CSX looks to coal ash 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. DREW DAVIS / Staff 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 DREW DAVIS / Staff 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 ❑ See CAUCUS, Page 6A By Derby Waters STAFF WRITER “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.

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.

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.

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. Day Just know you and my son are loved.

(DINK) NESMITH JR. Chairman of the Board ERIC DENTY Publisher • President THE P-S OPINIONS ▼▼▼ 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.

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- My Opinion ▼▼▼ gun, strapped to his side and four underage exchange students riding in the car with him. He was TOM charged CRAWFORD with driColumnist ving 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?

He can be reached at [email protected]. ) 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- Guest Column ▼▼▼ ing more and more depressed while we do so. But that’s not what Earth Day 1970 was all about, and that’s KAY not what KOPPEDRAYER Earth Day Columnist 2016 is all about. In 1970 Earth Day was set aside as a day of learning and a day to prompt activism on behalf of the welfare of the environment. 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 calling the 15-minute challenge. You might be wondering, “And what is this 15-minute thing all about?” It’s really quite simple: On or around April 22, take a little time out of your busy lives and do something to honor this beautiful world we have been given.

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. 6A Wednesday, April 20, 2016 The Press-Sentinel County plans called meeting The Wayne County Board of Commissioners has called a meeting for Thursday at 3 p.m. The Board plans to hear a presentation from Phillip Fletcher on refinancing hospital bonds.

Readers reacting to the Pendered article expressed sympathy with the opposition here. “Sounds to me as if the proposal for fly ash disposal in the Jesup/Broadhurst area of Wayne County … is a no do-er and a no brainer. Duh... what are they thinking,” wrote one observer. “Coal ash contains toxic materials that will pollute aquifers and drinking waters for centuries to come. Poor, uninformed Southern communities are being made wastelands by being conned into allowing out of state coal ash to be dumped on their land. The people of Jesup and Wayne County are fighting tooth and nail to keep coal ash dumping out of their area,” wrote another. tion on more than 3 million U.S. health care providers In addition to Wayne Memorial, 14 other Georgia hospitals were among those listed for the honors. Optim Medical Center, Reidsville, was the only other facility in the area to be named. “We’re getting ready to turn Georgia into a blue state. ... Let’s rebuild this party from the ground up, from south Georgia all the way up.” He added, “We’re kind of at one of those crossroads again. ... The hole that was left in our economy [before Democratic President Barack Obama] was deeper than people remember.” After alluding specifically to the proposed annual importation of millions of tons of coal ash into Wayne County for disposal, Porter said, “If you want our water and our Floridan Aquifer and the Altamaha River [protected], ... you’ve got to have an EPA strong enough to protect people and not special interests.” Speaking after the close of the caucus (which included a lengthy group discussion of issues), Porter said, “I think it went great.” People are proud to be Democrats, he said. CSX Continued from page 1A dicates the plans to remove fly ash (coal ash) from utility-company holding ponds and to transport it to lined landfills such as the one Republic operates at Broadhurst.

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!

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. Tickets for the Wayne County banquet are available at Harris & Company PC. For more information call 2210941.

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 The Press-Sentinel 3B 4B Wednesday, April 20, 2016 The Press-Sentinel NAMES IN THE NEWS ▼▼▼ ▼▼▼ 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.
