By limiting spending and increasing revenue, the Board of Commissioners is seeking to tidy the books while keeping the FY16 budget within range of this year’s $47 million.

The board, along with Finance Director Michelle Kelly, acknowledged the legitimate needs of county departments, but nonetheless faces the reality of cutting millions from the proposed $59 million budget.

Commissioner Nancy Schulz said allowing the budget to jump $10 million in one year was “growing government excessively.” That sentiment was echoed by her colleagues.

Moreover, the board must compensate for

BOC welcomes Interim County Manager Owens MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

Covington-Newton County has a new interim county manager as of Tuesday night, when the Board of Commissioners voted to appoint Harry Owens to the position.

Owens has been working as a human resources consultant for the county for several months, and his appointment was effective immediately.

The board also heard a presentation from Newton County Medical Center CEO Jim Weadick about the impending partnership agreement with Piedmont Hospital. The agreement is expected to take effect Oct. 1 when the institution will become Piedmont Newton Hospital.

Weadick said the agreement was “brought about by a [financial] necessity that has been building over the past couple of years.”

20 nabbed in prostitution sting STAFF REPORTS mlutz@covnews.com

The Covington Police Department, in a joint operation with the Conyers Police Department, arrested 20 males for pandering and other charges throughout a five day period recently.

The Covington Police Department reached out to Conyers and on May 29, and Conyers investigators assisted Covington with a sting at one of their local motels. Eight arrests were made on May 29, before 12 more were arrested Tuesday, June 2.

Five Covington men were arrested in the sting, with three occurring in Covington and two in Conyers.

Alfonza Jackson, 47, Antwon Percell Garrett, 42, Michael Lamont Slaughter, 31, Byron Freeman, 22 and Daryl Sylvester Thomas, 35 were all charged with pandering.

The purpose of the joint operation was to identify and arrest individuals involved in the business of soliciting for sex. The arrests will also go to addressing violent crimes that can be associated with prostitution.

“Not only are female prostitutes being targeted, assaulted and robbed,” Conyers Police Chief Gene Wilson said, “the johns intending on meeting for sex can be met with an armed man and robbed of their cash or worse.”

The Conyers Police had several successful operations last year which undoubtedly contributed to the overall decrease in crime not only around local hotels but the city as a whole in 2014. The phrase “Conyers is hot” proved a valuable deterrent following media coverage of the multiple arrests generated from the operations.

'SENSELESS' Covington man dies in Rockdale shooting MICHELLE KIM, MARTIN RAND, ROBERT PORTER news@covnews.com

A senseless shooting Sunday not only rocked the Rockdale community, but also affected Newton County citizens as well.

Covington resident 39-year-old Otonicar Pitts Jimquez Aiken was inside the Magnet Package Shop when violence erupted, and suffered fatal wounds from a gunshot fired by 36-yearold Jeffrey Pitts of Rockdale.

Aiken was a husband and father of three, with a 2-year-old, 8-year-old, and 15-yearold. He was inside the store on Bell Road when Pitts walked in wielding a gun and shot at the store’s owner Mun “Moon” Cha and Aiken.

Darrell Stodghill, Aiken's father, says that Aiken was only making a quick trip to

the liquor store.

"What makes it (even worse), yesterday was his son's (eighth) birthday," said Stodghill. " Aikens was cooking on the grill when he told his family, "I'll be right back.'"

After Pitts started shooting in the liquor store, another customer, Todd Scott of Newton County, fought back, potentially stopping Pitts from shooting even more people.

Pitts then went to his 3535 Ebenezer Road residence and shot his mother in the arm and father in the head. He was then killed in a shootout when he fired at deputies with an AR-15 assault rifle, according to the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office.

they have lived since.

None of the neighbors wanted their identities revealed, but a neighbor who was inside their residence at the time of the shootout told The News the couple didn't deserve to be shot.

"They were good people," the neighbor said.

Life in high school Pitts was a member of the Heritage High School graduating class of 1997.

Rockdale County resident Don Pollard was a member of the same class. He vaguely remembers Pitts.

"I don't remember him all that well," he said. "It's been almost 20 years."

However, he was able to recall a few details about Pitts, like Pitts having a hearing impairment.

"He had to wear two really large hearing aids," said Pollard. "It was the first time I saw someone my age wearing hearing aids."

Pitts family Several neighbors who live along the 3500 block of Ebenezer Road were surprised when they heard two of the shooting victims were the elderly couple who lived on the street.

Pitts' parents, 63-year-old Alan and 64-year-old Judith, moved into their 3535 Ebenezer Road residence in 1986, where

Todd Scott was down on the floor staring into the eyes of a stranger. He didn’t think the gunshots that forced him to take safety were real initially, but then he smelled the gunpowder. The stranger was just another customer like Scott, and Scott knew he had to do something for both their sakes.

Scott drew his 9mm and fired back in the shooter’s (Jeffrey Scott Pitts) direction, following him out of the store to make sure he

County contracts in committee crosshairs MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com

The Newton County Purchasing Policy Committee has agreed to recommend requiring a contract, scope of work, and purchase order for professional services, which would include services such as legal counsel, engineering, and appraising.

The committee, which met Wednesday, said it would also recommend making the ethics policy more prominent and including language that specifically binds elected officials. Other parts of the purchasing policy have been clarified and updated as well.

Currently, goods and services, excluding professional services, are subject to competitive bidding for anything over $2,500. Earlier, the committee had suggested implementing the same requirements for professional services.

Commissioner Levie Maddox expressed concern Wednesday that competitive bidding for professional services would slow down the process and burden the existing staff.

After discussion, the committee appeared to scrap competitive bidding on professional services in favor of a requirement for contract, scope of work, and, if necessary, purchase orders for anything not covered by the contract. The minimum value to trigger the process is expected to be set between $5,000 and $10,000.

The intention behind the changes is to provide accountability on the back and front end of a project or service. The committee has of-

ten sought to compare the county’s purchasing policy with that of the state, although the two are not strictly analogous, especially in regards to legal services, which are considered a “professional service” on the county level but not at the state level.

In an email to The News, the Department Of Administrative Services’ Legal Division said that the Georgia Attorney General acts as the legal advisor of the executive department, and therefore the Attorney General’s Office must approve a state entity’s use of outside legal counsel.

The AGO has its own requirements for procurement of legal services of individuals appointed as Special Attorneys General.

Professional services other than legal are generally exempt from competitive bidding, although there are some provisions that provide for specific processes for certain professions, for example, advertisement of procurements involving architecture, registered interior design, professional engineering, land surveying and landscape architecture.

There may also be other legal requirements that must be met relating to the procurement, such as requirement to obtain an e-verify affidavit.

In attempting to bring Newton County’s policy in line with the state’s, there has also been some debate as to whether the state does business with vendors who are not current on their taxes.

The DOAS Legal Department referred a reporter to sections 5.6.2.2 and 3.5.1.2. of the Georgia Procurement Manual on responsibility and

tax compliance. "’Responsible’ means the supplier, whether a company or an individual, has appropriate legal authority to do business in the state of Georgia…Examples of nonresponsibility include, but are not limited to, a supplier’s history of nonperformance or performance problems on other contracts (public or private), a record of financial difficulty, business instability, criminal sanctions, civil sanctions, and/ or tax delinquency.”

“A supplier’s unreasonable failure to promptly supply information in connection with an inquiry with respect to responsibility may be grounds for a determination of non-responsibility.”

“Prior to awarding any contract exceeding $100,000.00…The state entity must require the supplier to complete SPD-SP045 Tax Compliance Form.“ Commissioners Maddox and Nancy Schulz, along with interim County Manager Harry Owens, Finance Director Michelle Kelly and Purchasing Coordinator Mary Ann Patterson have planned to meet in July in order to hammer out the final draft of the new purchasing policy for presentation to the Board of Commissioners.

The new policy, if adopted, could help hold vendors accountable for their work and associated costs.

The Master Water Plan, for example, was prepared by Krebs Engineering at a cost of more than $200,000 to the county, but has remained unfinished in draft form for a year. It is unknown at this time if or when the Master Water Plan, which was awarded to Krebs

without an open bid process, will be completed.

Committee Member Tom West called Wednesday “a good day for Newton County,” and was pleased with the commissioners’ verbal commitment to requiring purchase orders for professional services.

But some citizens thought the changes did not go far enough. Local resident Larry McSwain, who attended the meeting as an observer, called for competitive bidding on professional services and a limit on pro forma renewal of contracts year to year.

Committee member Sarah Dauby suggested including guidelines for the purchase of real estate.

Dauby also pointed out that hiring an in-house county attorney, which has been suggested by some, would require a change to the enabling legislation and was not within the scope of the committee.

The Purchasing Policy Committee has undergone several contentious changes since its inception.

In addition to Patterson, Kelly, Schulz, Maddox, Dauby and West, Junior Hilliard, who holds the contract for the solid waste convenience centers, was appointed by Commissioner J.C. Henderson after the last meeting and over the objection of Schulz, who considered his presence a conflict of interest.

Julias Hays was appointed by Chairman Keith Ellis to replace Ann Neuhierl after Ellis rescinded her invitation to serve on the committee.

Owens has stepped in for former County Manager Tom Garrett, who resigned for a position in Barrow County.

County settles wrongful termination lawsuit STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

Newton County has agreed to settle with former landscaping contractor William Durden for $45,000 after the latter filed a DURDEN wrongful termination suit in 2013.

The settlement included a “no admission of liability” clause on behalf of the county, and was approved three to two at Tuesday’s Board of Commissioners meeting, with Commissioners John Douglas and Levie Maddox objecting.

Durden is appealing the dismissal of a second suit for defamation and libel against County Chairman Keith Ellis and the late former County Manager John Middleton.

Durden says he filed suit only after the county refused to honor his con-

tract by paying him $42,000 for 150 days of severance pay. Since then, he says, the county has spent more than $200,000 in legal fees fighting the case, and in the end settled for more than his initial severance package.

The county was unable to provide the total sum spent on the two lawsuits as of press time.

“I tried to negotiate with them,” said Durden of the Board of Commissioners. “They could have paid me $42,000 in April of 2013.”

“They didn’t think because of my financial situation that I would be able to get a lawyer and defend myself, but I proved them wrong,” he added.

Durden holds the BOC and county attorney responsible for wasting taxpayer money. “They’re going to pay me and nobody’s going to be held accountable.”

Durden said he is willing to settle the second suit for $55,000. The case was dismissed in summary judgement, but Durden is pursuing an appeal.

Newton Library to get $1,000,000, new HVAC SANDRA BRANDS news@covnews.com

Dr. Steve Whatley, Chairman of the Newton County Board of Trustees, said there was a time when he thought the Covington branch would have shut its doors. The HVAC unit was beyond repair, and the air in the library would be too hot and humid for its many guests and its many books.

However, at the last minute, Newton County found a way to get the library its funds, an HVAC unit is imminent and the library will stay open for many more years.

Tuesday evening the Newton County Board of Commissioners voted to start seeking out a loan for the library’s new HVAC system, which will cost near $1 million.

Wednesday morning the Library Board of Trustees unanimously voted to begin the construction process, spending $200,000 on materials, in a motion presented by Lee Aldridge and seconded by Barbara Gunner. Of the $200,000, $200,000 will come from the library system and another $100,000 comes from state funds that were set to expire June

30 if repairs did not begin.

The library will also get a financial boost from $10,000 donated by the city of Covington to help with new electric equipment that will be needed for the HVAC system.

Newton County’s library system will enter into a contract with NJPA EZIQ to perform the work, which will total $1,005,107.76.

The scope of work proposal states that there will be $959,719 in construction and $45,388.76 in project management by EZIQ. The new HVAC system will be a four-pipe system, allowing the library to set different zones within the building. This type of system was recommended by state authorities over split systems for several reasons, including keeping humidity down, the amount of people coming in and out of the building.

“The split system doesn’t come close to satisfying code requirements for a public building,” said Bill Perugino, member of the Newton County Library System Board of Trustees.

The Covington branch also reopened its children section recently after it had a remodel and new carpet put in.

Dogs may be able to run off leash in a dedicated area of Chimney Park SANDRA BRANDS news@covnews.com

The Friends of Newton County Parks' proposal to create a dog park has been shared with the Covington City Council, and the reception was pretty positive, said the organization's chair, Melvin Allen.

The dog park would be a fenced in, off-leash area for dogs to play in, Allen said. “Most of the dog parks you look at online and you see doing research are set up for the owners...It’s a place where they can be off-leash, but are confined.”

Currently, he said, there are no dog parks in Newton County. “I spend a lot of time in the parks, setting up for events, and we see quite a few people walking with their dogs on the trails.”

The plans for the dog park are just in the preliminary stages, Allen said.

“We want to get over the hurdle of making sure Newton County doesn’t have a problem with it. The recreation board requested we go before the city council.”

The proposal for a dog park came about when a local family contacted the Friends and asked if they could install a memorial for their daughter at Chimney Park.

“That particular request was to put a dog park in Chimney Park,” Allen said.

“We looked into it and went in front of the Friend of Newton County Parks Board and

there were no objections.”

Allen said they are still trying to determine how much it would cost to fence in an area and install water. Once the costs to build the park are known, they will go back to the family to see how much of the costs will be covered by the memorial fund.

“After that, it will be a fundraiser,” Allen said. “Our board will not do the fundraiser; we’ll leave it up to the family to put together.

“We don’t have the resources in our budget [to pay for the dog park],” Allen said. “We have several priorities, like the marble foundation of the old Patterson home. After the house was burned and torn down, just the ruins and foundation were left. We’d like to make it more of a community place and get flooring inside the old foundation to make it more accessible for people to use.

“There are several areas that need more work that will make it a public attraction,” he said. That includes the work on the main entrance, which is funded. “These are the features of the parks we’re concentrating on right now.”

Chimney Park is a county park. Build on the remains of the old Martin-Patterson house, Newton County acquired the property in the 1980s. The Friends of Newton County Parks hold two fundraisers a year.

In December, they sponsor a Twilight event in the park. In May, they sponsor the fairies in the park event.

SCOTT

SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 2015 Page 5A

Scott said.

It’s been a couple of days since the shooting, and Scott has had a hard time sleeping. Not only because of the incident, but because of all the attention he’s getting for it. The shooting is a constant stream of “what ifs” that play continuously through his mind like a never-ending Stephen King film.

Everything happened so fast. Scott had his back turned toward the door when the first gunshots were fired. He had to react quickly, but the entire

sequence was a blur. Scott says after watching videotape he realized everything that occurred looked almost completely different than what he was seeing as it happened.

It was supposed to be an ordinary day. Scott had taken his fiance, Dusty, her two boys and the neighbor’s boys to lunch. After dropping the boys off at home, Scott and his fiance went shopping with Dusty’s youngest son. They returned home and the kids were playing their Xbox and he told them he was

going to the store. He told them to turn the Xbox off because when he got back they’d watch a movie. It was movie night. So Scott went to Magnet Bottle Shop, where he was a regular.

Hours later after what could’ve been the last time Scott would see his soonto-be wife and her children, they all watched a movie.

It was a quick return to a sense of normalcy that wouldn’t last forever.

“It comes and goes.

Sometimes it’s cool. Sometimes I cry. It is what it is. I just wanted to get home to

them,” Scott said.

Scott, owner of The Social House in Porterdale, is a guy who believes in family and honesty, who loves to cook, a mere mortal like the rest of us, who just wanted to get home to his family.

“If something presents itself to where I may not be able to do that, I feel like I at least should be able to have a chance to change the outcome,” Scott said.

“I just wanted him out of the store,” Scott added. “I didn’t want him to be able to shoot Mun’s [Mun Hyuk Cha, owner of the store

who passed away] wife or the guy I was staring at. I didn’t know what his intentions were after that.”

A hero is someone who stands out for his or her courage. Rockdale police, and possibly many others, believe that Scott is a hero. Scott does not think of himself as a hero. He just did what he thought should be done.

Scott is a hero, for that very reason. He did what needed to be done when many others would not have had the courage. Todd Scott, you're a hometown hero.

pretty shocked," he said.

"We've never had that kind of incident with any other classmate."

He described Pitts as "pretty reserved" and meek.

But, in Pitts' senior year, he seemed to open up a little bit more to people.

"He was pretty quiet," Pollard said. "He wasn't very popular but seemed to grow into his own.

He seemed to have more friends by senior year."

Like most people who saw and heard about the events that transpired Sunday, Pollard was stunned when he heard about what happened, but even more so when he saw it was a former classmate.

"When I saw the picture (of Jeffrey Pitts) in the news I recognized him. I was

Run-ins with the law Pitts had no criminal history with the RCSO. His only brush with the law in this area came in November 2010.

The Newton County Sheriff 's Office (NCSO) arrested him for driving under the influence and being in possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. He received a fine, community service and 12 months of probation the offense.

The RCSO does have four incidents that involve Pitts, but none of them are for criminal activity. However, these reports do shed some light into the mind of Pitts, who may have been dealing

with some kind of mental illness for some time.

According to the RCSO, they have yet to determine if Pitts suffered from a mental illness.

However, on the 911 call Sunday, Pitts' father told operators that his son was mentally ill and had shot him in the head.

In a report from April 17, 2004, two days after Pitts turned 25, a female victim reported Pitts making harassing phone calls to her for several weeks.

"She stated (Jeffrey) keeps calling, confessing his love for her and he attempts to get her to confess her love for him," Deputy Michelle Haywood wrote in the report.

Rodgers claimed that a year ago she spoke to Pitts at a bar for about five minutes by way of her boy-

friend, who knew Pitts from them attending high school together.

Shortly after that encounter, Pitts started calling her.

Rodgers claimed to have never given Pitts her number, but Pitts told her that she did.

Pitts also told Rodgers that he knows where she lives as well.

"Rogers stated, she has asked Pitts not to call her and that she was not interested in him," wrote Haywood. "Rogers stated, Pitts continues to call her and now she fears him."

Exactly two years later, on April 17, 2006, Pitts called deputies to his residence to report suspicious activity occurring at his residence at 3535 Ebenezer Road.

Pitts told Deputy Julie Cooley that he believes

someone has been coming in the residence, which was shared by Pitts' parents and brother, and taking things.

On another occasion, Pitts said he found women's underwear on his dresser,heard knocking on windows at night and gunshots.

There were no signs of forced entry, "Jeffrey believes someone has gotten a key, but he (couldn't) advise how they might have obtained it," Cooley wrote.

Pitts also believed one of his neighbors had gotten someone at the power department to cut the wires to the house alarm system so that it doesn't go off when he comes in.

Cooley then spoke with Pitts' father, Alan, on the phone.

"He stated that Jeffrey has

‘issues' and this is not the first time he's displayed paranoid behavior," wrote Cooley.

On Pitts' birthday four years ago, a deputy was called to his residence again.

This time the call came from a "third-party caller" who stated the resident at this location sounded upset.

When Deputy Christopher Lee arrived at the scene, he found Pitts sitting in his Jeep in his boxer shorts.

"I attempted to make contact with Mr. Pitts but he appeared to be in an altered state," wrote Lee in his report. "I was unable to get any information from him and was unable to determine if he was on medication."

On the ground next to the jeep was a pair of pants belonging to Pitts. Inside the pocket of the pants was a knife.

“If I saved lives then I’m happy for that. You should save lives if you can. I’m not looking for anything for it, any recognition. To be quite honest with you, I just wish I could’ve slept this morning,” Scott said.

“There are good people everywhere that should be able to live without worrying about things like that,”

Newton C. kicks back at Family Fun Day Family Fun Day attracted happy crowds to Turner Lake Park Saturday with music, food and prizes. The event was sponsored by Congressman Hank Johnson, Senator Ronald Ramsey, Rep. Pam Dickerson, Sheriff Ezell Brown, and Commissioner Lanier Sims.

BUDGET

>> FROM FRONT PAGE Moreover, the board must compensate for years of under-budgeting for the true cost of several areas, including E911, impact fees, and solid waste.

All the commissioners except J.C. Henderson appeared to agree that a decal system should be implemented at the county’s 11 solid waste convenience centers, and several also appeared open to increasing tipping fees at the landfill and introducing franchise fees for haulers.

The intention is to make the solid waste program more self-sufficient, and decrease or eliminate the nearly $2 million annual subsidy the

The board also discussed impending upgrades needed for the county’s water system, with Chairman Keith Ellis suggesting a one to two percent increase in water rates to help pay for those improvements.

Both the Water Fund and the Solid Waste Fund are standalone enterprise funds, separate from the General Fund.

The board appeared to agree to limit the County Attorney’s budget to between $600,000 and $700,000, with Schulz favoring the lower number and Commissioners John Douglas, Levie Maddox, and Chairman Keith Ellis favoring the higher end of the spectrum.

OWENS

>> FROM FRONT PAGE He also clarified that the agreement is a 40-year lease, not a sale.

Weadick said five out of seven institutions responded to the request for proposals, with Piedmont clearly beating out the two other finalists.

He also said that “most if not all” the current hospital staff will keep their jobs with an improved wage adjustment.

Piedmont has agreed to back the hospital’s bonds and forego indigent care funds from the county, but it may decide to discontinue ambulance services, which would then fall to the county. Weadick emphasized that there would be no change to indigent care or treatment of patients on Medicare or Medicaid.

Separately, the board approved a request from the Sheriff to apply for Bureau of Justice funds for body cameras.

The board passed a motion made by Commissioner J.C. Henderson to charge the County Attorney with assisting the Nelson Heights Community Center to become eligible for reimbursement from Bright from the Start for its after-school food program.

The board heard an update on the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which the county is hoping to close out soon.

Chairman Keith Ellis decreed June 2 to be Dr. Robert Faulkner Day, in honor of the community physician who retired in May. Faulkner was instrumental to the founding of mental health facilities, as well as the juvenile court system in Newton County.

“Legal is one of the few things we can control,” said Schulz, pointing out that the board had no control over the budget of other departments such as emergency services.

The county is on track to spend more than twice its legal budget of $484,000

this year.

‘We do need more clarity on the invoices,” Maddox said, adding that the board needs to keep its promise to require contracts and scope of work.

One of the board’s biggest concerns is the Sher-

iff ’s approximately $6 million proposed budget for law enforcement and the jail, representing 43 percent of the budget.

“That number’s going to have to come down, “said Douglas.

Commissioners Lanier

Sims and Maddox said they would meet with Sheriff Ezell Brown and discuss ways to cut the Sheriff’s budget.

The commissioners are expected to send more cuts to Kelly before the next budget meeting on Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m.

our thoughts Hometown Heroes Life is very fleeting. None of us knows when our existence will end on this earth. Last week, 44-year-old Mun Hyuk Cha, a kind, hard-working businessman and owner of Magnet Package Store, and 39-year-old Otonicar Jimquez Aikens, a father who had just stopped by to pick up some things, were probably discussing the weather or exchanging pleasantries when Jeffery Pitts, a disgruntled customer, stormed in with a gun and ended their lives.

There was a time in this country when if a customer was upset he or she just never came back to your business. Mr. Pitts apparently decided that he wasn’t happy with that. After a confrontation in the store, he went home, loaded up his guns, drove back to the Magnet package store and took out his displeasure in a bloody, vengeful way, and then went home where he lived with his parents and shot and injured his mother and father.

Out of this tragic story, two positive things happened. Another customer in the store, Todd Scott, instead of cowering, fired back at Pitts with his own gun. If he hadn’t gotten involved, there is no telling how many other people, including our law enforcement officers, might have been gunned down.

Mr Scott didn’t intend to become a hero but he became one, and we all owe him a debt of gratitude for his actions on that sad day.

Other heroes on that sad day were RCSO deputies and Conyers Police officers who possibly saved many lives.

The customers, neighbors and community of the Magnet package store proved without question that we have a very caring, strong community that takes care of its own. They came out in droves to support the family of Mr. Cha and Mr. Aikens.

There were tears aplenty as folks hugged Mr. Cha’s parents, who flew in from Korea to mourn their son. There was a collection made to be split with the two families and the Cha family gave their share to Jimquez Aiken’s 15-year-old daughter, another special sign of love in itself.

We are sorry that there are sick people like Jeffery Pitts in our community, but we are grateful that we have good people like Mun Cha and Jimquez Aikens and Todd Scott.

We all have to keep praying that good guys will always outnumber the bad guys.

To the Cha and Aikens families we are sure that the whole community has your families in their special thoughts and prayers.

From concerts and holiday celebrations on the square to outdoor exploration opportunities at the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center or one of our local parks, there are things to do around town. We have a go-kart facility, golf courses, batting cages, antique malls and so much more. I would like to see more greenspace with mountain biking trails, a skate park and more.

You may have seen the progress being made at Legion Field and if you haven’t, make a point to drive by it. I don’t like to use the word “eyesore,” but it is safe to say Legion Field went from a place that needed some attention to a place we can be proud of. It won’t be long before the renovations are complete and we are ready to host concerts and large events in a state-ofthe-art facility.

The last thing I want to touch on is something extremely important to me and that is protecting Covington’s rich history. A tremendous part of Covington’s charm is the small-town feel you get when you pass through it and it is crucial that we maintain it. There are safeguards like the Historic Preservation Society in place to help aid in the process of keeping Covington’s smalltown charm, but we will need more.

It is imperative that we “grow smart” rather than “grow fast.”

This letter is full of grand ideas and you might be thinking most are impossible. I ask you to look for my next letter where I will share with you some of the things your local government is currently doing to work toward the concepts I have laid out.

Of course I always welcome your feedback. Send me a note at rjohnston@cityofcovington.org or give me a call at 770-262-1001.I’d love to hear from you.

Our rights go back much farther than the Constitution Too many Americans seem to believe our constitutional rights were created by a bunch of men in powdered wigs during the SCOTT RASMUSSEN 18th century.

COLUMNIST In truth, the rights we cherish as Americans go back many centuries before that.

The difference is vitally important.

If it were true that the Founding Fathers made up our rights in the 1780s and '90s, it would be reasonable to ask why we should pay any attention to them today. The world is much different now than it was when George Washington walked the earth. Why should their perspective matter? And, smart as the Founders were, who's to say they were any smarter than today's political leaders?

But that's not the way it happened.

The rights we have as Americans were developed over centuries of pragmatic experimentation. As such, they are worthy of tremendous respect.

For example, freedom of religion grew out of a time when the king or

queen could declare an official religion for their nation. Those subjects who didn't adhere to the official religion could be put to death. This became especially troublesome when a Catholic monarch was replaced by a Protestant monarch (or vice versa). Everybody in the nation had to either change their stated beliefs or risk being burned at the stake.

It took a long time, but eventually English leaders figured out it was better for everybody if the government stayed out of defining what people should believe. That's something we have the right to do for ourselves. We are fortunate that the Founders included this bit of wisdom in the Bill of Rights.

Freedom of the press had a colonial twist. A governor of New York appointed by the English king was so unpopular that he inspired America's first alternative newspaper. Under British law, it was illegal to publish such negative comments about a government official. Truth was not a defense.

The publisher was arrested and put on trial. Fortunately, the English system also had developed a safety valve known as trial by jury. Even though the law was clear, the jury felt differently and refused to convict the publisher. Over the next few

decades, the concept that everyone should be free to criticize the government became a core ideal in the American colonies (and one that we enjoy quite freely today).

The point is, our Founding Fathers did not make up the rights we enjoy today. They wrote down some fundamental guidelines that had been developed through the arduous process of trial and error.

Today, of course, the policy details are vastly different. One recent example is the issue of the NSA spying on American citizens. That's something the founding generation never could have anticipated. But the fundamental principles still apply. The notion that government cannot search and seize our property without a warrant is just as relevant today as it was when the Fourth Amendment was ratified.

The "unalienable rights" deserve our respect -- and the respect of our government -- not because they were written by Thomas Jefferson or James Madison, but because they represent the wisdom of the ages.

Lori Arnold: “Does it matter if he hit the suspect. Two innocent people lost their lives and Todd Scott help chase him out of the store. The families affected by this horrible tragedy is in my thoughts and prayers!"

Abbie N Grant: “He is a Hero. Anytime someone puts themselves in harms way to protect another deserve that title. Thank you Sir. Job well done. So sad all around and we are praying for those families.”

Steven Wise: “You know, Todd and I aren't friends, hell, we barely can tolerate each other in general passing. But what he did in this situation was simply put his life in danger to save the lives of others. He was on the ground but stood up and faced the gunman and returned fire. So, Michael Burroughs, what are you gaining by being an ass about him? He and I have almost come to a fist fight because of how much we can't stand each other... But I'll be the first one in line to call Todd Scott a hero for saving innocent lives. And, I'll be the first one to defend him to ungrateful ignorant people like you that can't seem to pull your head outta your ass long enough to see the facts in this case. I know Todd, I know he doesn't feel like a hero and I'm willing to bet it upsets him more than we can imagine that he even HAD to return fire. But he did it. When callous cowards would've turned the other way and ran, he stood up and defended right and wrong. If you have nothing but being ungrateful to say about this situation, then just keep your dumb mouth shut. In fact, my granddaddy always told me, "before you shoot our mouth off, make sure your brains are loaded"....the dumbassery that you are displaying simply shows your ignorance. Even with the missed shots, it drove the man out and away and saved lives. Get over yourself. " Scott Elrod: “Correct me if im wrong here ....but doesn't common sense tell you to know what your shooting at before you squeeze the trigger. I ask because If Todd had presence of mind to identify a hostile environment, and enough sense to react to the situation ...surely he would have the common sense to know weather or not someone would be in the way CORRECT? or am I missing something here.

Millions chance." The question before us is of dollars are spent on conferences and whether wealth is something that is ob-

tained by chance. Did Bill Gates acquire his wealth by luck or chance? Or did he produce something that benefited his fellow man, causing people to voluntarily reach in their pockets to pay?

Gayle Cook and her late husband, William Cook, founded a medical device company using a spare bedroom in their apartment as a factory. Their company specializes in stents and antibiotic catheters. Now Gayle Cook has a net worth in the billions of dollars. Was she a winner in the lottery of life, or did she have to do something like serve her fellow man?

Are those who work hard, take risks, make life better for others and become wealthy in the process the people who should be held up to ridicule and scorn? And should we make mascots out of social parasites?

Obama talked about asking "from society's lottery winners to just make that modest investment." Congress doesn't ask people for money. Through intimidation, threats and coercion, it takes people's earnings. If people don't comply, the agents of Congress will imprison them.

Most instructive for us is that Obama's remarks were made at a university. Not a single professor has said anything about his suggestion that people accumulate great wealth by winning life's lottery. That is just more evidence about the level of corruption among today's academics.

The population is also getting older.

These numbers are harder to articulate, but we are currently in a period where the Baby Boomers occupy the primary working years of 45-65 years of age. In ten short years, they will average over 65 and want to retire. The next generation who will be funding these Boomers’ Social Security and Health Care will struggle to pay the benefits of that much larger older population. This is a worldwide trend among First World nations.

Education is also a challenge. Nearly the entire South (Georgia included) has a disproportionate amount of High School dropouts. More to the point, by 2020 (five short years) there will be ¾ of a million NEW jobs in Georgia that will require a post-High School Degree. That is why Governor Deal is so keen on expanding Career Academies.

Those who fail to plan are planning to fail. It is incumbent on us state and local leaders to plan for these trends to ensure a successful future for the workers who are aging as well as our children who will soon become workers.

On the Republican side, Santorum, Huckabee and Perry have all run before.

Paul and Bush have had fathers who have run -- and have been close to the fire. Kasich was part of the Republican Revolution of 1984 and was in the middle of the fire as the chairman of the House Budget Committee that balanced the budget in 1997.

Christie and Walker have endured intense state fire as governors, but as the stage grows larger, the heat grows in intensity.

Just wait till they tweet pictures of themselves next to the infamous butter cow, which includes 600 pounds of butter that is reused for up to 10 years — (the butter stays fresh longer than do most presidential candidates).

What else can we look forward to at the Iowa State fair? Pork chops on a stick, fried Oreos and deep-fried butter. It's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

Student wears eagle feather at graduation after lawsuit SUDHIN THANAWALA Associated Press

A Native American student wore an eagle feather that he considers sacred to his high school graduation ceremony Thursday night after resolving a court fight with a California school district.

Christian Titman, clad in blue with his fellow graduates of Clovis High School, marched into the stadium at sunset, his long braid with the eagle feather attached came out one side of his cap while the traditional graduate's tassel hung over the other side.

His presence — and the feather's — at the ceremony came after a last-minute deal with the Clovis Unified School District, which sought to enforce the strict graduation dress code that had previously led it to deny stoles, leis, rosaries and necklaces on other students.

The 18-year-old is a member of the Pit River Tribe, which considers eagle feathers sacred and symbolic of a significant accomplishment, and he said the

district was violating his rights to freedom of expression and religion under the California Constitution.

The case went to court before the sides agreed that Titman could wear the feather in his hair and attach it to his cap for the traditional tassel turn.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented Titman in the lawsuit, issued a statement Thursday night congratulating him on graduating and "proudly displaying an eagle feather."

"His determination to advocate for what is right has inspired us all," the ACLU said.

His mother, Renee Titman, did not immediately respond to phone messages left after the ceremony.

She said earlier that her son was expected to be popular at graduation, an accomplishment that required him to scramble for credits after he struggled during his freshman and sophomore years.

"Half his senior class wants to take pictures with him after what happened,"

she said.

She said that the school district had granted a dress-code exception for his long hair after he enrolled, and she had thought it would do the same for the feather.

Christian Titman declined requests for comment.

In a letter to Titman's attorneys in May, Superintendent Janet Young said the district's graduation dress code was intended in part to avoid "disruption ... that would likely occur if students were allowed to alter or add on to their graduation cap and gown."

Tara Houska, a tribal rights attorney in Washington, D.C., said fights over eagle feathers come up every year around graduation time and show the need to educate people about Native American culture.

"Just like the hijab or yarmulke, this is something that is intrinsic to the religion," she said. "This isn't just a symbol or something that is an individual fashion choice."

Creflo Dollar's megachurch to move forward with jet campaign ATLANTA (AP) — An Atlanta megachurch's board of directors said Wednesday that it is moving forward in a campaign to buy a private jet.

The board of directors for World Changers Church International and Creflo Dollar ministries said the Gulfstream G650 Dollar wants is necessary to continue international ministry and aid work. The jet is valued at more than $65 million.

An initial recorded appeal for donations didn't adequately explain that Dollar was looking for donations from like-minded people and not the public at large, board members said. The board

says a revamped video will be released soon. Numerous online reports quoted the initial request on the ministry's website as saying: "We are believing for 200,000 people to give contributions of 300 US dollars or more to turn this dream into a reality."

Board members said they reject criticism that the appeal for donations was an attempt at taking advantage of worshippers and that all significant church projects must be presented before they're implemented.

"A proper system of checks and balances is in place to insure the ministry's dealings are beyond reproach," the

statement said.

Dollar is a prominent African-American preacher based near Atlanta who has built successful ministries on the prosperity gospel. Ministers in this tradition often hold up their own wealth as evidence that the teaching works.

A former spokesman for Dollar said the ministry's current plane, acquired in 1999, was built in 1984, has traveled more than 4 million miles and is no longer safe.

Board members said the ministry's pastors travel more than 300 times a year for speaking engagements around the world.

DID YOU KNOW? While many people are indoctrinated into a particular religion at birth, others follow a different path. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process of gradually introducing adults and older children to the Roman Catholic faith. People who were not baptized as infants are eligible to enroll in an RCIA group in a parish where they live. While there is no concrete timetable for how long this period of indoctrination will last, many parishes tell prospective church members to expect the process to last eight to 12 months. Conversion to Roman Catholicism is gradual. Prospective candidates can attend inquiry classes to learn more about the faith. Inquirers enter into the next stage and will leave as catechumens. Catechumens are required to attend weekly mass, although they will be asked to leave the church after the homily is given and before the Eucharistic consecration takes place. Depending on the church, when catechumens and candidates are deemed eligible, they will be baptized andconfirmed. After renouncing sin, they will be allowed to receive Communion and be recognized as fully practicing members of the Catholic faith.

I once went for a job interview and was offered the job based upon my passing the physical. It was as a result of the physical exam that I discovered I had a tumor in my bladder. Praise God! The short story is that I was blessed to be able to have the tumor surgically removed and have been bladder cancer free ever since.

I tell you this story because Jesus is basically telling His crowd of listeners in Lk. 14:25-35; “You can have the job of being my disciple if you pass the spiritual exam.”

And it is here some of us discover we have some things that are not right with us and need undergo spiritual treatment.

First, Jesus says, 'Let’s check our relationships' (v.26). Are there any family, friends or otherwise ahead of your relationship with Christ? If so, they must be removed and our relationship with Christ must take first place.

Second, let’s examine your personal goals and agendas (v.27). Have these been brought before Christ to determine if they are God given or self-selected? If we are beholden to our own wills, agendas and self-made plans, we are going to need to schedule that spiritual surgery to have those removed before we can go on.

Third, Let’s examine the whole 'what I own' idea (v.33). The job does not require that you be without possessions, But it does require an honest look to see if there is anything that owns you.

If so, we’re going to need to take a spiritual scalpel to that before it spreads and creates major problems for you down the road.

Well how did you do on your spiritual physical? Are there any discoveries that might mean surgery today in order to have a healthier tomorrow? Okay, then if all is well, here is your job description: "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?

It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.

"He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Lk 14:34-35) Go out and be the kind of disciple that’s worth their salt.

CHAMPS Hawkins and Beshears win D-ll National Championship STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

Morgan Beshears and Amanda Hawkins, two softball players from somewhat rival schools in Alcovy and Eastside respectively, put their efforts together to help lift the University of North Georgia to a Division-ll National Championship, the first in North Georgia school history.

“Even still it doesn’t feel real,” Hawkins

said. “I think it’s always been a dream of all of us to get there in our career, but I don’t think we ever really thought that we would make it that far. Now that we have it’s just very surreal.”

“It was very exciting and we had support from our community, from the county waiting on us when we got back home and it was just very exciting. We’ve just felt very supported, it made it a lot easier,” Beshears added.

Hawkins is a junior catcher and a career

.262 hitter. She played in almost half the team’s games this year but dealt with a number of injuries this year and didn’t play because of them. Still, Hawkins cheered on her team from the dugout and saw the game in a completely different way.

“Not being able to play this season it really makes you see the game from the outside. On the field you’re tied up in the game and how many outs, it’s the little things, but when you take a step back and you’re seeing it all from

the dugout you really see the bigger picture,” Hawkins said. “You see how hard the whole team works and even the coaches. It really puts things in perspective as far as how hard the team really works and what we actually deserve as a team.”

Hawkins says her goal was to keep the entire team motivated by cheering loudly and keeping everyone’s spirits up. Beshears shared

MEET THE NEW FACES OF HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Mack Hardwick to bring community back to Alcovy

Brent Wren looks to continue Eastside legacy

King leaves Rockdale County High for Eastside

After a winless season last year, Alcovy boys basketball has a familiar face leading a new regime to change the culture in Tiger country. Mack Hardwick, who served as an assistant last year under one-and-done head coach Duane Kelley, will begin his first year as a head coach in the Fall.

Despite having a year under his belt with Alcovy, Hardwick had to go through the interview process like all of the other candidates. However, Hardwick says his experience with the team will prove beneficial going forward.

“It benefits me a lot because I already know what’s here.

There’s no surprises coming in,” Hardwick said. “When it comes down to it, I’m just excited to be working with the guys. We had a good experience last year. We had a bunch of young players – freshmen that were actually starting for JV. We’ve got a bunch of young talent so that’s the thing I’m gonna try to concentrate on maturating that young talent and bringing the community service and so forth.”

Hardwick says that he's been playing basketball since high school, before going on to play at Albany State. He was an assistant at a school in Dawson, Georgia before coming to Alcovy last year.

“I was never the best athlete. Some people were very gifted with talent and I had to work, I was real tall and awkward," Hardwick said.

Despite his flaws as a basketball player, Hardwick worked hard at the game and won most improved player every year in high school. He says he's old school, he believes in hard work, cardio and discipline.

“Without discipline your whole foundation will just rock. So this year I want to bring in the fundamentals, that’s all I’m concentrating on," the rookie head coach said.

Hardwick says that he wants his team to understand science of basketball and have a balanced attack of offense and defense.

On offense Hardwick plans to implement an inside-out game to get high percentage shots.

“Last year we did a lot of outside guard play, which was pretty unsuccessful in my opinion," Hardwick said. "Relying on guards as a high percentage shot, is very difficult.

Eastside boys basketball has a history of success. With the exit of former head coach Greg Freeman, there will be a new regime in town under newly hired head coach Brent Wren.

Wren says that he plans to continue the winning tradition that has already been established at Eastside. Wren praised Freeman and assistant coach Marquis Gilstrap for laying an excellent foundation. He says that he and Freeman have some of the same principles, which makes the transition that much easier.

“The key is to put your players in position where they can realize their potential and improve, and that’s what we want to do," Wren said. "We want to continue that legacy that they have going on there."

Coaching high school basketball isn't just about winning basketball games, it's about preparing the youth for their future and Wren understands that completely.

“The biggest thing we want for them is to kind of see basketball the way I see it. As a way to form life and character and be able to build from that," Wren said passionately.

"We look at basketball kind of as a tool. A lot of times, for our kids we need something to help them and a lot of times the court is it. If I can reach them through this, we can push toward the classroom and a lot of other things. You get a lot more respect sometimes just being looked at as a coach and somebody that’s mentoring or teaching."

With the building of character and men, Wren also wants to win. He's a defense-first coach, and he primarily likes to use man-to-man defense.

Wren says that if you're playing man-to-man the right way it looks like a zone. He wants his players to understand how to defend screens and how to defend movement in order to be successful under his philosophies.

On the offensive end, Wren says that he wants his team to get high percentage shots, move the ball and play ball inside-out.

“We want to get the best shot we can in about 15 seconds so that we kind of put pressure on teams offensively in transition is really what we want to do. Not allowing teams

Eastside’s new girls’ basketball coach is home. A Covington native, Gladys King – formerly Rockdale County High School girls head basketball coach – will take over for former Lady Eagles head coach Matthew Jackson, after accepting the job this Spring.

King has a profuse amount of basketball experience.

She’s played the sport here in Newton County since she was in the sixth grade before transferring to RCHS for her final three years in high school. King went on to earn a scholarship and play in Oklahoma before moving back to Georgia to play at Paine College in Augusta. King, who is 6-foot-1 played center in high school and small forward in college.

She made her money, as they say, scoring in the paint and getting rebounds.

After spending a year at Salem under Rochone Dilligard, King went on to work as an assistant at Rockdale before being hired as the head coach.

“They came looking for me. When opportunity knocks, you have to go for that opportunity. I thought it was a good fit because I’m right in this area, I know a lot of people in this area. I know some of the parents and people in this community so that was one of the reasons. I’m right at home,” King said.

King says the community had has welcomed her back with open arms. She says she’s received phone calls and messages, and it’s been a wonderful feeling.

Some of the Lady Eagles and King are already hard at work this summer. They’ve been practicing and will participate in a number of tournaments this summer as they get used to one another.

“My goals are for the girls to be very competitive. Always compete, always working hard, doing your best and giving 100 percent at everything that they do,” King said.

After a few practices with a small squad due to it being summer, King said she was very impressed with what she’s seen, especially her seniors.

“They show great leadership. They come out and they’re working hard, so I’m really impressed,” King said about her seniors.

RAMS WIN CAM NEWTON 7-ON-7 TOURNEY The Newton Rams football team went up to North Atlanta to win Cam Newton’s 7-on-7 championship. Newton’s next stop is a paid trip to Charlotte for the finals. Head coach Terrance Banks says the team is still a work in progress, as they look to dominate the summer before the regular season starts.

Braves' bullpen battered again ATLANTA (AP) — Braves starter Williams Perez lasted only five innings, and that burden proved too great for Atlanta's beleaguered bullpen.

Four relievers combined to allow six runs as Atlanta failed to keep pace with the streaking Pirates in Friday night's 10-8 loss to Pittsburgh.

Atlanta's bullpen has given up 13 runs in the last three games — all losses.

"I've got to figure it out,"

manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Whatever combination works."

Neil Walker hit a three-run homer, a towering shot deep into the right-field seats off Perez in the fifth inning. Starling Marte's two-run drive off Luis Avilan (2-1) gave the Pirates a 6-4 lead in the sixth.

Trevor Cahill allowed three runs and five hits in the eighth. Nick Masset gave up a run in the ninth.

The spotlight is on the bullpen, but the short outing by

Perez added to the problem.

Perez, a rookie righthander making his fourth start, threw 101 pitches. He allowed four runs on five hits and five walks and left with the game tied 4-all.

"When your starter doesn't go deep in ballgames, you kind of get exposed a little bit there," Gonzalez said.

Cameron Maybin, who had three of Atlanta's 14 hits, said the hitters have to provide encouragement for the pitchers.

I’m mainly focused on trying to win inside-out, defense and basic schemes.

That’s it."

As an assistant, Hardwick has an abundance of experience, which has taught him a lot in terms of how to coach a team.

“I actually learned you really have to adjust your schematics when it comes to offense and defense to the team that you have," Hardwick said.

When he was down in Dawson,

“We all are very supportive of our teammates. We cheered and encouraged them when they got down and just kept their spirits up through the whole thing. We had each other’s back, no matter what,” Beshears said.

The journey for the title started early. As Hawkins says the team had a championship mindset all season, but when they lost the first game of the tournament their championship hopes dwindled slightly.

“I think were a little taken back, a little surprised. I think we needed that,” Hawkins said of the loss. “I think we needed to get hit in the mouth a little bit to kind of get our act together and then realize what we need to do. We needed to do a lot better than how we played in the first game to actually go as far as we think we should go.”

“On this team we call it season-by-season, so when we play conference our goal was to win conference. Then when we made it to regionals, our goal was to win regionals. So we just took it with each season and then when we finally made it to the world series it became each game. So we were trying to win each game and then finally making it to the championship game,” Hawkins added proudly.

The Nighthawks scored zero runs in their first game of the world series, but managed to score at least seven in three of their final four games.

“After our first loss we just got back out on the field and it made us want to win even more,” Beshears said. “We just got after it. We started playing North Georgia softball, and we started hitting the ball.”

“We just started motivating each other. When one person got a hit, we all got a hit. It’s kind of like a domino effect. It just seemed like the whole team kind of turned on after that first game and we just became unstoppable, really,” Hawkins added.

Both Beshears and Hawkins know they have work to do if they intend to help the team repeat next year, and they’re equally up to the task.

“I’m gonna work hard this summer,” Hawkins said. “With my physical growth and mental growth I hope that I can go into my senior year with a very determined and positive attitude and just be in the lineup next year and be able to help my team win another national championship.”

“Our seniors and our upperclassmen really helped set the goal for next year also,” Beshears said. “We want to be able to do the same thing, so that’s our goal next year too.”

point out to them your role, you don’t have to be known for just scoring you can be known for your defense, you can be known for your hustle, you can be known for getting that steal that we need or making that good pass or dishing the ball off. We need role players and you’ve got to understand and be able to recognize what those role players are and the role players got to be able to recognize and accept their role.”

King, right now, is just happy to be home and she looks forward to continuing her career where it all started.

Aviva Stadium, with Boston College serving as the home team.

"I know the young men on our team will remember this experience for a lifetime, and I'm so excited for them," Boston College coach Steve Addazio said.

"They will get to explore a new country, be immersed in a new culture, and then play the first game

on the opening Saturday of the college football season."

Boston College will be playing in Ireland for the second time, defeating Army 38-24 in 1988 at the old Lansdowne Road stadium in Dublin.

This will be the first international game for Georgia Tech, though not for coach Paul Johnson. He was Navy's offensive coor-

dinator when the Midshipmen played Notre Dame at Croke Park in 1996, losing 54-27.

"I'm excited for our guys to have the opportunity to experience playing in Ireland," Johnson said. "Our players really enjoyed it at Navy when we played in Dublin in 1996. It'll be something they remember for the rest of their lives."

Hardwick says the team had maybe one or two plays because they just relied on raw talent. He recognizes that here he doesn’t have that luxury, yet.

“One thing I’ve learned as a coach is to try to make sure that I put a system in that is linear to my student body. That’s one of the things that I’ve learned the most," Hardwick said.

Not just for fashion anymore, sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays. The ability of sunglasses to block UV light is not dependent on the darkness of the lens or the price tag. Always choose sunglasses that are labeled as blocking 99-100% of UV rays. Some manufacturers’ labels will say “UV absorption up to 400nm,” which is the same thing as 100% UV absorption.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Get the scoop on pool sanitizers STAFF REPORTS news@covnews.com

Many homeowners enjoy the convenience and recreational value of having a pool in their backyards. Pools can be a great spot to gather on warm days, often serving as the centerpiece of summer recreation.

Pools require substantial upkeep to function properly and be safe for swimming. The right combination of factors are needed to maintain a proper water balance to prevent skin and eye irritation as well as to ensure the water is clean. Sanitizers play a significant role in ensuring that safety.

Various sanitizers are on the market, although people are most familiar with chlorine-based sanitizers. The goal of a sanitizer is to prevent the growth of bacteria and algae in pool water. Sanitizers also will inhibit the growth of viruses and other organic contaminants.

First-time homeowners who have never had a pool may find it challenging to choose a sanitizer that will work for them. Each sanitizer has its share of pros and cons, but many homeowners hope to find one that is both cost-effective and convenient. The following are some of the sanitizers to consider.

Liquid chlorine: Sodium hypochlorite, also known as bleach, is a common pool sanitizer.

Liquid chlorine does not have any additives and will not affect pool water in any other way except for providing sanitation. Liquid chlorine can be cumbersome to store and splashing the product while adding it to the water can damage clothing.

Cal-hypo: Calcium hypochlorite is another sanitizing option for pools. It is usually sold in granular form because pucks or sticks will break down too quickly in chlorine feeders. Cal-hypo is often an unstabilized form of chlorine, which means it does not

have a stabilizing chemical mixed with it to prevent chlorine burn-off from the sun.

Depending on your needs, unstabilized chlorine can be an asset or a detriment.

Dichlor and trichlor: Dichloro-s-triazinetrione and trichloro-s-triazinetrione are two different stabilized chlorine sources.

They are mixed with a substance called cyanuric acid, which helps prevent the quick usage of chlorine in outdoor pools. Sunlight can reduce the efficacy of chlorine, and this stabilizer will help buffer that effect. Since these chlorine sources typically come in pucks or tablets, they can be placed in feeders and will deliver consistent chlorine without daily maintenance. Trichlor has one of the highest levels of available chlorine of all pool sanitizers. However, one disadvantage is that if the stabilizer levels build up too much in the pool, you will require even more chlorine to combat this effect, sometimes creating a cycle of chlorine ineffectiveness.

Salt: Salt-cell pools use a process of electrolysis to extract chlorine from the salt added to the specialized equipment, thus sanitizing the pool automatically. Some people prefer salt because it seems more natural and requires less maintenance.

Bromine: Bromine is similar to chlorine.

While the byproducts of chlorine do not benefit pool water, bromine byproducts can continue to sanitize the water, making it last longer than chlorine. Bromine can be more expensive than chlorine, which might deter homeowners looking for the most cost-effective pool sanitizer.

Pool water chemistry can be a complex process. But homeowners have many options at their disposal when it comes time to choose the right sanitizer.

trum protection with at least SPF 15.

And if it wasn’t complicated enough, insect repellants reduce sunscreen’s SPF by up to 1/3 so, when using a combination, use a sunscreen with a higher SPF. The bottom line is that a simple change to your morning routine – brush teeth, brush hair, and put on the sunscreen – can significantly decrease the risk exposure to the sun.

So slather on the sunscreen in the morning and throughout your time in the sun so you can enjoy the rest of your sunny day!

BIGGER AND Actual bombing runs over Germany by Ray Clay's squadron taken from Ray's B-17

D

BIGGER

BOMBERS

ecember 23, 1944, Podington, England: Two of eight “Recommendation for Award” excerpts for Captain Raymond V. Clay, 92nd Bomb Group, 326th Bombardment Squadron, 8th Air Force.

“On September 11, 1944, Captain Clay flew No. 4 of the High Squadron “C” Group to Merseberg, Germany. On the bomb run Capt. Clay’s B-17 was badly hit suffering 72 large flak holes knocking out #2 engine, the oxygen system, the hydraulic system, radio and VHS and wounding the waist gunner. Despite the damage, Capt. Clay remained calm as lead bomber and completed the bomb run.

On the return trip to base, #3 engine ran dry on approaching the field. Without hydraulic pressure and relying on two of the four remaining engines, Capt. Clay made a perfect landing.”

“On October 7, 1944, Captain Clay led the High Squadron of “A” Group to Ruhland, Germany. Cloud cover obscured the target. Capt. Clay led his squadron through the target area twice before leading the squadron to the secondary target.

After a successful strike, Capt. Clay’s B-17 was hit over Osnabruck, knocking out the aileron controls on the left wing. Due to low fuel and aileron damage, it became necessary for Capt. Clay to choose the first field available in England, the fighter base at Leiston. Deprived of aileron control it was almost impossible to line up with the runway. He came in from the right, jumped over four P-51 Mustangs in a dispersal area then hit the runway at an angle. The ship skidded into the grass, but no further damage was inflicted on the B-17 which was in operation in a few days.”

Raymond V. Clay enlisted in the Army Air Corps on Aug. 12, 1942. He worked as a bank teller until called for duty and training on Jan. 28, 1943, but failed the physical because he didn’t weigh enough. Told by the Flight Surgeon to gain some weight then come back, Ray stuffed his body with bananas and gallons of milk. Reporting back for testing, Ray barely met the weight requirement and was finally PETE MECCA accepted for flight school. Courage COLUMNIST and patriotism are not measured by weight: Ray Clay became a career Air Force officer, piloting the B-17 Flying Fortress into heavy air combat over Europe and eventually finished his military days behind the controls of a nuclear-laden B-52 jet bomber.

The story of Newton County resident Ray Clay is worthy of a book. This valiant warrior of the skies was born in North Bend, NE in 1920. “I lived with my grandmother and uncles, first in Nebraska, then Wyoming, and finally in L.A., California where I graduated high school,” he said. “After Pearl Harbor, I wanted to join the military but I was too young. I finally got a chance for flight school in 1943.”

Tex Rankin’s Aeronautical Academy, March of 1943, Tulare, CA.: “I first flew the BT-17 Stearman Bi-plane. The Stearman was a terrific trainer, but if you turned it upside down the thing would quit running. We flew from fields, no paved runways. My next stop was Marana, Arizona. We flew the BT13 Vultee Vibrator. It sure earned its nickname, but it was a bigger plane.”

Yuma, Arizona: “My next step was the twin-engine AT-17 Bobcat, and I thought that was big, then we flew the even bigger all-metal AT-9 Jeep twin-engine plane. But then I went to Hobbs, New Mexico to train on a four-engine B-17 Flying Fortress. Now, that was a big plane.”

Podington, England: “I liked the B-17. It was easy to fly and reliable. I think Boeing builds the best bombers. It brought me and my crew back from 30 missions over Europe, including Berlin.”

Ray’s first mission came a few days after D-Day, flying a low level bomb run in support of Allied troops. “We dropped fragmentation bombs on that mission,” he said. “That was my last low level mission. After that we went back to high altitude bombing, and we seldom flew the same aircraft into combat.

The Germans were running short on aviation fuel so their cities were heavily protected by flak. You learn to respect and at the same time hate flak. Those seemingly harmless black

‘poofs’ in the sky are actually thousands of metal pieces called shrapnel. They can rip a plane to shreds, and a direct hit will destroy the plane and its crew.”

When asked about his missions, Ray modestly replied, “Oh, I flew thirty of them.” With permission to review his flight records, this journalist quickly realized a real American hero was being interviewed. Ray Clay flew into the hell of some of the deadliest targets in WWII – Cologne (at least three times), Stuttgart, Kassel, Hannover, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin, and the infamous killer of flyboys: Schweinfurt.

He recalled one mission: “Flak was thick, you could walk on it. A piece of flak came though the aircraft, whizzed around a bit, and landed right between my legs. I still have that piece of flak.” On another mission, “I saw nothing but bombers in front of me, over 1,000 planes bringing the war to Hitler.” On high altitude bombing: “About -70 outside the plane; we had heated suits later in the war, didn’t help much.” On the cost of war: “I never lost a crewmember, but one radio operator just couldn’t take the pressure. He cracked up and had to be replaced.” On another type of loss: “Coming back to England could be hairy. Other groups and squadrons are trying to get home, crisscrossing each other in the sky, it was dangerous. Forming up for missions over Europe was also costly. I remember seeing two B-17s collide. The bombers and those poor boys just disappeared in the explosion.”

By the end of World War II, the 92nd Bombardment Group had flown 308 missions and lost 154 aircraft and their crews from the Podington location.

Sent home after completing 30 missions, Ray Clay gripped the controls of an even bigger bomber: The Boeing B-29. “It was huge, pressurized, the guns computerized, the crewmembers in T-shirts at 30,000 feet. It was quite an impressive aircraft,” Ray recalled. “We were preparing for the invasion of Japan. Thankfully, that never happened.”

After the war Ray returned to civilian life as a banker. “Not a great way to support a family in those days,” he said. “I went back on active duty during the Korean War flying B-29s. I was assigned a radar calibration squadron. We made bomb runs on our West Coast to challenge radar sites set up along the coast, basically trying to sneak in without being caught, probing our national defense systems.” Asked if he managed to sneak in, Ray responded, “Nope, got caught every time.”

By 1953 Ray and his family moved to Bermuda. “That was good duty,” he said. “The kids loved Bermuda.” Asked his duties, Ray responded, “Oh, I hunted hurricanes.” Explaining his responsibilities, Ray said, “We flew the B-29s into the eyes of hurricanes. It’s very quiet inside an eye, we circled around for about six hours collecting data. However, flying in and out of a hurricane can be a bit hairy, it’s rough, with very heavy turbulence. We lost a few hurricane hunters. If caught on the ground, we’d face the bombers into the wind and rev up the

Ray Clay today, holding a piece of flak (anti-aircraft fire) that landed between his legs over Germany engines to match the ground speed of the hurricane. That way we prevented the B-29s from flipping over.”

Ray was reassigned to the B-50s. “Yep, a bigger plane,” he said. Special secret missions were flown out of Saudi Arabia. “We were rigged with sensitive gear to pick up air samples containing nuclear Captain Ray Clay home particles from Soviet A-bomb from his 30 missions over tests.”

Europe.

Barksdale AFB, LA – 1956: “Well, there it was, the biggest airplane I’d ever flown, the Boeing B-47 Stratojet, six engine, turbojet powered strategic bomber, America’s first jet bomber.

I didn’t like it. The B-47 had a tandem cockpit, the pilot in back, copilot in the front seat, and a navigator/bombardier in the nose. It was easy to get sick on a B-47, I mean you are strapped in a seat for seven or eight hours, no room to maneuver….I didn’t like it. Then in 1958 I was assigned an even bigger bomber, the biggest I ever flew, the B-52 Stratofortress.

Now that, is a big airplane.” Eight engines, a 48’ tail, wing span over 170 feet, nuclear or conventional bombs, the B-52 is still in service and is considered the best strategic bomber ever built. Today, no B-52 pilot is older than the aircraft under his/ her control.

During the Cold War, Ray Clay did his part to keep our enemies at bay. He was on a 30 day alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis and ready to fly his B-52 to safety or hit an assigned target if America came under attack from foreign missiles.

Airborne alerts, called ‘Chrome Dome”, kept Ray airborne for 24 hours. He recalled, “We were nuclear armed and ready to hit Russia if ordered to do so. A ‘Chrome Dome’ flight required two in-flight refuelings, about 120,000 pounds of fuel each. The fuel was pumped through a boom from a KC-135 jet tanker. When hooked up, we flew about 15 feet from the tankers’ tail for about 30 minutes. It took a 27 hour day for a B-52 crew to spend 24 hours in flight.”

Ray Clay retired from the Air Force on March 1, 1968 after serving his country for 26 years. He worked for another 15 years as a simulator instructor in civilian commercial aviation before retiring in 1983.

Honor Flight Conyers was delighted to have Lt. Col. Raymond V. Clay as one of our veterans for the April flight to Washington, DC. Indeed, the Lt. Col. was a hit with an admiring public, wearing his Air Force dress blues for the trip.

A job well-done sir. Our country thanks you.
