe we don’t need to hire someone?

That way we have time to decide what the job is and properly look for a qualified candidate.

in how taxes were spent. Additionally, if the payment from the government is received in one large lump sum in the form of an annual “refund” check, the recipients of that money might very well spend it differently than they would if the money were reimbursed in monthly benefits, adding up to the same total. Additional points of interest come from Mark Perry, an American Enterprise Institute scholar, who wrote on the AEI website: “The top 20 percent of Americans earn about half of all income (51.3 percent) and pay almost all income taxes (84 percent).” Additionally, this top group is “the only quintile whose tax share exceeds its income share — all bottom four quintiles have a lower tax burden as a share of the total taxes paid than their income as a share of the total.” This means that the taxes are very progressive. “The second-highest quintile (with incomes of $79,500 to $134,300) earns 20 percent of U.S. total income as a group, but shoulders only 13.4 percent of the total U.S. income tax burden.” And as noted above, the bottom 40 percent of earners receive money from the income tax system. “Uncle Sam is not reaching into his own pockets to pay the bottom 40 percent,” wrote Perry, “he’s reaching into your pockets if you make more than $47,000, the threshold income level to be in the top 60 percent.” What we currently have is an income transfer system, not an income tax system.

MOST KNOWN UNKNOWN Kurt Taylor Jr. is quietly becoming one of the most sought running backs in the nation SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com
Kurt Taylor Jr. Get to know the name and the young sophomore Newton running back because by the time he’s a senior, Taylor Jr. will be one of the best running backs in the nation. Taylor stands strong at 5-foot-nine, weighing in at a rock-solid 200 pounds. He’s built like a miniature Hercules, and apparently that’s the way colleges see him. Taylor Jr. is receiving multiple offers from power-five schools, and he’s not even featured heavily in Newton’s offense yet. Taylor has offers from well known schools like Vanderbilt, Kentucky and UNLV. He’s been on multiple unofficial visits to schools like Georgia and Auburn, plus plenty of camps/combines to let colleges see the type of player Taylor is. “What they love about me – they like my style of running. They like me as a person. I’m a humble person. I’m a hard worker and I’m a good guy.” Taylor said. Hard work and humble are words you’d probably use to describe Taylor if you’ve ever met him. He’s quiet and unassuming despite his amazing This guy gets up physique. But Taylor wasn’t always this way, well at least he in the morning wasn’t always this muscular. does about 400 It started when Taylor, who had always wanted to play pushups [maybe football, broke his tibia in half while he was in the fifth 500]. He’s been grade. His father Taylor Sr. doing this for says he once slept with a football in his hand and a helmet a long time. on his head he loved football Ain’t like he just so much, but Taylor Jr’s injury didn’t change that. started this. This “He knew what he had to is something he do,” Taylor Sr. said. “This guy would run every day. He’d constantly does say, ‘Dad can I play this year?’ all the time” And I’d say, ‘No.’ He said, ‘I can play.’ I’d say, “No, you can’t. —Taylor Sr. You gotta show me what you can do before you get on that football field.” So Taylor Jr. showed him. He worked hard to get back to form. Taylor would run every day, even in the summer in 100-degree weather. He worked on his footwork, ran, lifted weights and did pushups and pullups to build his body for two or three hours each day. Taylor Sr. told his son that if he could get past this injury, there would be no adversity he couldn’t go through. “I said, ‘Kurt, this injury right here is going to propel you to the next level because most people would quit right here, but you want to still play in spite of [your injury],” Taylor Sr. recalls. After two years, Taylor Sr. finally let his son play football in the eighth grade. Taylor Jr. suited up for Clements Middle School and took the team by storm. In his first year playing, he led the team in rushing yards and touchdowns. Not bad for a guy who hadn’t stepped on a football field in over two years.

Kurt Taylor is one of the best kept secrets in Newton County. The almost 200-pound running back is just a sophomore at Newton High School and he’s already drawn multiple offers from power-five schools such as Rutgers, Vanderbilt and UNLV. Taylor used his injury to his advantage. He’s morphed into this hulkish character that can power clean over 300 pounds, bench 375 pounds and hit over 500 pounds on the leg press. All while maintaining his 3.7 GPA in school. “Hard work is undefeated,” Taylor Sr. said. “His work ethic, I have never in my life – and I work hard, I’m one of the hardest working people you could ever meet — but his work ethic is unmatched. This guy gets up in the morning does about 400 pushups, maybe 500. He’s been doing this for a long time. Ain’t like he just started this. This is something he constantly does all the time.” The Taylors are definitely a sports family and Taylor Jr.
is surrounded by successful athletes in his family. However, they’re more of a basketball family, but Taylor is the first to play football. Taylor Sr. played basketball at the University of Hawaii and eventually in the USBL. His uncle Oliver Taylor was an AllCity selection while at Far Rockaway High School in Queens, New York before having a successful career at Seton Hall and eventually playing professionally in France. Taylor Jr. is also Rockdale star defensive back/receiver, T.J. Warren’s cousin, who signed to play at the University of Missouri in February.

Quintrell Mathis joins Arthur Holmes as the second senior in Eastside’s 2015 class to sign a letter of intent to play football collegiately. Mathis was a two-sport athlete at Eastside, where he also played basketball, and he will likely line up at receiver for Brevard College in the fall. Shakeem Holloway / The Covington News
Of Newton’s six-senior class, three signed letters of intent to play basketball at the next level this past week. Donovan Grubb (West Georgia Tech), Antonio Smith (West Georgia Tech) and D.J. Hill (University of Mobile) will continue their careers in college with a free education.
Three Rams join college ranks SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com
Newton basketball will lose three of its best players this year to college as D.J. Hill, Antonio Smith and Donovan Grubb all signed letters of intent to play at the next level. Hill will play at the University of Mobile while Grubb and Smith grind it out together at West Georgia Tech. The Rams made the elite eight this
past season, and couldn’t have gotten that far if not for the contributions of Hill, Smith and Grubb. Antonio Smith Smith is a bit of a late bloomer. He started playing basketball his sophomore year because he says he was afraid to try out his freshman year. Smith didn’t make the team in his sophomore season, so he took it upon himself to work harder.
Mathis headed to Brevard College SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com
Smith made the JV team his junior year and worked harder over the summer to make varsity his senior year, where he assumed a starting role on the team. He led the team in blocked shots and dunks. Rams’ head coach Rick Rasmussen says he’s a nice kid and a great rim protector. He thinks Antonio will be one of the best big men in the region at West Georgia Tech right away.
Quintrell Mathis was one of Eastside’s best four receivers this past season and now he’ll look to be one of Brevard College’s best after signing his letter of intent on Monday. With the support of his friends and coaches, Mathis, a two-sport athlete, will now go to college to get an education and continue his football career. Mathis’ mother Nicole Humphrey and his aunt Sherry Clark sat next to him reminiscing about the past as they all looked toward the future. “The best is yet to come,” Humphrey said.

EHS Athletic Director and Assistant Principal Dr. Bruce McColumn announced this week that he will be transferring to Alcovy at the end of the school year. Dr. McColumn will continue as an assistant principal at Alcovy, but does not yet know if he will be the AD.
Eastside athletic director transferring to Alcovy SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com
Eastside Athletic Director/Assistant Principal Dr. Bruce McColumn has announced that he will be transferring to Alcovy High School at the end of the school year. Dr. McColumn has been at EHS for 10 years, but he believes it’s time for a change. “I think one of the main reasons I got the job here, coming from Cousins Middle School is that it was time for a culture change of the school. I think the years that I was here with Dr. Darea and then Mr. [couldn’t make out for background noise] we did that,” McColumn said. “If you feel that you’re not valued, that your services are not needed – it’s time to move on.” McColumn went on to say that he’s loved his time at Eastside, but after talking with Principal Jeff Cher, who studied under Dr. McColumn before leaving Eastside and later returning to become principal, Dr. McColumn decided to ask for a transfer. “My career in Newton County hadn’t gone the way I thought it would go,” Dr.
McColumn said. “Not holding grudges because as a Christian I know whatever is mine God is gonna give it to me no matter who tries to hold it back.” “Sometimes God can give you a nudge and you don’t pay attention to that nudge. Then the nudges get bigger and bigger, it seems like the nudging got more intense to the point where I requested to leave because I didn’t want to get into a situation that would put a tarnish on my credibility as an administrator,” he added. Dr. McColumn will switch places with current Alcovy assistant principal, Dr. Phillip Davidson, but is not yet certain whether he’ll be working with athletics at Alcovy. “It’ll be a fresh start for me. At this point in my career I thought I’d be a principal by now, but it hadn’t happened like that, but then again I still have quite a bit of work left in me. I’ll go over there and try to make that the best school that I can,” Dr. McColumn said. “I trust that Dr. Owens will put me at my strength. I think any good principal tries to utilize a person’s strength to enhance the
overall school and I think she’ll do that. Even if I have to do some athletics, I’ll do what I need to do,” he added proudly. It’s a bittersweet exit from Eastside for Dr. McColumn. He loves the kids and says he’s in it for them. However, Dr. McColumn is excited to get started at Alcovy and he says he’ll wait to gauge everything before knowing where and how he can help. “You can always see things on the outside looking in, but a lot of the changes that I would request or think that I’ll try to implement once I get there will be based off what I see. Based off the data of course, but then again a lot of times just being there you just don’t go doing a lot of changes based off what worked here because that’s a whole different culture,” Dr. McColumn said. “Eastside culture and Alcovy culture is different. You can’t just say one size fits all. I would have to actually get in the midst of the flow of the culture over there and determine from there what I can do to enhance it.” “There’s a lot of good things going on at Alcovy.

Newton/Rockdale rivalry reignited sholloway@covnews.com
A longtime rivalry will be reignited this week when the Newton/Rockdale baseball teams play a three-game series with playoff implications on the line. Newton is currently in third place in the region with a 7-4 region record, while Rockdale is just two games back at 6-6 in the region. “It’s going to be for third and fourth, probably even second,” Andre Byrd, Newton head coach, said. “It’s an old-school rivalry, back to Newton/Rockdale. We’re about the same. Our records are about identical, but I think we’ve got them by one game, and our teams are identical. So it’s going to be a big showdown.” The two teams are sim-
ilar, but in the past couple of weeks they’ve headed in different directions. Newton has won eight straight games and finally lifted its record above .500 at 11-9 overall. Rockdale on the other hand has lost six straight games and saw its record dip below .500 at 9-12 overall. In rivalry games you can throw records out of the window. This will be both team’s last series before the playoffs and the team that loses the series will be a No. 4 seed and have to travel to play a top tier team in the playoffs. “I’m not originally from Newton County, but when I got to Newton County that’s all I heard about how back in the day Rockdale and Newton County used to go back and forth, back and forth,” Byrd said. “When we played them last year we won the region, but our toughest
games in the region were against them. I expect them to play the same and give us a good shot because again, no one wants to be the No. 4 seed playing the No. 1 seed.” Both teams are young with most of the rosters comprised of sophomores and juniors, as they each have just four seniors. Rockdale’s first year head coach Jonathan Brewer is new to the rivalry, but Byrd says they’ve talked through email and on the phone and that he seems like a really nice guy. “I guess next week won’t be too friendly,” Byrd laughed. Newton is coming off a series win over Lovejoy, but the Rams didn’t look like they should have against a team that’s winless in the region. The pitching wasn’t at the level Newton is used to, but the offense powered through to a 10-5 and a 12-8

If we get pitching like that we should be fine against them.” The series kicks off on Monday at Newton 5:55 p.m. before heading over to Rockdale on Wednesday and back to Newton on Thursday.

TAYLOR
>> FROM PAGE 1B Taylor Jr. is also a neighbor of another rising star in future Newton hooper Ashton Hagans. Taylor Sr. was raised by a single mom with seven other siblings. He didn’t have the guidance that he bestows on Taylor Jr. growing up. Taylor Sr. was a talented athlete, but he didn’t have the right mindset to take it further at such a young age. He didn’t even find out about the SAT until his senior year. “I was in the street,” Taylor Sr. said. “All I heard was cuss words, this and that. I didn’t hear about any big words. I look at the SAT, I’m like, ‘What is this?’” Taylor Sr. missed out on his opportunity to play in the NBA when a scout approached him after a game and said he had been following Taylor Sr. Sr. spoke with him quickly, but mainly brushed him off before finding out a year later he was one of the top scouts in the league. Taylor Sr. says that cycle will end with him. Whenever Taylor Jr. enters a room, Taylor Sr. makes his son speak to everybody and shake their hand. “I’m excited that he put himself in this position, as a father. I’m just using it as a tool for him and showing him a vehicle where we can move forward,” Taylor Sr. said. Taylor Sr., who was once in law enforce-
ment, also makes sure his son is involved with the community. He doesn’t want him to be one of those athletes that makes it big and never comes back, and that starts now. “If you can’t do little things when you are small, then God’s not going to bless you with anything big,” Taylor Sr. said. “Being a service to the community is more important to me than just running a football,” he added. Taylor Jr. says he just wants to be a good teammate, and he wants to win. That hasn’t stopped him from setting goals for himself next season. He says he wants to go for over 1,500 yards and 15-plus touchdowns, but most importantly he wants to win a state championship. Taylor Jr. is still working hard every day, continuously building his body and working on his game. His father makes sure he stays humble, regardless of his accomplishments, but he’s also the No. 1 believer in his son’s talents. “I guarantee you in two years, he’s no question going to be the best running back in Georgia,” Taylor Sr. said. In two years when it comes time for Taylor Jr. to make his decision, Sr. says he’ll help his son narrow down his top-five, but he won’t help him pick his school. That decision is completely up to Jr. “You gotta have a feeling in your side about the school you love,” Taylor Sr. said. “It’s gotta be something that you want, not what I want. I’m here to get [him] there, but [he’s] gotta pick it.”

“I’m very proud,” Jackie Smith, Antonio’s mother, said. “Antonio has come a long way as far as school is concerned. He’s always determined to do the best and try to strive for the best. I’m just proud of him.” “It’s the best day for me,” Antonio said smiling from ear to ear. “Being on varsity for one year and then going to college the next year to play basketball it feels really good. I think this is the best day of my life.” With Grubb at his side, the two Newton players look to dominate at West Georgia Tech. “I like Coach O [West Georgia Tech head coach Niki Okolovitch], he’s a nice coach and I think I’ll feel more comfortable going there,” Smith said. “Plus, my other teammate Donovan is going there. I’ll feel more comfortable with him [there].” Donovan Grubb Grubb is a two-year varsity player. He was the team’s third leading scorer, he led Newton in rebounds and effort. Grubb made the All-Region team once and Okolovitch thought he was the best player at the West Georgia Tech private workout. “He’s exceeded my expectation,” Lakishaw Riggins, Grubb’s mother, said. “He’s always been a good child. Anything I tell him to do, he goes beyond what I expected him to do.” Grubb started playing basketball in middle school despite playing sports since he was five. He’d played mostly football and baseball up until that point, but he chose to continue playing basketball although his family is a baseball family. Riggins says she knew Grubb was good around his freshman year. “He was very adamant about going to practice,” Riggins

Taylor Jr. was recently invited to Georgia’s Rising Senior Bowl, a game usually reserved for juniors and seniors. The downhill power runner is receiving a lot of hype entering his junior season, and it’ll be on his broad shoulders to make believers out of the doubters. “When you have a kid like Kurt and have the work ethic, it’s priceless,” Taylor Sr. said. “That’s why I continue pushing him, pushing him, pushing him, pushing him. If he keeps working, he’s gonna make it to that next level.”
said. “Even when he sat on the bench, he still had perfect attendance. He was determined to show up. When I wanted to give up, he didn’t give up. He pushed me.” Grubb believes his game will transfer nicely at the next level. “I chose West Georgia Tech because it’s given me an opportunity to show how good I am and that I can play better places,” Grubb said. “I just have to work. If I keep working I’ll see what I can do from there.” “It feels good. It feels like anything can happen. I just gotta keep working,” he added. D.J. Hill Although Hill has arguably been Newton’s best player for the last couple of years, he’s been a star since he was 9. He was playing AAU for the Aftershock in Atlanta then where he led the team to back-to-back championships. “I’m very excited. I knew D.J. would be doing big things. He’s had a basketball in his hands since the age of 3 so he eats, sleeps and lives basketball,” Lynn Seay, Hill’s mother, said. “Him coming to Newton and having a great coach and a great team and people that pushed him has really made me proud that he’s become the man that he’s becoming.” Hill says when he visited the University of Mobile he loved the facilities, which was a big part in his decision. He also said that he loves the team and they were very welcoming to him. “D.J.’s been a great point guard for us for a long time,” Rasmussen said. Both Rasmussen and Seay are really proud of Hill’s growth and maturity. Hill is a three-year varsity starter and he made the 6-AAAAAA All-State team this year. He’s also a two-time All-Region player. Hill said, “I have had great coaches in my life along the way my whole life and I just listened to everything they said and took it in. Working in the gym every day just getting my game better and better. Now I finally got an opportunity to play for college.”

“It’s amazing because it’s been me and him for so long. I’m super proud of him because he’s very dedicated, very dedicated. He worked really, really hard for this,” she added. Humphrey says she’s watched her son grow tremendously over time, not just physically, but mentally. He used to go to practice every day, she says, and some days he would have to go to work after. “I am very, very proud of him,” Clark said. When he was about three years old, Mathis would go with his mom, Clark and grandmother when they went walking. Clark says they walked, but he ran the entire time. Mathis used to be short and fat, but he’s lean now and he’s a physical player. He amassed over 200 yards receiving and two touchdowns this season, but none were bigger than his 37-yard touchdown in the first round of the playoffs that sparked a comeback from a 21-point deficit against Thomson. “I think I saw the change,” Clark said. “He looked like a kid to me up until I would say a few months ago.” Mathis played basketball at EHS under head coach Greg Freeman. Freeman and wide receivers coach Frankey Iverson spoke at the signing about how they’ve seen Mathis mature and the contributions he’s made to the team. Freeman says that he told Mathis that he’d always be there for him if he needed him and that’ll continue beyond his signing day because this is just the beginning. Mathis’ family is amazed by his success and they’ll be right there with him as he continues to be successful at Brevard College.

Peace, be still … Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. — Mark 4:36-39 (New King James Version)
A trip to the Sea of Galilee is never complete without a good fish tale. It only takes one stop at St. Peter’s Fish Restaurant to understand the JAN MCCOY attraction to the COLUMNIST fishing industry and to the taste of fresh fish from the Sea. Here fishermen bring in the daily catch for the crowds that gather to eat the famous fish from St. Peter’s. Not a fan of fish, I try to find other things to order, but at St. Peter’s, you simply order the fish, and your choices are with or without the head attached. We get the fish, not battered, but fried in oil and served hot with sides that are not meant to do anything but complement the main course. After lunch, a quiet boat ride on the sea is
the perfect way to settle a great meal. It’s no wonder that the disciples liked being on the sea as much as possible. It’s quiet and breezy, with the sun ducking in and out behind the clouds Clouds can appear without much warning, and the winds can change quickly from calm to strong, making the water quickly become choppy as we drift on the water in a boat with the engines turned off. Closing our eyes, we think about the time when Jesus went out in a boat with his friends, resting in the back of the boat until a squall made the boat ride treacherous. Then as the winds calm once again, we can almost hear the words of Jesus, “Peace, be still” as he calms the storm on the sea and the storm of fear in the hearts of the disciples. As I look back over the pictures and remember the peace of the sea, I think of the places in my own life even now where I need to hear those familiar words of Jesus
just a thought
calmiing my storms. Where do you need to know the peace of Christ in your life? Close your eyes and trust him to speak to your heart those words that bring relief: “Peace, be still.”

Where is your heart today? Where is your heart? When we say the pledge to the flag of the United States, we place our hand over our heart on the left side of our chest, is that where our heart is? Science places our heart more in the middle of our chest, is that where your heart is? Of course some would say to their spouse, “you have my heart.” Is that where their heart is? Or a grandparent may claim a child is there heart, is that where their heart is? The loss of a loved one is often said to “take our heart,” is that where that heart is? Or our hearts may weaken or fail is our finances fail or we experience loss, is that where our heart is? The answer to all the above is summed up in Jesus pointed statement: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Lk. 12:34) Whatever we set our heart upon, make our priority, focus our thoughts and attention on, give our energy to, set our affections on, that is where our heart is. So where should our hearts be? Jesus answered that question too: “But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. “(Lk. 12:31) Where is your heart today?

Choosing confirmation names (Metro Creative Connection) Young people prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation in various ways. In addition to immersing themselves in religious studies and possibly attending a spiritual retreat, soon-to-be confirmands are asked to choose a saint’s name under which they will be confirmed. Patron saints serve as role models to confirmands as they continue their spiritual journeys. Choosing a saint’s name is not something to take lightly. Some people associate with a particular saint because the name reminds them of a certain family member, while others relate to saints who have come to be known for standing for something specific in their faith. Certain saints may be the patron saint of a prospective confirmand’s ancestral country, while others may be associated with a particular occupation the youngster hopes to one day pursue. It is difficult to pin down the exact number of holy
men and women who have been officially named as saints, and the true number is debatable, but various Catholic groups and theologians say there are more than 10,000 saints that the Catholic Church venerates. Regardless of the exact figure, confirmands have many special holy people who can serve as role models and guide them through both Confirmation and life. To begin the selection process, think about a particular trait or skill you admire, and then research saints who may have possessed these traits. Otherwise, you can narrow down the list of saints by choosing a general category. If you aspire to be a teacher, choose a patron saint of educators, such as Saint Catherine. If you are enamored with a certain area of the world, like Scotland or Russia, choose Saint Andrew, who is the patron saint of these countries. If a certain name has meaning to you, research the saint that bears that
name and find out if you feel spiritually guided by what the saint did in his or her life. It’s common for confirmands to want to pay homage to a lost relative or friend who shared the name of a particular saint. It is a way to be guided by two special people. You also can pray to God and ask for guidance in choosing a saint. Spending time in prayer may provide you with greater clarity. Also, reading religious texts can shed light on the lives of many influential saints throughout history. Head to the library or a bookstore and visit the religion section. Chances are you can find a book of saints. An added benefit to such an approach is the opportunity to learn more about your faith and the figures who helped shape it. If you need further assistance, speak with a clergy member at your church. A priest may have even more insight to share and can be a good resource to help guide you.

Treating weatherrelated joint pain STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
Early spring is often marked by wind and rain that precedes the more welcoming warmth synonymous with late spring and summer. Rainy, damp conditions may be great for homeowners looking to revitalize their lawns and gardens, but such conditions can wreak havoc on achy joints, especially for those who experience arthritis. Although there is no concrete proof to link aching joints and muscles with damp weather, rheumatologists are often asked why achy joints and muscles tend to ache that much more in damp weather. Dropping barometric pressure, which occurs when rain is on the horizon, may cause tissues to swell. Swelling tissues in already inflamed joints can add to pain, especially if these tissues push into nerves and muscles in the area. According to a survey published in the journal Pain, two-thirds of people living with chronic joint pain believe there is a link between their pain and weather changes. Changes in humidity and temperature also may play a role, affecting pressure all over the body. Joint pain may not be the only effect, as some people get headaches as well. While spring may be a painful time of year for sufferers of joint pain, there are steps such men and women can take to alleviate some of those aches. When rainy or cooler temperatures loom, try these ideas. See your doctor. If your pain is growing more severe, consult with your doctor, who may be able to develop a plan that helps you deal with the changing seasons more comfortably. Doctors may suggest chiropractic manipulation, or physical therapy or prescribe pain medications. Keep the body warm. Cold limbs and joints may be more prone to stiffness and pain. Dress in layers and use heating pads to combat chilly temperatures. Exercise painful joints. Rely on low-impact exercises, such as walking or swimming, to loosen up stiffness in the body. Loosening up and stretching before any intense workouts is recommended. Rainy weather may be in the forecast, and that can mean increased pain for those with achy joints. Working with a medical professional can help take the “ouch” out of seasonal changes.

Whenever you ride in a car, wear your seatbelt every time. No matter how short the trip is – even if it’s only around the corner. In fact, according to the CDC, using seat belts reduces serious injuries and deaths in car accidents by about 50%. Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children in the US. In fact, one third of children who died in crashes were not buckled up. We, as parents and caregivers, know how important it is to buckle up and protect our precious cargo. We need to continue to be diligent about buckling our kids in every time. But we also need to be diligent about ourselves. Motor vehicle crashes are also a leading cause of death for people ages 5 to 34. And, not surprisingly, seat belt use is the single most effective way to save lives and reduce injuries. We know this for our kids and we do something about it. We should do the same for

ourselves. Just as important as buckling up every time is wearing your seatbelt correctly. Did you know there was a correct way to wear a seatbelt? • The lap (lower) part of the belt should be sitting low and tight across the upper part of your hips. It should never go across the upper half of your belly. • The shoulder part of the seatbelt should fit snugly across your chest and shoulder, not under your arm or across your neck or face. So before you adjust the A/C or the radio, buckle yourself in. Every time. It’s

news around georgia Fast-food workers, others rally in push for higher pay COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — Fast-food workers rallied in College Park and planned another demonstration in Atlanta as they and others across the nation call for the federal minimum wage to be raised to $15. Organizers say they chose April 15 — tax day — to demonstrate because they want the public to know that many low-wage workers must rely on public assistance to make ends meet. In Georgia, protesters rallied in College Park at 6 a.m. Wednesday. They planned another demonstration at 5 p.m. at Clark Atlanta University. Nationwide, the Fight
for $15 campaign is being spearheaded by the Service Employees International Union and began in late 2012 with fast-food workers. Since then, organizers have used the spotlight to rally a variety of low-wage workers, including airport workers, home care workers and adjunct professors. Silver Airways adding routes throughout Southeast SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — An airline has announced plans to expand service throughout the Southeast. Silver Airways officials said in a statement Thursday they’ll start operating routes to New Orleans, Birmingham, Alabama, and the Savannah-Hilton Head airport.
Officials say the airline will begin operating routes in New Orleans and Birmingham June 16, service to Savannah-Hilton Head begins June 23. President and CEO of the Birmingham Airport Authority Alfonso Denson says officials are excited to expand service to Florida and New Orleans because both are popular destinations for business and leisure travelers. Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport Executive Director Greg Kelly says service to Orlando marks the first time the airport will have a direct route to Florida since 2011. Silver Airways is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and also travels to the Bahamas.

Man kills pup after wife destroys laptop over Facebook STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
A Conyers man was arrested last week after he allegedly attacked his wife and then hung her puppy off the balcony by its leash. Andrew Rolley, 25, was taken into custody April 9. He’s being charged with five counts of cruelty to children, one for each child that was present during the alleged attack, aggravated assault, aggravated stalking, cruelty to animals and hindering a person from making an emergency phone call. According to the Conyers Police report, around 9:30 p.m. on March 22, Andrew attacked his 24-year-old wife in front of five children, ages 6 and under, after Sarah threw his laptop off their second floor balcony because An-
drew refused to show her his Facebook page. When Andrew realized what his wife did to his laptop, he hit her “in the back of the head with his fist,” according the report. At one point, Sarah says that Andrew got on top of her and started to choke her until she “was not able to breathe or talk.” She also accused him of hitting her in the face. Medical examiners at the scene told the wife sshe should get herself X-rayed because she may have broken or fractured bones, according to the report. During the altercation, she managed to push Andrew off from on top of her and out the front door of the apartment, located in the 1000 block of Pine Log Rd., Conyers, according to the report. She says it was at this point that
Andrew used an outside stairway to access the balcony in the back of the apartment, where the puppy was located. “As I was walking up the stairs to the balcony, I heard the neighbors that lived on the bottom level say look,” the officer wrote in the report. “I looked up and saw a light brown pitbull puppy hanging by her leash over the balcony. The puppy did not fall through the rails, but had been thrown over the top rail.” The puppy was deceased. The wife told police the puppy belonged to her, and the last she saw the animal it was sleeping on the balcony shortly after she threw her husband’s laptop over the railing. Warrants for the wife’s arrest were obtained for aggravated stalking and criminal damage to property.

NEVER STOP SEARCHING MAIN: Bach Ma Mountain; INSET: Major Bobby Jones
N
ovember 28, 1972 - Udorn AFB, Thailand: The F-4 Phantom jet lifts off with Captain Jack Harvey at the controls. Flight surgeon Major Bobby Jones rides in the backseat. Major Jones is on the non-combat ‘hop’ to Da Nang, Vietnam, for one reason, to log the needed hours to maintain his flight surgeon status. The flight is uneventful until about 18 miles out from Da Nang. Something has gone horribly wrong in the vicinity of cloud-covered Bach Ma Mountain. The F-4 suddenly disappears from the radar screen at Da Nang. Emergency signals are heard in the area but rescue efforts are thwarted by heavy monsoon rains and enemy activity. Three days pass before search teams comb the rugged mountain terrain. They can find no signs of the two airmen; Jack Harvey and Bobby Jones are never heard from again. Now begins PETE MECCA a vexing and heartbreaking jourCOLUMNIST ney, a journey experienced by the families and loved ones of military personnel declared MIA: ‘Missing in Action’. Bobby Jones’ sister, Jo Anne Shirley, lives with a broken heart yet continues a frustrating journey in search of the truth from an uncaring bureaucracy, red tape, and indifferent politicians. This is her story…and her brother’s. Jo Anne recalls, “I was a 25 year old teacher at the time and my husband was in medical school in Augusta. My class was on the playground when my husband showed up at the class door. I knew something was wrong. He said two military men showed up at my mother’s door in Macon but she had refused to let them speak until dad got home. Dad rushed home, and that’s when my parents were informed that Bobby was flying backseat in an F-4 when it disappeared and was now listed as missing in action.” Bobby Jones did his internship at Salem Hospital in Dallas. His low draft number and fear of being pulled out of residency by Uncle Sam influenced a decision to join the Air Force as a Flight Surgeon. Jo Anne continued, “My husband and I were in Dallas before Bobby reported for deployment. Our family spent July together and we had a great time. Bobby left in September. I received a couple of letters from Bobby and I sent a package of goodies. That package came back unopened. I still keep that unopened package in a special room for my brother. Bobby had been in Southeast Asia for two months.” The long ordeal had just begun. “We tried to stay positive, praying he would at least be accounted for; that he would come home one way or the other. After a year we learned about the National League of POW-MIA families organized in 1970. The government didn’t tell us about it, they didn’t want us to know, didn’t want the families to be organized and putting pressure on the government. Mom and Dad attended their next meeting. When they returned, Dad said, ‘We will never miss a meeting. Those people understand what we’re going through.’ So I told my husband, ‘start saving your money, we’re going too.’ I’ve been to every meeting since.” Jo Anne’s mother stopped attending the meetings two years ago; she is now 98 years old. Her dad passed in 1994. Jo Anne continued, “We moved back to Georgia and got very active in the League. I ran for the board of directors and served for 18 years, 15 of those years as chairman.” The government will pay to fly two family members to Washington, D.C. each year. The families pay for their own rooms and personal expenses. Jo Anne describes the trip, “At least 14 congressional offices hear me pounding on their doors. About 50 percent of them care; the others refuse to meet with me. I still visit their offices and talk to support personnel, anyone there whose ear I can bend. My best supporter was Nathan Deal when he was a congressman. He always met with me. Even today if I need his support, Nathan is there. General Westmoreland came to meetings and Newt
Gingrich never missed one. I also met with Congressman Paul Broun. I introduced myself. He said, ‘You’re Bobby Jones’ sister, aren’t you?’ I asked how he knew. He replied, ‘Bobby and I attended medical school together. We were golfing buddies, good friends. Let’s sit down so you can tell me how to help you.’ A handful of politicians have been incredibly kind, productive; they are the real stand-up type of representative.” Jo Anne has visited Vietnam three times. “It’s been an amazing experience. I never thought a girl from Georgia would meet so many different people. Government officials from each country meet with us: Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and we start in Thailand. Our embassy, civilian and military, work out issues with other governments, get details on the next excavation, and iron out diplomatic issues. I meet with our ambassador every day in the planning stage.” She’s also met the King of Thailand. “On one trip we were escorted by Dick Childress, at that time the number two guy on the National Security Council. Dick knew everybody in every government. When we met the King of Thailand, the King came out saying, ‘Dickie, Dickie, Dickie,’ he had a great connection with Dick Childress. But the King looked at me as if saying, ‘who is that and why is she here?’ Same thing happened in Laos. I got the same stare when we met with the Laotian Defense Minister, sort of like, ‘who is she, and why is she here?’ Then we took a chopper into southern Laos, smack dab in the middle of the jungle, in the middle of nowhere, a tiny spot called Ta Oy. We spent two nights in tents. The excavation team works out of Ta Oy.” The only way in or out of Ta Oy is by chopper. “The Laotian Defense Minister and I finally hit it off,” Jo Anne stated. “Back at the Capital of Vientiane he hosted us to a nice restaurant, complete with Laotian dancers in their traditional garb. So, the guy asked me to dance. I laughed, but we danced, as did another female in our group with the Laotian Ambassador, and the Laotian dancers grabbed some kids and danced with them. It was a fun day.” Fun, in Laos, is rare. Jo Anne recalled, “The next day we flew from Laos to Cambodia but while we were at the airport at Vientiane we saw 3 caskets covered with the American flag being readied for loading onto another plane. I thought to myself, ‘this is why we do this, for all the MIAs still waiting to go home.’ As we watched the caskets load, the Defense Ministry must have seen the expression on my face. He gently touched me and said, ‘you will always be my sister.’” Time is running out for proper identification of Southeast Asia MIAs. Jo Anne explains, “The MIA families were notified about a year ago that the Asian soil is so acidic we only have about a 6 year window before bones of the missing completely erode. We’ve already seen that at certain sites; sometimes the bones have DNA, others do not. We’ll not give up after 6 years, but a positive ID will become more difficult.” Astonishingly, some families refuse to offer DNA to help identify MIAs. “We have a multitude of problems,” Jo Anne said. “Families refusing to volunteer DNA, sequestration has cut funds, now the government has a totally new big organization. The school is still out on the new organization, but we’ve never had good leadership in the defense POW/MIA office at the Pentagon. The guys that work the cases are awesome, but the leadership is lacking. JPAC (Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command) at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii has had horrible leadership in past years. Those people only cared about playing golf and their stepping stone to a promotion. One I did admire was General Kelly McKeague. He at-
tended every meeting, even in D.C., and we knew he was dedicated. I told him once there was only one thing wrong with him, but there was no way he could correct it. He pleaded with me to tell him his fault, promising he would correct it, but I insisted that change was impossible. He begged and begged, so I finally told him, ‘You graduated from Georgia Tech.’ The general’s wife burst out laughing.” Jo Anne receives strong family support. “My husband and other brother said, ‘you go anywhere, do what you need to do.’ Over the years we’ve spent about two hundred thousand dollars. I’ve also been blessed with friends like the dynamo Tommy Clack and Georgia Department of Veterans Service Commissioner Pete Wheeler. Those two have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me.” Jo Anne has never visited her brother’s crash site. “Board members are not allowed to do that; we do not go to our own crash sites in order to avoid complaints of neglecting other sites. Once when I was in Vietnam the chopper we were on flew near Bach Ma Mountain. An embassy official on the chopper pointed out the mountain but was covered in clouds. Same thing on the return trip, the mountain was surrounded by clouds. That made me realize how Bobby’s F-4 could have so easily disappeared into Bach Ma Mountain.” Resolve equates to results: Jo Anne stated, “It pays to have a big mouth and ask questions. I asked for the dialog from air traffic control at Da Nang. By doing so I found out 2 aircraft were in the area when Bobby disappeared. One landed, then someone asked, ‘where is Hunter 11?’ (Bobby’s F-4). They thought both planes had landed then realized Hunter 11 was missing and finally sent out the search party. Another incident, a friend came home from Vietnam a few weeks after my brother’s plane disappeared and told my parents another plane had taken photos of Bobby’s crash site. So I started asking questions.… ‘Where are these photos?’… Well, the military people looked at me like, ‘What are you talking about?’ I told them photos existed, I knew that for a fact.” The military researched. Lo and behold, they found the missing photos. Jo Anne read the riot act to the military hierarchy, “I told them, ‘here’s the deal, when you get the photos I want my own copies because obviously you can’t keep up with your own stuff. And chances are you’ll probably need my copies again!’ I got my copies. I’ve loaned those copies back to the military….twice.” Excavation of lower Bach Ma Mountain began in 1997. “That’s about 25 years after the crash. The idea of excavating below the crash site was that debris had probably been washed down the many ravines and gorges by a dozen mountain streams. They found nothing. In 2006 they went back for another dig. I demanded photos be taken. So, they’re walking around in the jungle and right there, lodged in the root of a tree, was a blood chit.” (Blood chits are pieces of fabric about a foot square with survival or friendly messages in about 6 different languages. Numbers are on the bottom of the fabric. When an airman is issued a flight vest these numbers are entered into a data base). Jo Anne continued, “The numbers on the chit correlated with Bobby’s numbers. They’ve found pieces of the F-4 but no human remains. My family received the blood chit 36 years to the day of Bobby’s crash. It was a very emotional time.” Connecting pieces of the puzzle, the military believes Bobby went down with the aircraft. Jo Anne wants to know, “Then where are the remains? I believe someone discovered the bodies and buried them, but that individual or people have either moved from the area or they are dead by now. The odds are not good for us to recover any remains.” Her final thoughts: “We are in a race against time; soil acidity, lack of funding, the local populace moving into and building in areas that were once battlefields. The military wants to bring our boys home, but military morale has deteriorated in our armed forces due to politics. Our military is in a fight for its own life. When our soldiers are sent into Harm’s Way they need to know they will be brought home, one way or the other. Yes, I would like Bobby to come home, but my concern is for the people serving today….not in the past.” Approximate number of the unrecovered: World War II – 73,800. Korea – 7,800. Vietnam – 1,600. The Cold War – 126. Pete Mecca is a Vietnam veteran, columnist and freelance writer. You can reach him at aveteransstory@gmail. com or aveteransstory.us.

EDUCATION
Teenager, Interrupted What your growing child needs from you, right now. My kids (or your kids) and I have been talking a lot lately about growing up, life experiences, and how we change, sometimes on a daily basis. I am working through several transitions of my own, and it’s hard, sometimes, to be the best person for them when I know I am still working on being the best person for me. Here are some ways to identify with, support, and love your teenager:
more than what they wear. They should know what they want, but they should not expect to be given it. Entitlement has become a very unattractive and unfortunately prominent trait among our youth.

Help them with real world stuff. Sadly, the common sense necessities such as KAITLYNN a resume, writing a check, and creatMOCKETT ing a budget have become a lost art. I COLUMNIST Support and encourage your child’s desire know three of my students own a checkbook, to take on more responsibility. An admiraeven fewer that can change the oil on their ble work ethic has become so rare; if your student has it, car. Prepare them. encourage it. Be aware of major deadlines, time frames, and proBe present. Be interested, ask them meaningful quescrastination in their lives. Job offers don’t sit for very tions, and figure out what they enjoy. Being a teenager long; college applications don’t open back up because is actually really hard (it was for me, and the things my you forgot the deadline; scholarships and grants often kids go through are far more insane), and nothing is work on a first come, first serve basis. Offer gentle remindworse than being told “you just wait until you’re a real grown ers to your student, or research these things with them.

But whelming; it was for me. they aren’t there yet. Which leads to my next point: Encourage your child to have their own life. TeenBe empathetic. Experiences are relative. Your daughagers, particularly this generation, are wilder and ter’s drama with her ridiculous “best friend” is silly, freer than they have maybe ever been. They are yes, but to her, it’s the end of the world. They are going constantly stimulated and influenced by the thouthrough huge changes, and the world is, too.

Reinforce self-respect. The things that come out of some of my students’ mouths shock me, and occasionally break my heart. Privacy is a lost idea, extinct in the face of social media and virtual interactions. Teach your children to love themselves, because trust me, their friends, their peers, their role models may not. As an educator, this is probably an awful thing to come out of my mouth, but as an artist, a creator and a citizen of our world, it is imperative nonetheless: teach your child to question everything. Being a critical thinker is more than being analytical. Our youth need to be able to think and process for themselves, particularly in a world that is telling them and talking at them more and more. Do not let your student be a yes man: encourage them to research, to inquire, to create. Their thoughts are just as valid and important as anyone else’s.
10
Love them. This would seem like a given, but you may be surprised. Your child will go through a million phases, a million lives, from the day they are born until the day they die. They will be stupid, reckless, careless, foolish, wrapped up in things that matter so little. Love them anyway. They will disappoint you, they will break your heart, they will lie and deceive and manipulate. Love them anyway. They are figuring this life out, too, and I am firm believer that we learn more from our negative experiences than our positive ones. In the same breath, loving them and enabling them are two different things. Be firm, be strong, be their parent. They need your structure, your wisdom and your words, not your friendship. It will take them much longer to figure it out (thank you, Momma). Kaitlynn Mockett is a first-year art instructor at Alcovy High School. She graduated from UGA in 2014.

If the judgment terminates your parental rights, you will no longer have any rights to your child. This means that you will not have the right to visit, contact, or have custody of your children or make any decisions affecting your children or your children’s earnings or property. Your children will be legally freed to be adopted by someone else. Even if your parental rights are terminated: (1) You will still be responsible for providing financial support (child support payments) for your children’s care unless and until your children are adopted; and (2) Your children can still inherit from you unless and until your children are adopted. As a biological father, you may lose all rights to the child(ren) named in a petition brought pursuant to this article and will not be entitle to object to the termination of your rights to such child unless, within 30 days of receipt of notices you file: (1) A petition to legitimate such child(ren); and (2) Notice of the filing of the petition to legitimate with the court in which the termination of parental rights proceeding is pending. This is a very serious matter. A party is entitled to an attorney in the proceedings. You should contact an attorney immediately so that you can be prepared for the court hearing. You have the right to hire an attorney and to have him or her represent you. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, the court will appoint an attorney if the court finds that you are an indigent person. Whether or not you decide to hire an attorney, you have the right to attend the hearing of your case, to call witnesses on your behalf, and to question those witnesses brought against you. If you have any questions concerning this notice, you may call the telephone number of the clerk’s office which is 770-784-2060. This is a summons requiring you to be in Court. If you fail to come to court as required you may be held in contempt of court and punished
