Fayette marches for change

MICHAEL CLIFTON | KOMBATKAMERA.COM

Around 2,000 people marched Saturday to protest the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. The very enthusiastic and peaceful marchers walked more than two and a half miles in temperatures that reached the high 80s.

‘We wanted to let our voice be heard in our community’

BY JOHN THOMPSON & CHRISTOPHER DUNN As the world turns its eyes to America with protests against racial injustice and police brutality filling cities across the county, many in Fayette County are speaking out and marching for their neighbors with local demonstrations joining calls for action around the globe.

On a warm spring evening in Peachtree City, more than 400 people turned out to peacefully protest the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Floyd’s death at the hands of policemen have led to protests in all 50 states.

Some of the protests have led to violence and looting, but the June 2 rallies in Fayette County only saw people wanting to express their views.

In Peachtree City, people marched from the Avenue shopping center to the city’s library (for more on the protest in PTC, read Paige Groome’s story on page A6). Two lanes of eastbound Ga.

Chants echoed throughout the crowd of ‘You are not alone’ and ‘We are a force.’

Highway 54 were blocked off to allow the protesters to march, and the march featured Peachtree City Police Chief Janet Moon leading the crowd.

“She got a huge round of applause,” said Fayette County Sheriff Barry Babb.

When the crowd assembled around the fountain near City Hall, speaker after speaker outlined a vision of how the country needs to change. The event was sponsored by Black Lives Matter, and the crowd, while mostly white, represented a rainbow of ethnicities.

Fayette County Commissioner Charles Rousseau explained he understood the crowd’s frustrations with government response, and he would help them seek change.

One speaker, who emphasized his Christianity, said Jesus would just do more than pray and look for a way to listen to the people.

Chants echoed throughout the crowd of “You are not alone” and “We are a force.”

Across the county in front of the old courthouse in Fayetteville, Sheriff Babb said another peaceful protest was also occurring.

Babb said the protest was organized by high school students and had approximately 50 people with no issues reported.

As residents started streaming out of what was the largest protest in Peachtree City in years, the sun started setting and the city’s famous golf cart paths were filled with families carrying their signs from the demonstration into a peaceful June night and headed home.

The momentum swelled with a massive protest on Saturday, June 6.

City’s July 4th celebration moved to Labor Day Another social casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic was announced June 1 when Peachtree City Mayor Vanessa Fleisch announced that the Fourth of July parade and fireworks will be postponed until Labor Day due to concerns for residents. The celebration is the city’s biggest and featured Peachtree City’s signature golf carts festooned for July 4 and parading. The news was not popular on social media.

“While I understand the decision, this surprises me. Has anyone been to Lake Peachtree on a weekend evening around 7 p.m.?” wrote Tracy Hawley Florczak on Facebook.

The July 2 meeting will also represent the first presentation of the city’s proposed 2021 budget.

During the Fayette County Board of Education’s June 1 meeting, Superintendent Dr. Jody Barrow outlined critical points to the county’s draft school re-entry framework for the fall 2020 semester. The plans revolve around achieving safety and fluidity for parents, students, and educational staff. Dr. Barrow emphasized his commitment to maintaining flexibility for individual decision-making among parents and staffers, while also keeping strategies cost-effective.

Along with virtual learning options, the county is also working on implementing opportunities for face-to-face learning, referred to as “brick and mortar” learning, which will likely include modified schedule hours. These measures

Alternative program rebrands to Fayette LIFE Academy

BY PAIGE GROOME

Looking to recruit students from the private and homeschool market, the Fayette County Alternative Program announced its rebranding strategy at the June 1 Fayette County Board of Education meeting.

Composed of Horizon Academy, Open Campus Academy, and most recently, Fayette Virtual Academy, Fayette County’s Alternative Program

provides flexible learning opportunities outside of a traditional classroom setting. Seeking to undo the negative stigma surrounding the word “alternative,” the Fayette County Alternative Program hopes to shift perception of the academies through its rebrand to Fayette LIFE Academy.

School System Public Information Officer Melinda Berry-Dreisbach underscored the name and logo develop-

ment process. Wanting to choose a word that embodied the mission of the three academies, a survey was sent to 63 students, parents, staff,

and community partners invested in the program.

Participants then submitted words they thought resonated with the academy’s overall mission of personal and academic development. From the submissions grew the idea for LIFE: Limitless Innovative Flexible Education. Through the name change, the academies are able to further market themselves as institutions pioneering educational development beyond the

typical classroom.

The new logo takes care to mirror that of the school system, as seen with its diamond shape.

The navy blue emboldening the base of the logo is the same blue built into the system’s logo. Navy blue stands for trust; in this case, the trust parents and their children have in Fayette County’s commitment to quality education. The word “IF” also pops out from the design. As Berry-Dreisbach

Legislative session to resume June 15

BY BEAU EVANS CAPITOL BEAT NEWS SERVICE

Georgia lawmakers are set to reconvene the 2020 legislative session on June 15, roughly three months after the General Assembly hit pause due to mounting concerns over coronavirus.

In a memo Wednesday, Georgia House Speaker David Ralston, R-Blue

Ridge, agreed with Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan to resume the session on Monday, June 15. The two chamber leaders then formally signed a resolution to resume on that date.

The decision comes as lawmakers began work last week on crafting a budget for the 2021 fiscal year, which is poised for significant cuts due to the economic slowdown

prompted by the coronavirus pandemic. The General Assembly has until July 1 to pass the budget.

The resumption of the session also comes as businesses continue reopening after weeks of closures that started in late March as the virus spread in Georgia, sickening thousands of people including several state lawmakers.

The US Census Bureau released updated population estimates and Peachtree City is leading the increase in Fayette County.

The figures are for the estimated population for July 1, 2019. These are the figures currently available, and differ from the ongoing Census 2020 count that is currently being conducted and will be released next year.

The census pegs Peachtree City’s population at 36,223, an increase of 526 since the estimated 2018 population.

The county’s seat, Fayetteville grew from 17,773 to 17,993. Tyrone added 137 residents for an estimated population of 7,506 and Brooks added four residents for a population of 559. The county’s smallest hamlet, Woolsey, grew from 164 to 167.

In eastern Coweta County, Senoia continued its population increase from 4,344 to 4,412, while Sharpsburg went from 363 to 361.

The U.S. census counts each resident of the country, where they live on April 1, every 10 years ending in zero. The Constitution mandates the enumeration to determine how to apportion the House of Representatives among the states. The figures are also used to help in appropriating federal funds to local governments.

conveyed to the board, “‘If’ means possibilities.”

Highlighting the word “IF” in the additional blues found in the school system’s logo embodies the ideas of growth and intellect.

Furthermore, the notches from the “F” and the “E” are meant to resemble the notches in a “key,” representing that Fayette LIFE Academy provides the “key” to setting students up for a successful future.

Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said that Atlanta’s unemployment rate spiked in April, breaking its previous all-time high of 10.6 percent set in February of 2010.

Driving around Fayette County, the signs of some businesses opening have appeared, but many still remain shuttered.

“Although we are seeing all-time high unemployment rates across a majority of the state, we are continuing to work with employers on effective strategies to get Georgians back to work in both a safe and economically efficient way,” said Butler in his report.

In the Atlanta region, the unemployment rate increased 8.3 percentage points in April, reaching 12.7 percent.

A year ago, the rate was 3 percent.

The number of unemployment claims went up by 324 percent in April, which directly correlated with the number of temporary and potentially permanent lay-offs associated with COVID-19, the report said.

Atlanta ended April with 2,561,600 jobs. That number decreased by 293,800 from March to April and was down by 267,200 when compared to this time last year.

BOE sets dates for 2021 budget hearings The Fayette County Board of Education will hold two public comment sessions for the proposed 2021 fiscal year budget at its regular monthly meetings scheduled for June 15 and July 20, both starting at 7 p.m.

Due to social distancing requirements, the June 15 board meeting will be held in a virtual format and live streamed on the school system’s website, www.fcboe.org. Public comments can be made using “Procedures for Public Comment During FCBOE Virtual Board Meetings” found on the school system’s website. Click on the “Board of Ed” tab at the top and then select “Board Meeting Schedule” from the menu.

Protocols for the July 20 meeting will be determined closer to the date based on the State of Georgia social distancing requirements and guidance.

Unemployment reaches historic level in state The May 28 unemployment report delivered by the Department of Labor brought sobering news to the Atlanta region.

classroom in order to help parents go back to work. Students in critical transition grades (rising 6th and rising 9th graders), along with students requiring special education, are also receiving careful consideration in regards to face-to-face learning.

All Fayette County school re-entry decisions are to be aligned with CDC Guidelines, Department of Public Health regulations, and state Executive Orders.

On June 1, The Georgia Department of Education released guidance for a “Path to Recovery for K-12 Schools.” According to the news release, “The guidance, which was developed in partnership with Georgia public health authorities, is intended to help local school systems and communities make plans for reopening schools in the fall following this spring’s COVID-19 closures.”

Ultimately, decisions are dependent on incoming survey and information requests that will be sent out to parents

and school staff members. Officials must consider the number of students wanting to return to brick-and-mortar schooling, as well as the number of staff members available to teach in order to effectively craft safety protocols.

Multiple task forces have been launched to begin drafting re-opening decisions, which will continue heavily throughout the month of June. Dr. Barrow also emphasized his sensitivity to providing information in a timely manner in order to give parents and staffers adequate time to prepare.

Despite the challenges ahead, Dr. Barrow reiterated that he was “very confident with the teams we have working” and foresees the Fayette County school system crafting a successful transitional plan. Multiple strategies for a variety of outcomes will be crafted over the next several weeks, and parents and staffers can expect incoming survey platforms in which to voice their opinions and intentions.

It grieves me

| YOUR VIEW |

t will probably be a very short time before both Bill and I will give up the life force which we have enjoyed for nearly 80 years on God’s Green Earth. Over 58 of those years have been spent together. We have shared much happiness, some sadness and difficulties, a few tragedies, and many, many losses of those we knew and loved.

As we look into what little future we have left together (that is just realistic), I wonder how one or the other of us will cope with such a great loss. How can I or he possibly manage to live alone?

Will I be terrified to live in this big house scared of my own shadLYNN ow and of things that go bump in HORTON the night? Will he be able to care for himself? Who will bring his coffee? Prepare his meals? Tuck him in at night?

There is no advantage in worrying. Other than being prepared, there is little anyone can do.

Aside from a will, funeral plans, a trusted financial manager, and a fortune teller, we are at the mercy of God. Always the optimist, I believe Good Will Out, there is a solution to everything, that God is in control, and that He is love!

I do spend time lately, however, thinking about grief and loss. The coronavirus pandemic has created a situation and environment where grief is compounded exponentially! Where a husband cannot stay at the bedside of his wife who just had a stroke. Where families stand outside windows or glass doors, peering in, sometimes for the last time at those they love but cannot hold in their arms, could not kiss with a parting promise of “I love you.” How can one grieve properly when you cannot plan a funeral for a loved one, when you cannot gather in your church to share the grief; when you cannot wrap your arms around others whom you love but are now separated from by restrictions? You cannot even shake hands with your sweet Minister. How can one grieve “virtually,” or at a gravesite with others who have come to mourn and share your loss but are restricted by “social distancing”?

Sadly, the tradition and the rituals for grieving have been taken from us, just as the lives of thousands have been eliminated by the silent killer, COVID-19. Rabbi Earl Grolman puts it beautifully, “Because death ends a life – the death never ends a relationship, and customs and ceremonials and rituals help us to get in touch with the past … the past still travels with us … and what it has been makes us what we are.” We are changed by grief and will never be the same person when we have experienced a deep loss. But today, grief is a burden many must often bear alone.

This virus which took us by surprise, that shook our nation to its roots, has killed, I believe statistics show, more people than 9/11 or the Vietnam War. And now there is another perhaps greater grief placed upon the citizens of this country by those who have chosen to destroy the places of business, of worship, of iconic landmarks.

Just weeks ago we celebrated the lives of those who died fighting for this country, but today some have defaced the very monuments that stand in memory of those WWII soldiers.

I am not ignorant to the fact that there are thousands of well-meaning citizens of all ages, walking, marching to protest police brutality, to call for an awareness of inequality among the races. I pray that they are allowed to do so, but peacefully. I am also aware that statistics show that the number of incidents of police brutality have been greatly reduced since the Ferguson riots. Progress. Yet some scream “genocide!” Hardly! In 2015 there were 10 black men killed by policemen. Ten! Out of a population of 327 million. Forty-eight policemen were murdered. (The Washington Post) I believe four of the policemen were charged with murder or manslaughter. That looks like progress to me. Yes, even one death is too many, and there is certainly room for more improvement; the police themselves have been calling for better training and equipment to replace things like “rubber bullets.” There will always be a small number on any force whose behavior shows they are not fit to be a policeman. We must work harder to weed them out. We would hope they would police themselves.

But I am most grieved by those infiltrators, rioters not protesters. The wild-eyed, smirking faces of anarchy who have devastated our cities, broken windows, smashed cars, smeared filthy graffiti, stolen goods from local stores as well as beaten old ladies, and shot policemen. Show me they are motivated by anything but greed and a warped view of power. These gangs of thugs don’t care about the retired black police captain they killed while he protected a small business, or those of their own race who have worked hard, built a family and a business (often in the community they wreak havoc upon) only to have it destroyed in one fell swoop by masked “demonstrators” armed with hammers, bottles, guns, and hate.

recently. In WW2 everyone participated in the effort. We won by outworking the enemy, and having numerous USO dances and mixers. By the 70’s we decided we only wanted to fight wars by referendum. The domestic undermining by means of foamboard, Sharpies, and clever chants was too much for the soldiers to overcome.

Eventually we got to the point where we were fighting wars that are hardly acknowledged and rarely on the news.

Our current sacrifice is to thank the military for its service — they hate that by the way.

In the 90s we were told of the “invisible enemy” with regard to the war on terror. Very little we could do to help there. Then came a cyberwar which started to affect people in greater numbers with ubiquitous front lines.

ust when I thought I might be losing my funny bone because of my self-induced isolation and not getting out much to seek or cause chaos, I left my home with my secure homemade mask (made of staples, rubber bands, and recommended canvas cloth, which I will gladly make for you for 99 cents), to get my car tag registered LEE for this year. Outside, ST. JOHN the courthouse was lined with people for the same reason. I was told I had a 20-minute wait.

Watching people walk up a ramp and in another door labeled VOTING, I figured I had time to vote. One of the outside helpers managing the lines overheard me say to Hubby that, while at the courthouse, I could probably vote, too, and encouraged me with my wait time to go ahead. I did.

Showing my driver’s license identification verifying my likeness and proof of residence, I walked right in.

Once inside, I again submitted all my proof of identify and was given my little green card to insert into the voting machine.

There were three machines operating instead of the normal six to

provide the six feet of separation between voters. Inserting the card, I began voting. Easy peasy, and I still had 14 minutes before walking into the tag office.

I hadn’t experienced the print out ballot before. Is this new? Was it implemented because of possible voter fraud? Did it verify the voter with a print out? The printer whirred as I watched the piece of paper scroll out.

When it was about three-fourths done, I started to manually pull the piece of paper out when it would not let me and rolled backwards into the machine. And there it stuck.

You know the joke, “How many people does it take to retrieve a piece of paper from a printer?” The answer?

Three. Well, maybe four. There was a supervisor supervising. One assessed the situation. Another came with a key to unlock something or other on the printer. The last one was like an IT guy except he was knowledgeable about printers. However, he had to decipher another unused printer to make sure he was solving this problem correctly. It was a mess.

Chick-fil-A CEO calls for businesses to get more involved in race issues Fayette County’s Dan Cathy, the CEO of Chick-fil-A, issued a rare statement June 3 about corporate involvement in a long statement on LinkedIn outlining his views on social issues. “‘I am tired.’ I’ve heard this phrase too many times in my private conversations with black friends and colleagues, in the last 72 hours. What I have come to understand is that they are tired of the violence, abuse and injustice. They are tired, because no amount of kneeling or marching seems to truly address what has ailed our country for generations: A controverted view of race which is sometimes overt and sometimes subtle but always destructive,” Cathy wrote.

Cathy said that someone in his position cannot fully appreciate and understand the gross injustices that are in society.

“I also recognize that talking about the system-

ic inequality, bias, and injustices in our country will draw criticism. But neither of these reasons makes it OK for me to remain silent about the issues that now so publicly confront our nation. The Cathy killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and many others is horrifying and merits our outrage. We should also address the disparate impact of COVID-19 on black and brown communities, as well as the disparity in educational opportunities and access to opportunity,” Cathy said.

He said there are countless academics and analysts who have written about how our democratic capitalism benefits only a few hundred incredibly wealthy families, individuals and corporations, so that the American Dream is now reserved almost

exclusively for them and their descendants.

“A few years ago, I became bothered that the most distressed zip code in Georgia, right next door to the prosperity of downtown Atlanta, was being left behind. So, I committed to use my own power and influence with policy-makers and friends to turn their attention to the inequities happening in our local community. Together, we bolstered our financial investments in the redevelopment of the Westside of Atlanta, the historic home of Dr. King. The work is ongoing. We have opened a Chick-fil-A restaurant on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the shadows of Morehouse College. The store is led by owner-operator Quincy Springs, a black Army veteran.

Cathy listed several ways to improve the situation: • Starting the process at home. “This is where values begin. We must

teach our children about leadership, love and justice,” he said.

• Using influence in businesses to be responsible capitalists who meet the needs of society.

• Influencing so that all of our communities can participate in the rising tide of prosperity and hope.

• Having intentional, difficult conversations with co-workers and strangers.

“We need to be curious to understand the needs of others. It’s OK to say, ‘I’m not sure I’m saying the right things right now.’ A lot of people don’t engage in hard conversations, because they’re afraid they’ll say something wrong. A dialogue is better than no conversation at all,” he said.

He closed his comments with a clarion call to action.

“Let’s be moved to action. Let’s join together to build a world that reflects God’s love for all of us.”

| THIS WEEK IN FAYETTE COUNTY HISTORY | As we surge full speed ahead into the future, the Fayette County Historical Society has their sights on the past. Ramping up preparations to celebrate Fayette County’s coming bicentennial in 2021, the Fayette County Historical Society will present interesting tidbits from the past from the last 200 years.

June 5, 1906 G.S. McGough & Russell McGough killed by lightning At about 6:30 p.m. a bolt of lightning hit the veranda and went through the home of Judge and Mrs. B.L. McGough on Railroad Street. Glen S. McGough, aged 23 and his nephew Russell, aged 13 were both struck and thrown to the floor dead. Harry, the brother of Russell was also at the scene, but unhurt.

The bolt went about the house, splitting a post on the veranda, the bedstead and dresser in the front room was struck and split, and another bedstead was split at the headboard and footboard. Misses. Lizzie and Gladys McGough and Bessie Smith who were in the bedrooms were not hurt.

Glen and Russell are buried side by side at the Historic Cemetery of Fayetteville.

Ware’s Mill, Greer’s Mill, Russell’s Mill, Leech’s Mill and Tinsley’s Mill. In the 1870 census, it was known as Leach’s Mill, ground corn only and was owned by E.W. Leach.

The mill was in what is now Peachtree City and near what today is the 12th green of the Flat Creek Golf Course. The mill was powered by Flat Creek, had a horsepower of 40 and could grind 40 bushels daily. It employed one person with wages of $200 per year.

The mill was originally built by George Ware. He also owned a woolen mill across the creek that produced socks. There was also a cotton gin and a government licensed distillery that produced peach brandy. In 1910 Mr. Leach sold the mill to the Russel Brothers, Charles, Frank, Will and Bo. They rebuilt the mill which had been allowed to rundown, “Doc” Tinsley bought the mill in 1936. The dam washed out later in 1936 and the mill was operated by gasoline powered motors until 1960 when Tinsley sold the property to Phillips-Harrington Land Company. The mill later burned down.

Georgia Power service shutoffs to resume mid-July

BY BEAU EVANS CAPITOL BEAT NEWS SERVICE

Georgia Power and Atlanta Gas Light are poised to resume shutting off service in July for customers who do not pay their bills following months of abstaining from disconnections during the coronavirus pandemic.

The two energy companies, which provide gas and electricity to millions of Georgians, pushed pause on service disconnections March 14 as Gov. Brian Kemp placed the state under a public health emergency stemming from the pandemic.

Georgia Power will be able to resume service shutoffs for delinquent payments on July 15, giving customers some time to work with the company on possible alternative-payment plans. Atlanta Gas Light marketers can resume

service shutoffs on July 1.

Those dates were approved Tuesday by the Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities in the state.

Commissioners also backed letting Georgia Power seek to recoup lost costs from the shutoff moratorium in future negotiations over rate changes.

John Kraft, a spokesman for Georgia Power, said the company is working on giving residential and business customers the option of installment payment plans to cover

their bills amid the pandemic.

“Once finalized, Georgia Power will be communicating directly with customers to help make arrangements for these special installment payment plans,” Kraft said.

The two energy providers, which are both subsidiaries of the regional power provider, Southern Company, were among dozens of utilities across the state that pressed pause on penalizing customers amid the pandemic. The virus-induced social distancing and economic slowdown has prompted roughly 2 million Georgians to file unemployment claims since mid-March.

Some utilities are set to resume disconnecting service and collecting late fees later this month and in July. Most, however, have not set dates for ending disconnection moratoriums.

Social and business

restrictions have eased in recent weeks per orders from the governor, who is keen to jumpstart the state’s struggling economy in the face of billions of dollars in lost tax revenues since March.

The shutoff resumption follows Georgia Power’s decision last week to reduce fuel rates by about 17 percent over the next two years, saving customers $5.32 on their average monthly bills. Additionally, a special interim reduction on fuel rates this summer will lower the typical customer’s bill by $10.26 per month through September. The PSC-approved decision resulted from lower prices driven by increased natural gas supply.

Georgia Power, which is the state’s largest energy provider, previously gained PSC approval last December to raise its basic service fee for residential customer from $10 to $14 a month through 2022.

ATLANTA — Citing “reassuring signs of fiscal resilience” in Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp announced Wednesday that cuts to next year’s state budget won’t be as deep as originally feared.

In a video message, Kemp notified state agency heads and legislative leaders he is preparing an updated revenue estimate that will call for 11 percent across-the-board spending reductions in the coming fiscal year rather than the 14 percent cuts originally anticipated.

The new revenue projections reflect expectations the coronavirus pandemic will have somewhat less of an economic impact on Georgia’s economy than had been predicted when the 14 percent cuts were ordered.

“Our state is positioned to weather this storm better than most,” Kemp said. “I’m hopeful our state will be able to avoid the draconian cuts and measures many others across the country will be forced to make.”

State senators holding budget hearings since last week have been confronted with the difficult choice between furloughing teachers and state employees or keeping them on the job

at reduced pay.

Kemp said Wednesday the pandemic has highlighted the importance of teachers, health-care workers and others on the front line of fighting COVID-19.

He pledged to make education, health care and public safety top priorities even as agency heads and lawmakers grapple with tough decisions on how to balance the state’s needs with declining tax revenues.

The General Assembly, which was suspended in mid-March by the coronavirus outbreak, will reconvene June 15, with passing the fiscal 2021 state budget as its top priority.

GRIEVES: ‘Family’ FROM PAGE A3

Could it be that so much of the chaos in our cities may be a result to the destruction of the black family over a period of only 50 years? It grieves me to learn that over 75 percent of black babies today are born out of wedlock. “Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote in 1965 on the coming destruction of the black family, the out-of-wedlock birth rate was 25 percent among blacks (The Moynihan Report). In 1991, 68 percent of black children were born outside of marriage. In 2011, 72 percent of black babies were born to unmarried mothers. In 2015, 77 percent of black babies were born to unmarried mothers.” Sociologists have agreed for years on the critical importance of family.

Too simple? Not really.

I want you, dear reader, to think about this and ask “What is it that these angry young men and women really want?

What do they need?” I have seen no list, only foolish signs that demand we allow anarchy by defunding our police forces. Fire the governor or mayor or president.

And then what? My list would be that these same disenfranchised youth would take better advantage of our schools, our churches, community activities, and of job training opportunities.

My husband Bill was pulling chain for the State Highway Department 58 years ago when we married. Yeah, a starter job. I came home with bloody knuckles every day from pushing manila file folders into bulging metal file drawers. No big money. No romance. But it was a job.

We were poor, but we had family. Family.

which means we have to appreciate, respect, and support those who have different knowledge and experiences from our own.

In closing, I believe we must acknowledge the past, but more importantly move forward to abolish hate, bullying, racism, and trauma for all, but especially for those who need us the most, our children. Is that not what

all professional educators aspire to do, to make a positive difference in the lives of the children they serve? Is that not what a caring community should work towards with our most precious gift, our children? You have my personal pledge of support as we all move in this direction. I believe we can do no less!

An analysis of the state’s deaths from June 4 show 883 of the state’s 1,808 deaths are in long-care homes, while four of Fayette’s 15 deaths occurred in the facilities. In Coweta County, eight of the county’s nine

deaths come from nursing homes.

The state’s Department of Community Health said June 4 that several of the state’s long-term care facilities are experiencing coronavirus cases.

Twelve of the facilities are in Fayette and Coweta counties; Arbor Terrace in Peachtree City has two staff cases and one patient case, Ashley Glenn in Peachtree City has three patient and two staff cases, and Avalon in Newnan has 10 patient cases and two staff cases.

account then not even tip the driver!

We finally have a war we can all fight. I find it refreshing that society has finally come up with a battle that doesn’t just require the sending of men, age 18 to 35, to die alongside their friends.

Suddenly, by going back to work or leaving your house, you can partic-

ipate in the continued wealth and success of this country. Sitting at home? Thanks for nothing.

Although, maybe we as citizens would just get in the way. Are we nothing more than the helpful neighbor who rushes over to grab the other end of the sofa you’re moving only to jam your hand into a doorframe?

You can stay home, Paul.

The economy is not a euphemism for money or greed! It’s the system that allows us to snack, self-educate, sit quietly in our homes, and tolerate low-speed internet.

Abandoning the process for any amount of time is like not feeding a baby.

it became comical to me. Not to them, mind you. I still had five minutes until I was allowed into the inner sanctum of the courthouse to stand in line again for the tag office.

Trying to find the humor in the situation like Erma Bombeck would when she was quoted as saying, “If you can’t make it better, laugh at it.” I repeated these words. They did not think it was funny.

I heard one of the three involved mutter, “Why, me?” I then commented again about my mistake of pulling the paper ballot out of the machine too fast and said, “Surely someone else has done this before?” Nope. Well, in my opinion at least now they’ve had practice for future quick responders like me … but did they thank me?

Finally, as the problem was getting corrected with three minutes before they

were going to allow me to enter the tag office I said, “Well, at least should you see me on the street, you can’t identify me as the culprit because I am wearing a mask.”

Eventually, all three retreated back inside another office from whence they came and the printer scrolled out the paper I was supposed to have before leaving. And guess what I had to do with it once it was in my hands? Throw it in a shredder!

But there is a silver lining: I made it to the tag office on time where they had to take my temperature before entering and so now I know all is well.

PAIGE GROOMES

Protesters march through Peachtree City with support from community police

BY PAIGE GROOME Anyone familiar with Peachtree City is quite used to honking on Highway 54, but perhaps not cheering.

On June 2, organized via social media, a large crowd gathered at The Avenue shopping center to partake in a Black Lives Matter march routed along Highway 54 to the front of City Hall. Signs and banners waved as chants resounded with the sounds of marching feet and honking passerby. Names we’ve

come to know well – George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor – echoed throughout the crowd.

Marching alongside protesters were members of the PTC Police Department. Officers were also stationed along the route, assisting with stopping traffic and ensuring public safety. Chief of Police Janet Moon, who was among the officers in the crowd, commented that she thought it was a “wonderful thing” to witness people exercising their First Amendment rights. The PTC

Police force had first heard about the march through Twitter that same afternoon and acted quickly to organize a police presence.

Upon reaching City Hall, marchers had an opportunity to share personal testimony. Black mothers and fathers voiced daily fears felt for their children. Black youth described personal experiences with unwarranted police stops. Their words were meet with cheers and applause from the surrounding crowd. Speakers also took the opportunity to advocate activist measures through

voting, issue education, and donations to civil rights groups.

During his turn with the megaphone, Fayette County Commissioner Charles D. Rousseau voiced that he sees himself as “not a politician” but a “public servant,” fully attuned to the voices of the community. He encouraged the community to reach out to him and community leadership, to “hold [them] accountable” for equitable governing policy.

One of the march’s organizers, Emilio De la Mora, emphasized

that the younger generation “needs to show we care.” He and his fellow organizers recognize that Peachtree City, due to its many privileges, can often feel removed from societal tensions, especially those involving race.

However, he and his team wanted to create a space to recognize and condemn our nation’s racial inequity while channeling energy toward future goals of police institutional reformation, oppressive law revision, and active coordination with community leaders to instill lasting change.

CHANGE: ‘We need to get these uncomfortable conversations going’ FROM PAGE A1

Spearheaded by a quartet of local alums, Sandy Creek grads RJ Howard, Logan Bolton, and Raven Neal, and Fayette County High grad David Osilaja, an estimated group of more than 3,000 gathered at the Fayetteville Pavilion and marched to Fayetteville City Hall.

“We wanted to let our voice be heard in our community. As black youth in

the Fayette County area, we have experienced the same racial injustices in some way, so we wanted to let our voices be heard in the community to let everyone know we won’t continue to let racism plague our country, especially our community,” said Howard. “It was amazing seeing so many people united and marching for a common goal.”

Organizers, community leaders, and others spoke,

sharing messages of hope, togetherness, and a promise for positive change.

“It was important for us to have something in our own hometown because Fayetteville has definitely had incidents of racism and prejudice in the past,” said Bolton. “I graduated from Sandy Creek in 2017 and still remember how uncomfortable some of my peers felt with law enforcement as a result of the systemic oppres-

sion they’d experienced.

We wanted to be loud in our own community and demonstrate a unified front against these types of injustices.”

Bolton was encouraged by the amount of support they received.

“It was amazing to see the community rally in so many different ways.

While thousands were marching, hundreds were honking their horns in solidarity, passing out water bottles on the side of the road, and standing on the sidewalk with signs and cameras,” she said. “The organizers and I thought it was important to emphasize that this was a peaceful protest, and we were glad that there were no incidents of violence.

We didn’t want anything to detract from the message of the march.”

The protest was the brainchild of the quartet, and Fayetteville Police Chief Scott Gray, Deputy Chief Robert Mask, Fayetteville Mayor Ed

Johnson, and Mayor Eric Dial were instrumental in figuring out the logistics.

“We at the Fayetteville Police Department take pride in the relationship that we have with our community. We have and always will only see one race, the human race.

This was on full display during the march,” the Fayetteville Police Department posted on Facebook, along with photos from the march.

“We do not hide from fear, discrimination, or injustice. We will forever be on the front line with our community to support peace, faith, and unity. We will always be strong, but this makes us stronger.”

Howard said they were swarmed with offers to help before the march and with words of thanks afterwards.

The march represented the first steps on the long road to equality.

Bolton is excited to build on the positive feedback they have received, and

they are talking about additional protests and community events.

“Ultimately, we’re not done,” she said. “This was just the beginning in the fight for justice against systemic racism.”

Howard knows nothing will happen if we’re too afraid to talk.

“We have to continue the fight. A couple weeks of protesting won’t change the decades of racial injustice. I want to make sure that the younger generation knows voting brings change. I also want to have a county-wide town hall meeting where the black population in the community can express how they feel to our city officials and law enforcement,” he said. “We need to get these uncomfortable conversations going to start working towards change.”

FCHS tabs Tykira Gilbert to continue winning ways for Lady Tigers

BY CHRISTOPHER DUNN CHRISTOPHER@FAYETTE-NEWS.NET

It’s the dawn of a new era for Lady Tiger basketball.

When on-campus workouts were allowed to start June 8, the Fayette County High girls basketball team was under new leadership for the first time in 15 years.

Tykira Gilbert was officially introduced to the Tiger players, parents, and supporters in a June 3 online town hall.

“I am very excited to join the Fayette County Tiger family,” said Gilbert, who joins her husband, Mario, who was already a football coach and teacher at FCHS. Their two daughters will begin attending Spring Hill Elementary in the fall.

Gilbert has big shoes to fill from the legendary John

Strickland, who passed Dec. 29, 2019, after a battle with cancer, but she is a budding legend in her own right. In just five seasons at Spalding High, she led the Jaguars to a sterling 114-34 record with a state championship in 2018 and a runGilbert ner-up finish in 2019.

Gilbert has no intentions of letting the winning tradition on Tiger Trail slip.

“I want to continue that elite status,” she said. “Everybody that has played against me knows that my team is going to play defense every quarter.

We’re going to be known for playing defense, playing hard, and having heart and grit.”

She vows to not just win

games, but help her players grow as people.

“My vision is to excel in the classroom and on the court, and you do that by hard work and dedication and commitment to the program,” said Gilbert.

“That’s everybody. Parents, players, and the community, we need to have everybody all in.”

FCHS athletic director Bill Stikes is confident Gilbert is the right choice to fulfill the school’s motto: Excellence in all we do.

“Coach is an an outstanding leader, and she is an outstanding coach, and we are very excited for her to join the Fayette County High School family,” said Stikes. “We’re excited to see how the program grows and continues to excel. We know Coach will continue that success in the future.”

Tiger family announces two additional head coaches The Tiger family didn’t stop growing with the addition of Gilbert; they also announced two more new head coaches.

Kayla Conley is the new head Conley coach of the volleyball team.

Conley, a mathematics teacher at FCHS, was an All-Conference player for Maryville College and

brings experience from her stint as an assistant coach at Locust Grove High, as well as with multiple club programs.

Conley will look to build on a season where the squad reached the second round of the state playoffs.

Matt Foley will head up the varsity boys soccer squad.

Foley, an American government Foley teacher, spent the past three seasons as the JV boys head coach, and he also spent 11 season as the head basketball coach at Flat Rock Middle, where he won four county championships.

School System’s School Health Services celebrates 20-year anniversary For the last two decades, the Fayette County Public School System’s School Health Services Department has supported and enhanced educational success by improving and protecting the health status of students through prevention, maintenance, and education.

Debbie King, the school system’s school health services coordinator, implemented the program in 2000 after initially working as a school nurse because her children were in the school system.

“I stayed for the school nurses,” said King. “I think school nursing is a unique opportunity to touch the lives of every student in our school system.”

Three school nurses have been with the program since its inception and remain dedicated to ensuring the health of students across the county.

Nirmada Hall, who currently serves as the school nurse at Spring Hill Elementary, says what keeps her coming back after 20 years of service is her love for working with and helping students and staff stay healthy.

“The best thing about being a school nurse is no two days are the same, each day brings new challenges,” Hall said.

One of Hall’s most memorable moments as a school nurse was the day she got a note from a student as he left for middle school reading, “It’s nice to know someone besides your parents care for you.”

After 18 years as a school nurse in Fayette County, Traci Ennis, hopes to continue to make an impact in the

lives of the students she encounters on a daily basis.

Ennis, who is the school nurse at Whitewater High, says being a school nurse is all about the little things.

“It’s the small steps of progress or the smile on the always angry student’s face, or the sweet note they leave you days after you have helped them,” Ennis said.

Rising Starr Middle’s school nurse,Pam Kimbro recently reached her 20 years as a school nurse in Fayette County.

“The best thing about being a school nurse is the camaraderie between everyone, and I love the students,” said Kimbro.

“They are respectful, helpful, and well-mannered.”

A student telling her that she is kind is always a memorable moment for Kimbro. Although she has reached her 20-year mark, Kimbro’s motivation has stayed the same.

“Over the years, I’ve stayed as a school nurse for the students, who just want to have someone they can trust to help them with anything they need, whether it’s a nursing issue, need a counselor, administration involvement, etc. I also stay because of the staff.

We all work together to provide for their needs.”

Since its inauguration, the school system’s School Health Services Department has grown from a few school nurses servicing the entire school system to now having a licensed school nurse at every Fayette County public school clinic; that’s 26 nurses caring for approximately 25-100 students per day with illnesses, chronic health conditions, and injuries.

Got too much stuff?

Graduating high school students didn’t get the end to their senior year that they expected, but the Countrylake subdivision did their part to honor the grads with a parade May 30, organized by Dr. Carolyn Harper and Joan Malloy. Fourteen grads stood by the community’s lake as family, friends, and community leaders drove by to express congratulations.

Students bring home top awards from state science and engineering fair Original scientific research by Fayette’s middle and high school students earned top honors at the 71st Georgia Science and Engineering Fair, which was originally scheduled to take place at the Classic Center in Athens, but shifted to a virtual event this year due to concerns with COVID-19.

A total of 22 local students received first, second, third, and fourth place ribbons for their projects.

Three students received first place awards in the junior and senior divisions: Hyeonsu An and Aziaan Peerani, both from J.C. Booth Middle; and Marc van Zyl of McIntosh High.

As a first place senior division winner, van Zyl qualified to advance to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair this summer. Fellow competitors Seung-a Baek, also from McIntosh, along with Aleksander Stec, from Sandy Creek High, were automatically advanced to the international competition based on their

performance at the regional fair. However, due to safety concerns, the international fair has been cancelled this year.

Second place finishers in the junior division include Roshan Kolachina of J.C. Booth Middle, and Liam Begley and Ryan Sexton, both from Rising Starr Middle. In the senior division, Joseph Metzier Concepcion of McIntosh High and Cayden Shaffer of Whitewater High were awarded second place honors.

Third place honors in the junior division went to Alex Keele, Tyler Klinger, and Carpenter Ray, all from Whitewater Middle; and Harsh Singh from J.C. Booth Middle.

In the senior division, Leah Enterkin of Whitewater High and Annabella Orndorff and Charlotte Craner, both from Starr’s Mill High, received third place ribbons.

Seven students took fourth place honors in the senior division. They are Justus Fields and Yarithe Karim, both from Fayette County High; Alexa Markley, Anna Nam, Carly Nixon, and Karena Pemu, all from McIntosh High; and Alina Sullivan from Whitewater High.

FAYETTE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL Valedictorian Kaylin Belwood College: Georgia Tech Major: Computer Science Where do you think you will be in 10 years?

In 10 years, I hope to be working for a big tech company like Amazon or Google.

What does the honor of being named valedictorian mean to you?

Being named valedictorian validates all of the hard work and dedication that I have put forth these past four years.

How has your education prepared you for your future endeavors?

The Fayette County Public School System has a very good reputation, and I feel that it has prepared me for the challenges that await me in college.

What will you miss most about high school?

The two things I will miss the most about high school are being a member of the Fayette County High School marching band and playing soccer with my friends.

What is your favorite high school memory?

My favorite high school memory occurred in the first semester of senior year. My friend and I, both in marching band, decided to swap places while we worked out part of our show. Our director decided that we should keep marching beyond what we had been rehearsing before, and we had to think quickly to determine how we would swap back to our original spots without the director noticing.

Salutatorian Jonae Anderson College: Savannah College of Art and Design Major: Illustration Where do you think you will be in 10 years?

In 10 years I would hope that wherever I am I’m living happily and doing something I’m passionate about. I would have already graduated from college by then with a portfolio and a degree in illustration. My artistic skills would have hopefully immensely improved by that point too, and I might even be illustrating concept designs for children’s books or animated movies. In 10 years I would love to still have strong

relationships with the people I care about now and those who I’ll meet in the future. Of course, I would also have a dog and a chinchilla in 10 years.

What does the honor of being named salutatorian mean to you?

For me, being a salutatorian means that my hard work and determination paid off. The class of 2020 is filled with brilliant individuals and I get the honor of representing my class at Fayette County High School. I’m glad I had the chance to be the salutatorian of such an amazing class.

How has your education prepared you for your future endeavors?

My education has prepared me for future work environments where I’ll need to be able to interact with people and express my ideas. In some of my favorite classes, we had a lot of open discussions where we gained feedback about our ideas and created new ones together. I think this has really helped prepare me for when I find a job and need to work with a group of people to make an idea that works and can effectively be communicated with others.

The thing I’ll miss the most about high school is making memories with a lot of the people I’ve been with since middle school. I’ll never have another high school experience and I might not interact with a lot of these people in the same way again. I’m really going to miss a lot of the people I met in high school and the memories I was able to make with them.

What is your favorite high school memory?

Around 20 students were selected based on class rank to be Junior Marshals to help with the baccalaureate and graduation ceremony for the Class of 2019. For us, the last week of junior year was spent helping out around the school and preparing for graduation.

Even though there was a lot of work to be done that week, there were still a lot of special moments I got to share with my fellow Junior Marshalls. From eating a delicious chicken alfredo, catered

by Frank’s at The Old Mill, to watching my friend eating a funnel cake from the trash, Junior Marshall week will probably forever be my favorite high school memory.

RSI is an incredible 6-week program for students worldwide to come together at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and perform college-level research. I spent that summer exploring visual attention at a Harvard lab, pulling allnighters to explore Boston, learning to folk dance, and watching meteor showers on rooftops with my RSI friends.

How has your education prepared you for your future endeavors?

My education at Fayette County has prepared me to be a well-rounded student in the future. I have learned valuable life lessons from a few incredible teachers throughout my time at McIntosh, and their teachings will help me continue to grow as a curious and compassionately passionate scholar and community member. I have learned to follow my passions and never give up on my dream to change the world, and I will continue to apply these lessons throughout the rest of my life.

Salutatorian Jacqueline van Zyl College: Georgia Tech Major: Mechanical Engineering

What will you miss most about high school?

I will miss the people I have met and the friends I have made throughout high school that have helped shape me into the person I am today. I have made lifelong friends that have supported me through the stressors of life and that have always had my back. I have also met incredible mentors, including teachers, who have helped me grow to be a better person and student.

Where do you think you will be in 10 years?

In 10 years, I hope to be out of graduate school for mechanical engineering and nanotechnology and either researching and designing nanotechnologies to revolutionize fields of manufacturing or electronics or starting my own nanotechnology development and research company where I can work to commercialize life-saving nanotechnologies for the public.

Throughout my Fayette County Public School System education, I was blessed to meet incredible teachers and mentors who truly inspired my passion for learning from STEM to English classes. The great teachers I encountered pushed me to follow my passions inside and outside of the class room and taught me not only valuable subjectrelated information but also life skills on how to be successful as a student, classmate, and person.

Valedictorian Caitlin van Zyl

What will you miss most about high school?

Friends and mentors (the family and teachers that continually influenced my school career and life) What is your favorite high school memory?

Many of my favorite high school memories have been with my soccer team.

Some of my favorites were winning State Cup as a team, team dinners, sitting on the sidelines watching the varsity boys’ games, and their endless support as my second family.

What will you miss most about high school?

I’m definitely going to miss the people the most. There are so many amazing teachers I’ve had during my time here, and I met most of my friends here at school. I know that in this digital age it’s pretty easy to stay in touch, but it’s still not the same as seeing people every day.

College: University of Georgia Major: Finance Where do you think you will be in 10 years?

I can’t predict exactly what job I’ll have in 10 years, especially because I don’t have a specific “dream job.” However, I’ll have a steady, well-paying job either in business or in law. I hope to be either a business executive or an attorney. I will not be living in Peachtree City. I hope to be living in Seattle or Portland or somewhere on the West Coast. I would want to get back to my roots, as I am originally from California.

Wherever I am or whatever I’m doing, I bet I’ll have an all-black Dodge Challenger.

I had to put in so much work to get here, but I knew it would be worth it.

Being valedictorian means that I have worked hard and achieved more than most. I am not the average person. I put my all into everything, and I always strive to do my best work. Being valedictorian means that I am a leader and an achiever.

How has your education prepared you for your future endeavors?

My education in the Fayette county School System has prepared me for my future by allowing me to experience different subjects and experience different areas of education. Ultimately, I was able to find what I liked to do and what I did not like to do. I found that I loved history, business, and social studies. I found that I was not the biggest fan of science or writing. Also, I was able to take classes that were more career-oriented, like business and entrepreneurship classes. This has definitely influenced my choice of major and what I want to study in college.
