INSIDE: HOMETOWN HEROES WINNERS, 4A Legal fees, landfill and raises top BOC agenda MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com
Tuesday’s Board of Commissioners meeting was dominated by spirited discussions of the county’s legal spending, the citizen landfill committee and employee raises. Commissioner Nancy Schulz voted against approving the financial report after voicing frustration with the board’s lack of planning regarding legal costs, which were supposed to be discussed at a retreat in January that was cancelled. According to the financial report, legal services are at 139.3 percent of budget, with County Attorney Tommy Craig billing the county more than$800,000 so far this fiscal year. That does not include external legal services for issues such as the landfill.

A FIELD OF DREAMS Rain can’t put a damper on smiles at the Miracle League opening. SEE 1B FOR FULL STORY Nearly $900,000 owed in county taxes STAFF REPORTS mlutz@covnews.com
As the county approaches the budgetary event horizon, the Board of Commissioners will face tough decisions as department heads compete for resources and county employees grow increasingly impatient for raises. Meanwhile, nearly $900,000 in uncollected taxes are missing from the county coffers, with more than $3,000,000 owed to all entities, including the state, school system, and first responders. The News has compiled for publication a list of persons and entities owing significant sums ($15,000 or more). Some of these individuals or entities have declared bankruptcy, while others have entered into payment agreements with the county. The following represents real and personal property taxes, as well as public utilities and mobile homes. The names are as they appear on tax records. The amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

The true value of this court is changing lives marked by revolving door jails.” Ozburn told the audience that he had served as a judge for 20 years and over that time, the population in Georgia jails had increased over 200 percent while the state population had only risen 51 percent. The alternative sentencing combines mental health and substance abuse treatment with supervision by members of the Newton County sheriff ’s department, usually involves the person’s family, and can last between 18- and 24-months. To be eligible for the program, participants must be a resident of Newton County being prosecuted for a criminal act and must have been diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffected disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Those charged with felonies murder, armed robbery, rape, child molestation or other violent crimes, are not eligible for the program. The District Attorney’s Of-

It seemed appropriate that Daniel Pittman wore a T-shirt with the word “Hope” emblazoned on it. Pittman graduated from the Newton County Resource Court program on April 2 on April 24 at a ceremony held at the Judicial Center in Covington, Ga. Frank Berry, Commissioner for the state’s Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, gave the key note speech, congratulating Pittman on his accomplishments over the last two years. “This is your day,” Berry said. “We talk about the achievement you’ve had and what role you will play in Newton County [in the future]. You’re a role model now to others.” The program, also known as a Mental Health Court or Accountability Court, offers law enforcements officials and judges an alternative to sending an offender with long-term mental health issues to jail time. It addresses what Judge Samuel D. Ozburn of the Alcovy Circuit Resource Court calls the “revolving jail door” syndrome that punishes without providing treatment for underlying mental health issues that can lead to substance

The county appears to be making slow progress on its solid waste problems as the citizens’ panel dedicated to the issue convened for the first time this week. The meeting was held a day after the Board of Commissioners approved a proposal from the University of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government to facilitate the citizen landfill committee meetings for $12,500. The commissioners also revisited the committee’s scope of work, with Commissioner J.C. Henderson voicing particular concern for the fate of the recycling centers. He reiterated his readiness to cast an immediate ‘no’ vote on the landfill proposal. The board eventually agreed that the citizen committee should prioritize weighing the current proposed settlement before moving on to a more comprehensive review of the county’s solid waste management. The citizens’ panel met for the first time Wednesday night to lay
the groundwork for what should prove to be two months of intense research and debate. The panel includes Wayne Haynie, Brenda Mullins, Bob Stafford, Denny Dobbs, and Scott Willis. Haynie, who was elected as chair of the committee in light of County Manager Tom Garrett’s resignation, described the meeting as a “kickoffslash-get acquainted” session for committee members. “As a citizen, I feel obligated to step up and help,” said Haynie, who works as the regional water practice manager for Burns & McDonnell. “Some members of the committee have technical backgrounds, and we come from various parts of the county.” The committee was formed by the Board of Commissioners in reaction to the public outcry that erupted when the lease agreement, part of a proposed settlement, went public earlier this year. Under the settlement, the county would lease its landfill to a third party operator, Green Hill P3, and use the payments to buy adjacent land from the East Georgia Land
& Development Company in order to prevent East Georgia from suing the county for damages and constructing a private landfill. In order to make the landfill more profitable, Green Hill would increase daily disposal rates by four times and could apply to expand the landfill. Sharon Sawyer, another committee member, said the first meeting helped her understand the nature of the lawsuit that the county lost, as well as the current problems plaguing the landfill. A Sawyer expressed particular concern for the residents of the area near the landfill, many of whom are elderly. “We can’t move the landfill, but we can make it as safe as possible,” she said, adding that the prospect of expanding the landfill was “terrifying.” The committee discussed what documents they would need to request, as well as the experts they would like to consult, including John Gardner of Smith Gardner, and John Poore of Lamar County, which runs a successful landfill. The committee members are ex-
pecting to receive calls from experts at the Carl Vinson Institute before the next meeting, tentatively scheduled for May 7 at 1:30. Representing the institute will be Langford D. Holbrook and attorney Raye Rawls. According to the BOC-approved proposal, Holbrook has “more than 20 years’ experience working with communities in planning, administration and project management.” His clients include the City of Perry, City of Americus and Sumter County, City of Conyers, Gordan County, City of Suwanee, Athens Downtown Development Authority and the Jekyll Island Authority. Rawls “works in community leadership development with a specialty in conflict resolution.” She has worked for the Atlanta Regional Commission, the Atlanta Public School System, UGA’s Archway Project and the 10th Judicial District’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Program. The proposal includes a scope of work, outline for each meeting and deadline of July 31, 2015.

Police arrests alleged Walgreens thief STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
Christopher Westmoreland was arrested in connection with several robberies in Newton, Rockdale and DeKalb counties. The Decatur resident was identified by a citizen who saw a ‘Be On The Look Out’ issued Friday. Westmoreland was arrested and taken to the Rockdale County jail Saturday. Covington police were looking for Westmoreland in connection with a robbery of Walgreens at 3188 Hwy. 278 Thursday. According to reports, the white male entered the drug store and presented a note stating he had a gun and told the clerk to give him money from the draw. The man then left in a blue two-door Acura sedan with a spare tire on the front driver’s side. He is believed to be the same person responsible for three other robberies in DeKalb and Conyers. submitted photos / The Covington News

Haler leaving Porterdale for Conyers STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
Porterdale Main Street Director Terri Haler will be leaving her post to be the new tourism director for the city of Conyers. Haler’s last day working with Porterdale will be Friday, according to city manager Bob Thomson. She started with its Main Street program in 2013, after working with Newton County’s tourism
department and volunteering with Covington’s Main Street program. She had been with Newton County tourism since 2006, and was treasurer since 2007. In her Haler role, she helped develop Main Street Covington’s advertising and work within its budget. That experience made her a natural
fit for Porterdale’s Main Street Director when Mayor Arline Chapman, City Manager Bob Thompson and City Councilman Tim Savage were interviewing director candidates. Haler’s first day working with Conyers tourism will be Monday, according to Conyers Public Relations Director Jennifer Edwards. Haler is replacing former tourism director Harriet Gattis, who retired in January after nearly 20 years with the city.
$9.5 million coming to FFA/FCCLA Center STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com
The Georgia FFA/FCCLA Center in Newton County will receive an infusion of funds, with $9.5 million in additional grand funds in the fiscal year 2016 state budget to construct new buildings. Newton County legislators State Sen. Rick Jeffares, R-McDonough and State Rep. Dave Belton, R-Buckhead, announced the funds Monday. The House of Representatives gave final, unanimous, approval to the fiscal year 2016 budget, or HB 76, on Tuesday, March
31, 2015. “I’m proud of the Georgia General Assembly for their support of this beautiful facility through the 2016 state budget,” Jeffares said. “I would like to especially thank the members of our local delegation for working with us to secure the important funds. The FFA- FCCLA Center provides more than 30,000 children with more than 160,000 meals every year.” The 75-year old facility will see new construction, including for a dining hall and activities center. “These funds will allow the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center to construct a new
30,000 square foot dining facility and 15,000 square foot new activity center. The banquet hall will be one of the largest meeting areas this side of Atlanta,” Belton said. “The activity center is a multipurpose facility that will seat more than 700 for a banquet meal. These buildings will be available for countless organizations in Newton and the surrounding counties to use and enjoy. We are proud to be able to support this facility in Newton County” The FFA/FCCLA is one of the largest youth camps in Georgia. The current dining facility is more than 75 years old.

Airport Road an issue for Flint Hill parents, repairs could cost $14,000 BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com
Many parents of Newton County School System students have made expressed concern over traffic problems caused by a portion of Airport Road being closed. The road has been off limits to drivers since Sunday when heavy rains flooded the area. At Tuesday’s BOC meeting, Chairman Keith Ellis said heavy rains flooded the dry creek bed at Airport Road, proving too much for the existing pipes. Ellis said the pipes would be replaced for about $14,000. The road doesn’t have any visible potholes or other hazards but flood waters eroded what would be under the pavement. In order to help alleviate the traffic situation, Newton County Sheriff ’s Office deputies are assisting with the high volume of traffic for Flint Hill Elementary School parents. “That will help alleviate the situation somewhat; however, traffic is still expected to back up considerably,” Newton County School System Director of Public Relations Sherri Davis-Viniard said. “Especially during the morning commute, as the roadways in the immediate vicinity will not
only be full of school traffic but also daily work commuters.” Ellis said he hopes to see airport road opened in the next two weeks. In the meantime, NCSS is encouraging parents of Flint Hill Elementary School students to leave early when driving their children to school. Flint Hill opens at 7 a.m. each school morning. Viniard said school officers report major traffic backups or delays near the school until after 7:15 a.m. “This is not something that can be fixed or avoided, even with officers conducting traffic,” Viniard said. “The longer you wait the more traffic you will encounter.” Residents of the area of Flint Hill are also asked to use alternate routes that bypass Highway 142 during pick up and drop off times. The majority of traffic delays have been encountered during the morning commute as roadways are busy with both school and work traffic. Delays in afternoon traffic have not been as severe as the school dismissal time does not coincide with end-ofday work traffic.

Porterdale to install restrooms in Yellow River Park this summer SANDRA BRANDS news@covnews.com
Kayakers, hikers and picnickers will be relieved to learn that the City of Porterdale will move forward with installing portable toilets in Yellow River Park this summer. At the city’s work session April 23, council members approved the installation of the facilities, one handicapped accessible, in the park near the kayak launch, at a cost of approximately $800 for the four months. “We need to get something in place, and once we can get the basics there, we can work our way up to a more sophisticated solution,” said Mayor Arlene Chapman. The portable toilets will be provided while the city works on building more permanent facilities, most likely in a renovated rail car on site. The cost for the renovation is estimated to be between $12,000 and $24,000, and city officials will investigate whether or not they can use some of the grant money they received for the kayak launch and recreational trails in Yellow River Park. An ordinance banning smoking in city-owned parks will be voted on at the May 4th council meeting. The ban would bring the city’s policies in line with Newton County’s Recreation Departments anti-tobacco policies adopted by neighboring counties. The ban had been discussed at previous meetings, but the final vote has not been held. However, some council members expressed concern that such a ban would have an economic impact on The Social House Restaurant, Argyll Coffee House and other restaurants in the area. The council opted to put the original ordinance on next month’s agenda, and would decide what to do about smoking in other areas of the city at a later date. A special called meeting of the council followed the closing of the work session. The council went into executive session to discuss personnel matters.

HOMETOWN HEROES
The Covington News
KATLYN WILLIAMS IS OUR 2014
HOMETOWN
HERO BRYAN FAZIO
bfazio@covnews.com
Indian Creek Middle School student Katlyn Williams was named Hometown Hero Wednesday by The Covington News and General Mills. In its sixth year, the Hometown Hero award is presented to a Newton County citizen or employee who acted in a heroic manner to help others. Any citizen The Covington News comes across who acts in a heroic manner is nominated as a Hometown Hero. The person then goes to a public voting process, and is selected by our readers. “We honor someone who goes above and beyond without expecting anything in return,” said T. Pat Cavanaugh, Publisher of The Covington News. One person who didn’t expect or ask for anything was Williams. In early 2014, Williams lost her grandfather, Joseph Cimon, to Parkinson’s. A few months later in March her 13th birthday arrived. Rather than looking forwward to receiving gifts from her 55 invitees, Williams decided to
tell them not to bring gifts but to donate to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Thanks to her selflessness, Williams raised $800 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the American Parkinson’s Disease Association. Parkinson’s is a disease Williams wants to help fight due to the condition she saw her grandfather in. “He couldn’t remember family members, and he was really a smart man. He was a professor at the University of Mississippi,” Williams said. The other finalist for the Hometown Hero was Marine Corporal Bryce Burton. Burton won a national award at the 2014 Marine Corps Heritage Foundation dinner for his film “Commitment” about Sgt. Gallegos, who had suffered second- and third-degree burns from an accident in Iraq. But after a six-year recovery period, which included 156 surgeries and physical therapy, Gallegos reenlisted in the Marine Corps. He started school at Camp Lejeune to become an administrative clerk. The short film chronicled what it was like to walk in Gallegos’ shoes.
Bryce Burton, who won a national award at the 2014 Marine Corps Heritage Foundation dinner for his film “Commitment” about Sgt. Gallegos, was the Hometown Hero runner up.

our thoughts Hometown Hero For the last six years we have had the honor to recognize people in our community who through their actions and deeds have gone the extra mile to help their neighbors or their family. These folks had no intention of being recognized for their great acts of compassion. For the past six years our partner in honoring folks like this has been General Mills, and together we awarded the finalists with a special recognition, plaque and a big basket of General Mills goodies. We have purposely kept the ceremony to award the Hometown Hero low key because by their unassuming actions the good works have been unsung and low key. This year’s runner up is former Marine Corporal Bryce Burton , who not only saved a fellow Marine but without prior experience filmed the life story of Marie hero Sgt. Isaac Gallegos, Bryce is a lifelong resident of Newton County, has a beautiful young family and won the prestigious Sgt William Genaust award for excellence. This year’s Hometown Hero winner is 14-year-old Katlyn Williams who in honor of her grandfather raised money for Parkinson’s disease and acts as a counselor for other young teenagers who have lost their grandparents. We are proud to honor this year’s Hometown Hero’s receiving honorable mention are: T.K. Adams, Tichelle Florence, Jason Stribling, Jajuan Shaw, Joseph Griffin and Robin Sloman. It doesn’t take much to be a hero only a caring heart and courage. This year’s winner and honorable mentions have more than enough of both.

cade ago when Dan Rather reported a hit piece on President George W. Bush based upon fraudulent documents. Before the digital era, that story would likely have survived and might have even altered the 2004 election. But in the new era, traditional journalists were no longer the only game in town. Bloggers did the fact-checking that CBS had failed to do. Eventually, the network had to pull the story and Rather was pushed out of the anchor chair. The legacy media outlets had lost their monopoly, and elite journalists have never recovered from the shock. When the history of this era is written, this media transition will be hailed as a great success. Bloggers and the early citizen journalists will be seen as key players in breaking down privileged monopolies to democratize the news. The increased sharing of multiple perspectives and community vetting of stories will be seen as a great service to the nation. That doesn’t make it any easier for traditional journalists. But it’s a reason for the rest of us to be more optimistic. To find out more about Scott Rasmussen and read features by other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit www.creators.com.

letters to the editor We need help on McGibboney Road Dear editor, With all the earth shattering news this week and the possibility of a naval confrontation in the Middle East this may seem trivial, but only because you don’t live on McGibboney Road. This problem with speeders, wrecks and way too much traffic for a neighborhood street continues and the ‘solution’ to the problem, the so called engineer, Tom Garrett, who was appointed County Manager — illegally I might add — ‘worked on it’ for over an year and it is still just as much of a problem today as it was before the commissioners and their golden boy got on it. As a result of this situa-
tion, I decided to see what other areas have such similar situations. As I ride around the state I seek areas which look familiar to the McGibboney Road problem. I would like to point out that the one I liked the best is on Bell Road in Conyers, Rockdale County. I will get around to talking to a few residents when I get a chance to see how this started and how it has played out. I suppose we will have to go up and take actual photos of these and have them enlarged so the commissioners in Newton County can see just how simple it is to fix problems like these. Again, if I were a commissioner I would simply say, “You see this photo of a speed hump? I want you to go to McGibboney Road and place enough of
these on the street to assure the residents there will be no more speeding and no more wrecks. You may start first thing on Monday morning. I expect the work to be complete by the end of the week. If you can’t get the job done, you just let me know and I will find someone who can.” Do we have any management skills on the commission whatsoever?

Zoning changed for $22 million nursing home BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com
A $22 million nursing home facility and more than 100 jobs could be headed toward Covington as the city council approved to rezone an area on Dearing Street. Kippy Clarke of B&B Southside Holdings Co. and Robert Bullard, an agent with Bullard Land Planning, came before the council Monday night requesting the 7.31 acre parcel on Hwy. 142 be changed from Neighborhood Residential-2, allowing single family homes, to Corridor Mixed use in order to have the three-building complex, reaching as tall as four stories.
The original ordinance allowed for single-family residential home on the property, where the newly zoned ordinance is a mixed use district intended primarily for mixed-use development and related uses at a higher density. According to the city of Covington’s code “the district provides a location for residences retail, goods and services and offices to satisfy the common and frequent needs of the city’s businesses and residents with design standards and design parameters to encourage a pedestrian-friendly traditional urban form, oriented to pedestrians, which will limit the conflicts between
vehicles and pedestrians.” Much discussion ensued whether or not the zoning should be changed, mostly due to the fact that if the project did not go forward, what would become of the former residential area. However, Clarke, the leader of the project, emphasized to the council that the nursing home project – Royal Hall – would be a luxury-style resort. It would have three buildings, a four-story structure for 55-and-older living, a three-story building for senior care and a three-story building for Alzheimer’s patients. According to a proposal submitted by Bullard, “the developers are planning a
Four possible budget scenarios discussed news@covnews.com
Newton County school officials discussed four possible budget scenarios for the next school year that could cease any furlough days, increase the amount of money paid to the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and raise for all employees’ salaries in the Newton County School System (NCSS). The budget scenario discussed in detail by the NCSS during the Tuesday afternoon special-called meeting was one that would restore salaries halfway to their 2009 amounts, before the Great Recession hit, and increase 403B contributions by one percent to 2.5 percent in fiscal year 2016. These two factors would cost the NCSS about $1.8 and $1 million dollars. The total budget increase over the current school year in this plan would be about $10.6 million, which would raise the NCSS expenditures to about $159.3 million. In this scenario, with revenues increasing by about $8 million to $155.8 million, the NCSS project to have a remaining general fund balance of about $19.3 million by the end of next school year, or $1.5 million less than the general fund balance at the end of the current school year. “The focus of this budget is truly a salary study and implementation of that salary studies results so that our teachers and our school system staff are positively impacted for the work they put in day in and day out, especially those who have been with us through the recession and have endured not having any pay increases,” said NCSS Superintendent Samantha Fuhrey. Other reasons for the possible budget increase are: • Increase in health insurance cost by
POLICY
>> FROM FRONT PAGE Commissioner Nancy Schulz through the county clerk that he would appoint Junior Hilliard to represent him. Hilliard has held the contract to operate the county’s 11 recycling centers for 20 years. The county has not sought competitive bids for the contract since 2001. Hilliard’s contract was renewed for five years in 2013 by Commissioners Douglas, Henderson and Levie Maddox, overruling objections by Schulz and Commissioner Lanier Sims who wanted a one-year contract with a request for proposals. Hilliard is also Henderson’s appointee to the Water and Sewer Authority and the citizen committee reviewing the form of government. Schulz responded by email, writing, “… [Henderson’s] appointment of Mr. Hilliard is a conflict of interest since he is a vendor of Newton County.” “Based on our work today, we are very close to a final draft of the Purchasing Policy. I suggest he select a representative for the final meeting that is not in a vendor relationship with Newton County,” she wrote. Commissioner Douglas responded by email in turn expressing support for Henderson’s right to choose a representative. “On general principle, if a commissioner wants to appoint someone to a committee, that is their decision to make,” Douglas wrote. Maddox, who is also serving on the purchasing policy committee, Sims and Henderson could not be immediately reached for comment. Tom West, a retired accountant on the committee, said he was not surprised by Henderson’s action. “This is just exactly the same trick you would always expect from J.C., and the real
“It’s called Royal Hall Senior Living Center for a reason,” Clarke said. “When you drive by it, you’ll know it’s first class all the way.” Mayor Ronnie Johnston asked if the zoning ordinance could be included with a revert clause to go back to the original ordinance if the nursing facility isn’t built, and City Attorney Ed Crudup agreed. A motion was then going to be brought up by the Councilwoman Janet Goodman to take two weeks to look more into the ordinance wording. However, the motion was accidentally overlooked, and Councilman Chris Smith made a motion to pass the rezoning request

facility that serves the residents of the resort like complex with first class dining and amenities, but also offers service such as ball room entertainment, a move theatre, exercise facilities and salon/ spas that will meet as many of their basic needs and desires as possible.” Clarke said the project is expected to cost $22 million, will have 254 units, a 24-hour café, movie theater for 100 people on site, indoor exercise pool, outdoor Olympic size pool, tennis court and access to Ashton Hills Golf Course. He also told the council it would take an estimated 115 full-time employees to run the facility.
$1.2 million • Hiring at least 14 new employees at a cost of about a million dollars • Removing furlough days which would cost $1.6 million • An increase in the cost utilities, fuel, instructional software and technology maintenance by $652,140 The other three scenarios of budgets included one without any pay increases, another that fully restores salaries to the 2009 levels next school year and the last would restore salaries to 2009 totals by fiscal year 2017. While the Newton County School Board (BOE) and the NCSS were in agreement that more was needed in terms of help for administrators and higher salaries, Fuhrey urged patience as the school districts recovers from the effects of the recession. “We are balancing out that work with the people that we have in an effort to restore salaries to our employees, and then, as we get that under control, then we would come back with some different recommendations,” she said. “We’re doing the minimum that we can to continue our efficiency with the hope that some point in the future we can add more teachers, we can add more administrator staff to support teachers.” During the meeting, 14 capital projects costing $7.2 million of special purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST) money was also discussed, including purchasing new school buses, cameras for the school buses, computers and new gym floors at select elementary schools. The BOE would approve a tentative budget for the 2016 school year next month, with a final budget needing to be approved before the end of the fiscal year, June 30.
question is: What’s in it for J.C.?” West said. In its current form, the new draft purchasing policy would require requests for professional and contracted services to include at least three competitive written quotes for any service valued at more than $2,500. Previously, the language was vague in regard to competitive bidding for such services. Since its inception, the committee has been marked by tension over whether services should be subject to the same regulations as other goods and supplies. Two weeks ago, Chairman Keith Ellis pulled his citizen nominee, Ann Neuhierl, who had been openly critical of the county’s policy, particularly regarding legal spending. According to public documents, County Attorney Tommy Craig has billed the county more than $800,000 so far this fiscal year. That figure does not including payment to external attorneys for specific cases. Schulz has criticized the board for failing to require a scope of work and estimated cost on projects assigned to Craig, who also owes millions in federal back taxes and penalties. According to a report distributed by Schulz Thursday night before the meeting, Craig is the second highest paid vendor after NaphCare. At Friday’s meeting, Ellis introduced Julias Hays, his replacement for Neuhierl, as a “thinker” and “problem solver.” “Julias has the ability to work well with other folks in order to get things accomplished,” Ellis said. The committee also heard from transportation department head Aaron Wadley, and discussed how to incorporate transportation purchasing policy, which is subject to stricter federal and state regulations that can change. The committee agreed to present the draft policy to the constitutional officers for feedback before its final meeting the first week of June.
>> FROM FRONT PAGE “We just seem to be stuck in this legal services [issue],” she said, adding that the county spends between $80,000 to $90,000 a month on legal services. “What’s the plan since...the slope keeps going in the same direction. We don’t seem to be making any changes.” County Attorney Tommy Craig replied that he had been working on a proposed settlement over the landfill since October 2013, when he was authorized by the board to explore options following the county’s defeat at the Georgia Supreme Court. “I put a lot of work into this proposal,” Craig said. Schulz insisted it was a matter of “dollars and cents,” asking “Where is the money coming from for this?” Commissioner Lanier Sims chimed in to remind the board that Craig carried out work assigned to him. “The problem, in my opinion, comes down to the five plus the chairman that sits up here,” he said. “We need to seriously sit down and talk about the plan.” The BOC tabled approval for SRG Global, formerly Covington Moulding, to dig monitoring wells in the vicinity of the company’s location as part of its corrective action plan to address chemical contamination. The commissioners revisited the committee’s scope of work, with Commissioner J.C. Henderson voicing particular concern for
as is, before it was seconded by Keith Dalton. The confusion brought on a five minute recess. After the recess, Smith remade his motion to pass the rezoning request from Neighborhood Residential-2 to Corridor Mixed Use on the 7.31 acres located on Hwy. 142, and Dalton remade his motion for a second. The motion passed unanimously 6-0. “It looks like a great thing for the city of Covington to me.” said the owner of the property, Sam Hay. “I think it will be a great thing for us , and of course at 83 years old, I’m probably going to be one of the first one’s in there.”
the fate of the recycling centers. He reiterated his readiness to cast an immediate ‘no’ vote on the landfill proposal. The board then moved on to other issues, including approving a proposal from the Carl Vinson Institute of Government to facilitate the citizen landfill committee meetings for $12,500. The board eventually agreed that the citizen committee should prioritize weighing the current proposed settlement before moving on to a more comprehensive review of the county’s solid waste management. The board heard several zoning cases. The board denied a variance to Michael Taylor of 60 Radcliffe Trail who had applied for a temporary exception to park his tractor trailer cab on his driveway. The board approved a petition by William Frank and George Bennett Stokes to rezone and subdivide four acres of their 132.48 acre tract on North Johnson Street for family homes, leaving the rest of the plot in conservation. Commissioners also approved Sally Doan’s application to subdivide 3.6 acres of her 73.61 acre tract on Wehunt Road for professional office use and leave the remaining acreage in consideration. The board wrapped up the meeting with a discussion of raises for county employees not covered by the recent salary increases granted to the Sheriff ’s Office and Fire Department. County Manager Tom Garrett recommended a market survey to determine how best to implement raises, which, he pointed out, are necessary if the county is to retain talented employees.

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN
Newton County Recreation’s Miracle League Field

SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com
A field of dreams has become a miracle. Before Newton County Recreation’s Miracle League Field had its grand opening on Saturday, parents and special needs children were forced to travel to Rockdale to play in its Miracle League. Now, after years of planning, development, bad weather and more bad weather, the Miracle League of Newton
County is a reality. “It’s awesome because kids like my daughter, we don’t have to travel as far to play now and [we] know that she’s with good company,” Laurie Gates, whose daughter plays for the Rays, said. “They’ve done all of this for kids so they can play a game just like everybody else. It’s a beautiful field and it’s been so many people that did a lot of things for this to come true in Newton County and it’s great. We appreciate everything that everybody’s done.”
“It’s very exciting,” Tommy Hailey, former Newton County Recreation Commission Director, said. “You see something you were able to be a part of starting and overcoming obstacles that we’ve had to overcome with the weather throughout the year. It’s just great to be here and be a part of it.” The Miracle League has 72 athletes that are split up into six teams, with 12 athletes per team. For this season at least, all games will be played on Saturday, but as they add more ath-

Eastside completed a sweep of Spalding in a doubleheader at home on Thursday to give the Eagles a shot at obtaining a No. 3 seed in the state playoffs at minimum. With the weirdly constructed way Eastside’s region is set up, despite going 15-3 in Region 4-AAAA, the Eagles will likely be the No. 4 seed forcing them to travel to play Wayne County in the first
round of the state playoffs. “I feel like we’re a whole lot better than a fourth place team, but it’s out of our hands. We had one bad week. We’ve only lost in the region one week,” Bruce Evans, Eagles’ head baseball coach, said. Eastside will finish tied with Pike County for the second best record in the region, yet the Eagles won’t have the opportunity to host their own playoff

Middle schooler building high profile SHAKEEM HOLLOWAY sholloway@covnews.com
No matter what they tell you, size always matters. Liberty Middle School offensive lineman Devin Durden has the size, quickness and tremendous work ethic of a future Division-l offensive lineman. Durden helped his team win a Newton County middle school championship this past season and earned multiple honors from borntocompete.com (B2C). B2C selected Durden to the All-B2C team for middle school players, named him a finalist for the offensive lineman of the year award and ranked him the eighth best player in the Class of 2019. Tabria Colston, Durden’s mother, has three boys – with Devin being the middle child – and all of them play football. Coming off his visit to Florida State he’s already ahead of where his older brother Daniel Durden V – currently a freshman lineman at Valdosta State – was at his age. Colston says Devin has really come along these past two years.
She says that because of Durden V’s passion for football, Devin is much further along and better because of it. “I keep them active. My first one just kind of held on to football. I guess being out there with him every Saturday and the practices it’s almost like it’s expected at this point from all of them. It’s like our little tradition we passed down,” Colston said. “I just wanted to be like him and did everything he did,” Devin added. “I just did what he did. When he went to practice, I tried to go practice with him. He lifted weights, I lifted weights. I just do whatever he does.” Colston says that of her three children, Devin is the quiet one. She says he’s humble and stays to himself – a homebody. Colston added that she wants Devin to use his athletic abilities to get a degree. “The NFL is such a small, minute population,” Colston said. “I want him to be able to at least obtain a college degree.

Rockdale County edged Newton out in three of the five All-Star events on Wednesday evening, as the Rockdale girl All-Stars won their game while representatives of Salem (Shay Tarver) and Heritage (Rashad Jones) won the girls and boys three-point contests respectively. Eastside’s own Timothy Haynes won the dunk contest with a high-flying slam over two Alcovy players and the NewRock boys All-Star game ended in a tie after overtime. Ayanna Mitchell was named MVP of the girls All-Star game where she totaled 18 points. Rockdale’s Dwayne Brown and Newton’s Malik Wilson were named Co-MVPs of the boys All-Star game. Brown finished with 20 points (17 in the first half) while Wilson led Newton with 21 points, making five threes.

CHAMP YOUNG
on Eastside soccer By Shakeem Holloway
Eastside boys soccer is entering the state playoffs as the No. 4 seed from Region 4-AAAA. The Eagles have an overall record of 9-6 and a region record of 7-4. The distance between being No. 1 in that region and being No. 4 is slim, but the Eagles edged out four other teams with the same region record in a tough region to advance to the playoffs. We spoke with Eastside head coach about the team’s mindset entering the playoffs and the growth of the team from the beginning of the season until now. The Covington News: Your team is entering the playoffs as a four seed, but in terms of record and play you don’t seem like the usual No. 4 seed. Is that the team’s mindset right now?
CAMANI SMITH Alcovy didn’t manage to beat Salem in its regular season finale, but they did conclude in a 1-1 tie. The one goal the Tigers got was a beautiful free kick from Camani Smith just outside the box.
Champ Young: I’ll be honest with you, I think we have more losses on the schedule than I think we should have right now. We dropped a lot of the ones that we shouldn’t have and we played a lot of tough opponents in the beginning of the year to prep us for the state playoffs, but as far as our mentality right now we lost to Jonesboro on Wednesday and we didn’t play very well. We’ve changed up a lot of the stuff the way a lot of is gonna be what we’re going to do next year as well, we’ve already started trying to implement those changes. It’s been helpful so much the last two days of training. There’s a whole sense of focus that has not been there at this level all year which I’m really, really pleased with. CN: What are your concerns, if any, heading into Wednesday’s game? Young: Dealing one with the travel. It’s a four hour trip for one. Just the unknown because they’re so far away we don’t know anything about ‘em and just making sure that we’re mentally tough enough to play the game that we’re supposed to play rather than try to come down there and play the style that we’re not accustomed to playing. Hopefully we can maintain our level like we’ve been working on the last few weeks. CN: How has the team grown from the beginning of the season to now? Young: We’re really, really young so a lot of its just kind of a coming of age thing. We have a lot of sophomores, that are putting in a lot of time. Sophomores, freshmen and a couple seniors sprinkled in here or there. A lot of this is a coming of age thing. I’ve rode them hard this year in hopes that they would get it together hopefully here at the end and they’re getting there. I spent a lot more [time] on this year’s sophomore class than I have in year’s past because they have the potential.

Rams clinch No. 3 seed JAVON DICKERSON news@covnews.com
There isn’t a better way to finish off the baseball season and prepare for the playoffs than a series against your rival. The third and fourth seed from Region 2-AAAAAA, Newton and Rockdale, started a three-game series on Tuesday, and finished up on Thursday. Though Newton lost the series after losses in the first two games, the Rams took the final regular season game of the season and sealed the three-seed with a 4-0 win over Rockdale, Thursday evening. It was not the series that Newton expected though they took the game three win. Going into the series, Newton was on an eight-game winning streak and Rockdale was on a six-game losing streak. Both teams were trending in opposite ways. But the desperation for a win showed for the Bulldogs and had a positive effect. “It was very important for us to come in here and at least give them a good game,” Rockdale Head Coach Jonathan Brewer said. Rockdale defeated Newton soundly in the first two games with a combined score of 17 runs for the Bulldogs and just five runs for Newton. Rockdale’s Jeff Sweat put up a solid outing in the first game to give Rockdale a 7-1 victory. Sweat pitched a complete game giving up only one run, eight hits and two walks. Newton helped Rockdale in the process of the game with four of Rockdale’s runs being unearned. C.J. Clark and Vincent Johnson each had base-hits that brought runners in for Rockdale. Newton’s single run came on a solo home-run by Auliver Astin. In the next game Rockdale kept the magic going on that Wednesday evening as it was Senior Night for the Bulldogs. It seemed that Newton didn’t bring the bats to compete in game one, but in game two it seemed they didn’t bring their gloves. Committing errors on the defensive end leading to a convincing 10-4 win for Rockdale. At this point, Rockdale had all the momentum in the series and were on the cusp of sweeping their region rivals. On Thursday evening, it was Senior Night for Newton and it was the third game of the series that had serious playoff implications. The winner of game three would clinch the No. 3 seed, leaving the loser to play the top-seed of Region 1-AAAAAA in the first round of the state playoffs. That team is Tift County
C N
(20-4, 9-2) currently ranked the No. 14 team in the state according to MaxPreps. Hence, both teams had a lot to play for. Newton put their lefty Mason Calloway on the mound, who may be the Rams best all-around player, to try and steal a win to finish off the season. Calloway took on the challenge and responded like any great player would. To say he dominated would be an understatement. Pitched a full game giving up only two hits and two walks, and did it while only throwing 84 pitches. “He [Calloway] is a bulldog,” Newton Head Coach Andre Byrd said. “Mason is the best player in the state if you ask me.” Since it was Senior Night, Newton got a huge boost from one of their only four seniors. First baseman Joshua Howard went 2-3 bringing in two runs on his base hits. In the bottom of the third after a single and stolen-base from Augustus Murray, Howard opened up the scoring with a RBI-single to give Newton an early 1-0 lead. Newton kept that lead until the fifth inning where Murray hit another single to lead off the inning. Rockdale then walked Calloway and Alex Johnson. Howard came up to the batter’s box with the bases loaded and one out. He hit the ball in a gap between first and second base that scored another run for Newton. Immediately after, Auliver Astin had a base-hit that brought in two more runs to seal the game for the Rams. The series was great for both teams, and positives effects can be taken away by each side. For Rockdale, they got out of their funk with that six-game losing streak, and now can have some confidence going into the playoffs as they take on Tift County. “I have been a part of upsets in the playoffs on both sides,” Brewer explained. “We’re just going to have to fight and battle and do the best we can.” For Newton, they were humbled by losing two games after being on an eightgame winning streak of their own. They now know that it’s going to take maximum effort and focus to win the playoffs as they take on Lee County. “Finishing at three [third seed] with this young group is very important,” Byrd said. “Because at the beginning of the season, I was just hoping I can get them in.”
EAGLES
>> FROM PAGE 1B game. Still, Eastside came to play against Spalding, showing the Wayne County scouts that were in attendance why the Eagles shouldn’t be looked as a pushover or a normal No. 4 seed. The Eagles won the first game 4-2 and the second 15-4 to complete the series sweep. Both games convey just how good the Eagles are in the way they win. Charlie Greenich pitched the first game and went all seven innings and allowed just two hits while throwing six K’s. However, Greenich did walk four batters and he hit two, both of which are two things Evans doesn’t like as a head coach. He considered sitting Greenich around the fifth inning for Gray Ritchie, who would inevitably start the second game, but Evans stuck with him and Greenich rewarded him. Eastside hit the ball all over the place throughout the night, but in the first game against Spalding’s ace pitcher, the Eagles left six runners stranded on base which is an area they’ll have to improve if they’re going to make any noise in the playoffs. Spalding couldn’t hit Greenich, forcing its coach to manufacture hits by bunting, but most of them if not all of them were fielded by third baseman Nick Womack for the easy out, who played excellent defensively in both games. “I feel like Womack’s one of the best high school third basemen that I’ve seen so if they want to bunt it to him, I’m OK with that,” Evans said confidently. After taking a 4-2 lead through four innings, Greenich held Spalding scoreless the rest of the way and the Eagles got the win. In the second game Eastside put a stranglehold on the contest early by jumping out to a 6-0 lead after two and a half innings. Austin Kerbow opened up the game with a twoRBI shot between first and second to score Jared Jones and Josh Sims. Later in the
The Covington News inning, Jake Jones avoided a tag to bring in Hunter Ballard on the RBI-single. The Eagles finished the first inning up 3-0 and added three more runs at the top of the second and third innings. Then the Eagles got complacent with a comfortable lead and one of their best pitchers if not the best in Ritchie on the mound. Spalding got on the board quickly with some help due to errors on Eastside’s behalf. By the bottom of the fourth inning the Jaguars had shortened Eastside’s lead to two runs. With one out and two runners in scoring position Evans called for Ballard to come in and pitch. Ballard walked the first batter to load the bases and struck out the second before letting his defense make a play to get the third batter out. It didn’t count as a save, but that’s essentially what he did. “I can’t say enough about that kid right there coming in with second and third and one out,” Evans said. “I don’t remember how it went down, but I know two batters came up and he got both of ‘em out. That was a huge momentum swing for us.” Facing the their third pitcher of the game, in the sixth inning the Eagles showed their dominance and scored nine runs to build a 15-4 lead. “They threw a lot of pitches at us that were away and throughout this year we’ve been trying to pull those pitches. We had a long talk this week and before this game started and I said, ‘Look, let’s not wait three innings to decide to start hitting this ball to right field. Let’s go ahead and give him that pitch out there that we want to hit.’ We want to hit what you want to throw,” Evans said. “We know what they’re trying to throw to us, let’s just be willing to hit that pitch and go up there and look for that pitch and hit it the other way. And, man, we did it.” Jared Jones, Sims and Austin Holloway started off the inning with hits that loaded the bases. Womack struck out next and then Kerbow poked a
two-strike two-RBI hit to left that scored Sims and Jared Jones. Jake Jones would bring in Austin after an error allowed Chase Raines to get to base, who had a pretty good series offensively, and loaded the bases. Justin Moore came in to pinch hit for Connor Hewell and he went down swinging, giving Eastside two outs for the inning with a 9-4 lead. But the Eagles weren’t done. Ballard blasted a shot to center for a two-RBI single scoring Kerbow and Raines putting runners at the corners. Jared Jones would hit a double-RBI to score his twin Jake Jones and Sims got walked on his at-bat, loading the bases. Holloway dropped a blooper in center to score Ballard and Jake Jones. Womack added the final run of the inning with a hit that brought in Sims to give the Eagles their sixth run of the inning with two outs. “We’ve made it a big point that we can not go down easy. We want to hit line drives and we want to make them get us out. Tonight we were saying in the dugout ‘put it on the next guy.’ Let’s see who’s gonna make that out. So they were kind of challenging each other,” Evans said of his team’s ability to keep hitting/scoring with two outs on the board. “They just fed off each other and nobody wanted to make it (the last out). It was a heck of an inning.” “What they did was they turned their motor back on. We had that motor on the whole first game,” Evans said speaking on his team’s sixth inning scoring binge. “In the second game we got six runs and we turned it off. That inning (the sixth inning) they turned it back on. They saw an opportunity to go for the kill and they went for it. That’s what we gotta have, that killer instinct.” The Eagles got the mercy rule win after holding Spalding scoreless in the bottom of the inning. At their best, the Eagles can play with anybody in the state and if they can do it for an entire series going forward they could make a deep playoff run.

do things no other offensive lineman has done. By the end of his high school career, Devin says he wants all of the schools to want him and that he wants to have the most scholarship offers of anybody in his class. “Do what nobody’s ever done. Set goals for other people to look up to me,” Devin said in reference to his goals entering high school. “I’m proud of my son. I’m so proud of him. I tell him he can achieve whatever he sets his mind to. Just set his mind and do it. I’m so proud of him, and I just want him to reach whatever he can, ” Colston said passionately. Devin is a top tier talent for his age and if he keeps his strong work ethic and continues to stay humble, the sky’s the limit for the middle brother of the three Durden boys.

for [Commission Director] Anthony [Avery] and them to be able to hire some additional people and start offering some additional programs.” The ceremony began at 11 a.m. and plenty of guests spoke about the long journey that got them to this place. Among some of them were Anthony Avery, current Newton County Recreation Commission Director, Diane Alford (executive director) and Dick Schulz (chair). Hailey and Avery both addressed Tamara Richardson, who had been brought on in 2009 as a consultant, as one of the key pieces for the Miracle League being able to happen. “This has been an amazing journey...absolutely amazing,” Richardson said. “The community has been overwhelmingly so excited and passionate, and got behind this program. So it’s just been a long journey, but an
amazing journey. I just am so excited that the journey’s almost at the end and we’re gonna see these kids playing ball on Saturday. It’s been a beautiful project,” she added. The journey started technically in 2009 when Richardson had been brought along, but Hailey says that he had the idea for the Miracle League years before when he saw how it worked in Rockdale County and when he saw that Richardson was available he knew he had to have her to help make this dream a reality. The $2 million project was able to get rolling when the county voted to pay $1.5 million via SPLOST. Richardson says that they had plenty of donors and seven partners on the projects gave donations and grants to help with the rest of the costs. “We could not have done it without the community’s support to be where we are today. And the community voted for SPLOST, $1.5 million of this project is being paid for through the 2011 special purpose local option sales tax so every
voter in Newton County is helping through their taxes to fund this program so we would not and could not be where we are today without the support of the entire Newton County community,” Richardson said. “This program has been long in the coming to be needed here in Newton County,” Richardson continued. “I’m just so thrilled that we finally have it because we’ve had a lot of sports programs for able-bodied youth and adults, but none for children and adults with special needs.” Richardson said that Avery plans to add more sports and/or maybe social events to the league sooner rather than later, but for now it’s just baseball in the spring and fall. After the ceremonies concluded, it was time to play ball. One young lady, who was on a team slated to play later, shouted “I’m ready to win this thing.” Taylor Bradley recorded the first hit – a triple – at the Miracle League field, as he raced around the bases you could hear the cheers of parents and fans a quarter mile away.

They were showing me what college ball is like and how they do things down there. They go hard down there and I just like the way they play ball. It was nice,” Devin said. Devin says he didn’t get a chance to really speak with a lot of the coaches, but they showed him a highlight film of Florida State plays and what they can do with their players – it was right up Durden’s alley.

AGRICULTURE The many ways buying locally grown foods pays dividends (Metro Creative Connection) The popularity of organic foods and stores that cater to customers who prefer such foods continues to grow, and that growth has contributed to a growing awareness among shoppers of where the food they eat comes from. Many consumers now recognize the impact that food production has on the environment, and that recognition has spurred interest in locally grown foods. Locally grown foods are those that are grown within your community or a community nearby. Such foods do not need to be shipped hundreds of miles before they ultimately find their way onto your plate, and many people find that contributes to meals that are more fresh than meals made up of foods shipped from afar. But freshness is not the only benefit to purchasing locally grown foods, which pay various dividends for people and the planet. Locally grown foods benefit the environment. The phrase Òfield to plateÓ is significant to consumers who prefer locally grown foods. That phrase refers to the distance food travels from the grower to the plate on your dinner table. Estimates vary depending on the source, but advocates of locally grown food suggest that it reduces the field to plate distance by an average of 1,300 miles. ThatÕs a significant feather in locally grown foodsÕ cap, as the Council on the Environment of New York City notes that it takes 435 fossil-fuel calories to fly a single five calorie strawberry from California to New York. Buying locally preserves that energy that is used to transport foods from afar. Locally grown foods fuel your local economy. In addition to benefitting the environment, locally grown foods stimulate your local economy. Local, independent farmers have largely fallen by the wayside in the 21st century, as industrial agribusinesses have taken over the produce sections in grocery stores across the country. But local, independent farmers are making a comeback, thanks in large part to consumer demand for organic foods.
Supporting such farmers who grow their foods locally means youÕre putting money back into your own community, a worthwhile effort at a time when so many small communities are struggling economically. Buying locally grown foods contributes to biodiversity. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, more than 75 percent of agricultural genetic diversity was lost in the 20th century. ThatÕs thanks in large part to industrial agribusinesses that cultivate fruits and vegetables that are bred for fast maturation. But small, local farms typically grow a wider variety of fruits and vegetables in an effort to extend their growing seasons. That means consumers of locally grown foods have access to more fruits and vegetables, and therefore more flavor. Buying locally maintains beautiful landscapes. Farmland has been on the decline for decades, as cement and asphalt have made millions of acres of once beautiful farmland disappear. Buying locally helps to maintain the green space your community and surrounding communities have left. That makes for great road trips and even helps to sustain local wildlife populations. Locally grown foods can be more nutritious. Fruits and vegetables can rapidly lose nutrients once they are harvested. ThatÕs problematic when buying such foods from industrial agribusinesses that need substantial time to get their products from the farm to the shelves at your local grocery chain. But buying from local farmers increases the likelihood that the fruits and vegetables you purchase were just picked and therefore have yet to lose a significant amount of nutrients. Locally grown foods are growing in popularity, and that popularity can be traced to the freshness of such foods as well as the numerous additional benefits that locally grown foods provide.
did you know? Biosolids are an organic amendment available to gardeners. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, biosolids are carefully treated and monitored residuals formed at sewage treatment facilities. They may be recycled into fertilizers to stimulate plant growth. Biosolids may help reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. Biosolids can be safe to use, but homeowners should be cautious about heavy metal content, pathogen levels and salts. Rely on only Class A biosolids, which have been treated to reduce the bacterial content and are approved for use in production agriculture. Home gardeners may want to avoid biosolids in vegetable gardens because of the potential for heavy metal content seeping into the produce.

The good shepherd Jesus said: I tell you for certain that I am the gate for the sheep. Everyone who came before me was a thief or a robber, and the sheep did not listen to any of them. I am the gate. All who come in through me will be saved. Through me they will come and go and find pasture. A thief comes only to rob, kill, and destroy. I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest. I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd gives up his life for his sheep — John 10:7-11 (Contemporary English Version) Near the little town of Bethlehem lie the shepherds’ fields. Just across the way from Boaz’s field where Ruth gleaned for food and a husband, shepherds still use this area for keeping their sheep. In the distance, bedouin shepherds watch over their flocks by day and by night, moving them from field to field to graze in controlled areas. From a JAN MCCOY distance, we can COLUMNIST see the field areas divided into flock yards, small enclosed areas where shepherds graze their sheep during the day and where they keep them at night when the weather is nice. In these fields, sheep can safely graze in an enclosed area, which keeps the sheep from wandering off. Here, the shepherd can keep the flock safe from wild animals which prey on sheep in this area. Wolves and other carnivorous animals are always looking for a quick and easy meal, and a stray sheep becomes easy fast food for a hungry wolf. The enclosed area has one gateway, one entrance in which the shepherd sits or lies. Nothing gets into or out of the gateway without the shepherd’s okay. In another part of the field, caves make
great storing places for herds when the weather turns treacherous. Here the sheep are kept safe from harsh weather and storms. Climbing down into the caves can present a challenge as there is room for one or two animals to travel at a time. Each sheep is counted, and if one is missing, the shepherd can safely leave the flock here with a stone over the gate. The shepherd can then go searching for the lost sheep. Jesus used many illustrations of shepherding in his teachings, equating himself with the Good Shepherd, the one who counts every sheep, knows each by name, and would give his life for his sheep. Jesus is our Good Shepherd who leads us and guards us and makes sure that we have what we need to grow spiritually in this life. When we follow our Shepherd, listening to his voice, we will be safe even through the storms of life. Jesus walks with us and guides us if we will be good sheep and listen to his voice. How are you following the voice of the Good Shepherd? If you have wandered away, know that his voice is calling to you to follow him. Will you listen to his voice speak quietly to your soul today?

A PEARL HARBOR STORY
A
board the battleship USS California, Dec. 7, 1941. The time: 7:55 a.m. Wayne Shelnut was nursing a hot cup of coffee after breakfast when someone screamed, “What is that airplane doing up there?” Wayne walked a few steps to the door and looked up. A plane with a big red ball painted on the fuselage passed over the California then dropped a bomb on Ford Island. General quarters sounded and startled sailors ran to their battle stations. 100 crewmembers would die and 62 others would be wounded. World War II had caught our Pacific Fleet sound asleep at a shallow anchorage called Pearl Harbor. Born in 1915, Newton County resident and centenarian Wayne Shelnut picked cotton, tended garden, and cultivated crops on an 80acre family farm near Chickasha, OK. Sorghum substituted for sugar. “It was hard work, a hard living,” he said. “Plus I walked 4 miles each way to school every day.” After high school, Wayne joined the government’s Civilian Conservation Corps PETE MECCA in 1933. “I thought they’d send me to COLUMNIST new places,” Wayne said. His CCC job was 20 miles from Chickasha. After a year in the CCC, brochures plugging the Army and Navy caught his eye. “I decided to join,” Wayne said. “My family told me to join the Navy so I’d have a clean place to sleep and three square meals a day.” After testing and physical preliminaries, Wayne traveled to Dallas to be sworn in. He recalled, “From there we took a train to San Diego. Back then it was still a small town.” The year was 1934. On basic training: “It wasn’t too bad,” he said. “We learned marching, discipline, the Navy way of doing things. We fired weapons at the end of training, 6 rounds at 100 yards, six more rounds at 600 yards. What troubled me most was the blazing sun. I stayed blistered. If someone touched my blistered nose they ran into trouble!” After basic Wayne packed his hammock and sea bag, boarded a tanker to Long Beach, another ship to San Francisco Bay, then went aboard a cruiser destined for Puget Sound. “Well, sir,” he said. “We hit big sea swells, up and down, up and down, my first taste of seasickness. They put me on lifeboat watch….didn’t even know what that was.” The USS California awaited Wayne in Puget Sound. The battleship would be his home for the next seven years. Wayne was assigned to the 5th Division as a gun crew member of a 5” 51 caliber broadside gun. They practiced almost daily loading a 50-pound projectile into the breach then shoving in bags of gun powder. A tug, usually about 3 to 4 miles out, pulled a target. Other duties included cleaning and maintaining the ship. Within the seven years, the California participated in exercises up and down the West Coast, visited Hawaii, went through the Panama Canal, to Cuba, and to New York City for the 1939 World’s Fair. As relations with Japan deteriorated the California was assigned to Pearl Harbor in May of 1940. Leading up to ‘the date of infamy’ in Wayne’s own words: “We’d been out to sea many times from Pearl Harbor on exercises but on Dec. 5, 1941 we were heading back to port when someone claimed they saw a submarine. We stayed out all night looking for the sub but didn’t see one, so we returned to port the morning of the 6th, a Saturday. We tied up alone at Fox Berth One. The battleships moored behind us were the Tennessee and West Virginia, then Arizona and repair ship Vestal, then the Nevada. The Pennsylvania was in dry dock. We opened all hatches and the double-bottoms for an Admiral’s inspection on Monday which meant our watertight integrity was compromised.” “The next morning the Japanese struck while I was sipping coffee. After sounding general quarters we did what we were trained to do, man our battle stations. Problem
was, the ammo for our 5” and the anti-aircraft munitions had been stored below deck due to the upcoming inspection. So, we’re at our duty stations with no ammo and watching a nightmare unfold. The gun captain in the conning tower called down and ordered my gun crew to go below and retrieve ammo. I kept watch. Every man in my crew was below when the torpedo hit.” NOTE: Two torpedoes detonated below the ship’s armor belt and one 250kg (551 pound) bomb hit the starboard upper deck, passed through the main deck and detonated on the armored second deck. Explosions set off an anti-aircraft magazine. Intense heat and smoke ended all the pumping operations to keep the ship afloat. After 3 days of continued flooding, the California settled into the muddy bottom of Pearl Harbor. Only her superstructure remained above water. Wayne continued, “My entire crew perished below deck. I was the only survivor in my gun crew.” Another projectile, a near miss, ruptured the California’s bow plates. “That near-miss bomb almost got me,” he said. “A huge wall of water came up and covered me. I was hiding behind a bulkhead but everything else in the vicinity was washed overboard.” Meanwhile, the gun captain in the conning tower witnessed a horrific event, as described by Wayne, “We all heard him say, ‘Oh, my God, a bomb just went down the Arizona’s smokestack.’ We didn’t see it, but we sure heard it.” At about 8:06am, the last bomb to hit Arizona ripped through her deck by Gun Turret II (not the smokestack) then detonated in or near the ammo magazine. The explosion lifted Arizona’s 32,000 tons out of the water before she settled to the bottom. Only 335 men from a crew of 1,512 survived. And the horrors continued: “The Oklahoma was moored behind us,” he said. “I didn’t see the ship capsize but later we plainly heard the sailors trapped inside banging with hammers against the upturned hull hoping to be rescued. Most of those boys didn’t make it out.” Wayne paused a moment then continued. “You know, during all this I was still at my gun station. We didn’t know what to do. I saved a few men but we were all confused and I was alone. People started showing up but someone said to abandon ship….well, we did, but once on land we were ordered back to help secure heaving lines and anchor chains around our ship to keep her from capsizing. I couldn’t tell you when the first wave of Japanese planes stopped their attack and the second wave began their attack. It was a blur, total chaos.” That evening hundreds of sailors and marines and army personnel lined up for chow in a bombed-out airplane hangar on Ford Island. “We slept on the ground that night,” Wayne said. “The next morning we searched for the missing. I conducted a roll call. Several never showed up, never answered…so many boys lost. On the third day I was issued a rifle and bayonet, assigned to anti-aircraft guns just outside the base, and slept in a tent for the next six months.” The California was eventually refloated to fight another day, but Wayne was transferred back to the states to help commission a new battleship in New Orleans, the USS Alabama. “I was on the shakedown cruise and sailed with her up to Portland, ME then we returned to New Orleans. I had orders waiting for me to report to the USS Gherardi, a destroyer. I went from battleships to tin cans.”
January, 1943: Wayne Shelnut boards the USS Gherardi. This intrepid survivor of Pearl Harbor now faced new challenges, new dangers, in the Atlantic and the Pacific. Details, dates, and events sometimes get foggy when you are 100 years young, so I’ve taken the liberty to fine-tune a portion of Wayne’s narrative from Naval historic records concerning the service of the USS Gherardi, the destroyer that Wayne called home for the rest of the war. Wayne’s comments: “We performed escort voyages to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Port Arthur, and Galveston, TX before setting sail for New York on Feb. 7, 1943. We left New York on February 15 for our first of ten transatlantic convoys. By June 8 we were en route to the Mediterranean as part of the invasion of Sicily.” The Gherardi protected troop transports, was credited with shooting down one enemy plane, and suffered 11 near misses. In early August, another destroyer joined Gherardi to engage 3 German vessels. At the range of 4,000 yards, the American destroyers sank two enemy vessels, the bigger of which virtually disappeared. The German ship was loaded down with land mines. After a series of fast convoy escort voyages, the Gherardi participated in the Normandy Invasion on Utah Beach. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, the Gherardi provided cover fire for our advancing troops. Wayne recalled, “We ran out of ammunition.” He is correct. The USS Gherardi fired all of her munitions, returned to England, replenished her ammo then set sail for another whack at the Germans. On June 25 she participated in the assault on Cherbourg, France then protected aircraft carriers during the invasion of Southern France. Wayne recalled, “After all that we returned to New York on September 16 to be converted into a high speed minesweeper. Then we left for the Pacific.” By March, 1945 the Gherardi was off the coast of Okinawa sweeping for mines prior to the American invasion on April 1. For three months she fought off Japanese suicide planes, shelled enemy positions by day, and provided our troops with illumination at night.” Wayne also remembered sweeping for mines in the China Sea. “We provided cover fire for smaller mine sweepers for about a month then sailed into Tokyo Bay to clear the area for the Japanese surrender. By that time I was en route back to the states as a Warrant Officer when the war ended.” And Wayne Shelnut certainly did his part to win that war. After further assignments including New Orleans where he contracted malaria in the swamps, Wayne retired in 1954 after a 20 year career in the US Navy. He ran a family business in St Louis for several years until moving with his wife to Redondo Beach. “We hawked a little real estate in Redondo then moved to Georgia several years back to be with family,” he said. His final thoughts: “Well, at 100 years old it’s hard to come up with one thought much less several.” With a wily smile Wayne concluded, “I’m just glad to still be here.” Pete Mecca is a Vietnam veteran, columnist and freelance writer.

These weeks are packed with exciting activities focused on safety, awareness, and appreciation of wildlife and outdoor sports. More information is available at wilikecamp.com Another program for girls is four different weeks of Horse Camp.

Liquor store groundbreaking the beginning of more to come BRYAN FAZIO bfazio@covnews.com
Covington city council members broke ground on not just one project, but what they see as the start of a new retail and residential center in Covington. Mayor Ronnie Johnston, city councilwomen Ocie Franklin and Janet Goodman, City Manager Leigh Ann Knight and members of the Neely family put shovels to dirt Thursday for a groundbreaking of Nitro 2 Go. Nitro 2 Go will be a 10,000 square foot highend beverage store, located on the Bypass Road
across from El Charro and Zaxby’s. But, according to Neely, Nitro 2 Go will also be the beginning of a development involving 211 acres of businesses bringing new investments and jobs to the area. “What we’re trying to do is build something that’s presentable here and try to draw some interest in this particular piece of property,” Fred Neely said. “Because we want high end development here.” Along with Nitro 2 Go, other site pads have also been prepared, and a road will be paved past the beverage store to support the
rest of the land. Although the project officially began months ago, it started about a year and half earlier when Neely called up Johnston to share with him what he wanted to do with the hundreds of acres of Neely Farm land. Johnston decided then that he would help the Neely bring his dream to fruition. The first project of that was the high-end beverage store. The store will be managed by Patricia Neely, who was also part of Thursday’s ground breaking ceremony. “What we started here is the start of great stuff in the city of Covington,” John-
ston said. “I’m excited to be part of and continue to be part of bringing jobs, investments and homes here. To me this is really the start of project that will be going on for many years bring.”
If you want a guaranteed rate of return and don’t need your income until a later date, a fixed interest annuity might be for you. Interest rates are at the level they were in the 1950’s and this also has negatively affected certificates of deposit. At some point in the future, MIKE LASSITER COLUMNIST the Federal Reserve will increase their rate and fixed interest products will follow suit. Here’s where tax deferral becomes attractive. For example, an interest rate of 5% equals a return of 6.67% for an individual in the 25% Federal tax bracket. An objection I have heard for many years about annuities is that unlike CD’s, they are not FDIC insured. Annuities are protected by the claims paying ability of the insurer. Our autos, homes, businesses and liability are protected by insurance companies and it has never occurred to me to have our personal lines coverage protected by the FDIC. Another objection is liquidity and the bottom-line is real simple: Don’t put money into an annuity if you plan to cash out in one or two years. Keep your money in short term funds. Other than CD’s, however, there aren’t very many financial instruments that have the word guarantee included. If you paid $200,000 for your home in 2005, how much would it have sold for if you had to sell in 2010? With stocks and bonds, the same concern applies. If you need to liquidate the equity, is there a guaranteed return? It may have increased or decreased by 15-20%. Does this mean you should avoid equities? Of course not! What it does mean is make sure your savings are in products appropriately suited for your risk tolerance. In addition to the previously mentioned tax deferred status of annuities, avoidance of Probate is an excellent feature of annuities. The savings of some 2.5% on executor fees is quite nice not to mention assurance of privacy in settling your estate. You might remember Gladys Kravitz of “Bewitched” many years ago. The “nosey neighbor” prying into your personal financial affairs is just what you don’t need when a loved one dies. Features to consider in a fixed interest annuity include the current and minimum guaranteed rate, withdrawal and surrender features, payout options and death benefit. Of course the financial strength of the carrier is very important. Fixed interest annuities will probably be best suited for individuals who want to preserve assets, receive a guaranteed return and avoid the ups and downs of the market.

remember when We’re celebrating our 150th anniversary this year, The Covington News has been going through its archived photos, and we wanted to share some with you. If you recognize anybody in these photos, let us know at news@covnews.com or swing by our office.
A reader, Jean Brizzi, sent in their copy of a photo we previously ran in our “Remember When” section of the 1962 J Revue at Newton County High School. According to Brizzi, the J in J Revue stood for Ms. Jay, the Newton County High School PE teacher. Every year she would teach the girls several dances, then put on a show. These are the Newton County High dancers in the photo: Shirley Maddox (Crawford), Nelda White (Brownlee), Jean Smith (Brizzi), Cheryl Pannell (Knight), Shirley Stapp (Skinner), Cindy Richardson (Smith), Lynn Barker (Beckham). All the girls except for Shirley Stapp Skinner graduated in 1964.

A Petition To Terminate Parental Rights has been filed in this Court on March 19, 2015, by the Georgia Department of Human Services by and through the Newton County Department of Family and Children Services concerning the above child(ren). In accordance with O.C.G.A. §1511-281, you are hereby notified that this proceeding and the hearing(s) specified herein is for the purpose of terminating your parental rights and to place permanent custody of said child(ren) with the Georgia Department of Human Services by and through the Newton County Department of Family and Children Services pending adoption.

Now, therefore, you, the part(y)(ies) named above, are commanded to be and appear on the date and time stated below, and to remain in attendance from hour to hour, day to day, month to month, year to year, and time to time, as said case may be continued, and until discharged from the court, and you are commanded to lay any and all business aside and to be and
appear in said court at the time and place below stated, each of you then and there to make defense thereto and to show cause why the said child(ren) and all parties named herein should not be dealt with according to the provisions of the law.

A Petition To Terminate Parental Rights has been filed requesting the court to terminate your parental rights to your child(ren). A copy of said Petition can be obtained from the Clerk of the Newton County Juvenile Court, at the Newton County Judicial Center, 1132 Usher Street, Covington, GA 30014.

If the judgment terminates your parental rights, you will no longer have any rights to your child(ren). This means that you will not have the right to visit, contact, or have custody of your child(ren) or make any decisions affecting your child(ren) or your child(ren)’s earnings or property. Your child 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 child(ren)’s care unless and until your child(ren) is/are adopted; and (2)Your child(ren) can still inherit from you unless and until your child(ren) is/are adopted. Pursuant to statute, you are put on notice that as a biological father you may lose all rights to your child(ren) named above and will not be entitled to object to the termination of your rights to such child(ren) unless, within 30 days of receipt of notice, 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.
