Four-month-old Wesley Melville smiles while cuddling with his mom, Elizabeth, at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Elizabeth just completed a round of tests and will learn next week whether she can donate part of her liver to Wesley.
A Mother’s love BY MELANIE RUBERTI
melanie@newnan.com At just four months old, Wesley Melville has already earned the title “Sir Wesley,” and rightfully so. The baby boy is the king of his castle – on good days. But sadly, those days are becoming more rare
as the little boy fights for his life. Wesley was born with a rare disease called biliary atresia. The disorder causes bile ducts become inf lamed and blocked, meaning the liver cannot properly filter out toxins, according to www.liverfoundation.org.
Wesley was diagnosed with the disease when he was only three weeks old, said his mom, Elizabeth Melville. “He wasn’t responding to light and he was very jaundiced,” she said. “The doctors ra n tests a nd

BY SARAH FAY CAMPBELL sarah@newnan.com Georgia Gov. Nathan D e a l h a s si g ned t he Hands Free Georgia Act into law. The act, which strongly limits how wireless phones and other electronic devices can be used by Georgia drivers, will go into effect July 1. The law prohibits holding a phone, or supporting it with one’s body, while driving. It also prohibits web browsing, texting, and most other phone use while driving. Drivers can use hand’s free devices or speaker phone to make phone calls, and can use voiceto-text technology, under the act. The law applies whether a vehicle is moving or stopped at traffic light, stop sign, or in traffic. Phone use is allowed while a vehicle is “legally parked." The only exception is to make an emergency phone call. Drivers can continue to use their phones for navigation, but still cannot hold or support them with their bodies while doing so. Making videos or photos, or using other elect ron ic dev ices wh i le driving is also prohibited. Dash cam videos are still allowed. L aw en forcement, public safety workers and utility contractors
are exempt if the use of devices is related to official duties or in response to an emergency.

according to published reports. He admitted to texting and sending messages before the crash,
...it’s aim is to prevent the types of tragic and avoidable deaths that occured on that stretch of I-16 on that horrible day...
For mer Coweta n Suzanne Minarcine got involved in the push for the hands free legislation. Her young grandson was killed several years when he was struck by a driver who Minarcine said was on a phone call. She participated in hearings and visited the state capitol. “It was an interesting process,” Minarcine said. “I learned a lot about Georgia politics." Deal signed the bill, House Bill 673, in a ceremony Wednesday in Statesboro. The location was chosen to commemorate the 2015 deaths of five Georgia Southern University nursing students who were killed in a car crash on Interstate 16. The commercial truck driver who hit them pleaded guilty to five counts of first degree ve h i c u l a r h o m i c i d e ,
”
though he denied using the phone at the time of the crash. The death of the students "reminds us what can happen in an instant,” Deal said during the bill signing ceremony, accord i ng to a press release. "A life, a life full of potential and the joy it brought to their families is suddenly taken away. I am honored to sign this Hands Free legislation here in this community, the home of Georgia Southern. Its aim is to decrease distracted driving by prohibiting the use of wireless telecommunication devices while on any public roads on our state. Even more so, it's aim is to prevent the types of tragic and avoidable deaths that occured on that stretch of I-16 on that horrible day in April of 2015."

Sounds that Heal Thursday
May10, 2:30 p.m., Free Singing bowls produce sounds which invoke a deep state of relaxation, stress reduction and holistic healing. Many people find that the rich blend of harmonic overtones which the
bowls produce have a direct affect on the energy centers of the body. The discussion will include the history, technique and benefits of the singing bowl. If you have your own bowl or any musical instrument, bring it to this class for a “healing jam session.” For questions or to register, call the Carnegie Library at 770-683-1347.

School Bus Drivers
For the 2018-19 School Year PHOTOS BY MEGAN BELLEW

Starting pay for school bus drivers will move to $15.29/hour (up from $12.99) and top pay will move to $25.99/hour (up from $22.11).

Little Free Pantries coming to Newnan BY TAYLOR ROBINS
taylor@newnan.com In a n effort to ease h a rd s h ip s , f re e fo o d pantries will be coming to Newnan in the next few weeks. “It’s basically like the c om mu n it y j u s t t a king on a project,” said Brian Shelton, local cofo u n d e r a n d p r oj e c t manager for Newnan’s Little Free Pantry. “ We want to help people.” Shelton and his wife and , Pat Shelton, are planning to build and pl ace outdoor publ ic pa ntries for the community to use a nd stock. The project was approved by t he cit y council on March 29. T he projec t , wh ich includes two pantries, is on a one-yea r tria l to evaluate the success and benefits of the program. The pantries are currently being built and may be placed at their locations in the next two weeks. T h e p ol i c e s t a t i on on Bu l lsboro Drive will serve as one location, and the f ire station on Temple Avenue will serve as the second location. Shelton requested these locations because they are well lit and safe. “We just want to continue to grow, as it needs, as much as we can,” said Shelton about the project’s growth. “We want to put out as many as we can. It’s been slow start, but I think it’ll pick up some momentum. We’re looking forward to getting it kicked off.” Accord i n g to Shelton, this project is not i ntende d to comp ete with existing food pantries. It is only a quick a nd e a s y solut ion to hardships that anyone may have to overcome, since the pantries will
be available 24/7. The pa ntries a re not on ly limited to the homeless. “It may be for a person, who for some reason, this week maybe they had to spend their money to fix the car to get to work and they’re a little short,” Shelton explained. “There’s not a relief for that. So they can run up to the pantry and get something to fix dinner for the family or take to work.” M a r y-A n n D o s s e t t Shelton of Keller Will ia m s Rea lt y a nd t he rea lt y compa ny h ave ag reed to a 1 2-mont h sponsorship. Sponsors are to restock the pantries twice a week with non-perishable items, check on them and report on the wellbeing of the pantries. Community residents m ay a l s o le ave fo o d items in the pantries for others. “Some people see wh at ’s goi n g on a nd how effective it is,” Shelton said about how the project works in other areas. “When they go to the grocery store, they throw a couple of extra cans of non-perishable items in the ca rt a nd stick it in the (Little Free Pantry).” T here a re four free and existing pantries in Georgia, they are located i n : Ca r tersv i l le, Ca rrollton, Duluth and Athens. In the United States there are 235 recorded pa ntries according to the Little Free Pantry website. “They are popping up everywhere as a result of people seei ng t hat there’s a need for it,” said Shelton. The pilot pantry was installed and stocked in May 2016, according to the website.

Counter-protesters gather on Greenville Street during Saturday afternoon’s National Socialist Movement rally. By 6 p.m., all crowds had dissipated and downtown Newnan was a proverbial ghost town with only a few restaurants still open for business. There was no property damage reported and only 10 arrests, according to Assistant City Manager Hasco Craver. For full story, see Page 7A.

Nora Melville, 5, cuddles with her baby brother Wesley during a rare moment at home. Four-month-old Wesley was diagnosed with biliary atresia and has spent most of his young life at the Children’s Hospital of Atlanta waiting for a liver transplant.
WESLEY
continued from page 1
noticed his liver enzymes were extremely high. The normal range is 13. Wesley’s number was in the hundreds.” If left untreated, biliary atresia can cause cirrhosis and ultimately liver failure. Wesley was less than a month old when he had his first surgery, called t he K asa i procedure, which creates new bile ducts using the baby’s own intestine. The operation would allow proper drainage from the liver, according to www.liverfoundation. org . The surgery has an 80 percent success rate. Shortly after the opera t i o n , “ S i r We s l e y ” returned to his castle in Newnan with his parents and 5-year-old sister Nora. But he didn’t stay long. “We were home for two months. Life felt so normal,” said Elizabeth. “I went back to work and Wesley went into daycare. But then his appetite decreased and he started spitting up more.” At Wesley ’s t h ree month checkup, the family received devastating news. “The doctor felt his liver and said she could feel it hardening,” Elizabeth said. “She told us he would need a liver transplant before he turned 2 years old. “My husba nd Jonathan and I were both reeling,” she added. “We didn’t know what all a transplant entailed, but we k new it was seriou s a nd it wou ld be life-changing.” Suddenly, Sir Wesley’s “castle” went from his Newnan home to a room at Children’s Hospital of Atlanta. Elizabeth said the disease continues to progress rapidly. “His liver is enlarged and hardened. He is very yellow (jaundiced). He has all the signs of liver failure,” she explained. On Monday, doctors
drained fluid from Wesley. The fluid was pressing on his tiny lungs and making it hard for him to breathe. His belly was swollen from the f luid buildup, said Elizabeth. Wesley’s life depends on a liver tra nspla nt from either a deceased or living donor. E l i z a b et h s a id s he hopes she can give her you n g s on a s e c ond chance at life. T he t wo sh a re t he same blood type. Elizabeth completed a round of te st s , wh ich h ave confirmed that she is a match and can donate a portion of her liver to Wesley. “I don’t want to see him suffer one more minute than he has to,” she said. “I’m watching this disease progress, seeing it rob the joy from our family, and seeing Wesley smile less and less. I ache just to give him my liver now. “My birthday is May 12 and I would love to give him my liver,” she added. “When Wesley was born, he stole a piece of my heart. So, why not give him a piece of my liver too?” Children born with biliary atresia have a more than a 90 percent chance of living a normal life following a liver transplant, according to www.liverfoundation.org . E l i z a b et h s a id s he is lea n i ng on fa m i ly, friends and faith to get her and Wesley through this tough time. She sa id she hopes We s l e y ’s s t o r y w i l l inspire more people to give the gift of life. “I hope people will look at pictures of Wesley, see what we’re going through and decide to become an organ donor. It only takes a minute,” she said. “There are people who perish on the waiting list.” Tra nspla nts ca n be costly. Families usually need to raise money for the operation, hospital visits
and anti-rejection medications, which will help sustain the patient and donated organ for the rest of their life. Currently, the Melvilles are trying to raise $ 5 0,0 0 0 t h roug h t he Children's Organ Transpla nt Association, or COTA. T he money is on ly used for medical costs or family expenses at time of transplants. As of last Thursday, “Team Wesley M” had only raised $12,757, said Elizabeth. But the family is grateful for every single penny, if it means giving Wesley a long and prosperous life. E l i z a b et h s a id s he already considers “Sir Wesley” her hero. “If I go under surgery, I’ll think of Wesley and be brave,” she said. “He is my little dragon slayer. I truly draw strength from him most days.” A nyone w ish i ng to donate to Wesley’s medical funds, can visit www. cota.org/campaigns/ cotaforteamwesleym. People can also follow Wesley’s story on Instagram @Wesley B A Slayer.

And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not : for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. he that rejected me, and receiveth not my words, has one that judges him : the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. “ John 12: 46-48 American Must Stand With Israel!

Public safety shares food and fellowship Record turnout for annual Public Safety Appreciation Luncheon
BY CLAY NEELY
clay@newnan.com For the second time, hu nd reds of members from Coweta Cou nty’s numerous city and c o u n t y p u bl i c s a fe t y depa r t ments gat hered together. But this time, it was under much happier circumstances. It was a record turnout for the 20th annual Public Safety Appreciation Luncheon, held at the Coweta County Fairgrounds on T hursday, according to organizer Norma Haynes. The annual event carried a slightly more significant tone this year, coming off a highly tense weekend that drew the eyes of the world upon the city of Newnan and Coweta County. Nearly every member of public safety participated during last weekend’s politically charged rally that saw hundreds of protesters gathered in downtown Newnan. The city escaped the highly emotional event with a little less tha n a dozen arrests and no property damage. Officials cited the success of 42 different agencies working together for a common goal – keeping the public safe. Haynes, who heads the New n a n- Coweta P ub lic Sa fet y Com m ittee, said she always enjoys the annual luncheon, but felt this year’s event was timed perfectly. “It was overwhelming,” she said. “It was a day of celebration because we’re so blessed to have the dedicated people we have serving in all areas
of public sa fet y. Having the ability for them to come toget her a nd enjoy each other's company today was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.” T he a n nua l event wa s orga n i zed by t he Newnan-Coweta Public Safety Committee members, and the luncheon was free and open to all divisions of public safety – including law enforcement, fire departments, emergency medical services and the court system. The meal was provided by Warden Bill McKenzie with the Coweta County Prison, and a long table covered in every kind of dessert imaginable was a l so ava i l able t h a n k s to m a ny g iv i n g lo c a l Coweta residents. “This year, we needed three extra tables to fit all the deserts,” Haynes said. Coweta 91 1 Director Jay Jones said the event is always a morale boost for those in public safety. Having served in a number of public safety roles during the course of his career, he said it’s a great way to honor those who don’t seek the spotlight. “ We’re i n t h is business because it’s a calling to serve your community,” Jones said “But it’s great to live in a community where the public supports us. It was very apparent last week.” Jones sa id as t he county keeps growing, t he nu mber of publ ic safety personnel mirrors that trend, so the ability to sit down and enjoy fellowship with fellow firstresponders is a blessing. “ We c u r rent ly h ave

around 850 members on our radio system, and that doesn’t include everyone,” he said. “But you could tell from the event today how much we’re growing. There wasn’t an empty seat there and that doesn’t include the ones who couldn’t make it.” Major Ma rk Fenninger with the Coweta County Sheriff ’s Office said such an outpouring of local support for law enforcement isn’t a common commodity in many communities. “For years law enforce-

ment has been bashed, but if they had the same support that we see in our community, it really makes your speechless,” Fenninger said. “It makes your heart feel special and we’re very gracious for what we get.” Haynes was honored for her unoff icial role as the “mother of publ ic sa fet y ” i n Coweta County, but she said it’s the hard work of the Public Safety Committee that makes the event such a success. “I couldn’t do any of
this without their help and support,” she said. The Newnan-Coweta Public Safety Foundation was formed in an effort to bring awareness to the com mu n it y rega rd i ng the hard work that first responders do in Coweta County. As public safety agencies are trying to work more with less, the foundation also helps raise money to purchase necessa r y item s for bot h police and f ire departments that isn’t in their budgets.
Last year, the group raised more than $30,000, which helped fund a multitude of projects a nd support for those serving in public safety across the county, including CPR monitors, tourniquets for patrol, headsets for communication officers and training mannequins. Along with purchasing equipment for first responders, the group has also raised money for scholarships and helping financially strapped public safety personnel.
