Saving Haiti’s children

NEWNAN RESIDENT SHELBY MCNEIL USES HER NEW BOOK TO BRING BRIGHTER FUTURES FOR HAITIAN ORPHANS BY MELANIE RUBERTI

melanie@newnan.com When a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the island nation of Haiti Jan. 12, 2010, between 220,000 – 300,000 people lost their lives in an instant. Thousands more were hurt, including young children who suddenly became orphans. Shelby McNeil, now 21, was familiar with helping out pover t y- s t r ic ken t h i rd-world countries, especially in South America. From a young age, McNeil, along with her parents Patrick and Julie McNeil of Rockmart, had a heart for mission work. The trio traveled the world to help those in need, especially children. “I went on my first trip to Peru and was hooked on missionary work after that,” McNeil said. But the Newnan resident was not prepared for what she saw after her plane landed in PortAu-Prince, Haiti, in 2015. McNeil and her parents were on a medical mission trip in Titanyen. It was clear the country was still in crisis five years

after the earthquake, McNeil remembered. “As we were being driven to the missionary compound, we passed a dirt field that was used as a mass graveyard to bury those who died in the earthquake,” she said. “There were ‘tent cities’ everywhere. People still didn’t have homes and were selling their goods on the side of the road. “Our translator told us Haiti still looks like the earthquake just happened,” McNeil added. “The country still needs help … there’s been little progress to rebuild at all.” While working on a compound in Titanyen, the family met Robenson Pierre and his wife Kelly, who lost funding for their orphanage after the earthquake. The couple told the McNeils they were not sure where most of the children ended up, but they knew two children had passed away. Despite their anguish, Robenson Pierre told Patrick McNeil

City council denies rezoning request BY CLAY NEELY

clay@newnan.com Grei son Tra i l re sidents concerned about the possibility of more affordable housing in their corridor received a break from Newnan City Council. Monday evening, the council unanimously denied a rezoning request on behalf of developer Mark White that would have allowed t he constr uction of a 96-unit affordable housing complex. L a s t J u l y, W h i t e applied to change the zoning on the 19.85-acre tract for the development of Brookside At McIntosh – a 96 -unit, townhouse-style apartment complex at the corner of Greison Trail and McIntosh Parkway. The complex would have been built on the sout hwest por t ion of the property, while the other three tracts would be donated by White for the city’s LINC project. The property is current ly z one d RU-2 (townhouse residential dwelling district). White sought to change it to RML (residential multiple-family dwelling) since the site topography would make it difficult to create a townhouse development. I n a n ei g h b orh o o d meeting conducted May 23, White met with several nearby homeowners to get their thoughts on the complex. W h ite pre s e nte d a greenspace concept in the middle, showcased a playground and commu n it y bu i ld i n g a nd agreed to extend a buffer a rou nd t he prop erty running 60 to 100 feet in depth, along with no rear entrance to the units. Councilmember

George Alexander asked White why he chose the Greison Tra il a rea to develop the proposed apartment complex. " We d o a f fo rd a bl e and tax credit housing,” White said. “So we’re looking for properties we think will be a good f it . We’ve a l so m ade concessions based on input.” Brown’s Ridge homeow ner E l i zabet h R ay spoke to council regarding the concerns shared by her family and other residents – staying they’re not against affordable housing, but concer ned why t hei r corridor seems to attract so much. “ We’re pro -g row t h , but saturated with a f ford a ble h o u s i n g ,” she said. “There are 506 units in our area and this is another set of 96 units. Affordable housing isn’t the problem – but when it’s concentrated in one area, that’s when crime rises.” Shari Harrington, who lives on Brown’s Ridge Drive, said she loves her neig hborhood , but i s concerned an additional 96 units will even further burden the school bus system – stating her middle school daughter’s bus ride home is already an hour and a half. “We’re all for growth and diversity - just look out ou r com mu n it y but we’re against taking the brunt end.” she said. “(White) donates three tracts of land and gets the write-off while we get the problem.” A lexa nder made a mot ion to deny t he rezoning based on the continued clustering of affordable housing in the area and the nega-

THE HOUSE WITH THE CLOCK IN ITS WALLS

PHOTO BY SARAH CAMPBELL

George Alexander enjoyed having his home on Greenville Street for the filming of “The House with the Clock in its Walls.”

Living on a movie set ‘a lot of fun’ BY SARAH FAY CAMPBELL sarah@newnan.com When George and Pam Alexander go to see “The House with the Clock in its Walls,” they’ll see their home on the big screen – as more than one house. The Alexander home on Greenville Street was used extensively for filming of the movie, based on the spooky children’s book of the same name. “It was a lot of fun, it really was,” said Alexander, who serves on the Newnan City Council and has lived in the house 32 years. Sta r r i ng Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, “The House with the Clock in its Walls” opened Friday. It’s received mixed, though mostly positive, reviews. Some reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes say it’s destined to become a Halloween classic. T he stor y fol lows recently orphaned Lewis Barnavelt, who goes to live with his uncle Jonathan

(Black), who turns out to be a warlock. His uncle lives in a strange house with a ticking heart. The clock was placed by the home’s former resident, the sinister warlock Isaac Izard. Things go awry when Lewis, attempting to impress a popular kid at school, accidentally raises Izard from the dead. It’s directed by Eli Roth, better known for gory movies such as “Hostel” and “Cabin Fever." Newnan features promi nent ly i n t he mov ie. Downtown was transformed into a 1950s version of itself. Young Lewis plays basketball at the Wesley Street gym, and one of Newnan’s most recognizable homes, the Second-Empire style ParottCamp-Soucy House on Greenville Street, is the titular house. Though extensive filming took place outside the house, which got a black paint job for the movie, the interior scenes were filmed in a studio,

Alexander said. The outside and foyer of Alexander’s home – directly across the street from the Soucy House – was used at the home for a nosy neighbor. Other parts of the house got an extensive purple paint job to become the home of Cate Blanchett’s character, the witch Mrs. Zimmerman. Upstairs bedrooms were used for another scene. And the Alexander’s family room was where Roth, the producer and other staff watched things progress. His home was chosen by chance one day, when location scouts were out looking around the Soucy house. “They knew they were going to sweep my house in the filming and so they needed to get my permission,” he said. The home’s front curtains were being washed, so the scouts were able to see inside the house.

They liked it, and came by another time when someone was home. A lex a nder s a id t he producers offered to put them up in a hotel during the time the home was used for filming. But they decided to stay put. “I said, ‘If you put me up somewhere, I’m just going to get up early and come over here,’” he said. Filming usually didn’t start until around 5 p.m., and they would film until 4 or 5 in the morning. “I would stay up and sit in the back, behind the producer and director and watch what they were doing until about 2 or 3 in the morning,” he said. Before the filming, there was a lot of work and a lot of changes. The house got a new exterior paint job – from peach to yellow – and many rooms were repainted inside.

continued from page 1

he still felt called to open a new orphanage in the town of Cabaret, but he had no funding and no investors. McNeil said the Pierre’s story lit a spark in their family’s heart. It ’s a stor y McNei l shares in greater detail in her first book, “Go With Grace.” The book delves into the partnership with the Pierre family, and the then-newly formed nonprofit organization Grace Children’s home, which is also the name of the Haitian orphanage the group eventually opened in 2016. That spring, 12 orphans between the ages of 2 and 12 years old had a new place to call home in Cabaret. The new orphanage

was both a blessing and a challenge, McNeil wrote. “We started in a tiny bu i ld i ng i n 2016 a nd had little to no money. We thought it would be impossible to keep the orphanage open,” she said. “But every time we had to pay a bill, the money would suddenly show up. “That’s how we know that God’s in this with us,” McNeil added. “We know the orphanage and nonprofit organization will continue to move forward – and that’s encouraging.” In addition to working at The Newnan TimesHerald as a customer service representative, McNeil is active in Grace Church Home organization and in the orphanage. She travels to the area

at least twice a year and shares her experiences with the children in her book – the good and the bad. “We provide everything for the children – food, clothing and education. Haitian children have to pay for their education or else they’re not allowed to go to school at all. Most of our kids don’t have parents or guardians who can take care of them,” McNeil explained. “We have children with birth defects who were given up for adoption. We’ve had babies left on the orphanage doorstep. We had a 1-year-old infant brought to us who only weighed 12 pounds. “You can’t say no to these children,” McNeil continued. “If you say no,

you know what’s going to happen. They’re not going to make it.” The Pierres stay with the children full time at the orphanage, along with three staff members. Currently, the Grace Children’s Home has 17 orphans and desperately needs to expand, McNeil said. The need to grow and develop the orphanage is one reason McNeil wrote “Go With Grace.” Proceeds from the book will go the Grace Children’s Home. While some of the organization’s prayers and needs have been met, others have not, she said. “ T h e H a it i a n g overnment has given us six acres to build on in a nearby town called

Archaie,” McNeil said. “It’s been surveyed, but we’re waiting to build. It’s expensive to build in Haiti and there’s procedures you have to follow. First, we have to build concrete walls around the compound and that’s a $40,000 project. “We want to be self-sufficient. We want to be able to build a new orphanage and other facilities and farm on our own land,” McNeil continued. “We want more of the donations to go towards the children and not just keep the orphanage afloat.” McNeil said she hopes the book opens people’s hearts to Haiti and the orphans who have been given a second chance at life to hopefully exact positive change in the island

nation in the future. “I would love to get more people involved who live in the surrounding community,” she said. “I want people to build relationships with these children and love them as much as I do. I’m in it for the long haul,” McNeil continued. “There’s not a lot of opportunities where you can donate and see firsthand the direct impact you made on a person and watch them grow. The kids love their sponsors and they value what they’re given because they know they wouldn’t have those things without the help of total strangers.” McNei l sa id Grace Children’s Home plans to begin construction on their new site in early 2019.

repairs. “They were so good to me,” Alexander said. “They redid my yard and compensated me very well. The good Lord blessed my wife and me. He really did. And it was fun to work with them." The actors were pleasant, too. “Jack Black was great,” Alexander said. “Cate Blanchett and some of the others were very nice. They would come up and talk to us. We’d just kind of sit back in the back and maintain a low profile." It was a great experience, but you have to be flexible, Alexander said. If he had sma ll ch i ldren, it would have been impossible. The experience gave Alexander a first-person view of the impacts of the film industry. “People say, ‘Oh, they just come in and film and cause problems and traf-

fic,’” he said. “I could not believe how much money they spent in our town." The paint was bought at Sherwin Williams in downtown, and other supplies were bought locally, as well, Alexander said. There were plenty of catered meals, but everyone ate in local restaurants, too. “There was a lot of money that was spent,” he said. He was surprised to see how many takes there were of each scene. Learning how many different takes and angles there are has changed the way Alexander watches movies and television. “As I watch… I started realizing – I know what they did there,” he said. If another production crew comes along, will Alexander consider opening his house up again? “In a heartbeat,” he said.

for filming was packed up and put in storage. Once filming was over, the producers were ready to put things back exactly like they were – but the Alexanders liked some of the changes. “I came home one day and it was this beautiful yellow. They said, ‘We’ll return it back to peach.’ And I said – leave it,” Alexander said. They left furniture on the front porch, and the Alexanders love it. They liked the purple stencils used in the dining room, too, but they had to be removed because they weren’t meant to be permanent. There was a lot of attention to detail, he said. The movie is set in the 1950s. An American flag with 48 stars was hung, and boxes were made to cover the thermostats on the wall. Crews also did a few
