October 16, 2020, was a big day for the Town of Tyrone. It was the day the town moved into its new home.
The idea for the new town hall was born in January 2018, Town Manager Brandon Perkins recalled. He continued that they were talking about how the town had out-grown the former town hall. “We needed more office space, and major repairs were needed to the building,” he said.
Leasing space was considered, but Perkins said Town Council and staff realized it would be more feasible to build a custom solution to fit their needs. One of those needs was to remain in the town center.
After looking around and considering a parcel near Handley Park office complex, Perkins said they approached Harlie Dey-ton and asked if he would be willing to sell his front yard, which is located across

On any normal day a visit to the Publix in Fayetteville would mean having a grocery list in hand and a search for ingredients to a family dinner. But normal has a new mean-ing recently as concerns over the COVID-19 virus keep Fayette County residents on edge.
Publix has been among the companies that have stepped up in recent months to help provide public vaccination for the Covid-19 virus. Their pharmacy has provided op-tions through online appointments, provided individuals registering meet the necessary qualifications set by the federal government and the State of Georgia.
There’s just one major problem – finding an appointment time and being able to access it. On Tuesday, February 2nd, Publix opened its appointment access through its Web site in the early hours of the morn-ing. One Facebook user reported that appointments – listed as the Publix locations on Pavilion Parkway and Summit Point (along with a third location in Peachtree City) – had completely filled that same morning by 6:20 a.m.
It’s not just supermarket phar-
macies such as Publix, Kroger and Ingles that have had difficulty keep-ing up with demand for the Covid vaccine. Fayette County and Fayette-ville, like many cities and counties in Georgia, have had trouble filling requests since vaccines became available.
Meanwhile, on the testing side, the Fayette County Health Department on Stonewall Avenue continued to provide Covid tests as of the week of February 5th each Tuesday and Friday from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. “at this location until further notice”, ac-cording to its official Web site. Those interested in testing still need to go through the State of Georgia De-partment of Public Health using an online screening questionnaire.
While testing in the area may be fairly easy to find, those wanting or needing a vaccine could still find themselves waiting depending on how, when and where they choose to search.
A check of the The Fayette County Web site, at www.fayettecountyga.gov/coronavirus_information.php , on February 2nd had the site stating “We are completely out of vaccine and will not have the call center open making appointments again before Tuesday, Jan 19th.”
That same day, however, a social media post through the Fayette
County Health Department’s Face-book page stated that the appoint-ment line would re-open on Wednes-day, February 3rd, to schedule first dose appointments, with the call center open from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The appointment line was listed as (762) 888-8180.
“We appreciate your patience as we keep working through this,” the post stated.
What some Fayette County res-idents may not realize is that the county does not necessarily control the number of doses or those who find themselves on a list to be vacci-nated.
That’s the responsibility of the State of Georgia, through the Geor-gia Department of Public Health, District 4 Public Health.
The D4PH covers 12 counties in Georgia, including Fayette County. On February 2nd, the DPH stated on its Web site, https://www.dis-trict4health.org/ , “We have made appointments for all vaccine doses available. We will open the appoint-ment line again once more vaccine arrives”.
By February 4th, the site had changed to read “We are preparing for your 2nd dose” and linked to a list of locations and vaccination sites.
If the search for information re-garding testing -- and later a possible vaccine shot -- feels confusing, you are not alone. Local residents have been reading through social media, media publications and the Internet in an attempt to find out who can

It’s the middle of the night. An explosion sends debris thirty feet into the air. Flames reflect off of the broken glass on the ground. The glass comes from an abandoned car nearby, the outside covered with dents and scratches from vandals. Screams of anger and determination are heard all around as shadows and silhouettes of hu-man beings can be seen hiding within the foggy weather.
This was the scene of a recent movie filmed in the downtown Atlanta area – but it could just as easily have taken place in Fayetteville at Trilith Studios, now one of the larger and more estab-lished studios welcoming Hollywood into the State of Georgia with open arms.
With the outbreak of the COVID virus in 2020, studios such as Trilith tried to keep arms open – but with no one able to accept the offer after the entertainment industry, like many other industries in Georgia and around the country, shut down for business after the COVID outbreak soon became the center of attention.

On February 4th, the Fayetteville City Council, as part of the agenda for its regular meeting, held the first of two public hearings and the first read-ing to make minor revisions on a local marijuana ordinance, known on the books as #0-14-20.
Under the current ordinance, offenders young-er than 18 charged in the City of Fayetteville with possession of an ounce or less of marijuana are required to attend court with a parent or guard-ian, can be fined $125 on a first offense and are required attend a City-approved, eight-hour sub-stance abuse prevention/intervention program.
For adults 21 and older, there are similar fines and programs in place. A first offense lists as a $125 fine, while second and third offenses within 365 days of the original offense are currently list-ed as $250 and $500, respectively. A city-approved,

The sidewalks of Fayetteville have seen a lot of foot traffic – but with a little luck, it will see a lot more in the future and the paths will lead toward more parks, businesses and shops supporting the city.
It’s one of the possibilities facing Denise Brookins, City Planner for the City of Fayetteville – but it’s not the only one.
“We want to better understand the character of the area,” Brook-ins said in a recent interview with Fayette County News. “We’re trying to get as much public input as possible”.
That input is being encouraged in the form of a photo scavenger hunt being promoted through the City Planner’s Office, along with a consultant team, Direc-
tor of Community Development David Rast, local businesses, area residents and many other individ-uals associated with the City of Fayetteville.
There will also be a Virtual Design Charrette – basically an online meeting for discussion purposes – held on Thursday, Feb-ruary 11th and Friday, February 12th.
It’s all about what is known as an LCI, or Livable Centers Initiative. There’s been an LCI study in the works for the City of Fayetteville since at least mid-2017. The whole idea is to consider the future of transportation and development within the city, with a focus around the center (down-town) area.
Though the study is slightly limited by geographic borders (the study area is, after all, focused mostly on downtown, although the Main Street area
and parts of Lafayette Avenue and Grady Avenue are included, for example...), the feedback from Fayetteville residents has no borders or limits. In fact, the more feedback the better, according to Brookins.
“People are concerned about traffic and managed growth. Fayetteville is dynamic,” stated Brookins. “We’ve had opportuni-ties to meet with some businesses, and most are in favor for this—they understand the challenges involved”.
Taking concerns and turning them into fun activities has been on the agenda underneath the LCI Study and the City Planner’s office – which is why the virtual photo scavenger hunt was sug-gested.
Essentially, if a person wants to tell those behind the LCI study on what they want to see (or don’t want to see) more of in Fayette-ville, all he or she has to do is take a photo of what they have in mind, then hashtag it with one of three
“themes” : #MoreOfThisDown-town, #LessOfThisDowntown and #MyFavettevilleFavorite.
“We’ve had more people to E-mail us rather than use social media,” Brookins said.
David Rast is Director of Com-munity Development for the City of Fayetteville. He’s on board with the LCI Study and working to as-sist Brookins and the consultant companies in how to improve the downtown area using community feedback.
Rast also sat down with Fay-ette County News for a recent interview and provided his own
insight into the LCI study.“The end result will hopefully
be what our vision is within the downtown area. Some of the sub-missions have been about the path system in the Villages, but also about the sidewalks in downtown. We are working to create a vision for what we are now and what we can become”.

have a vaccination and where.
“Just placed a call to Piedmont Fayette’s Covid vaccine number. No luck. No longer making appoint-ments”, Carol Lunsford posted to a Fayette County Facebook discussion group on January 27th. “Hubby is 83 yrs and I’m 73 yrs. Seems like we will never get this vaccine. Publix schedule is full according
to the DPH website. Kroger is not listed at all. Am on the list for our family pharmacist but they don’t know when they’ll get the vaccine. We’ll probably be just as healthy as those who do get the vaccine even if we don’t get it.”
Those who are finally scheduled receive a date, time and appointment number, but must also fill out mandatory consent forms that may be ac-cessed online or are avail-
able at the testing loca-tions. As of the first week of February, those that qualified for a Covid-19 vaccine included residents and staff of long-term care facilities; adults age 65+ and their caregivers; health care workers and law enforcement, fire fight-ers and first responders.
The wait, along with the numbers, leave some residents of Fayetteville and Fayette County still remain anxious about
the future of vaccines for Covid-19, even as the Cen-ters for Disease Control in Atlanta reported more than 49 million vaccines distributed and 32 million dosages administered as of the beginning of February 2021.
“Eventually I was able to get into the que [sic] and had to sit on hold for 45 minutes and was able to get an appointment for this past Monday and did get the shot for me and
my husband. So anyway it will take a lot of patience, but eventually you’ll get through”, Facebook user Becky Self wrote in a Fayette County Facebook discussion page in a re-sponse to Carol Lunsford’s comment.
The State of Georgia, through the federal government, is currently engaged in what it calls “Phase 1A+” of Covid vaccine distribution. Addi-tional phases are planned
for later this year and will include “non-healthcare essential workers” and “persons age 16-64 with medical conditions that in-crease the risk for severe Covid-19”.
“I think [the testing] is way overblown. I’m an ultraconservative, and I think we are losing our freedoms,” one Fayette County resident, who tested on Friday, February 5th, and wished to remain anonymous, stated.

from Shamrock Park on Senoia Road. Deyton was willing to sell. It was ab-solutely the best location, according to the town manager.
After going through the bid process, Good-wyn Mills Cawood was selected as the architect (Amy Bell served as chief architect) and Parrish Construction Group was chosen as the builder. “There were a lot of ideas,” Perkins noted. The first draft looked like a train station, which was okay due to Tyrone’s rail-road history. “Out of the blue, the architect came in with alternatives, and ultimately, the elected officials loved the bell and clock tower,” he said.
There were different design ideas, but the process was very amica-ble, Perkins commented. The architectural team led the process for the new complex that houses all the town departments except for the Recreation Department and the Library. The Recreation Department will move into the old Police Depart-ment, which is located di-rectly across from Town Hall. The Recreation Department will be able to expand its programs now that it will have more office, classroom, and meting space, he added. The Tyrone Library is located nearby on Com-merce Drive. Unlike the Town Hall, the library was built using impact fees, which are fees paid by developers for infra-structure that must be built or improved because of the new development.
To pay for construction, Tyrone’s Public Facilities Authority took out its first bond for $4,395,000 to build the 17,470 square-foot building, according to Perkins and Finance
Manager Sandy Beach. The costs for furniture and other items were taken from the town’s General Fund.
Having the majority of town employees in one space has been beneficial, according to Perkins. “It helps to facilitate meetings and face-to-face conversations,” he said. The building has confer-ence rooms and meeting rooms that can be used by Council Members, police interviews, probation meetings on court days, and even quickly-called meetings between mul-tiple employees. There are also rooms that can accommodate staff train-ing. Perkins added that he is still learning how to change the colors of the LED lighting on the bell tower.
Perkins said staff refers to the Town Hall/administrative side of the building, including Pub-lic Works, as the “West Wing.” Court Services and the Police Depart-ment are located on the other side. Employee parking is located in the fenced area behind the building, and the employ-ees can enter the building from their parking area. Future plans include putting picnic tables and a grill inside the fenced area for employees to use for gatherings or just to enjoy their lunch outside on a nice day.
As for the future, Per-kins foresees the build-ing lasting for 50 years. “We built Town Hall for roughly 30% growth,” he said. Several areas used for storage or meeting rooms can also be used as offices when the time comes, and some single offices were designed to accommodate two people, if necessary.
Perkins pointed out that they discovered the lay of the land would require
the detention pond to be in front of the building, which no one wanted, but staff tried to turn the area into something special. They worked with A Abby Group in Tyrone to landscape the detention pond and tie it into the rest of the parcel. Perkins added that someone from the Georgia Environmen-tal Protection Division (EPD) told him it was one of the nicest detention areas they had seen. “It’s definitely an asset, not an eyesore,” he said.
There are plans de-veloping for the former town hall, which housed a church before it became the town hall, too. The area used for Council Chambers will be home to the Tyrone Museum, which will open later this year. Perkins said they are also considering leas-ing the office area.

The Coweta County School System notified parents on Thursday that Coweta schools would continue with modified operations throughout February.
The school system has operated in a modified for-mat — with cohort hybrid schedules at high schools and greater flexibility for parents to opt for online learning — since return-ing for the 2nd semester in early January. The system is extending that modified format from Feb-ruary 8 through February 26 because of ongoing high levels of COVID-19 activity in Coweta County, and in order to maintain in-person school opera-tions with lower numbers of students on campus.
All High Schools will continue with cohort hybrid instruction (one week in-person, one week virtual for students), between Monday, Febru-ary 8 and February 26. All students will be off February 15-19 for Winter Break. For students who have opted for in-person instruction, those with last names beginning with A-K may attend next week (February 8-12), and students with last names beginning with L-Z may attend the week after the break (February 22-26). Students not in-person will attend classes virtu-ally. Students who have opted for virtual-only 2nd semester instruction remain virtual-only.
More information about cohort hybrid scheduling is being shared by the high schools. Families who face difficulties because of this model may contact their school’s principal to discuss alter-nate arrangements.
This approach will reduce the number of stu-dents in daily attendance during the current high rates of COVID-19. The school system will con-tinue to assess COVID-19 conditions, and may re-turn to full daily face-to-face instruction for those who choose it by March 1.
All Elementary and Middle Schools will continue the 2nd semester both in-person and online, as parents have chosen. Additionally, all parents who have chosen in-per-son instruction for their elementary and middle school child will contin-ue to have the option of virtual instruction if they wish. If a student is in-person for the second semester, but wishes to continue virtually, they can do so February 8-26 No sign-up is necessary for this option, but par-ents are asked to commit to continued virtual instruction for this period if they so choose.
The Coweta County School System will contin-ue to make assessments about school operations beyond February 26 on the basis of public health guidance, COVID con-ditions within our local community, and on a school-by-school basis.

All Five High Schools Headed to State Academic Bowl
Fayette County’s high schools had a strong showing at the 2020-2021 Griffin RESA Academic Bowl, with teams from all five high schools moving on to the Geor-gia Regional Academic Bowl.

In the Varsity division, McIntosh High placed second followed by Sandy Creek High in third place.

The Meeting Place
My immediate family lived in Northwest Georgia for many
decades. My Dad managed a large local factory, and I went to high school there. My wife and I still have many family
members and in-laws who live there in various towns.
I like the people I know in the area. That’s why I never understood why Marjorie Taylor Greene won the
14th Congressional District GOP primary over her well qualified, respected, tradition-al conservative opponent, Dr. John Cowan.
I wasn’t the only one star-tled. The news made many national papers, even Great Britain’s BBC (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-can-ada-53747851) and the Daily Mail. These publications zeroed in on her documented support for the weird, violent QAnon conspiracy theory which states that Trump is leading a holy war against Satan worshippers and pedo-philes who have taken over the media, business interests and government. QAnon is so way out there that the FBI has de-signed it as an extremist group to be monitored.
Prior to the election, she also was seen on videos with her bigotry on full display, slamming Jews, Muslims and African Americans. Oh, but there’s much more.
In 2018 she agreed with a Facebook post saying 9/11 was staged, as well as the horrible mass shootings at the Park-land and Sandy Hook schools (https://www.facebook.com/MarjorieTaylorGreene/posts/1918009011822533?com-ment_id=1918044201819014&re-ply_comment_id=1918267411796693). That must be why Rep. Kevin McCa-rthy has put her on the House Education Committee.
Further, she falsely stated that Pelosi was telling Hillary
Clinton that more shootings were needed to obtain gun con-trol. And she “liked” a Face-book posting stating “a bullet to the head would be quicker in removing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.” And, as if that were not enough, she did a stream from Pelosi’s office in-dicating that the House Speak-er was guilty of “treason” and that she would “suffer death or she’ll be in prison.”
(https://www.thedailybeast.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-liked-facebook-posts-calling-to-execute-dems-before-run-ning-for-office-cnn)
In fact, Greene has dou-bled down since her election, lying with impunity every chance she gets (https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/21/politics/fact-check-mar-jorie-taylor-greene-twit-ter-election-capitol/index.html?utm_medium=so-cial&utm_term=link&utm_content=2021-01-22T00%3A34%3A18&utm_source=twCNN).
For example, denying (“white supremacy BS”) that there were white power ele-ments involved in the Capital insurrection, although we all saw them. And, continuing to say that, a. Biden’s elector-al votes were “fraudulent” even after Republican judges verified that the election was fair and honest; b. the Georgia 11-3 election was “stolen”; and c. the run-off was also stolen because “Georgia state leaders refused to listen to Georgia taxpayers”. There’s absolutely no proof of substantial irregu-larities during these elections.
Moreover, Greene is not will-ing to settle down now that she has entered the halls of Con-gress. In her infinite wisdom, rookie Rep. Greene decided to pull another stunt on Biden’s first day in office. Greene filed impeachment charges against Biden, of all things, and placed on Twitter (1-17) her inane charge that Biden is a “threat to national security”.
As the basis for her filing, she cites his work as Vice President to remove a crook-ed Ukrainian official. The debunked theory she espouses is that Biden did it to help his
son; however, the facts are that he was simply carrying out US policy that had nothing at all to do with his son. Per Al.com, the largest news media outlet in Alabama, she made these accusations “without provid-ing evidence”; USA Today also fact checked her allegations and found them to be false.
Incredibly, her office issued a statement saying she filed because, “We have to make sure that our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a President of the Unit-ed States that is willing to abuse their power” (https://www.newsweek.com/mar-jorie-taylor-greene-files-im-peachment-arti-cles-against-biden-fundrais-es-off-effort-1563517).
These are the same allega-tions made against her men-tor, President Trump, that she resists. However, there is substantial evidence to back up those charges, as evidenced in charges voted on by the full House in his two impeach-ments.
In one of her Twitter posts, Greene stated, “we will see how this goes.” However, any thinking, rationale person already knows exactly what will happen. Her charges are laughable and will continue to be ignored by the House. Meanwhile, money hungry Greene is busy fund raising from the small lunatic fringe through-out the nation, with some success due to her strange notoriety. Meanwhile, Northwest Georgia has be-come an international laugh-ingstock, with stories about her inane stunts appearing overseas.
On the other hand, Greene can be removed from Congress with a two thirds vote. Will Minority Leader McCarthy, who refused to acknowledge that Biden won the election fairly, have the guts to get his GOP members to do so? I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Can’t we just remove Rep. Greene instead? In 1980, the movie Motel Hell was released. It was the story of a

short: they were stuffing their hotel patrons with food, killing and dismembering them, and then grinding them into (I’m sure you’ve already guessed) – sausage.
I can assure you that this story is nothing like that. Because this one is going to turn your stomach.
My dad was always looking to save a penny. Being a career Navy man, he was constantly being reassigned somewhere new. Never
having flown a day in his life – acrophobia is why – every three years he was tasked with transporting our family from our current home to a new one. When we moved to Holland and, years later, Hawaii, the four of us – dad, mom, me and my sister Hope – drove from Virginia to New York and from Rhode Island to California, respectively, so we could board a ship to sail to our next residence. Air travel was out of the question.
That being said, we were often required to seek shelter along the highways. As we drove – usually 500 miles or more each day – all of us had specific assignments. Mom’s was to decide where we should eat, mine was asking how long it would be before the
next time we would stop, and Hope’s was pointing out billboards in-dicating FIFTEEN FOOT ALLIGATOR! and 19 MILES TO SOUTH OF THE BORDER, just in case my dad missed them. Dad was responsible for overnight lodging, and that meant one thing: finding the cheapest looking motor lodge on the road. You know the kind: there’s a small office, usually locked up for the night by 11 p.m., adjacent to a long building containing precisely 20 rooms, all with a front door you can drive right up to and park for the night. And rooms were mostly rented by the hour, not for an entire night.
Once I was out on my own, I swore never to stay in a hotel like that ever again. And except for four minor errors in judgment, I’ve been true to my word:
August 1988 – Sunflower Inn, Maggie Valley, North Carolina. The room was clean – it had that much going for it – but then again, it’s not terribly difficult maintaining cleanliness in a room the size of a shuffleboard table. The room was so small – the bed was up against three of the four walls - that the only way the maid could have made up the bed was by climbing up on the mattress and getting on her knees. The contents of the room were as follows: bed, dresser (two drawers), bathroom (the size of a side-by-side refrigerator), bible, and 12 ½ square feet of open space to get around in. But then again, the room was clean.
February 1994 – the Brahman, Tallahassee, Florida. Three of us – Al, Valerie, and I – drove down to Tallahassee to run in a race. Al and I shared one room, and Valerie had a room to herself. We asked for a late checkout so we could get a shower after the race, before our drive home. The proprietor said he needed one of the rooms for another guest, but that we could get a late checkout for the other. Al and I took two towels from our room and left them in Valerie’s room for our showers later. When it came time to check out, the proprietor insisted that Al and I had stolen two towels and he was about to call the police. Fortunately, Valerie ran back to the room and returned with two wet towels; otherwise, Al and I would have spent the rest of our lives with a conviction for ‘Grand Theft Cotton’ hanging over our heads.
July 2003 – Panamint Springs Resort, Death Valley, California. Five of my friends were supporting me for a 135-mile race across Death Valley. The race took the better part of a day-and-a-half to run, so we decided to rent a room at a hotel in the middle of the des-ert, about halfway into the race, so we could all shower and, if need be, catch a quick nap. Four of my friends drove ahead and showered while I kept running, with my crew chief Paula by my side. By the time Paula and I got to the room, all of the towels had been used; towels, incidentally, that were so thin they were transparent. After a quick, rather cold shower using the sliver of soap the others had left for us to use, Paula and I each took a bed for a quick nap that lasted for every bit of 60 seconds. Also, the air conditioner in the room wasn’t working, and it was 110 degrees outside – and even warmer inside. Had we been smart, we would have saved the mon-ey and just jumped in the hotel’s pool as we were running by – at least the water temperature was a little cooler; a few degrees below 100, maybe.
September 2008 – Scottish Inn, White Springs, Florida. Cindy and I were driving to Gainesville for an important Gator football game, only there weren’t any rooms available in the area, not even as far away as Lake City. We were about an hour north of Gainesville and decided to stay in quite possibly the only hotel within 100 miles that had a vacancy. For good reason, we soon discovered. The towels were paper thin – you could see through them if you held them up to the light – and, although they were probably white at one time, were a dingy shade of gray. The quilt on the bed – while rather warm once you were under it – was damp and smelled of mildew. Cindy couldn’t get to sleep thinking about it; I immediately fell immedi-ately so I wouldn’t have to. The next morning, I went to the office for the complimentary coffee. The man behind the front desk eyed me suspiciously, as if I was going to take an extra packet of Sweet ‘N Low or something even more despicable. The coffee pot was sitting on the window sill, sharing the space with a rather large number of flies and an impressive collection of dead mosquitoes. Fortunately, the cockroaches weren’t anywhere around; that’s because they were having a convention on the condiment counter on the other side of the office, where I was headed next to get some creamer. I decided against the creamer; instead, I took an extra packet of Sweet ‘N Low, realizing I was putting my life on the line because I could still feel the man’s eyes laser focused on the back of my head.
These days, I limit myself to staying in Hampton Inns. They’re always good for providing rooms that are neat, clean, and ample in size. They even provide a complimentary breakfast, offering a wide array of food and drink, all of which are usually quite good.
But I can’t vouch for the sausage; I’ve never tried it. You know; just in case.

I love to make people laugh and my speaking engagements create some of the best times when I can crack wise and
there will be laughter after-wards.
I was asked to “perform” at the Octo-ber 2020 Oak Hill Ceme-tery Tour in Newnan. Since the cem-etery dates back to 1833 when Coweta
County was still welcoming pioneer families, the graveyard carries some buried secrets of those who came before and since. The storytellers stood at several points throughout and told of a person or family who were either famous or infamous in Coweta County.
For my part, I was asked to dress up as a turn-of-the-centu-ry woman of means. My outfit was a custom made floor length royal blue polyester silk dress buttoned in the back with large puff sleeves, high collar with a white lace jabot and a fake dia-mond brooch pin attached, white lace gloves, and a black velvet hat with veil, and another fake diamond pin added to it. I was supposed to be representative of some past grandeur of the town’s families in ‘The City of Homes”. (The gorgeous and grand homes of Newnan were spared because Sherman marched east to Sa-vannah, as we well know.)
Oak Hill Cemetery is just as grand: elegant epitaphs, Victo-rian statuary, box tombs, and every style of marker from 1833. Among the engravings, I didn’t find but one out of sync that only had the person’s name and un-der it read, “She Died”. No birth
or death date. There I was, as a gatekeeper,
welcoming visitor groups as they entered the serene setting. Since I was asked to open wide the iron gates for guests to visit, and humorist that I am, I felt they should get their laughs on before entering the serious tone of their future stops. Here are some engraved inscriptions, not at Oak Hill, that I shared with the tour groups before entering.
These etchings are found in FAMOUS LAST WORDS & TOMBSTONE HUMOR by Gyles Brandreth. Most are witty and I hope, as you read, you’ll enjoy a bit of humor in them because in these hesitant times we now find ourselves, we still need a chuckle.
They may not all be verified, but even so, I hope they at least bring you a smile.

If you live in Fayette County, you may not nec-essarily know the faces of your state representatives -- but their actions and decisions could have a potential impact on what you see in the local com-munity every day.
That was just one point briefly addressed by the Fayette Chamber of Com-merce during its virtual Civic Leadership Summit on February 4th.
Each year the Cham-ber schedules a visit to the State Capitol where Fayette Chamber rep-resentatives meet with business leaders and State legislators. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandem-ic, this year’s meeting was held virtually via a Zoom conference.
This year’s summit theme was “Advocating for the Free Enterprise System” and featured speakers from area and regional businesses.
During the online summit, Fayette Cham-ber President & CEO Colin Martin read the list to those in virtual attendance of what the Chamber would like to see lawmakers address in 2021. The Chamber provides a similar list to state representatives each year.
“ We presented it to our legislative representatives in early 2021 and receive positive feedback on it,” Martin said.
It’s not that tricky to read and at seven points is brief and encompasses what could potentially be a lot of positive contribu-tions to Fayette County.
Number one states “We support continuation of the tax credit program for film and television production”.
“It’s a bit of an import-ant industry in Fayette County,” Martin stated, referring indirectly to Trilith Studios - formerly Pinewood Studios - that sits on a large property just a few miles from the downtown Fayetteville area.
More than two billion dollars was fed into the Georgia economy relat-ed to filming during the fiscal 2020 year.
Listed second on the agenda is an emphasis on transportation and economic development within Fayette County.
“We support continued strategic investment of state funding into Geor-gia’s transportation net-
work to promote economic development and greater quality of life”, the agenda states.
A third point notes potential legislation to ex-empt military retirement pay from state income tax while a fourth mentions the possibility of the legis-lative delegation to secure funding for a permanent campus for Clayton State University and South-ern Crescent Technical College.
The fifth item on the agenda hits a little closer to home for some Fayette business owners and residents - it’s about the local workforce, which has been hit hard since so many jobs were lost or furloughed in 2020 due to concerns over COVID.
“We support efforts to ensure Georgia continues to foster an educational and vocational ecosystem focused on developing, retaining, and attracting a more globally competi-tive workforce,” the item reads.
Moore Hallmark is Vice President, Regional Affairs and Advocacy Congressional and Public Affairs with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Hallmark opened the virtual session and spoke partly on how businesses have been working and fighting to keep doors open and maintain a sense of normalcy while the Covid-19 pandemic occurs.
“Businesses have adapted to survive. Small businesses have kept their doors open, and employees on the payroll,” Hallmark said.
Zaheer Faruqi, CEO of Aventure Aviation, head-quartered in Peachtree City, was also a speaker during the virtual ses-sion.
“Small businesses are really hurting because of the pandemic. We really need to do much more. The challenge is how do you get the economy stimulated. We need to figure out what the small businesses need.”
With hope that the pandemic and virus may become somewhat under
control by the end of 2021, the sixth item on Fayette Chamber’s 2021 Legisla-tive Agenda addresses where businesses that re-open or seek to add additional employees may find those eager for work. The answer may lay with Fayette County schools.
“We support prioriti-zation of consistent and adequate funding for Dual Enrollment, so Fayette students can fully engage in post-secondary oppor-tunities and training,” states the sixth item.
Finally, the seventh and last item on the agenda covers the idea of provid-ing students and their families with access to technology in areas that may not necessarily have the capability or be ade-quate enough to handle virtual learning.
“The Chamber supports initiatives by the state of Georgia to bring broad-band Internet access to undeserved areas,” reads the seventh item.
All of these points were discussed or addressed during the virtual sum-mit.
“You have to understand the landscape. Fayette, be-ing the forward-thinking community, has experi-enced tremendous growth over the past ten years. Chambers are designed to be institutions of oppor-tunity. What’s going to impact your great-grand-kids and how Fayetteville looks in the future?”, Jay Bailey, president and CEO of the Russell Center for Innovation & Entrepre-neurship in Atlanta, said as he spoke online during the Fayette Chamber Civ-ic Leadership Summit.
The Fayette Chamber of Commerce serves the Fay-ette County communities of Brooks, Fayetteville, Peachtree City, Tyrone and Woolsey.
The Chamber ‘s self-stat-ed mission is to “advocate for the success of our members and communi-ty”. The Chamber in part provides networking, education events, and leadership development opportunities to business owners and Fayette Coun-ty residents.

Peachtree City has the opportunity to participate in a program designed to enhance transportation safety and mobility for Public Safety staff and drivers in the City.
Alan Davis of the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and Maria Roell of the Atlanta Regional Commis-sion (attending remotely) briefed City Council on the Regional Connected Vehicle Program (CV1K) concept and scope during a work session held Tuesday, February 2, at City Hall.
Advances in technology and upcoming decisions from automakers provide opportunities to improve travel and safety, Davis said. Connected vehicles can talk to infrastructure, infrastructure can talk to vehicles, and vehicles can talk to vehicles, he said. The momentum has been seen in the last few years;
and some automakers, such as Ford and Cadillac, already have the technol-ogy. Other manufacturers are not far behind.
Davis explained that the connected vehicle technol-ogy operated on the same communications safety spectrum used at traffic signal intersections. The two types of technology are Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) and Cellular Vehicle-to-Ev-erything (C-V2X). Davis said GDOT is looking at applications that improve traffic safety and mobility, such as emergency vehicle preemption and transit signal priority.
The ARC created the regional program that leverages federal aid to build the infrastructure needed, with the goal of outfitting over 1,000 signalized intersections in the region, Davis said. Radios would be placed at the selected intersec-tions that operated on the special spectrum used for
communication with the traffic signals. The federal dollars required a local match of 20%. Currently, there are 600 intersections that have been selected for the program in the Atlanta area, and Davis reiterated that the goal was 1,000.
Cobb County, Gwinnett County, and John’s Creek have already signed on to participate. Davis said GDOT serves as the administrative sponsor for the program, providing paperwork for the procure-ment of the technology, and oversight. The cost to install the radios is $8,300 per intersection.
Public Safety vehicles would be equipped with radios that could commu-nicate with those at the in-tersections. Davis said they were looking at fleet vehi-cles because of the safety value for them to be able to communicate with the traffic signals. While there weren’t many vehicles with the required technology built-in, the auto industry
was looking at including it for vehicle safety. The tech-nology could be leveraged for first responder vehicles, he added.
For example, the driver of the police, fire, or ambu-lance vehicle headed to an incident would be able to send a signal to the traffic lights on a busy highway to have all the signals turn green. The signal would respond by turning green, minimizing the time it took for the first respond-er to get to the incident, possibly saving lives and property, Davis explained.
Public Transportation can also benefit from the technology by sending a message to traffic signals to help stay on schedule. Time would be added to the green signal, Davis contin-ued. The technology can help protect pedestrians by alerting drivers that people were in the crosswalks especially for drivers mak-ing turns at intersections where the view could be blocked of any pedestrians
in the crosswalk.Davis said the technology
would allow infrastructure to reach safe levels and im-prove efficiency. He added it had been fascinating to see the deployment and watch the local agencies then leverage the deploy-ment of the technology.
Roell asked the City to consider participating in the program and work with the planning process.
King noted that Ford was implementing the technology in two years, asking how much it would cost the average person buying a vehicle. Davis said the technology could be required in vehicles in the future, and he believed it would be part of the standard equipment. The third-party aftermarket installation was approxi-mately $800.
Ernst said technology in automobiles was already moving in that direction noting many vehicles au-tomatically slowed down/stopped when sensing oth-
er vehicles were too close, but he said he wasn’t sold on the program yet. “The price is good, but is the juice worth the squeeze,” Ernst, the Mayor Pro-tem, asked. Mayor Vanessa Fleisch was not at the meet-ing.
One of Council’s con-cerns was which technol-ogy would be used, espe-cially if one technology was chosen over the other, and the cost of changing it. Davis said it appeared the automakers were leaning toward the C-V2X technol-ogy.
City Manager Jon Rorie said he could see the safety benefit, especially with traffic preemption for first responders, as well as other drivers. Roell said participation in the pro-gram would allow the City to obtain the technology earlier and cheaper.
King said more study was needed, and Rorie said staff would gather more data to enable Council to make a decision.
Peachtree City Council’s Feb. 2 workshop
eight-hour substance abuse pro-gram is also required as stated by the ordinance.
Offenders also undergo clini-cal assessment to determine if there are enough criteria for the individual case to meet a canna-bis use disorder.
“Those individuals who do meet such criteria will receive a voluntarily referral to the state certified abuse / use disorder treatment program,” Fayetteville Police Chief Scott Gray stated as he addressed the Fayetteville City Council at the February 4th meeting.
The City Council passed the ordinance in a 5-0 vote on No-vember 5th, 2020 after two public hearings on the subject earlier in the year.
Around that same time, Fay-
etteville Mayor Ed Johnson cit-ed the concerns over criminal behavior versus possible bad decisions by those who found themselves on the wrong end of the law regarding marijuana in Fayetteville.
“We are not decriminalizing possession. If we can identify somebody who has a problem with addiction, we can get them help”, Johnson stated during the November 5th council meeting.
Chief Gray stated that chang-es to the ordinance were neces-sary due to how the ordinance could be read in addressing first and second offenses.
“As we have moved through putting this ordinance into practice, a couple of key addi-tions have come to light,” Gray stated as he addressed the coun-cil members.
“When we took a further look
at it, and had conversations, the City Manager and I, with the City Court and the judge, it came to our attention that the fines actually in the second of-fense, once they had completed the courses, were less than the original first offense fine.”
Essentially, a first-offense fine is $150 while a second-offense fine is $250. There’s a small problem, though -- once an in-dividual completes a substance abuse program on the second-of-fense, he or she has an option of having $150 reduced for comple-tion.
When examining the math, it means that -- in theory -- a second offense only costs $100 compared to the first offense of $150. Proposed changes to the ordinance provide a more balanced fine system while still requiring offenders to attend
the abuse prevention/interven-tion program.
The original ordinance as pro-vided to the City of Fayetteville, states in part that its creation is to “enhance public safety and eliminate costs by reducing the amount of time police officers spend in connection with the ar-rest, processing, and transpor-tation of those accused of simple marijuana possession”.
The concerns over marijuana, its effects and how law enforce-ment should treat the subject on a legal level during a stop or arrest are nothing new in the State of Georgia.
In December 2020, in an article discussing the heated race for the Senate in Georgia, Forbes Magazine cited a Gallup poll where the results found that around 68 percent of Amer-icans supported the legalization
of marijuana for adults.The Fayetteville amendment
doesn’t legalize the possession of marijuana -- but there is hope that it might have an effect within the local community when it comes to the individual incidents of citations and ar-rests, according to Chief Gray.
A decline in marijuana-relat-ed incidents could be seen on a potential short-term and long-term scale, according to Gray.
“We’re mostly starting to see how those cases come in, so I think a good parameter would be about a year,” Gray stated after the meeting.
Any individual that decides not to go through the programs associated with the ordinance will have their case assigned to the court system for adjudica-tion. Fine amounts also do not include court costs.

The City Council of Peachtree City approved an annexation and rezoning request at its February 4 meeting that will bring four tracts totaling ap-proximately 46 acres along Redwine Road into the city.
The property owners of 2443, 2459, 2471, and 2493 Redwine Road submitted their request using the 100% annexation method, Planning & Development Director Robin Cailloux told Council Thursday night. The 100% annex-ation method basically means all the property owners agreed to request the annexation. Currently zoned Agricultural-Resi-dential (A-R) in unincorpo-rated Fayette County, the rezoning request was to bring 39 acres of the four properties into the city as R-12 (single family residen-tial with a minimum 12,000 square-foot lots) and the remaining seven acres as Agricultural Reserve (AR). Cailloux noted that both Wilshire Estates and Fores-ton Place were zoned R-12. The annexed properties are located on the south-
ern edge of the City and are large-lot single-family homes, with horse stables.
Cailloux continued that the plan submitted met the city’s land use policies, including the step-down in residential density near the city boundaries. She noted that plan has a proposed density of 1.91 units per acre compared to a density of 2.33 units per acre in Wilshire and 1.81 units per acre in Foreston Place. In addition, the proposed plan has 28% open space com-pared to the city policy of 25% in new developments. Environmentally-sensitive areas of the properties, in-cluding a pond and a couple of small streams, will be protected.
Seven conditions for ap-proval were recommended by staff regarding buffers along the property line as well as an agreement with the developer concerning multi-use path construc-tion along the western edge of the Redwine Road right-of-way into Foreston Place. Multi-use paths paths are to be provided to the northern property line to the Redwine Road right-of-way that will connect to a tunnel Fayette County is
building to connect to its path system leading to the Starr’s Mill School Com-plex. Cailloux added that the city was in negotiations with the property owner to the south regarding an easement for a multi-use path connection to the tun-nel under Highway 74.
James Nicholson with Freedom Landholdings and Steve Moore with Moore Bass Consulting represented the property owners. Nicholson said Jeff Lindsey Communities would be the builder, and the homes would be farm-house/craftsman style. He was concerned about the wording of the condition regarding the south path connection to the Highway 74 tunnel, which used the word “shall” instead of “will.” He noted the city must obtain the easement before the path could be constructed. Moore was also concerned about the wording for the southern path connection, and he asked for consideration in changing that wording. In addition, Moore said the homeowners association (HOA) would be responsi-ble for the open space in the subdivision.
Two Mountbrook residents address traffic concerns during the public hearing. Phillip Adams said the traffic on Red-wine Road had increased dramatically the last seven years. Trying to enter and exit Mountbrook was hazardous, particularly during school times. Cart path access to the school system contributed to the problem. He asked that a safety traffic study be done prior to adding residential density.
Jason Hyne agreed with Adams regarding the traffic issues during school hours. Turning left to get to Highway 74 was diffi-cult. He also read a letter from the Mountbrook HOA that addressed the traffic congestion during school hours, safety of the schools’ students and staff, and requested a traffic study.
Council Member Mike King said he had always enjoyed the view of these properties and the horses, noting the landowners had been there a long while. Property owners had rights, and he supported the annexation.
Council Member Kevin Madden clarified that the
golf cart traffic would use the tunnel under Redwine Road rather crossing the road to get to the school complex. He agreed with King regarding property rights, adding the devel-opment would be a good addition to the south side of the city. He continued that there would be traffic regardless of how the four tracts would be developed. He hoped that the new homeowners would be re-spectful and be courteous on the roadways.
City Manager Jon Rorie briefly discussed the path connections, pointing out the location of the Redwine Road tunnel. He said when completed there would be a path from Fayetteville to Panther Path (the road for the school complex) on the north side of Redwine Road. The city would have a parallel path from Fores-ton Place on the south side of Redwine Road to the tunnel. He also suggested that traffic control devic-es could be placed on the multi-use path on the north side similar to those on the Battery Way path, and he said he would discuss that with the County since it was their path.
Council Member Terry Ernst also supported the annexation, noting that an-nexation gave the city a say in what was developed. He would like to see another exit out of the new subdi-vision into the Wilshire Village area. Cailloux said there was nowhere to put another exit due to all the homes in the area. Homes would have to be con-demned for a connection to Wilshire Village.
Mayor Vanessa Fleisch asked Cailloux wheth-er Fayette County had to notify the city about development on its borders. Cailloux said it did not, but there was a good relation-ship between the staffs.
Fleisch said the city’s borders were being defined by septic issues, noting that an assisted living facility had asked to be annexed on east side because of septic issues, and the same had occurred with the day care center on Highway 74 on the south side. Per the 2014 Growth Boundary Survey, this annexation would fills in the section on the south.
A motion by King and seconded by Council Member Phil Prebor was unanimously approved.
Peachtree City Council’s Feb. 4 council meeting
Georgia, this meant the manda-tory wearing of masks, social distancing and a more strict overview of how many crew members, background actors and outsiders would be permit-ted to access studio property and sets.
Many productions now have designated color-coded areas in an attempt to track who can go where and when. Even some-thing as simple as a bathroom break might mean walking an additional few minutes to use
the facilities, despite having access to bathroom facilities nearby.
Red Zones and Yellow Zones have appeared, defining which bathrooms can be used, where to eat and where to be on set. When colors aren’t used, the alphabet is brought in, using everything from Zone A to Zone Z, depend-ing on the needs of a production company.
Masks are mandatory almost everywhere. Exceptions are made for eating and drinking—but even then a background actor or a crew member may not be
safe. Some production compa-nies designate special areas for taking a break or having a bite of a candy bar. Returning to work or a holding area, masks must be pulled back up over the nose and face. The stricter projects also mandate face shields, sometimes creating a look of science fiction that makes a holding area for extras look closer to an actual set environment.
As Marvel Studios continues to film its new Spiderman movie – still expected to be released by the end of 2021 despite ongoing filming as of the end of Janu-
ary – protocols at Trilith are kept to the strictest and tightest confinement. That’s on top of the security procedures already in place from Marvel in an attempt to keep scenes and sets secret.
A few productions, such as Dwayne Johnson’s movie “Red Notice”, which completed filming in late 2020, actually put their actors, background actors and crew in hotels for the duration of filming. No family members were allowed in or out, and movement and interaction within the hotel was strictly guarded. Security and concern over plot spoilers
becomes less of an issue when the possibility of COVID being spread among your production remains a possibility.
With the upcoming plans for expansion from Trilith Studios, including the construction of ad-ditional studio space, more proj-ects, such as Johnson’s upcoming movie “Black Adam” in March, will be brought to Fayetteville and Fayette County. The major question remains, however, of what effect COVID will have on production procedures—and the lengths to which a production will go to keep stars safe.

Alice Matthews Jones lives a life of service. From her earliest years through her career and ramping up in retirement, she finds fulfillment in making a difference.
Growing up she had the opportunity to live in two separate environments, shaping a world view of different perspectives. She was born in Philadel-phia and lived there through
starting primary school. The big city had its own unique sights and sounds.
“The trolley track was on the street that we lived, and with the noise at night, you didn’t get a good night’s sleep,” she remem-bered.
She moved to Kingstree, South Carolina, as a teen. It was a 180-degree change that brought a breath of fresh air, literally. It was clean and quiet, and she got to learn cooking, gar-dening, and Christianity, “the pleasantries of life” Alice called it.
“My grandmother didn’t like the environment (in Philadelphia) for us, and she took us in at an early age,” she said. “It was a good life, a good experi-ence, being out there.”
She earned her under-graduate degree from Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina, then headed to the nation’s capital where she worked as a stenographer with the National Commission on Violence in America under President Lyndon Johnson. She produced the letters people receive from presidents on an electric typewriter for mass-pro-ducing letters with a canned signature.
“That was a great experience for me. That was the best job I think I ever had in my life,” she recalled. “I was really circling the government. And on our lunch break we would go shopping or go to the museums, but we really worked.”
In the early 1970’s she returned to Philadelphia to take care of her ailing father, and she started grad school at Temple Uni-versity, where she accu-mulated enough credits to become an accountant. In Philly, she worked, as both a secondary school teacher and as an accountant.
A relocation brought her south to Florida, where she completed grad school, graduating Cum
Laude with a Masters Degree in Business Ad-ministration from Tampa College, and she was pro-moted to management.
In addition to teaching as a college professor, she spent most of her employ-ment as a tax auditor with the Florida Dept. of Reve-nue in Tallahassee.
In 1989, she transferred to Georgia, and she has long since called Fayette-ville her home. Over the course of her career as an auditor covering the southeast region, she au-
dited companies for sales & use tax, intangible prop-erty tax, and documentary stamp tax compliance and assessments before retiring in 2003. She still does compliance audits for small businesses and non-profits to make sure they are up to speed on their taxes.
Retirement from the day-to-day grind didn’t mean time to get lazy for Alice. She took it as an opportu-nity to cultivate a passion for community service that was always been in
her heart. “I’ve always had com-
munity activism in my spirit,” she said. Back in Philadelphia, her Aunt Pearl got her involved in causes. “She was every energetic, and she would reach out to me as a young person to get involved in fundraisers she would do for the church. She had the old-fashioned caba-rets, and I helped her with those. We also had (fund-raiser) boat rides on the Delaware River and com-munity cleanup projects.”
It ignited a fire in her that never stopped burn-ing.
“That energized my spirit to do community activism, to make sure that I’m involved in giving back to the church and civic organizations.”
Her path was sealed as a rising senior in high school with a truly mo-mentous and historic trip.
“The first activity I actually involved myself in was the Civil Rights March in 1963 with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,”
she recalled. “Along with a busload of students, I went to join that march, and that was the most impacting, educational experience that I’ve ever had, seeing the activism and peaceful protest.”
She has continued her work locally, volunteering with a lengthy line of civic and political groups, in-cluding the Fayette Coun-ty Branch of the NAACP, the communications committee for the Fayette

County School System, and the Fayette C.A.R.E. over the years. More re-cently, she has partnered with Piedmont Fayette Hospital to help dissem-inate information to the public, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and she is also involved with the Fayette County History Society and their bicentennial celebration planning.
“Most involvement I’ve had is working with groups that make a differ-ence in somebody’s life, and I feel really good about that,” she said.
Among the many subsets of people she’s volunteered with, Alice finds connect-ing with the youth most rewarding. She currently serves as an advisor to the Fayette County Youth Council NAACP, working to inform teens of their rights as citizens, enhance their economic, educa-tion, social, and political status, engender cooper-ation among people of all race and ethnicity, and stimulate appreciation for the contributions Afri-can-American ancestors have given to the advance-ment of America.
The modern-day Youth
Council offers a variety of committees to dial down deeper on key issues: Education, Communica-tions, Health, Programs & Research, Political Ac-tion/Voter Empowerment, Juvenile Justice, and Eco-nomic Empowerment.
“It blesses my heart to
see young people become progressive and produc-tive citizens and find gainful employment,” she said. “It’s meaningful just seeing something that I’ve shared with them in my life to motivate them, en-courage them to do good.”
It has been a year where
she has seen more and more young people realize the importance of their vote. When a group of local alums returned from col-lege to host a Black Lives Matter march through Fayetteville that drew more than 2,000, Alice was there handing out cards
to people of all colors to help everyone register to vote, along with her other efforts.
“It was a rewarding experience to make phone calls and to hear the voices of happiness and joy from people who voted for the first time in their lives.”
She also takes great pride in helping shepherd the rebirth of Kenwood Park and installation of the Pota Coston memorial there. She is dedicated to keeping it beautiful and recently joined in for a community day cleanup along with Bernie Coston, County Commissioner Charles Rousseau, Fay-ette County Parks and Recreation Director Ani-ta Godbee, and others.
“We don’t just get involved in political stuff, we get involved in community giveback,” she said.
As much as she has accomplished, there is al-ways work to be done, for reconciling with our past, amplifying the beauty in our present, and solidi-fying foundations for our future. Seeing her father in his waning years in a nursing home on a wide range of medications led her to dedicate herself to healthy living. Taking after her grandmother, she cooks clean and eats fresh vegetables. She wants to be here making an impact in her commu-nity for a lot longer.
“This is an exciting moment in my lifetime,” she said. “I’m just pleased to be alive.”

As the regular season ends, every game counts even more. With vital positioning on the line, McIntosh and Whitewater split their region show-down on Feb. 1.
The Lady Chiefs fend-ed off a fierce challenge to pull away for a 58-42 victory in the opener of the night.
McIntosh built up a 15-9 lead after one quarter, but the Cats climbed back into the game, pulling within 15-13 on an Elia Chance bucket. The Chiefs saw the challenge and an-swered with Keara Col-lins stealing the ball and passing to Zara Vaughan who hit an open Bella Duiser for three points.
The ball movement and unselfish play was a hallmark of the Chiefs all night.
“We preach to get the best shot we can on offense. Moving the ball helps to get good shots,” said McIntosh coach Rick Fontaine. “The girls played unselfishly, and it paid off.”
Whitewater kept coming with a 3-pointer from Indya McIntyre and a spinning floater from Leah Smith to make it a 22-21 game, but treys
from Duiser and Vaughan pushed the Chiefs out in front 29-23 at the half.
McIntosh came out of the break refreshed and picked up the pressure. They shook off a long jumper from KT Okonkwo to open the half with a long Vaughan jumper, a dish from Vaughan to a cutting Olivia Henders for two, and a hustle play that saw Becca Lobl rebound her own miss and kick it out to Duiser for three. They grew their lead out to 16 points before Charity
Cloud closed the quarter with a 3-pointer for White-water to make it a 47-34 game.
“The message at the half was to play with inten-sity and work hard on defense,” said Fontaine. “Good defense leads to good offense.”
The Chiefs opened the fourth with points in the paint from Henders and Kourtlin Grant, but an-other Cloud 3-pointer kept it interesting. Henders heated up down low, scor-ing 6 points in the fourth as they salted it away to win 58-42.
Vaughan led the Chiefs with 13 points, and Duiser added 12 points. Col-lins posted 12 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 assists. Henders added her own double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
“We are heading into the playoffs with confi-dence, however, we know we need to play McIntosh basketball to be success-ful,” said Fontaine. “We have a tough region, and anything can happen in the region tournament.”
In the nightcap, the Wildcat boys had to hold on for dear life against a furious rally, but they pulled out a 59-54 win.
Whitewater led by as much as 27 points in the second half, but the
Chiefs kept chipping away. Holding the Cats to just 7 points in the fourth quarter, they got within as close as three late in the game, but the Wild-cats steadied the ship and claimed victory.
“The win was very stressful after playing so well in the first three quarters,” said Whitewa-ter coach Matt Martin. “The key to winning the game was keeping our composure late in the fourth quarter and getting some big defen-sive stops when the game was very close at the end. Making free throws down the stretch also sealed the win for us.”
The road squad made themselves at home right away, jumping out to a 5-0 lead on a Javon Jenkins 3-pointer and a Brenden Coulter base-line bucket. Chandler Ernst got the Chiefs on the board with a three, but it was all Cats the rest of the frame. Coulter closed the first with a buzzer-beater 3-pointer to lead 14-3.
They kept piling on, extending the lead to 19 points with five-straight points from Kyle Curtis on a floater and a trey.
McIntosh tried to grab back a little momentum before the break. With three-tenths of a second on the clock, Ernst lofted an inbounds pass that Brad Grasser tipped in to make it a 29-12 game at halftime.
The third quarter con-tinued in the Cats’ favor, as they used long bombs from Jenkins and Mi-chael Ayuk to swell their lead to 27. The Chiefs slowly started chipping away as Shaun Nichols and Brandon Cheri hit from deep to narrow the gap to 52-31 after three.
They kept the positive momentum going into the final frame, opening with a Theo Elwell block leading to another Cheri three. Logan Brooks add-
ed his own trey, and by the time Evan Gillanders and Nichols each sank a three, the Chiefs were back within four points at 53-49 with 3:10 to play. A Brooks layup made it as close as 54-51 with 90 seconds to play.
With the game in dan-ger of slipping away, the Cats bowed their backs. Miles Lowe hit a pair of free throws to bump the lead back up, and he notched a crucial steal on an inbounds pass, adding another freebie to put the game out of reach.
“McIntosh was doing a good job of pressing us to speed the game up and force bad turnovers and shot selection,” said Mar-tin. “We knew McIntosh was going to make a run at us in the second half, and fortunately we were able to hold them off at the end.”
Jenkins led the way for Whitewater with 20 points, followed by Lowe with 13 and Coulter with 10.
Nichols led the Chiefs off the bench with 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals. Gillanders added 11 points and 5 rebounds.
“The team is playing very good basketball right now heading into the region tournament,” said Martin.
McIntosh, Whitewater split key region battle
BY CHRISTOPHER DUNNFAYETTE COUNTY NEWS
The regular season ended with a bang Friday night, as Whitewater hosted their rivals from Starr’s Mill.
The Lady Wildcats took the opener in a thriller, scoring the winning points in the waning seconds, 45-44.
A tight battle throughout, it came down to the final seconds. Trailing by one point, Whitewater had to improvise. Charity Cloud drove, and her line-drive shot ricocheted off the rim. KT Okonkwo saved the ball just before it could go out of bounds and into Starr’s MIll’s possession, kicking it back to Cloud on the wing. Her second attempt was true, giving the Wild-cats the winner with just 4 seconds on the clock.
The play wasn’t what they drew up, but that is something they practice all the time.
“We tell them in practice all the time, in basketball you can’t be a robot. We may tell them to do some-thing, and it may break down, and you guys have to improvise and just play basketball,” said Whitewa-ter coach Rashad Muhyee. “It was a nail biter. I’m very proud of these girls.”
Both sides were shoot-ing sharp early. Denise Fajardo staked Starr’s Mill to a narrow lead with a 3-pointer, and Whitewater surged ahead 10-7 on a slick spinning layup by Leah Smith. Kalin Blinstrub tied it up with a trey, and Smith answered with her own as the Cats led 13-12 after one quarter.
Smith opened the second with another 3-pointer, but Starr’s Mill pieced together an 11-1 run, keyed by buck-ets from Brooke Godown, Jaclyn Hester, and Anna Kirby. Whitewater broke the slump with an assist from Makaela Khiev to Elia Chance for a three-point play. The defenses
locked in and shutdown scoring the rest of the way as Starr’s Mill led 23-21 at the half.
Hester hit a three, and Godown added a runner as the Panthers pushed ahead by 5 in the third quarter. In needed of an answer, Whitewater turned to Chance, who scored six-straight from the floor.
“Elia is extraordinary,” said Muhyee. “She’s done all the things that don’t show up in the stat book for so long. She’s underrated. She drives to the basket, she makes that 12-foot jumper, and she’s our sec-ond-leading rebounder.”
Lauren Flanders added a bucket to send her Pan-thers into the final frame ahead 35-33.
Starr’s Mill kept pushing, and held a five-point lead at
42-37 off an Addie McDaniel runner high off the glass. Running out of time, the Cats clawed back. A Cloud drive to the hoop, and an Okonkwo bucket made it a one-point game. With 30 seconds left, a Chance steal to an Okonkwo basket gave them their first lead since the first half.
Hester hit a pair of free throws to pull the Pan-thers back ahead 44-43 with 19 seconds left, but they could not prevent Cloud’s buzzer-beater.
Chance led the Wildcats with 14 points, followed by Cloud and Smith with 11 apiece. Okonkwo scored all 6 of her points in the fourth quarter.
Hester led the Panthers with 22, and Godown added 8.
The win bumps the Wild-
cats to 12-10 overall and 5-7 in league play. It marks a remarkable turnaround from last year when the Cats finished just 5-20.
“They best thing about them is they play hard, and they play together. They love each other,” said Muhyee. “They go out and expect to win every time. Because they expect to win, because they think they should win, until that horn goes off, they’re thinking they’ve still got a chance.”
In the boys game, it was the Brandon Allison show as his red-hot shooting led Starr’s Mill to a 71-44 rout.
Allison started hot with 11 points in the first quarter, never cooling off to finish with 31 points on a school record-tying 7 3-pointers.
“We were just waiting for him to step up and do it, and he did it tonight,” Starr’s Mill coach Josh Reeves said of Allison, who is recovering from in-jury and missed time due to a COVID-19 quarantine. “He was awesome.”
Allison scored 11 of the Panthers’s first 15 points, and a Maurice Massey corner 3-pointer and an Antonio Robinson putback staked them to a com-manding 21-7 lead at the end of the first quarter.
It was more of the same in the second as Allison added 8 more to his total, including two more treys to lead 33-17 at the half.
Whitewater came out of the break shooting better. They picked up a Miles Lowe dunk and a CJ Sims trey, but there was little they could do to slow down the Panthers. Allison sank his sixth and seventh 3-pointers in the frame, ty-ing the single-game record set by Elliott Baker earlier this season.
Leading 55-33 heading into the fourth, the Pan-thers put the game out of reach quickly. A thun-derous Robinson putback dunk was the highlight as
they cruised to the 71-44 win.
Following Allison’s 31 were Massey with 11 points and Malachi Townsend with 10. Lowe led the Wildcats with 11 points.
The win moves the Pan-thers to 15-8 overall and 7-5 in region play, bump-ing them into the three-seed where they will host
Northside in round one of the region tourney.
“It felt good to play really well. We struggled (in our last game), so it felt really good be in control of ourselves,” said Reeves. “That’s what I told the boys, make sure you con-trol all the energy, make sure you control your emo-tions, and they did exactly that.”

Fayette County News B1
BY CHRISTOPHER DUNN
Caleb Brown is a study in
contrasts. On the football
field he brought power and
brute force. On the can-
vas, he paints with grace
and finesse, bringing his
subjects to life. The former
Fayette County High Tiger
has found his true calling
as an artist.
At FCHS, Brown was
an All-Region talent for
the Tigers, but the bruis-
ing running back did his
best work outside of the
hashmarks. In the Class
of 2012, he was an honor
graduate and a member of
the National BETA Club,
and he was voted the Most
Outstanding Senior by his
teachers.
He was also a key piece of
the track and field program
under the legendary John
Strickland, even serving as
a captain, and that’s where
some of his fondest memo-
ries were molded.
“My favorite moment
from playing sports at
FCHS was the state track
meet my senior year,” said
Brown. “We were fortunate
enough to take a gang of
athletes — many of whom
were my best friends.”
It was the late Coach
Strickland, who Brown
competed for in both
football and track, who in-
spired his most treasured
piece.“I’m most proud of my
painting of Coach Strick-
land. He was someone who
meant the world to me,”
Brown said. “When he
passed, it hurt. Commem-
orating his legacy through
art was the least I could
do to express my love for
him.”For college, Brown
jumped at the chance
to help forge a legacy,
committing to help build
something special as a key
contributor on the inaugu-
ral football team at Mercer
University.
“Their academic pedi-
gree was attractive,” he
remembered on what drew
him to Mercer. “Addition-
ally, I had an opportunity
to be part of a start-up
football program, and
Macon was relatively close
to home, so my family was
accessible. That meant a lot
to me.”Mercer football meant a
lot of blood, sweat, tears,
and patience. For a full
year, they could do noth-
ing but practice, hitting
teammates as they count-
ed down the days to the
school’s first official game
since 1903.
That first kickoff will
always be special to Brown.
“My favorite moment
from playing football at
Mercer our first game on
Aug. 31, 2013 versus Rein-
hardt University. I’ll never
forget how loud the crowd
was at the first kickoff. My
heart was pounding with
excitement, or fear, I don’t
remember,” he joked.
He was a pivotal fix-
ture on the 10-win team,
running for 334 yards and
eight touchdowns as a red-
shirt freshman in 2013.
“It was a unique expe-
rience. The first year, the
‘practice year,’ we didn’t
play any opponents. We
practiced against one an-
other for a calendar year. It
was extremely tough, but it
molded us. And it’s the rea-
son for our historic success
during the initial season.
We went 10-2, a record for
the most wins for a first-
year program.”
The opportunity to build
the Bears from the ground
up built an unbreakable
bond for many of the team-
mates. “Most of us ‘Day One’
guys are still really close.
In fact (last month), we
hosted an event called
‘Breaking BEARiers,’
a fundraiser aimed at
raising money for African
American communities in
Macon, Ga.,” he said. “In
the wake of George Floyd’s
death, we wanted to do
something to aid the fight
for equality in America.
We’ve raised over $8,000
thus far.”
He graduated from Mer-
cer in 2016 with a bache-
lor’s degree in psychology,
but he found his calling in
the arts.
“I’d always been artisti-
cally inclined; however, I
never considered it an op-
tion, professionally — until
my senior year at Mercer,”
he remembered. “I’d never
painted before. I started
painting in 2015, and, to my
surprise, I had tremendous
early success selling my
work. This success in-
stilled the confidence to go
into business for myself.”
He had always dabbled
in it, but took time to take
a leap of faith. The first
piece he sold was a portrait
of Marvin Gaye that a
classmate bought, and his
passion has only prospered
from there.
“Along with my early
success, I conducted re-
search that revealed other
artists my age who were
doing really well — and
making tons of money.
I’ve always believed the
‘starving artist’ narrative,
so it was refreshing to see
colleagues who were reject-
ing that concept.”
When it’s time to create,
Brown has his methods.
“I love listening to music
while painting. In particu-
lar, I love listening to Gos-
pel music — Kirk Franklin
is my favorite artist. And if
I’m really in the zone, you
catch me singing, loudly.”
The subject of his
portraits, whether it’s a
commissioned painting
of a college athlete like
Jalen Hurts or a tribute to
a legend like Kobe Bryant,
come to life on the canvas
through the strokes of his
brush. It’s allowed him to
amplify important causes
and help give voice to the
voiceless.
He works in acrylics
on canvas most often,
but he’s often branched
out into other mediums,
including custom cleats.
Last season he helped
multiple NFL players dis-
play their passions as part
of the league’s “My Cause
My Cleats” campaign.
Among them was long-
time friend and Sandy
Creek alum Mike Hilton,
who took the field with
the Pittsburgh Steelers
wearing special purple
and green cleats.
“This design aims to
show love and support
to everyone living with
Crohn’s Disease,” Brown
said. “We want you to
know you’re never alone.”
Caleb Brown’s art has
taken him to new heights
and helped him tell the
stories of his subjects.
What his own story says
is still being poured out
on the canvas, each brush
stroke creating a beauti-
ful legacy of creation.

or to contact the artist, go

A murder that went unsolved for decades was finally resolved by a team dedicated to justice, and the journey was recently featured in a special 20/20 event on ABC.
Originally airing on July 17, “In The Cold Dark Night” chronicled the investigation and prosecution of the cold case murder of Timothy Coggins. In October 1983, Coggins was
stabbed, beaten, dragged behind a truck, and left to die in a field in the Sunnyside area of Griffin. At the time, law enforcement quickly dropped the investi-gation of the racially-motivat-ed murder that saw Coggins lynched for fraternizing with a white woman and his family in-timidated in the following days.
Fast forward to 2017 and GBI agent Jared Coleman reviewed the file and followed up with an inmate with knowledge of the murder. Spalding County Sher-
iff Darrell Dix agreed to reopen the case and pursued it along with the GBI, Spalding County Sheriff’s Office, and Spalding County District Attorney’s Office.
District Attorney Marie G. Broder, then the Chief Assistant District Attorney under Ben Coker, is a prominent player in the special. With Coggins’s sto-ry untold for so long, Broder was honored to be a part of telling his tale for the world.
“It was amazing. Tim’s case
was in the dark for so long for so many reasons,” said Broder. “The work that it took to get this case to a jury was incredible, but it was worth the sleepless nights to be part of a team that finally brought it into the light.”
Ineptitude and corruption in the initial investigation made the task that much more diffi-cult. With minimal evidence remaining in the case file, they had to dig in even deeper.
Prosecution of decades old murder featured on ‘20/20’ special

Offering an opportunity to better prepare for an uncertain atmosphere, the Board of Edu-cation voted at a special called meeting to bump the start of the 2020-21 school year back another week to Aug. 17.
The school year was originally scheduled to start Aug. 3 before a previous move to Aug. 10.
Additionally, the BOE voted to start in a hybrid model for families that choose the brick and mortar option if community
spread numbers allow it. Citing a lower risk of trans-
mission for younger children, kindergarten through second grade students will be in school for face-to-face learning five days a week, while students in grade 3 through 12 will be an on alternating schedule where they are in school two days a week and learning virtually the rest of the week.
The goal is to have special needs students in the school building as often as is feasi-ble and to transition grades 3 through 5 to in-person learning
when it can be done safely. If community spread num-
bers among student ages tick higher, they could still switch to the red online-only model for all schools. At any given time, different schools could also be under different models.
“If the data is screaming at us, we’re not going to ignore it,” said Superintendent Dr. Jody Barrow.
Face coverings will be re-quired within the school build-ings for everyone outside of kindergarten students.
Barrow noted that they will de-
velop protocols for breaks from mask wearing.
“I know some people don’t want to (wear masks). If that’s the case, maybe the virtual op-tion will be the best.”
To aid parents that have rethought their choice or who did not vote previously, the survey was reopened for a short window. Through July 15, 76.8 percent of parents who took the survey indicated a preference for the brick and mortar option.
The current re-entry plan can be downloaded on the school system’s website at fcboe.org.
The school system will post flyers around the schools reminding students and staff to stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
School year start bumped back to Aug. 17

What will be your vot-ing options in November? With less than 90 days to go before the federal elec-tion, the number of voting options still remain unde-cided.
In June, the secretary of state automatical-ly mailed everyone in the state an absentee ballot because of the pandemic, but less than three months before the election, it appears that no firm decisions have been made on the voting options.
Fayette County Elec-tions Director Floyd Jones said he has not received any guidance from the secretary of state’s office yet on the voting options. Officials at the secretary of state office said it’s highly unlikely the absen-tee ballots will be mailed to everyone.
He did say there is one way a voter can access an absentee/vote by mail ballot. Interested voters should go to map.sos.ga.gov/MVP/mvp.do and fill out an application for an absentee/vote by mail ballot.
Early voting for the election runs from Oct. 12-Oct. 30.

In a year that has seen tensions boil over around the nation following the death of George Floyd in police custody, local students have taken their stands in protest with the support of area law enforcement. The discussions continued July 31 with a student-led town hall at Southern Ground Amphitheater dubbed “Community Conversation About Policing and Race.”
A trio of students were the driving force
behind the town hall. Starr’s Mill alum and current Texas A&M student Tori Davis served as moderator, Starr’s Mill alum Douglass Morris II was the em-cee, and current McIntosh High student Kaitlyn Hood, who organized a march in Peachtree City earlier this summer, served as announcer.
They assembled the top figures in local law enforcement (Sheriff Barry Babb, Peachtree City Police Chief Janet Moon, Fayetteville Police Chief Scott Gray,
