Archer gathering
DREW DAVIS / Staff
Archers from as far away as Canada and even Australia gathered at Odum this past weekend for the fourth annual Chinese Archery Program hosted by Jaap and Kay Koppedrayer.
At right, Jaap Koppedrayer demonstrates how he makes arrows out of bamboo, which he
uses heat to straighten. Above, Justin Ma, left, and Jie Tian listen at Piney Grove Community Center as Kay Koppedrayer lectures on what Confucian philosophy can teach archers.
(For example, “A gentleman does not grieve that people do not recognize his merits; he
grieves at his own incapacities.”) Tian and Ma inspired the annual local program with their
translation of The Way of Archery, a 17th-century manual by Ming Dynasty author Gao Ying.

THE P-S OPINION

Deal made good
decision with veto
Nathan Deal did right by the state of Georgia
when he vetoed a “religious freedom” bill Monday.
Conservative Republicans in the General Assembly had insisted on some kind of bill this
session, and the one that passed was seen as a
compromise to avoid something even more controversial.
Under the bill, people claiming that their religious freedoms were being burdened could have
forced state and local officials to prove a “compelling” interest in enforcing laws that conflict
with their beliefs. As summed up by Associated
Press reporter Kathleen Foody, it “also would
have protected clergy who decline to perform
gay marriages, businesses that turn away customers for religious reasons, and churches and
affiliated religious groups that cite faith as a
reason for refusing to serve or hire someone.”
In announcing his veto, though, Deal said he
could “find no examples that any of the things
this bill seeks to protect us against have ever occurred in Georgia.”
In addition, supporters of the bill refused to
add an anti-discrimination clause to the bill,
even though state law provides no protections
on the basis of sexual orientation and gender
identity. (The bill was spurred by the U.S.
Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing gay marriage
last year.)
In light of this background, Georgia’s reputation as a welcoming and business-friendly state
has started to be questioned. In particular, numerous business groups had mobilized against
the bill. The NFL had warned that Atlanta’s
Super Bowl bid could be threatened by the law.
Technology firms had asked that the bill be vetoed, and the Walt Disney Company, Marvel
Studios and dozens of Hollywood figures had
pledged to boycott the state if the bill became
law.
In vetoing the bill, Deal said, “I do not think
that we have to discriminate against anyone to
protect the faith-based community in Georgia.”
He also said, “If indeed our religious liberty is
conferred by God and not by manmade government, we should heed the ‘hands-off ’ admonition of the First Amendment to our Constitution. When legislative bodies attempt to do
otherwise, the inclusions and omissions in their
statues can lead to discrimination, even though
it may be unintentional. That is too great a risk
to take.”
Though at odds with his party’s leadership in
the state legislature, Deal’s veto has received
praise from a wide variety of sources.
“The Georgia Chamber agrees with Gov. Deal’s
thoughtful reasoning to veto HB757,” Board
Chair Hank Linginfelter said. “While we thank
members of the General Assembly for their efforts to find a balanced approach, we believe
this action ensures that Georgia continues to be
a welcoming state to live and do business.”
And the Georgia Democratic Party’s communications director, Michael Smith, said, “We
commend Gov. Deal on his decision to reject this
discriminatory legislation. Leaders from both
sides of the aisle and the business community,
as well as the countless Georgians who spoke
against the politics of exclusion, also deserve a
great deal of thanks for standing firm in the belief that our state is better off when we all have
full and equal protection under the law.
“For Georgia to move forward, no one can be
left behind. The full promise of tomorrow belongs to all of us, and it is up to all of us to ensure that this promise is within every Georgian’s reach.”
So the governor has protected Georgia’s reputation and economy by vetoing an ill-advised bill
that solved a nonexistent problem. He deserves
a pat on the back for standing up for Georgians’
interests.

DINK
NeSMITH
Chairman
Tick, tick, tick.
For 77 days. The clock has been
ticking since the general public
learned Republic Services intends to
make Wayne County a national
guinea pig for dumping this much
toxic coal ash in one spot. The slick
slip-it-in-the-backdoor maneuver
started on Jan. 4 with an application, in the name of Central Virginia
Properties, LLC, to the Corps of Engineers. The Phoenix-based wastemanagement company was then
mum, hoping the 30-day public-comment period would elapse before
anyone noticed.
Nine days into the 30 days, your newspaper rang the
alarm bell. Just as Republic wooed our officials with its
sneaky, silver tongue in 2005, Wayne County was about
to get snookered—again. Without Neill Herring’s
telling Derby Waters what was up, Republic would have
been toasting its strategy on Feb. 4.
As we now know, coal ash is toxic, containing dangerous heavy metals such as mercury, lead, beryllium and
arsenic. While lobbyists for coal-fired plants negotiated
to get coal ash labeled non-hazardous, we should find no
comfort in the EPA’s ruling. When people and the environment are at risk, we need pit bulls, not lapdogs, on
safety patrol. The regulations should tilt in favor of the
people, not the polluters.
Thanks to the public outcry, along with strong support from Sen. Johnny Isakson, Sen. David Perdue and
Rep. Buddy Carter, the Corps has given the public two
extensions for comments. Still, there are dozens of
unanswered questions. Now, there should be another
extension to include a separate Corps-sponsored hearing. Wayne County has a right to know.
Unless the Corps grants an extension, the deadline
for submitting your comments is next week, April 5.
Here’s what I wrote:
fied. Jesup and Wayne County do not want its
wetlands destroyed so that Republic Services can
install a massive rail spur. I am grateful you were
at the public meeting to hear the local voices, too.
Wetlands are a crucial part of our ecosystem,
and what Republic has in mind will be devastating to our environment. The Broadhurst Environment Landfill is in a precarious location near the
Little Penholloway Creek, which drains into the
Penholloway Creek, which flows into the Altamaha River, which empties into the Atlantic
Ocean. Toxic pollutants will go into our streams
and groundwater if this rail spur is permitted.
Our air quality will be at risk, too.
Hundreds of families in Wayne County drink
shallow-well water because they can’t afford deep
wells. There is no way to candy-coat Republic’s
100-railcars-of-toxic-coal-ash-per-day plan to turn
our community into a trash bin for America. Destruction of the 25 acres of wetlands will be a
monumental and tragic step toward turning our
county into an environmental prostitute.
I know your major concern is the wetlands
issue. But if you approve this permit, the consequences—intended and unintended—cannot be ignored. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers holds
our health and our future in its hands. We are a
rural county, a David, up against a multibilliondollar conglomerate, a Goliath. Please, hear our
pleas. Deny Central Virginia Properties, LLC’s application.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dink NeSmith

OPINION
Youth in Community Summit
(Editor’s note: April Lee is
the 2016 Youth in Community
Summit program organizer and
the Wayne
County
school system’s parent
mentor.)
A student
drops out of April
school every Lee
24 seconds.
According to research, students who drop out of school
are more than twice as likely
than high school graduates to
slip into poverty in a single
year and three times more
likely than college graduates
to be unemployed (Silent Epi-
demic, 2004).
All students need opportunities for meaningful conversations with school faculty, community members and family
members about what impacts
their success in school. These
conversations assist students
as they develop a vision for
their future so they develop
skills needed to reach their
goals.
The Wayne County High
School C.A.F.E. (Circle of
Adults Focusing on Education)
is working to eliminate high
school dropout by engaging
family and community members in initiatives to encourage all students to graduate.
Students are working with the
Wayne County High School
C.A.F.E. and with Family Connection partners to plan the
fourth annual (2016) Youth in
Community Summit, addressing the barriers that students
face in reaching success.
At this year’s summit, student leaders (those who have
been asked to lead the workshops) will support their peers
in engaging in conversations
and activities intended to prepare participants to plan
ahead to the relationships,
connections and actions necessary for them to be successful
in their career or college
choice. The sessions that students will participate in address these topics: financial
planning (practicing banking
skills, planning for positive
credit, and protecting their
identity), distracted driving
with community-action opportunities, benefits of expanding
personal opportunities, expressing oneself through effective communication, cooperation versus competition,
conflict resolution, and service
learning to assist students
with literacy.
The Youth in Community
Summit provides for positive
interaction among the students and their community,
which results in an improved
quality of student learning.
This is a student-led conference, with past success in providing training sessions on
leadership skills and soft
skills that enable students to
handle situation and communicate more effectively. When
students develop goals and a
vision, they will have a
greater likelihood of making
an intentional decision to stay
in school and graduate on
time. The skills they learn will
further motivate them to
choose higher education and
further contribute to the economic well-being of our community.
Our youth summit is scheduled for April 22 from 8 a.m. to
noon at Coastal Pines Technical College. If you would like
additional details or wish to
partner with WCHS for this or
future events, please contact
Bo Adams, WCHS principal,
at 427-1096.
Lawmakers don’t follow the clock
Georgia legislators have some
problems when it comes to
telling time.
This weakness has been evident for decades and was most
famously displayed in the 1964
General Assembly session, when
lawmakers were trying to redraw the state’s congressional
districts.
On the last night of the session, the House of Representatives was debating a redistricting bill as midnight neared.
That was an important deadline
because the Georgia Constitution allows the General Assembly to convene for only 40 days.
Rep. Denmark Groover, a wily
lawyer from Middle Georgia,

My Opinion
▼▼▼
The same
issues of
time and a
40-day limit
have
cropped up
in the past
two legislative sessions.
Last year,
the Senate
TOM
extended a
CRAWFORD
debate after
Columnist
the midnight
deadline as senators considered
a bill granting a lucrative tax
break for Mercedes-Benz executives. It was well after 12o’clock
–after the 40th day of the session had ended—before senators
finally voted on the bill.
The problem was even worse
this year. As the midnight hour
rolled around on the final day,
there were numerous bills still
awaiting votes.
House Speaker David Ralston
decided there really wasn’t a
problem after all. At 11:48 p.m.,
he announced to the House: “We
have been advised by legislative
counsel that we do not have to
end at midnight. We’re gonna go
a little past midnight.”
Legislators once again ignored
their legal deadline and continued to vote on bills for another
30 minutes before adjourning.
March 24 was designated as
Day 40 of the session. Most people would agree that March 24
ended at midnight, at which
point March 25 began. The Legislature thus was voting on bills
during the 41st day of the session, which is supposedly prohibited by the state constitution.
Obviously, legislators weren’t
going to let silly things like
“clocks” or “calendars” or “constitutional limitations” keep them
from voting.
Some of the lawmakers also
weren’t going to worry about
such antiquated concepts as
“ethical conduct.”
Near the end of the session,
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
broke the story that Rep. John
Meadows (R-Calhoun) was trying to get a bill passed that
would require insurance agents
to be paid a minimum 5 percent
commission when they sold
March is Developmental Disabilities Month
By June DiPolito
(Editor’s note: June DiPolito is
the executive director of Pineland
Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities.)
Approximately 4.6 million
Americans are living with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). More than 145,000
adults in Georgia have some
form of intellectual or developmental disability.
In 1987, President Ronald
Reagan declared March Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Month. In Georgia, Gov. Nathan
Deal also signed an annual
proclamation of March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Month. Gov. Deal made a presentation of his proclamation at
the capitol on Feb. 18 for the
18th annual Disability Day,
pledging his support for making
a difference for citizens with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
In his address, Gov. Deal
stated, “This is our goal: We
want people who can live in real
communities with real homes
with real careers and with real
learning opportunities. I am now
privileged to present to you a
proclamation recognizing this
special occasion. It is a proclamation for Developmental Disabilities Awareness. Your theme
this year—I am told—is ‘disability vote, feel the power.’ That is
an appropriate theme to have in
this election-year cycle. I would
encourage all of you to register
to vote and then to use that
power to vote in primaries and
at the general election.”
Pineland Behavioral Health
and Developmental Disabilities
wants to help raise awareness of
the needs of our citizens with
disabilities. This is an opportunity to promote the abilities of
individuals with intellectual or
developmental disabilities. Our
goal at Pineland is to increase
awareness and promote independence, integration and inclusion
of all people with disabilities. We
want to empower the individuals
we serve through a systematic
framework of long-term supports
that enables them to live as independently as possible.”
In Wayne County, services for
individuals with intellectual and
developmental disabilities are
offered through Wayne Service
Center. The Wayne program of-
fers a wide array of services in
the community, home and facility. Residential services are offered for our individuals living
in Wayne County as well as
throughout Pineland’s eightcounty service area. Individuals
with IDD may also be eligible for
family-support services, which
include the purchasing of goods
and services to address their
specific disability needs.
Disability Awareness Month
offers the chance to strengthen
our commitment to provide opportunity and growth for people
with disabilities. Our belief that
“inclusion is within everyone’s
ability” helps to remind us that
our lives are richer when we
open our minds and hearts to
those with different perspectives
and experiences.
Anyone needing services or
wanting to volunteer and give
support can call locally 427-4491
or toll-free 800-Pineland.
Pineland’s Board members for
Wayne County—Nancy Robertson and Nick Ellis—encourage
local efforts to increase awareness of needs of citizens with
disabilities and to support all of
Pineland services.

health plans.
Meadows, the powerful chairman of the House Rules Committee, happens to be an insurance agent. There are rules that
provide a legislator can refrain
from voting if he or she would
possibly benefit from a bill.
Meadows didn’t do this. He
voted with other House members
to pass the agents’ commission
bill.
Before the Senate could consider the measure, the story
about Meadows’ conflict of interest hit the newspapers. Senators
backed off from voting on the
bill, and it failed to pass.
Another legislator with a potential conflict of interest was
Sen. Renee Unterman (R-Buford). She works for an insurance company that holds a lucrative contract with the state to
provide managed-care services
for Medicaid patients.
The state budget that provides
the money to pay Unterman’s
employer came up for a vote
twice in the Senate. Unterman
did not excuse herself—she
voted for it both times.
These episodes all illustrate
the arrogance that persons can
acquire when they serve in the
General Assembly for a longenough time to accumulate political clout.
You get so used to lobbyists’
begging you to pass bills that
you start feeling special and
privileged. You believe that you
don’t have to comply with the
rules and laws–those things only
apply to ordinary people.
That’s how you end up with
legislative sessions where constitutions are violated, ethical
lapses are laughed at, and corruption sets in.
As retiring lawmakers made
their good-bye speeches on the
final day of the session, Rep. Al
Williams (D-Midway) delivered
the most accurate summation of
the current legislative ethos.
“I’m not leaving,” Williams
said, “but I will accept the right
package.”

Are our officials
prepared to act?
Citizens of Wayne County, from
the looks of it, our officials are
prepared to talk about their opposition to rail spurs and coal ash,
but are they prepared to act?
At this time, hope is placed in
the Corps of Engineers to deny
the Section 404 wetlands permit,
thus derailing the rail spur and
halting the contaminating coalash dumping. The local officials
would claim victory, for the moment, without having to actually
cross Republic Services in any
meaningful way.
Of course, the infamous 2005
agreement will still be in full
force, and after a period of woundlicking we could expect a revised
proposal from Republic. Too much
money is on the line here to expect an immediate once-and-forever victory, even if the Corps
wisely yields to the multitude of
concerns laid out at the March 16
public meeting. This is corporate
environmental terrorism. Poisoning any community is criminal.
We must be preparing a next
move.
I do not want to hear our elected
officials say that they “are opposed to the ash, but there is
nothing we can do. Our hands are
bound by this contract.” This is
lazy, this is shortsighted, and this
is absolutely incorrect. Look up
the Official Code of Georgia, Title
36, Chapter 30, Section 3. The ordinances—and by extension contracts—entered into by one commission are not binding upon
later commissions. This has been
a feature of Georgia law since
1882, and it’s not going anywhere.
Whatever the 2005 agreement
says, the people of this county are
not bound to give this corporation
everything they want for forever.
And if our so-called county legal
counsel says otherwise, hire better counsel. I have no respect for
a contract that was clearly drawn
up to fleece this county.
If and when it comes time for
this county commission to consider granting a Section 16-56(c)
wetlands permit, all the commission has to do is vote “No.” In
2004, the large waste company
BFI took DeKalb County to court.
They wanted to expand the landfill. At a public hearing, the people with one voice said, “No.” Does
that voice have force of law? Yes.
“These concerns reveal that, as
a matter of law, it was rational for
defendants to believe that denying the applications would serve
the legitimate public purposes of
protecting the health and safety
of DeKalb County citizens.” A federal judge says yes.
This is no time to let down our
guard. Toxic-waste disposal is a
multibillion-dollar industry. Recently, the Department of Energy
launched a “Consent Based Approach” to develop new, permanent, nuclear-waste disposal
sites. Look it up on energy.gov.
Our elected officials have fallen
for “development” snake-oil sales
pitches in the past. We are situated close to three nuclear facilities and would be prime targets
for this new DOE initiative if this
coal-ash dumping is not stopped
now.
We are awake. We will not tolerate any more weak-willed or
weak-minded “leadership.” We
must protect Wayne County, Ga.

STATE HOUSE REPORT
▼▼▼
Legislative session ends with long days
On Thursday, March 24,
the 2016 legislative session came to an end when
the House and Senate
completed
the
40th
and
final
legislative
day. The last
two
days
went past
midnight as
we tried to BILL
get every- WERKHEISER
thing done. State House,
House Bill District 157
751, which
establishes
the state budget for Fiscal
Year 2017, set the largest
budget in our state’s history at $23.7 billion, an increase of $673.9 million
over the amended FY2016
budget. It is interesting to
note that with Georgia’s
massive
population
growth, even though the
budget is the highest, the
budget per capita is at the
1998 level—which shows
how conservative this legislature is.
There were increases for
health and human-service
providers; salary adjust-
ments for K-12 teachers,
pre-K teachers, bus drivers, nutrition workers
and school nurses; and
salary increases for publichealth nurses, sworn lawenforcement officers and
other critical positions to
address retention issues.
HB 751 appropriates more
than half of the annual
budget for education
spending, where local
school boards will not only
be able to give salary increase, but will also have
the ability to eliminate
furlough days or increase
classroom
instruction
days for education. The
final version of HB 751
also adds important funding for public safety,
health care and transportation, all while keeping our state’s total debt
low and our“rainy day
funds” high and maintaining our AAA bond rating.
Senate Bill 18 establishes new policies within
the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) to
allow active-duty military
or veteran students to obtain academic credit for
previous
college-level
learning attained prior to
their enrollment. SB 18
would require any institution within TCSG to grant
academic credit for college-level learning accomplished before enrollment
and would apply only to
training and experience
obtained through military
service that was substantially related to the coursework credit given by the
TCSG.
SB 329 would award a
high school diploma to students who complete college dual-credit course
work and have earned certification to work in an “inneed” industry as determined by the State Board
of the Technical College
System of Georgia. The
State Board would work
with Georgia industry associations, the Georgia Department of Labor and
other
state-recognized
strategic workforce industries and initiatives.
SB 348 would provide
increased opportunities
for Georgia’s students by
simplifying the process to
create a college and career
academy. A college and career academy operates as
a partnership and collaboration among businesses,
high schools and postsecondary institutions to advance workforce development and work-based
learning programs for its
students to prepare them
for college and the workplace. SB 348 would allow
local school systems to create a college and career
academy as part of a contract to act as a strategicwaiver school system,
which operates under the
direction of a partnership
between the State Department of Education and the
local school system, or as a
charter school system.
SB 230 would waive licensing requirements for
volunteer health practitioners from participating
states to allow those volunteers to assist with
medical needs in the event
of a natural disaster or
during a state of emergency, even if those volunteers are not residents of
Georgia. Volunteer health
practitioners would be eligible to provide health and
veterinary services provided that they are registered with a volunteer
health practitioner registration system, have a license to practice medicine
in their home state, and
are in good standing in the
state where they are licensed.
Senate Bill 304, the
“Pursuing Justice for
Rape Victims Act,” unanimously passed the House
to outline proper protocol
and requirements for
recording and reporting
evidence collected during
a forensic medical evaluation for investigations of
rape. Forensic medical examiners would be required to notify law-enforcement officials of this
evidence, and law-enforcement officers would then
have 96 hours to collect
the kit once the exam is
completed. After collecting
the kit, law-enforcement
officials would then have
30 days to submit the evidence to the proper division, where records of all
evidence and kits collected
would be kept. This legislation was written in response to the backlog of
rape-kit evidence in hospitals, clinics and law-enforcement
agencies
throughout Georgia.
Now that these bills
have passed both the
House and Senate, and
the General Assembly’s
2016 legislative session
has adjourned sine die,
the future of these bills are
currently in the hands of
Gov. Deal. As stipulated in
our state constitution, the
governor has 40 days to
sign or veto the legislation.
This means that any bill
or resolution that the governor has not vetoed by
May 3 will become state
law in the coming months.
Although the session is
over, I hope that you will
continue to contact me
with any questions or concerns that you might have
regarding your state government. I can be reached
at

“A weekly trip to the
farmers market is one of
the best ways to connect
with where your food
comes from,” market
manager Debbie Pye
says. “Meeting and talking to the local farmers
and artisan vendors is a
great opportunity to
learn more about how
and where your food is
produced. Farmers at the
market have a wealth of
knowledge, and many of
our vendors are passionate cooks with plenty of
free advice about how to
prepare the foods they
are selling at the market,
sometimes giving out
recipes and taste samples.”
Because
April
is
Strawberry Month, the
market will be offering
various
strawberry
recipes with taste samples.
“A fun way to get your
children involved at the
farmers market and
eating more veggies is
to have them choose
their fruits and vegetables,” Pye said. “Encourage them to find a fruit
and vegetable from
every color of the rainbow. Give your children
a couple of dollars, and
let them spend it on the
items they choose. I noticed several families
that shopped on a
weekly basis doing this
with their children last
year.
“This year we will
have a children’s produce stand (Fruit 4
Kids) where children
can come each week and
choose a fruit. We will
also have a children’s
corner with jump ropes,
hula hoops and a cornhole box. So bring the
children for a fun farmers-market experience.”
In addition to the various goods for sale, the
Farmers Market will
also have giveaway

Easter clothes
By Rev. Kathy
Israel-McLeod
EPWORTH UNITED
METHODIST CHURCH
Easter was Sunday.
Have we packed up our
alleluias as quickly as
we pack up our Christmas lights after Christmas?
The women came to
the tomb on that first
Easter Sunday and were
greeted by two men in
dazzling white clothes.
The stone was rolled
away, not to mention the
tomb was empty!
Easter morning, alleluias and resurrection;
how could they comprehend all of these amazing events all at once?
Two men, + dazzling
white clothes, + stone
rolled away, + empty
tomb, = resurrection.
Right. Easy math for us
generations later, but
not so easy for that
group of ladies who
were the first witnesses
to the Lord’s resurrection.
Also, they were the
first preachers and proclaimers of the Gospel.
Even if they were unsure of what they had
seen and heard, they believed enough to go and
tell the disciples that
the tomb was empty and
Jesus had risen. The
disciples didn’t trust
what they had heard, so
they ran to see for themselves what the women
proclaimed to them.
We trust and believe
in the resurrection of
Jesus Christ but take it
for granted. We are not
excited, like the women
or the disciples, to run
and share the news.
How many of us take
time to ponder how the
resurrection is possible?
I don’t mean in a scientific hypothesis, but the
abundance of love,
grace, and mercy. Do we
try and understand how
the resurrection of
Christ changed all of
eternity? How different
are we who live as children of a risen Lord
compared to those who
don’t? (Not different
enough.)
How can we sustain
our excitement and joy
about an empty tomb
and resurrected Savior?
I think the answer is
contained in the story of
that first Easter Sunday. If we have heard
the story, no matter how
many times, we are
called just like the
women and disciples to
witness to what we have
heard and believed. It is
the challenge and gift to
testify to others about
the Easter story.
Where do we find our
voice when we are
afraid someone might
say that is an idle tale?
Through
the
Holy
Spirit, of course, but
also with new clothes. If
you didn’t get new
clothes for Easter this
year, you may have in
the past. In the early
Church those being baptized were given new
clothes to wear, because
being made new in
Christ, they could not
wear old clothes.
We wear new clothes
on
Easter
because
everything has been
made new through the
resurrection of Christ.
Maybe if we wear those
new clothes, they could
be a tangible reminder
of the Easter story, that
we are called to testify
to not just Easter Sunday but every time we
wear those new clothes.
We are not likely to pack
them away this week
until next Easter.
Imagine that every
time we wear them
being filled with joy and
excitement to go and
testify to someone about
a tomb that is still
empty and an amazing
story of a risen Savior.

Be aware of Zika risks,
advises health commissioner
Brenda Fitzgerald, M.D.,
the commissioner of the
Georgia Department of
Public Health and the State
health officer, is informing
the public as to her concerns about the Zika virus
infection.
According to Fitzgerald,
many popular spring break
destinations throughout the
Caribbean, Central America, South America, the Pacific
Islands
and
Mexico have outbreaks
of Zika virus. The Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has issued
Zika
travel
notices with recommendations for travelers to these
destinations.
“Because Zika virus is
primarily spread by mosquitoes, travelers to any
destination with Zika outbreaks should protect themselves from mosquito bites,”
Fitzgerald advises.
So far, no locally transmitted Zika cases have
been reported in Georgia or
anywhere in the United
States, but cases have been
reported in returning travelers.
Zika virus is transmitted
primarily through the bite
of infected Aedes species
mosquitoes, which can be
found in Georgia. Sexual
transmission of Zika has
also be documented.
“Pregnant women should
not travel to areas where
there is ongoing Zika virus
transmission because of a
link between Zika virus and
birth defects. Studies are
under way to determine if
there is a connection between Zika virus infection
and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and other serious neurological disorders,” Fitzgerald said.
Upon returning home
from travel to Zika-affected
countries,
individuals
should continue to use EPAregistered insect repellents
for three weeks and follow
precautions to prevent additional mosquito bites,
medical authorities advise.
The mosquitoes that
spread Zika bite mostly
during the daytime and
tend to live around homes.
They breed in containers so
removing anything that
holds water or dumping out
standing water around the
home after it rains will help
reduce the number of these
mosquitoes.

Man finds no road but deep, cold water
Friday night didn’t end
too well for a Jesup man
who drove his truck into
a pond at Bill Morris
Park while apparently
looking for a road that
isn’t there.
Thomas Drennon Jr.
told police that he was
attempting to find a road
that would connect the
back side of Bill Morris
Park
with
Hinson
Mosley Road. He said he
drove his Ford F150
pickup into a pond.
He said the water continued to get deeper as
he attempted to drive
out of the pond.
When the truck’s engine failed, Drennon was
able to open his door and
swim to shore. The
Arrive Alive
water, according to the
police incident report,
was over the front of the
hood of the truck.
The truck was recovered from the pond.
Drennon,
who
was
soaked and cold, was
evaluated by Wayne
County EMS and released at the scene.

The Arrive Alive program visited Wayne County High School this month. This
safe-driving initiative encouraged students, particularly juniors and seniors, to
practice safe driving. Students had the opportunity to participate in both texting-while-driving and drinking-while-driving simulations. Students also learned
various statistics concerning driving while distracted, and they answered a survey about their personal experiences while behind the wheel. After completing
the simulations, students received a citation listing their infractions and a picture to document their experience. Elsie Johnson participates in the simulation.
ATTENTION ALL WAYNE COUNTY VEHICLE OWNERS
All vehicle owners must renew their tags by their birthday. This can be done up to 45
days ahead of your birthday. If your vehicle is titled in a business name, it is due based
on the business name by the end of the month: January for businesses beginning with A
or B, February for C or D, etc.
YOU WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE A COURTESY RENEWAL NOTICE IN THE MAIL.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PURCHASE YOUR TAG BY THE DUE DATE.
December and January renewals were not issued due to the state’s vendor 3iling
bankruptcy. Many vehicle owners now pay only $20 annually for their tag. $19 goes to
the State of Georgia and $1 is retained by Wayne County. It is no longer economically
feasible to provide this courtesy billing so we are trying to save taxpayer dollars.

AWMS’s soccer teams sweep conference championships
STAFF REPORT
Wayne County’s middle
school soccer teams
reigned supreme on the
pitch on Saturday in
Blackshear in the Southeast Georgia Middle
School Conference finals.
Both
the
Arthur
Williams Middle School
boys’ and girls’ teams
claimed championship
titles, and the Martha
Puckett Middle boys finished as runners-up. The
MPMS girls also had a
good run in the tournament, falling to AWMS in
overtime in the semifinals 2-0.
Girls’ play
The AWMS girls beat
Pierce Middle 2-0 for the
title.
“The girls came out
and played a fantastic
game,” said AWMS coach
Jean Adams. “Especially
after a hard-fought win
in the semifinals against
Martha Puckett. They
dug deep and found the
heart to pull this
through and played like
the champions they are.
I am so proud of these
girls and their level of
play as well as their
standards of excellence
both on and off the field.
The girls have demonstrated sportsmanship
and honor as they have
played this season, as
well as a huge dose of
courage. I am humbled
and honored to be their
coach and more proud of
them than words can ex-
press.”
AWMS scored in the
first five minutes of play.
Arabia Easley scored the
first goal off a beautiful
assist by Kaylee Czech.
She also scored the second goal in the second
half on a free kick that
put the ball in the back
of the net.
On defense, Pierce
Middle took roughly
three shots on goal, and
goalie Stephanie Tirado
had two saves for the
day. AWMS took roughly
seven shots on the Pierce
County goal. The girls
passed well and just
came out strong. The
second score of the game
came late in the second
half on a free kick taken
by Czech, who put the
ball in the back of the
net.
“It was a tough game,
but the AWMS girls
came out strong,” said
Adams.
The AWMS girls advanced to the championship game with a 2-0
win over MPMS.
The game was a hardfought defensive battle
on both sides. By the end
of regulation play, the
score was tied at 0-0.
MPMS
had
taken
roughly three shots on
goal and AWMS only
seven.
The game moved to
overtime with two fiveminute periods. The
AWMS girls scored in the
first five-minute overtime on a breakaway by
Easley off a through ball
from Chloe Drury, who
recorded the assist. The
second AWMS score
came in the second fiveminute overtime from a
free kick by Czech that
was placed perfectly in
the MPMS goal.
“The girls came out
hard and played with
heart and courage,” said
Adams. “They did not
stop. They controlled the
ball and kept the pressure on. The girls pushed
and gave it all they had.
I am completely humbled by these girls and
their level of play. They
pulled together as a
team, passed well and
never backed down.”
MPMS
coach
Dee
Dolan said he was
pleased with the season
for his girls.
“Overall, it was a great
season for us,” said
Dolan. “The girls gave it
their all and pushed
AWMS to the very end.”
For the season, MPMS
finished with a 9-4
record. The team scored
37 goals and allowed
only seven.
Boys’ play
The boys’ final was an
all-Wayne County affair
as AWMS took a 3-2 win
over MPMS.
“I can’t express how
proud I am of the team,”
said
coach
Candice
Boyette. “I knew this
team was something special the very first time
they stepped on the field.
They were a true team
since day one, always
having each other’s back.

Vanderveen and Juan Flores.
the high school will truly
be missed, but always remember ‘the tree.’”
AWMS started the
game with the first goal
by captain Pharaoh
Spellman on a run-in.
The second goal of the
game was made by
AWMS’s other captain,
David Tirado, on a perfectly placed free kick.
Trailing 2-0, MPMS
narrowed the gap right
before the half with a
score by MPMS captain
Juan Flores off an assist
by Ki Riddle, putting the
game at 2-1 at the midway point.
“We played a very
strong passing game the
first half with a very
strong performance by
goalie Graham Welch,”
said Boyette.
MPMS came out in second half with a strong offensive game, taking
multiple shots on goal.
However, AWMS’s Spellman struck with his second goal of the day
putting the score 3-1 in
AWMS’s favor.
With about four minutes to play in the game,
MPMS’s Flores lofted a
corner kick to Olin
Oliver, who scored to
bring the game to 3-2.
MPMS then became an
offensive
machine,
pounding AWMS goalie
Welch with shot after
shot, but was unsuccessful as the AWMS defensive line stayed strong.
The AWMS defensive
line was led by Beau
Chancey, Preston Bennett, Kasey Morales,
Juan Aguliar. Also stepping back to provide
more help were David
Lawson and captain
Dylan Hargrove.
“We came out sluggish
at the start of the game,
but by the end of the first
half we started playing
better and really had our
passing game going,”
said MPMS coach Jessica Oliver.
AWMS reached the
championship game with
a 4-1 semifinal win over
boys over Pierce Middle
and a 3-0 win over Ware
Middle.
The Pierce game was
very intense and ended

Jackets down Brantley High in the bottom of the seventh
STAFF REPORT
The WCHS Jacket varsity baseball team outlasted the Brantley High
Herons after seven lead
changes on Monday,
squeaking out an 8-7 win
at Howard “Bo” Warren
Field.
“Proud of the way our
guys battled tonight,”
said coach Justin McDonald. “We looked like
a team that hasn’t
played in seven days, but
I am proud of how we
overcame
adversity.
Great team win against
a quality opponent.”
With the score tied 7-7,
Walker Reddish pitched
the seventh inning, and
the Jackets scored in the
bottom of the seventh,
which gave him his first
win on the mound. Ford
Townsend started the
game pitching, and Zach
Mainor and Brooks
Parker pitched in relief.
Combined,
Jacket
pitchers gave up seven
runs off six hits and an
error. They struck out 13
and walked five. The
Herons also aided the
Jackets with five errors.
Brantley jumped out to
an early 2-0 lead in the
first off Townsend. However, the Jackets (10-3,
2-0) answered in the bottom of the first off a single by Mason Robertson
and Christian Ruff ’s
being hit by a pitch.
Caleb
Martin
and
Townsend each hit a sac-
rifice fly ball to tie the
game at 2-2.
The Jackets took their
first lead in the second
inning off singles by
Kaden Keith, Brooks
Parker and Robertson.
In the game, Robertson
would go 4-for-5 at that
plate with two RBIs.
The Herons gained the
lead back in the top of
the fourth off a two-run
homer to go up 4-3.
Again, the lead was
short lived as the Jackets answered with two
runs in the bottom of the
fourth. Jathan Moody
singled and Grayson
Kicklighter reached off a
fielder’s choice. Then,
Robertson doubled in

in penalty kicks. Captain Finn Ogden took
goal and defended with
no scores. AWMS goals
were scored by Ogden,
Trey Knight, Hargrove
and Morales. Against
Ware, Hargrove, Ogden
and David Tirado each
scored a goal.
Although MPMS finished the season in first
place with an 11-3
record, its road to the
championship game was
tough. It first beat
Bacon Middle 4-0 and
then downed the No. 2
seeded Long Middle 3-2
in overtime.
In the Bacon game,
Flores scored two goals
off assists from Gage
Orvin and from Oliver.
Oliver scored off an assist from Christian Garcia. Garcia then scored
off an assist from Abraham Vazquez
“This was a fun game
for the boys with many
players’ getting to try
new positions,” said
Oliver.
The keeper, Fredrick
Jones, was able to play
on the field for the first
time this season, and
Matthew Vanderveen
played keeper.
While MPMS came
out on top, the Long
Middle game was much
more difficult.
“This was the absolute
toughest
game
we
played all season, as
each game with Long
proved to be very
rough,” said Oliver.
“Every time we played
them, our boys were left
bruised and battered.
They truly played their
hearts out and left
everything on the field
to win that game.”
Alex Browning drew a
penalty in the box and
was able to score first
with a penalty kick.
Later in the first half,
Vanderveen scored with
another penalty kick.
Flores drew the penalty
after he was tackled in
the box trying to make a
run with the ball.
As
Friday’s
rainsoaked game continued
in the second half, Long
County fought back to
score two goals and tie
the game.
“With the wet conditions the ball was slippery, and our keeper
had a hard time getting
a good grip on the ball,”
said Oliver. “It just
slipped right through
his hands. His gloves
were completely soaked
through. As the game
went into overtime, I reminded the boys to play
the game of soccer and
not let the aggressive
style of Long County
disrupt how the game
should be played.”
Just minutes before
the second overtime
ended, Jacob Lyle made
a long pass up to striker
Vazquez. He dribbled
ahead of the Long
County defender and
made a great pass to his
left to Flores. He was
able to get past the last
defender for a one-onone shot with the
keeper, placing it into
the back corner of the
net for the win.
“I can’t say enough
about the level of play
and more importantly
the great character that
the boys displayed in
this game,” said Oliver.
“Long was given numerous cards during the
game because of rough
play and poor sportsmanship. Martha Puckett just continued to
carry themselves in a
way that Wayne County
can be proud of.”

Caleb Martin hit a two-run double in the sixth to tie the
game at 7-7.

Houston Lake Country Club in Perry this past week. The tournament is for players in the ninth and 10th
grades. The Jackets placed fourth out of 10 teams with a 340. Mycah Feltman shot a 79. He was followed
by Austin Crews, 86; Zach Robinson, 87; and Dawson Duncan, 88. Dalton Davidson had a personal best
on 18 holes, but his score was not used for team total. Members of the team include, from left, Duncan,
Crews, coach Jamie Ellis, Robinson, Feltman and Davidson.
JACKETS

two more runs to give
the Jackets a 5-4 lead.
The Herons had one
final surge in them in
the fifth. They plated
three runs off two hits,
two hit batters, a walk
and a balk to go up 7-5.
Again, the Jackets
didn’t wilt and tied the
game in the bottom of
the sixth off a two-run
double by Martin.
The Jackets then won
it in the bottom of the
seventh after Parker
singled to start the inning, and Mainor drove
him home for the winning score.
At the plate, Robertson led the charge with
four hits and two RBIs.
Parker had two hits,
and Martin booked a hit
and three RBIs. Ruff,
Keith and Moody each
had a hit.
The Jackets are back
in action on Friday in a
road doubleheader in
Thomson. They will
then host Brunswick
High on Monday at 6
p.m.
The Lady Jackets placed third in the Warhawk Invitational out of six teams with a 322. Taylor Groft shot
a 100. She was followed by Deanna Long and Taria Primus both with 111. Reagan Reddish also played,
but her score was not used for team total. Members of the team include, from left, Primus, Groft, Reddish,
Long and coach Jamie Ellis.

Junior varsity downs Red Terrors
Jump rope
for heart
The junior varsity Jacket baseball team avenged an earlier-in-the-season
loss to Glynn Academy by beating the Glynn team 11-2 at Howard “Bo” Warren
Field. Nolan Grooms, above, gets the win on the mound after throwing five innings, striking out six and walking one. Only one earned run was given up. “We
hit very well and played good defense,” said coach Jesse Barfield. “Glynn beat
us earlier in the year in a game where we did everything we possibly could the
wrong way. Glynn is a talented team and well-coached, but I have told the team
over and over that if we are mentally in the game, we will win every game we
play. We need to continue to work on base running. We have really butcherd
some easy things that we work on every week. Very proud of the effort given in
the game though. Only two things you have 100 percent control of in life, and
it's attitude and effort. We did a good job with both of those.” Below, catcher
David Moseley throws the ball down to second base.

Growing sweet potatoes
For many Georgia gardeners, there is nothing
like digging into the
ground for a homegrown
sweet
potato
and
then
sinking
a fork
into a
homemade
sweet
MARK
potato
FRYE
pie
Extension Agent
shortly
thereafter.
While growing sweet
potatoes is certainly
nothing new for some
gardeners, I have had a
lot of questions on the
topic over the last year
or two. It seems that
after the sweet potato
weevil emerged in Georgia several years ago and
just about wiped out the
state commercial production, many home gardeners stopped or had to
stop growing them as
well.
Now, with the sweet
potato weevil at bay,
many gardeners are
starting to grow this
tasty root crop again.
There are several
sweet potato varieties
suitable for growing in
Georgia. A few recommended varieties are
Beauregard,
Jewel,
Porto Rico and Yellow
Jersey.
Sweet potatoes are
warm-weather plants.
The soil temperature
should reach 70°F before
they can be planted in
the garden. This usually
occurs in mid-April or
shortly after in Wayne
County. They prefer a
well-drained loamy to
sandy soil that receives
8-10 hours of sunlight
per day.
Sweet potatoes are
produced from plants
called “slips,” which are
small, rooted pieces of
tuberous root. Slips are
produced from the roots
of the previous season’s
crop. Most gardeners
prefer to plant slips
bought from garden centers because they are
most likely to be diseaseresistant and because
sweet potato seeds can
be difficult to obtain and
get started.
Space the slips three
feet apart to allow room
for the vines to expand.
Sweet potatoes do best
in a slightly acidic soil
with a pH range of 5.86.0. Be careful with fertilization. Overfertilized
sweet potato plants produce just foliage. Base
the fertilizer application
on the results of a soil
test. In the absence of a
soil test, apply 5-10-15
fertilizer at 30 pounds
per 1,000 square feet.
Next, sidedress 4 pounds
of 5-10-15 per 100 feet of
row just before the vines
cover the row. Water the
plants thoroughly during the early morning to
allow the leaves to dry
off during the day. Sweet
potatoes need at least 1
inch of water per week to
grow well. Watering is
especially
important
during the root development period. Stop watering the sweet potatoes
three to four weeks before harvest to prevent
tubers from splitting.
Wireworm and rootknot nematodes seem to
can be a problem for
home gardeners. However, many insect and
disease problems can be
avoided by choosing disease-resistant varieties
and using sound cultural
gardening
practices.
Crop rotation with a vegetable in another family
can help with nematode
and soil disease prevention.
Weeds are perhaps the
biggest issue when growing sweet potatoes, as
the vines spread rapidly
over the garden area.
The use of mulch and
possibly a pre-emergent
herbicide will help keep
weeds under control. It
is difficult to use cultivation around the plants
once they begin to
spread out.
If you have any more
questions on growing
sweet potatoes in your
home garden, give us a
call at the UGA Extension Office here in
Wayne County at 4275965.
