for profits
DREW DAVIS / Staff
Speaking to a crowd in Wayne
County, State Democratic Chair
DuBose Porter predicts a Democratic resurgence in Georgia.
DREW DAVIS / Staff
Beverly Leaphart tells district
caucus-goers that she has previously served as a Hillary Clinton
delegate at a national convention.

Alvin Leaphart explains that he
has been involved in national politics since the age of 3.
Leapharts named delegates to Philadelphia
State Dem chair at district caucus in Wayne
By Drew Davis
STAFF WRITER
Both Beverly and
Alvin
Leaphart
of
Jesup will be delegates
to the Democratic National Convention in
Philadelphia, Pa., July
25-28.
They
were
both
elected as Hillary Clinton delegates at the
District
Democratic
Caucus Saturday at
Bennett Union Missionary Baptist Church in
Jesup.
Though Democratic
caucuses were taking
place for all 14 of Georgia’s congressional districts Saturday, the
caucus
in
Wayne
County was the one
that State Democratic
Party Chair DuBose
Porter chose to attend.
“I think it’s important
this election cycle that
we reach all the areas

With District Democratic Chair Frances Zwenig, third from left, and State Democratic Chair DuBose Porter, fourth from left, are, from left, Bernie Sanders
delegate Lisa Ring of Bryan County and Hillary Clinton delegates Gwendolyn
Waring of Savannah, Beverly and Alvin Leaphart of Jesup, and Bryan Reese of
Savannah.
of Georgia because the
big things we fight for
affect families in counties all over the state,”
Porter told The PressSentinel.
Those issues include
health care, education,
job training, and clean
air and water, he said.
Porter helped oversee
the selection of five Democratic delegates from
Georgia’s First Congressional
District.
Caucus-goers
from
throughout the 17county district were
charged with electing
four
delegates—two
men and two women—
to vote for Clinton at
the convention and one
woman to vote for
Bernie Sanders. Those

“CSX and its landfill
partners are promoting
the landfilling of coal
ash in southeast Georgia,” according to a
statewide news report
this week.
The topic of coal ash’s
possibly being dumped
in the Broadhurst landfill continues to spread
across the state calling
attention to Jesup and
Wayne County. An Atlanta-based digital report, the Saporta Report,
carried two articles over
the weekend about the
local controversy.
Journalist David Pendered wrote that CSX
railroad is looking for a
way to bolster its sagging bottom line and
sees hauling coal ash as
a bright spot for future
profits.
In addition, the report
carried a guest column
opposing plans by Republic Services to bring
trainloads of coal ash
here. The column—by
Dink NeSmith, chairman of the board of
Press-Sentinel Newspapers—is the latest example of how word of the
issue is continuing to
grow.
Apparent in the April
12 CSX quarterly report,
the railroad company is
suffering from a loss in
the reduction in the use
of coal across the country. As utility companies
turn away from the
harmful effects of burning coal, the railroad is
losing revenue. In addition, worldwide demand
for U.S. coal is dropping.
Hauling coal has been
an economic mainstay
for CSX for years, but
now that revenue stream
is drying up. In fact, the
railroad reported a 14
percent decline in quarterly revenue and a 5
percent decrease in volume.
“The company [CSX]
can use existing rail
lines to haul coal ash
from power plants to
proposed landfills in
Jesup, in southeast
Georgia,” the Saporta
Report stated.
That CSX is looking to
cash in by hauling coal
ash is mentioned in its
financial report.
“Volume grew, with
mild winter weather allowing for an earlier
start to the northern aggregates shipping season
and the beginning of a
long-term fly ash remediation project,” the
quarterly report noted.
That “long-term fly ash
remediation project” in❑ See CSX, Page 6A
Wayne Memorial cited
for safety excellence honor
STAFF REPORT
Add another accolade.
Wayne Memorial Hospital is one of 466 hospitals across the nation
named as recipients of a
Patient Safety Excellence Award for 2016.
These hospitals rank
in the top 10 percent of
all hospitals evaluated
for their performance in
safeguarding patients
from serious, potentially
preventable complications.
Hospitals were evaluated based on the occurrence of observed incidents and expected
performance for 14 patient safety indicators as
defined by the Agency
for Healthcare Research
and Quality.
Healthgrades, which
announced its list of
winners, also released
some key patient-safety
findings. For example,
four types of events
make up nearly 75 percent of all patient-safety
incidents reported by
hospitals: accidental cut,
puncture or hemorrhage; collapsed lung;
infections; and bedsores.
Healthgrades said on
average, 270,457 patient-safety events could
have been prevented if
all hospitals, as a group
from 2012 to 2014, performed similarly to hospitals which exceeded
expectations.

In Memory of
Georgia Kay
and Riley Kay
My Precious Babies
When Mama and Ashton
lost you, our world fell apart.
Oh, what we would give
just to see you and Riley Kay
one more time come walking
through the door. But I know
that is impossible. We know
we won’t hear your voices
any more.
We know you can feel our
tears and you don’t want us
to cry. Yet our hearts are broken because we cannot understand why someone so
precious and young had to
die.
I pray that God will give
Ashton and I strength and
some way help get us
through as we struggle with
the heartache that came
when we lost you both.
Ashton
was
playing
catcher that day at the ball
field. Riley’s game was over,
and we were at Ashton’s
game.
I can still see the last time
I saw you and Riley Kay
alive. You two were holding
hands and turned back and
said, “Mama, I love you.” And
Riley said, “Mamma, I love
you.” And you both skipped

away happy.
Years do not erase the
emptiness that we feel or the
vacant chairs that cannot be
filled except by you.
My heart can feel you and
Riley Kay when I hold your
son (Ashton). Your heart
beats through his, and I feel
your presence and thank God
for him because without him,
Georgia Kay, I just don’t
think I could go on. Sometimes I hear him call out
“Mamma,” and I can see
Riley Kay and her little lips
move in only that special
way.
You had a 47th birthday
April 8. Miss Riley Kay
would have turned 11 on the
23rd of April. I keep asking
myself, “Why?” Five years
have gone by on April 14,
2016. That you both went
away, that’s the day our
world fell apart. Five long
years have gone by, and I
can’t do anything with your
home. It still sits as you both
walked out of it. I have tried
so hard to go through your
things, but each time I fall
apart. How does a mother do
away with the only things
she has left? I try so hard, but
I cannot even throw away
your toothbrush.
You were my life, and when
you blessed me with Ashton
and Riley Kay, my world was
complete. Help me, Georgia
Kay. Show me what you want
me to do.
Forever in our thoughts.
Death or dirt will never
separate our hearts,

Georgia Kay Would Say to Us
Mama and Ashton, my precious
son:
I know you are feeling sad today
because we had to go. I know you see
so many things that remind you of
us.
Mama, I know you cry as you recall
the wonderful time we all shared. I
know your pain would turn to joy if
only you and Ashton could see us one
Pat
more time.
Mama and my precious son, we are Smith
in Heaven with Jesus now.
We laugh, we sing, we pray. He holds us gently in His arms.
Mama, we are with grandmother, and I see Daddy every
day. Mama, it’s so beautiful here. I have no more pain
today.
I just want you to know that even
though we are apart, that Jesus has
said to me that he will someday bring
you and Ashton to me and we will live
for eternity.
Until then, Mama, just remember
you will not see us, so you must have
faith. I will wait for the time when we
can soar together again. Until then,
live your life to the fullest, and when
you need me, just whisper my name
in your heart, and I will be there for
Ashton
you.

Just know you and my son are
loved.

Hospital earns another
deserved honor
Once again Wayne Memorial has been
presented with another award.
This time the honor is for the excellent
record the hospital has for patient safety.
It may seem that a hospital would be the
last place one might expect to have a
safety problem. But the fact is that each
year, thousands of patients are injured
while being hospitalized.
This latest accolade will be added to the
growing number earned by the volunteers, staff and employees of the local
medical center. It is good to know the
local hospital is a good, safe place to go
when ill or injured.
Several times over the past few years,
new doctors have listed the hospital honors as one of the impressive things they
see when considering practicing medicine
in Wayne County. And residents all
around us are taking notice and coming
to the hospital here for their care. And
that means more services can be provided locally—without the need to travel
to some distant institution.
We’ve said it before, but it deserves another tip of the hat and a “well done” to
all who make the hospital an outstanding
and important part of this community.
Caucus was feather
in Wayne County hat
There are several reasons that the District Democratic Caucus Saturday was
good news for Wayne County.
First, both Beverly and Alvin Leaphart
were elected to serve as Hillary Clinton
delegates at the Democratic National
Convention. It would be good for Wayne
County to have two delegates to any national convention of either of the major
parties, but with the hotly contested
races in both parties this year, delegates
can expect to play an especially important role. And with their past experience
as Democrats in general and Clinton supporters in general, the Leapharts certainly have the credentials to fill those
positions.
Of course, aside from the selections
themselves, Wayne County had the
chance to host an estimated 200-300 electors from a 17-county area. Whether
you’re looking at the positive attention
that Wayne County and Jesup received or
whether you’re simply considering the
economic impact from those visitors, people here should be glad that their home
was the site of such an event.
And even though there was a delegate
caucus in each of Georgia’s 14 congressional districts Saturday, the caucus in
Jesup was the one that drew State Party
Chair DuBose Porter, who shared inspiring words and led a spirited discussion.
Kudos to both the Wayne County Democratic Party and Bennett Union Baptist
Church for showing such winning hospitality Saturday.

OPINION
This is not the time to get a DUI
It’s never a good time for a
politician to get arrested for
driving under the influence,
but it’s especially bad to get
pulled in by law enforcement
when the next election is less
than six weeks away.
But that’s the situation Rep.
Tom Taylor (R-Dunwoody) was
facing in his campaign to win
re-election to a fourth term in
the Georgia House.
While driving through
Rabun County in northeast
Georgia recently, Taylor was
clocked going 72 mph in a 45mph zone and pulled over by
Clayton police officer Michael
Bennett.
Officer Bennett noted “an
overwhelming odor of alcohol”
while talking to Taylor and
added that “Taylor’s face was
very red and his eyes were
bloodshot.” Taylor claimed he
had had nothing to drink, but
when he blew into a breathalyzer, it was determined he
had a blood alcohol level of
.225, nearly triple the legal
limit.
As if that wasn’t bad
enough, Taylor also had a
Glock 36, a .45-caliber hand-

under the
influence, speeding, and having an open alcohol container
in his Hyundai Santa Fe.
There were no charges related
to the firearm, which Taylor
was legally carrying.
One of the oddest aspects of
the incident was that Taylor
got out of his SUV as the police officer was approaching
the vehicle. When Bennett told
Taylor, who was wearing his
firearm, to return to the vehicle, Taylor refused. Only after
Bennett ordered him a second
time to get back in the SUV
did Taylor comply.
There are quite a few jurisdictions where an armed suspect who refuses to obey a police order will find himself in
danger of being either shot or
thrown flat on the ground and
forcibly restrained. That didn’t
happen in this instance. Tom
Taylor is a very lucky man.
There are all sorts of ironies
here, starting with the fact
that one of the people entrusted with writing the laws
of this state was himself
charged with breaking those
laws.
You can add to that the irony
of Taylor’s being arrested just
a few weeks after his Republican colleagues in the General
Assembly passed a bill that
will allow students attending
public colleges to carry
firearms on campus.
Many college students, being
young and emotionally immature, have a tendency to imbibe large quantities of alcoholic beverages. The proposed
law passed by the Legislature
will allow those hard-drinking
college students to carry
firearms like a Glock 36 as
they walk about their campuses.
As Taylor demonstrated, mature grownups have no business getting drunk when
they’re carrying a handgun, let
alone kids.
Taylor is not the first legislator to encounter problems
from too much of that demon
rum. Generally speaking, it
doesn’t end well for a politician
in that situation.
About 10 years ago, Rep.
David Graves (R-Macon), the
chairman of the House committee that oversees regulation of the liquor industry, was
arrested twice in 11 months on
drunken-driving charges in
Cobb County. He decided not
to run for re-election.
Rep. Kip Smith (R-Columbus) was nailed by Atlanta police on a DUI charge prior to
the 2012 primary elections
and was subsequently defeated by John Pezold. Rep.
Chuck Sims (R-Ambrose) was
popped twice on DUI charges
within a four-month period in
2013 and didn’t run again.
Taylor is not some obscure
backbencher. He chairs the
MARTA overview committee
and is a favorite of Speaker
David Ralston. He has a fairly
moderate voting record–he
was one of the few Republicans, oddly enough, who didn’t
vote for the campus-carry bill.
Taylor is opposed by political
activist Tom Owens in the upcoming GOP primary, so the
arrest comes at a very inopportune time for him.
Owens has raised only $514
in campaign contributions, but
the DUI arrest gives him a potent issue to use in the campaign—he’s already sent out a
news release denouncing Taylor as “unfit to hold the office
of Georgia state representative.”
Taylor so far says he will
stay in the race: “This was my
first run-in with the law in my
life, and it will also be my
last.” Will it also be his last
term in office?

The 15-minute challenge
Do you remember way back
when the first Earth Day was
celebrated some 40 years ago?
I do.
I was a junior in high school
in Ohio, and environmentalism
was all the buzz. Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, published some years earlier with
its cautionary tale about the
overuse of DDT and other pesticides, had prompted that
buzz.
It was a time of consciousness-raising, a time to become
more aware of the often negative impact humans can have
on the environment–an impact
resulting from carelessness
and selfishness. Earth Day
1970 was set aside as a day to
reflect upon what we could do
to maintain a harmonious balance with the world around us
and, by extension, a balance
with others and the Creator.
We’ve come a long way since
1970, and not all of that bodes
well. The temperature in the
oceans has risen; more and
more plastics clog the environment; fish stocks are endangered; bees are in a serious decline; and there’s more
pollution in the air than ever
before, not to mention the increasing number of electronic
devices–cell phones, smartphones, tablets, you name
it–that are clogging the landfills. We could go on listing all
the problems we face, becom-

2016 is all

Back then we knew in our
hearts that talking–only talking—about what has gone
wrong wasn’t going to get us
anywhere. We knew we had to
do something. Just as we have
to do something now.
In the spirit of that first
Earth Day, I lay down what I’m

You might be wondering,
“And what is this 15-minute

restore its vitality, its beauty,
its dignity. Do something that
contributes to its welfare. Take
15 minutes (or longer!) to do
something that shows you care
about the earth and the many
living beings who share this
world with us.
And while you’re at it, document what you’ve chosen to do.
Provide me with a little writeup of what you did; send me an
e-mail recounting the way you
took up your 15-minute challenge
([email protected]); or
tell me about it. Add photos if
you can. I will then compile all
of your stories into a booklet
that we can circulate to others
to encourage them to take up
their own 15-minute challenges.
Here are some ideas of what
you can do:
pesticides to ensure you never
use them.
•Create a space in your yard
for native flowers.
•Put up a nesting box made
from natural materials.
Be an environmental
steward
•Clean a section of a highway.
•Pick up trash along a waterway.
•Clean up a parking lot.
•Make an inventory of local
wildlife habitats, and think of
what you can do to help preserve these habitats.
•Responsibly dispose of your
toxic chemicals.
•Build a bee hotel.
•Read up on neonicotinoid
Build community
•Give a plant to a neighbor,
and help plant it.
•Show a child how to plant
something.
•Beautify a public space by
weeding or pruning.
•Visit an elderly person or
shut-in to bring happiness.
•Document some of the local
land lore you have heard.
•Collect some local history.
•Help someone learn a new
skill.
•Get involved in a literacy
Lessen your
environmental footprint
•Advise your credit-card
company that you wish to go
paperless.
•Do an energy audit of your
home.
•Do an environmental-impact audit of your daily and
weekly habits, and target one
or more to change.
•Make arrangements to carpool with friends or family.
•Buy local produce, or, better
yet, plant some vegetables to
share with others.
•Organize a swap meet with
friends or family to give away
half-used cans of paint.
project.
•Write a poem, or lead a
prayer service.
Advocacy
•Write a letter to the local
newspaper, chiding folks who
toss their trash out their car
and truck windows.
•Write to your local, state
and federal representatives
about land-use issues: surface
mining, landfill, coal ash, you
name it.
•Gently but persuasively encourage others to rethink their
pesticide use.
•Get involved in a local environmental organization.
•Do some grassroots networking to identify a local
issue; then mobilize with others to address that issue.
Taking it beyond
15 minutes
•Think about one thing you
can do, one little change you
can make in your lifestyle that
will contribute to making this
world a better and more sustainable world. It can be easing
up a little on the gas pedal so
as not to burn so much fuel. Or
using less plastic or taking
cardboard to a recycling center
or using less electricity.
One thing, one change. If all
of us do something, we can
make a difference.

“Sounds to me as if the

no do-er and a no

one observer.
“Coal ash contains
toxic materials that will
pollute aquifers and

made wastelands by
being conned into allowing out of state coal ash
to be dumped on their

He added, “We’re kind

After alluding specifically to the proposed annual importation of millions of tons of coal ash
into Wayne County for
disposal, Porter said, “If

PASTOR’S COLUMN
▼▼▼
Solid foundations
While considering what to
write about for this article, I
was led to
a
short
parable of
Jesus that
is told in
chapter
seven of
Matthew’s
Pete
Gospel. In
verses 24- Ullmann
27, Jesus Jesup
speaks of Presbyterian
Church
two
men—a
wise one and a foolish one.
The parable draws a clear
contrast between the two, as
it describes to us the qualities
that show the one man to be
wise, while the second is
proven to be foolish.
According to the parable,
the first man set out to build
a house, and as he did, he
chose to build his house on a
foundation of rock. “The rain
fell, the floods came, and the
winds blew and beat on that
house, but it did not fall,”
says Jesus. Why? “It was because that house had been
built on rock.”
The second man also set
out to build a house. But as
he did, he chose to build his
on a foundation of sand.
Again, “the rain fell, the
floods came, and the winds
blew and beat on that house,”
says Jesus. But in this instance, the result was different. “The house fell, and
great was its fall!” And there
in the ruins of a demolished
house is revealed the foolish-
ness of the second man.
Given the fact that Jesup is
much like a big sandbox, you
and I might hear this parable
and find we are a bit concerned.
But never fear!
Jesus isn’t really concerned
about building methods or
the relative virtues of living
in coastal areas or mountainous terrain. Jesus’ lesson
here is a spiritual lesson.
And the key is found in the
words He says, “Everyone
who hears these words of
mine and acts on them will
be like ….” That’s a simile.
And what reveals our likeness to either the wise man
or the foolish one isn’t really
the terrain on which our
houses are built, but rather
the foundation upon which
our lives are built.
Consider with me this
truth of which our Lord
speaks. The wise, says Jesus,
are those who build their
lives on a solid foundation.
The wise are those who build
their lives on truth and
virtue. In fact, the wise are
those who both hear Jesus’
words and act on them. On
the other hand, the foolish
are those who have no solid
foundation beneath them.
The foolish are those who
build lives that are based on
lies and iniquity. The foolish
are those who refuse to listen
to the lessons of Jesus. And
even if they do happen to
hear those words, they neglect to apply those lessons to
their lives or to ever act upon
them.
What do you suppose some
of those words of Jesus are
that have ability to give our
lives a solid foundation?
Looking to the context in
which this parable is told, we
read about lives that are
lived with a trust in God that
can free us from all worry.
We read about treating others in the same ways that we
would like to be treated ourselves. We learn in Jesus’
words that judging others is
never our job. Jesus’ words
teach us that the best treasures to be found are those
we store up for ourselves in
heaven. We hear Jesus’ call to
love one another–even those
we count as enemies. And
Jesus’ words steer us far
away from things such as
anger, retaliation, selfishness
and pride.
But most important, what
we need to see here today is
that Jesus desires for you
and me to be folks who not
only hear these things but do
them! God intends for us not
only to listento what Jesus
has to say, but to put these
things He teaches us into
healthy action. Indeed, the
job of Christians is to allow
Jesus’ words to bear fruit in
the good soil of our lives.
In the days and weeks
ahead, may you and I consider the foundation upon
which our lives are built.
May we look to Jesus’ words
for guidance and direction.
And having heard, let us seek
and discover ways to put our
Christian faith into fruitful
action!

Norfolk
Southern Railroad
Preliminary work is continuing on Jesup’s new Ga. Hwy. 169 railroad overpass (which will be accompanied by adjacent improvements at
the intersection of Hwy. 169 with Sunset Boulevard and Spring Grove Road). As this drawing from the Wayne County Government Building
shows, the overpass route will actually veer to the east of the existing road and will end up crossing both Pine Street and the existing 169
route to end at Cherry Street. The existing Norfolk Southern crossing on 169 will be closed. The new overpass is expected to relieve
lengthy traffic delays at the crossings on both 169 and Sunset Boulevard. The overpass and intersection projects are being funded by the
regional T-SPLOST (special purpose local option sales tax for transportation).

Wild Turkey banquet is set for Saturday
The Flatwoods Gobblers Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation will hold its 16th
annual Hunting Heritage
Banquet Saturday at 6
p.m. at Unity Church of
God.
The event will feature a
Southern-style dinner
catered by Sybil’s, auctions, gun raffles and
prizes. Some of the guns
include Benelli Montefeltro 12-gauge, Benelli SuperNova 12-gauge camo
pattern, Henry Golden
Boy 22-mag, Ruger AR556, Ruger American
.243 rifle and Ruger
American 7mm-08.
“The successful restoration of the wild turkey is
one of Georgia’s greatest
conservation success stories,” said Georgia Department of Natural Resources Commissioner
Mark Williams. “As recently as 1973, there
were only 17,000 turkeys
in the state, and now, the
current bird population
hovers around 335,000.
This recovery was successful thanks to intensive restoration efforts
and cooperative partnerships, such as with the
National Wild Turkey
Federation that since
1985 has provided millions to enhance habitat,
provide more hunter access and support wild
turkey research and education in Georgia. I am
proud to say that our
partnership with the
NWTF is still strong
today as they continue to
promote sound upland
wildlife management.
“Their current initiative ‘Save the Habitat
Save the Hunt’ is perfectly aligned with our
mission to conserve and
manage habitat in Georgia and pass along a
hunting heritage to the
next generation.”
The National Wild
Turkey Federation is the
leader in upland wildlife
habitat conservation in
North America and was
the driving force in the
comeback of the wild
turkey, according to Flatwoods president R.J.
Auldridge.
The organization and
its volunteers work
closely with state and
federal agencies and
other partners to improve wildlife habitat,
benefiting wild turkeys
and countless other
wildlife
and
game
species.
In Georgia, the NWTF
has 88 chapters and
10,000 members. It has
helped conserve 1.4 million acres of land and invested more than $9 million.

County banquet are
available at Harris &

Black Crepe Myrtles
Many homeowners
in the South love Crepe
Myrtles for their continuous bloom over long periods of time. I suppose I
like them for the same
reasons. Small insects
love Crepe Myrtles too.
Aphids, Whiteflies and
Scale
insects
all love
to feed
on the
underside of
the
Crepe
Myrtle
leaf.
MARK
FRYE
Every
Extension Agent
year I
receive calls from homeowners wanting to know
why their Crepe Myrtles
have turned black. The
black growth on the leaf is
not what you might think.
It is Sooty Mold. Sooty
mold will grow on just
about any surface if the
right ingredients exist.
The necessary ingredients
would be nectar from
plants. Even cars parked
under shade trees will develop a black coating of
Sooty Mold as the aphids
feed on the tree and deposit their "honey dew"
which is nothing more
than the insect's secretions from feeding on the
plants nectar.
Crepe Myrtles turn
black for the same reasons. More often than not
the culprit will be aphids.
Aphids are small soft bodied insects capable of multiplying very rapidly into
damaging levels. Aphids
feed primarily on the underside of the leaf and will
enjoy the new terminal
growth of the plant it
feeds on. As the aphids
feed they drip the "honey
dew" onto the leaves
below and the sooty mold
begins to grow. Once the
plant has a solid cover of
mold on the leaf, photosynthesis will be hindered
in the plant. Plants can
become very weak when
large numbers of insects
feed on them.
One lady called the office and said "our Crepe
Myrtles are black but I
don't see any insects on
them." In her particular
case the insects that created the Sooty Mold were
gone.
Where did they go?
They simply cycled out, or
they were controlled by
beneficial insects such as
the Lady Bug Beetle. The
Sooty Mold doesn't leave
just because the bugs are
gone. Many times the
mold will remain on the
plant for months. The
mold may be washed off
with a very mild application of insecticidal soaps
or dish washing detergent. Spray the soap on
and after 10 – 15 minutes
wash it off with a brisk
spray of water.
Systemic insecticides
will be the best preventive
control against these insects. Systemic insecticides are products such as
Bayer Advanced Tree and
Shrub Insect Control with
the active ingredient (Imidacloprid). These products are soil applied insecticides that are taken up
by the root system. Once
inside the plant, they will
last much longer than contact sprays and are not
washed off by rain.
If you have any more
questions, come by to see
us or give us a call at the
UGA Extension Office
here in Wayne County 427
5965.
