Boys & Girls Club named CCF Nonprofit of the Year BY REBECCA LEFTWICH
becky@newnan.com A 2017 grant from the Coweta Community Foundation helped establish a reading club for members of the Newnan-Coweta Boys & Girls Club, and the organization has been named Nonprofit of the Year by the foundation for 2018. Executive Director Lauren Odom said she was shocked when the club was announced as the winner at the foundation’s annual awards and grants ceremony, held Jan. 19 at the Newnan Centre. “I’m still in shock,”
Odom said. “What I do is basic, everyday stuff. It’s what I’m supposed to be doing. I don’t view it as me going above and beyond.” The eight-week book club was a success, Odom said, matching stronger readers with readers of the same grade level who were not as strong. “I honestly think kids learn best from peers,” she said, adding that the foundation’s grant was utilized to purchase books, snacks, supplies and decorations for the program. In addition to the Nonprofit of the Year award, the club received another
grant from the foundation to be used for its garden club. About a dozen elementary school-aged students currently are learning about gardening from UGA Extension Service Master Gardeners. Grant funds will be used to build raised beds and replace edging, to purchase gardening supplies and to take club members on a field trip to a farmer’s market. The Coweta Community Foundation also presented Leadership Awards

Committee members with the “Lights for Linda” and “Links for Linda” campaigns recent ly presented a check totalling $21,164.33 to the Atlanta chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “What a stellar way to cap off a memorable year,” stated Nancy Sanker. “My heart is filled

with gratitude to friends who donated their time and talents, and to the businesses who were quick to donate.” Nancy began “Lights for Linda” in Dec. 2010 after her sister, Linda McGrenaghan, passed away from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. She was just 52 years old. Nancy and her neighbors in the SummerGrove neighborhood bought luminaria kits from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, sold them and
donated the proceeds back to the organization. Nancy has continued the tradition and watched it ex pa nd i nto ot her communities. She and a group of neighbors held the inaugural “Links for Linda” golf tournament in October of 2017. T he event ra ised $14,000, Nancy said. Caroline Hawes also contributed to the cause by setting up shop in 2017

Retired power facility demolished at Plant Yates; officials move forward with integrated resource plan

Past and present Georgia Power employees and their families watch Saturday morning as the old electric facility implodes and falls to the ground.
BY MELANIE RUBERTI melanie@newnan.com
The landscape at Plant Yates off Dyer Road will look a little different when Georgia Power employees return to work on Monday. With a push of a button, demolition crews brought down the old plant facility that powered units 1-5 Saturday morning during a controlled implosion. A smoke stack near the building was also demolished during the planned event. Gasps of awe sounded t h roug hout t he sm a l l c rowd g at here d on a nearby hilltop as the historic buildings slowly disappeared after a series of loud explosions. The sturdy structures were reduced to rubble under large clouds of smoke and dust. “That was awesome,” exclaimed Jimmy Mull. “They told us how it was going to fall and it did just as they said it would.” Mull and his family
drove from Rome, Ga to watch the implosion. He works for Cleveland Electric, a contracting company that helped Georgia Power and Plant Yates prepa re for t he demolition. Bob Jones, 87, was also among the spectators on Saturday. He was a ma intena nce super v isor a nd an employee of Georgia Power for 37 years. Jones, who was nicknamed “Tex” by former colleagues, worked at Plant Yates in Unit 4 beginning in 1957. Saturday’s demolition of the old power plant was bittersweet for Jones. “I kind of hated to see it go, but you can’t stop progress. Time passes on, I guess,” he said. “We had some really good, experienced employees and really good management too.” Monroe McKoy also said he was sad to see the facility demolished Saturday morning.

McKoy began his career at Plant Yates in April 1959. He started as an auxiliary equipment operator and worked his way up the ladder. McKoy was the assistant boiler turbine supervisor when he retired from Plant Yates in May of 1989. Pa r t of h is job wa s supervising the production of electricity for Georgia citizens. That meant putting in some long days, but he enjoyed the work and his colleagues, he said. “Watching the implosion … it felt like I was losing an old friend because of all the hours spent on the job there,” McKoy stated. “The plant not only provided electricity for the citizens of Georgia, but provided a way of life for me and my family.” McKoy said there was never a dull moment at the plant. “One cold, winter night a deer got i n side t he plant,” he said. “Several employees had to catch it because it was in dan-

ger of knocking several units off line and causing a loss of electricity.” The old facility used to run on coal, which powered Units 1-5 at Plant Yates from 1950 through 2015, according to Georgia Power officials. The units were retired following the passage of the Integrated Resource Plan by the Georgia Public Service Commission in 2013. P l a n t Ya t e s s l ow l y switched from using coal to only utilizing natural gas as a part of that plan. Natural gas powers the two remaining units at Plant Yates and provides electricity to hundreds of thousands of customers. Saturday’s implosion happened just one year and one day after Georgia Power demolished an 830foot smoke stack at Plant Yates. That event occurred on Jan. 20, 2017.

Old city jail eyed as possible site for commercial venture BY W. WINSTON SKINNER winston@newnan.com The small brick building on Madison Street where unruly people were once locked up when they imbibed too much may someday be a place to stop by for a drink. The brick building, used for storage for years, was originally the town’s jail. The Newnan Downtown Development Authority has been looking at possibilities for the structure for months. Several years ago, a landscape architecture student from the University of Georgia took a look at the jail and offered simple designs for the building as a restaurant-bar or as an office. No decision has been made about what to do with the building – or even how to actively market it. “There are great opportunities for it,” said Assistant City Manager Hasco Craver IV. “We would love to see something there eventually,” Courtney Harcourt, the city’s Main Street
manager, said Friday. She said city has not had specific proposals regarding use of the building. Harcourt said she hopes the eventual use is one where the building continues to be identified as the historic old city jail. A bar or pub is a possible use for the structure. “There are no regulatory issues as far as the distance from schools, churches and rehabilitation facilities,” Harcourt said. The probation offices are nearby, but they are not classified as a treatment facility. Harcourt said brew pubs are often at the edge of downtown area. Being in the margin between industrial and commercial is seen as “sort of hip,” she said. The current zoning is light industrial, which would allow someone to actually manufacture beer there. “We allow for microbreweries in industrial zoning only,” Craver
said. Casey Smith, who runs Redneck Gourmet and is chairman of the DDA, said in September that making the area around and behind the jail “a little more presentable” could help market it – and help people see possibilities for the building. Craver said a water tower at one time stood behind the jail. “There’s actually still a pad,” he said. “The property does rest on a slope, as well.” Newnan Mayor Keith Brady shared similar thoughts, saying at at DDA meeting that the land around the jail is “critical to” the project. Thinking about adjacent and nearby parking is also part of the process. In September, Harcourt told DDA members she had contacted Jailhouse Brewery in Hampton, which is located in a former city jail. “The door’s always open if they

want to come check it out,” she said. It seems likely the DDA will take steps to determine what the ideal future for the small brick building is during 2018. While Craver said the city could simply “let the market decide what the best use is,” there also have been discussions “about actually having somebody come here and
tell us what the best use is.” “We need to hire somebody to give us some ideas … about what might go on there,” Brady said. “The DDA shouldn’t wait on somebody else to take the lead on it,” DDA member Ray DuBose, who also serves on the city council, said at DDA meeting last year. “Don’t wait on somebody else to do it.”

Homeless camps closed; residents not forcibly removed BY SARAH FAY CAMPBELL sarah@newnan.com Several homeless camps in unincorporated Coweta were vacated by residents in December, but no one was forcibly removed, accord i n g to Cowe t a officials. Coweta Code Enforcement Officer Tim Shelnutt said residents were given warning times of several days to a few weeks before they needed to vacate the unauthorized camps. O n e c a m p , lo c a te d between the Interstate 85 Southbound on-ramp and the interstate itself at Exit 41, was closed on shorter notice by the Georgia Department of Transportation. A couple was still living there when Shelnutt and GDOT crews arrived to clear out the area. The couple were able to call friends who came with a truck to collect their belongings, Shelnutt said. County officials didn’t help the residents of the camps find new places to stay, but Shelnutt said he did reach out to local organization Bridging the Gap, which provides services to local homeless people, and told several of the residents about Bridging the Gap. “We do care about the people,” Shelnutt said. “But we have no control over it and it’s got to be cleaned up.” David Gregory of One Roof Outreach, which provides limited short-term lodging in local motels for homeless Cowetans, said he worked with one couple that was living in a camp and got them into a motel. The man’s sister had taken the couple to One Roof. The couple then returned to the camp, and One Roof was later able to put them in a motel again, he said. One Roof was able to help the couple with getting back on some medications,
which helped their situation, he said. There are no shelters in Coweta, and few affordable housing options. W it h out a f ford a ble housing, “this is what we get,” Gregory said of homeless camps in the woods. Gregory said that in the last few months, he has been in discussions with a few people about the possibility of getting a real homeless shelter in Coweta. “It’s time to move in the direction of doing something about it instead of just tearing it down,” he said. “They can tear it down, but if the situation is as bad as it seems to be, people will go back somewhere else. They’ve got to have a place to live." From 2008 to 2010, at the height of the housing crisis and recession, Coweta County did have a homeless shelter, of sorts. The Belair Family Center, a former personal care home, operated as a shelter until neighborhood complaints led the Coweta County Commissioners to put extensive conditions on the shelter’s operation – conditions it was never able to meet. The facility was on Old Newton Road near Sargent, far from any services. Having residents walking up and down rural roads, occasionally asking children playing in their yards for money, didn’t sit well with local residents. The building was declared unsafe by the fire marshal. A few months later, the county passed new ordinances regulating “transitional housing shelters.” Shelters must have a commercial kitchen and food service permit, can only be in multi-family, office/ institutional or commercial areas, and can’t house anyone on parole or pro-
bation, anyone convicted of a felony in the past five years, or anyone convicted of domestic violence or sex crimes. Before the vote, in July of 2010, former Commissioner Robert Wood asked the commissioners not to implement the strict regulations. "What you have done in this ordinance is say there will be no shelters in this county because nobody is going to spend the kind of money to put together a shelter," he said at the 2010 meeting. "They've got to use prime land. Prime off ice facilities, prime commercial facilities ... they're not going to do it. They can't afford it." T he la rgest ca mp, referred to as “tent city,” was located on property behind the McDonald’s on U.S. Highway 29. Part of the property is owned by McDonald’s, and part is owned by St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta. A smaller camp was nearby behind Greenway Amoco, and another camp was along Hwy. 34 near the entrance to Yamaha. When contacted by code en forcement, McDona ld ’s , G r e e n w a y a n d Yamaha began working to clean up the remains of the camps. But St. Luke’s wasn’t responsive, according to Shelnutt. He spoke to someone at the church about the issue, then sent a certified letter, as required by the county’s ordinance, in early January. Shelnutt said he then called church officials again and said that cleanup needed to move forward. With no action from the church, the county was set to do the cleanup work itself. A call to St. Luke’s by T h e Ne w n a n T i m e s Herald was not returned Tuesday. Coweta Code Enforce-
ment got involved at the request of the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies occasionally visit the homeless camps and talk to the residents, said Major Mark Fenninger. Several arrests have been made of people living at the camps with active warrants. There have also been crimes associated with the homeless camps, according to Fenninger. Most are property crimes including stealing items from vehicles. Recently, while Shelnutt and deputies were at the camp, a vehicle pulled up. The passenger, who had an active felony warrant, gave false information then fled from deputies, Shelnutt said. The camp on U.S. Hwy.

The “tent city” homeless camp along U.S. 29 South near Interstate 85 Exit 41 was vacated in December, after residents were told to leave by Coweta Code Enforcement.
29 South was “a particular problem we have been trying to get cleaned up,” Fenninger said. Some of the areas have been camps for over a year, he said. Previously there was a homeless
camp on the east side of U.S. Hwy. 29 South. It was cleaned up, Fenninger said. Fenninger said he thinks there are also some problems in the city of Newnan with a homeless camp.
