July 30-- Nursing homes in Georgia have until September 1st to make financial arrangements with hundreds of residents who are losing Medicaid assistance due to state budget cuts. Residents pay an average of $3,000 a month for nursing home care, and those with an income exceeding $1,692 a month will have to pay privately. In Vidalia, Sharron Winge of the Bethany Home Nursing Center says dismissing these patients is not an option because their families cannot provide the care which is needed. Administrators are working with families to find alternatives to the state decision which, according to Winge, was not well thought out. Families are being advised to set up an irrevocable trust fund which limits a patient's monthly income and permits them to remain eligible for Medicaid. Winge says local legislators have been contacted to consider repealing the new limits when the General Assembly reconvenes in January.
July 29-- Vidalia City Schools' officials are working on ways to correct shortcomings noted in the Adequate Yearly Progress reports issued by the state Department of Education this week. School Superintendent Dr. Tim Smith says parents should understand the report is another tool used by the system to make improvements. At Vidalia High School, system curriculum director Lucy Claroni says they'll focus on students who had problems passing the English part of the high school graduation test. She also reports training has been going on this summer to help teachers assist special education students at J.R. Trippe Middle School. At J.D. Dickerson Primary, student attendance was lower than state standards and Claroni says they are considering ways to get more parental cooperation.
July 27-- The two candidates for sheriff in Toombs County appeared together for the first time Monday night at the July meeting of the Vidalia Concerned Citizens Coalition. Incumbent Sheriff Junior Kite noted his record of starting the DARE program in Toombs County schools, pushing for drug busts with area law enforcement agencies, improving staff training, and securing grants for personnel and equipment to keep the load off local taxpayers.
Private investigator Glenn Joiner, a former Vidalia police officer, said he'd like to improve response time of deputy sheriffs by stationing them at volunteer departments located around the county. He also said he would be more accessible to the public by returning the sheriff's office from the detention center to the county courthouse. Joiner also criticized the growth of the sheriff's department budget, and believes the metal detectors at the county courthouse should only be used when court is in session.
July 26-- The state Department of Education released Adequate Yearly Progress Reports on Georgia schools Monday afternoon. Three of the four schools in Vidalia did not meet state yearly progress standards. The state report says Vidalia High School did not meet state standards on high school graduation tests because too many African-American and special needs students failed the test. At J.R. Trippe Middle School, the report says too many special needs students were unable to pass the math and English standardized tests. J.D. Dickerson Primary School's absentee rate of 17 percent caused it to fail the yearly progress test. Sally Meadows Elementary School made satisfactory yearly progress in all areas.
Three of the five schools in the Toombs County school system were judged as not making adequate yearly progress. Lyons Primary and Toombs Central were judged satisfactory, but the high school, middle school and Lyons Upper Elementary didn't make it. Toombs County High School was penalized for its 57 percent graduation rate, and the Toombs Middle School and Lyons Upper Elementary were hit because too many special needs students failed standardized tests.
In Montgomery County, two of the three schools were judged as making adequate yearly progress. Montgomery County Middle School would have made it, but it missed the mark in 8th grade writing testing by one percent.
And in Treutlen County, all was well except in the middle school where special needs students failed to make the mark in English testing.
School officials we talked with all expressed frustration with the federal standards being applied under the "No Child Left Behind" concept. As you examine the totality of the reports, its apparent the majority of students are meeting the standards. However, educators note that "Under No Child Left Behind," a fraction of the student body can cause an entire school to get an inadequate rating. A detailed rundown of the state report is available on the web at www.gadoe.org.
July 26-- School property tax rates in Toombs County are remaining the same. The county school board met Monday night and set the rate at 13 mils, the same as last year according to Superintendent Dr. Kendall Brantley.
July 22-- A Metter construction company has been chosen to build the new football stadium for Vidalia High School. School board chairman Bill Bedingfield says WBM Construction submitted a low bid of $1,186,000. This year will be the last year the Vidalia Indians play their varsity games at Charles Wood Field. Funding for the stadium was provided by sales tax collections approved by voters nearly five years ago. The school board is already planning a phase two of the project which will include construction of an athletic building housing offices, weight training facilities and locker rooms to be built at a later date.

July 22-- Toombs County commissioners held a called meeting Thursday morning and approved property tax rates for the year. Commission chairman Charles Rustin says there's no change in the millage rate. It will remain at 10.45 mils. The commissioners are working on next year's county budget and Rustin says cutbacks being made by the state are having an impact on county governments. The chairman also says some agencies who used to get state support are asking for county funding.
The Toombs County school board is meeting next week to set the school tax rate for the new year and no increases are expected.
July 22-- If you normally hang up on telephone solicitors, you don't need to read this. But otherwise, Toombs County Sheriff Junior Kight reports that somebody has been phoning area residents asking for donations to the Georgia Sheriff's Association. The sheriff says the association does not do telephone solicitations and warns you against giving money or credit card information to the callers.
July 21-- An English professor at Brewton Parker College hopes his approach to the challenges facing Montgomery County will help him get elected to the Montgomery County commission. Bill Teem is running in the November general election for the Higgston-Alston seat, and will face Dr. Ronnie Smith who beat incumbent Wyman Morris in the Democratic primary by 111 votes. In the aftermath of Tuesday's election, Teem is just starting his general election campaign and says he has been encouraged by the response his candidacy has generated in District Two. One of the issues he hopes to address is improved fire protection in his district to help lower fire insurance rates.
July 21-- Voters in Montgomery and Treutlen counties return to the polls August 10th for runoff elections. In Montgomery County, voters will choose between Tracy Braddy and Toby O'Neal to decide who will succeed retiring Clerk of Court Dwight Newsome. In the three-way primary race, Braddy got 16 more votes than O'Neal. For the Mount Vernon seat on the Montgomery County school board, incumbent Gary Braddy got three more votes than Connie Hill with Steve McLeod, Sr. running a close third. Braddy and Hill are in the runoff.
In Treutlen County, there's a county-wide runoff for probate judge between T.J. Hudson and Inez Warnock. Hudson got 46 percent of the vote in the primary while Warnock pulled nearly 33 percent. And Truetlen voters in District Four will vote in a runoff for county commission between commission chairman George L. McLendon and Royce Clark.
July 20-- The Toombs County Tax Commissioner race will be decided in November between Democratic candidate Julie Reaves and Republican contender Marion Grier. In Tuesday's primary election, Reaves defeated Ed Gartman with 70 percent of the vote. Grier beat Summy Pittman with 63 percent of the vote.
In Montgomery County, county commission chairman Wyman Morris was unseated by Ronnie Smith who garnered 60 percent of the vote. In other commission races, District One incumbent Arnie Calhoun lost to Mark Burns by seven votes, District Three incumbent Brandon Braddy beat Willie Cauley by 96 votes, and in a close District Five race, Charles Truett, Jr. defeated John Carpenter by five votes. Incumbent tax commissioner Lawana Sharpe was defeated by over 600 votes by Loretta Lane, Sheriff Clarence Sanders was re-elected over Tony Phillips with 77 percent of the vote, and there's a run-off between Tracy Braddy and Toby O'Neal for Clerk of Court. There's also a run-off for the Mount Vernon school board seat between Gary Braddy and Connie Hill, and District Two school board member Wayne Goff lost to James Thigpen by 79 votes.
In Treutlen County, there's an August 10th runoff for the probate judge office between T.J. Hudson and Inez Warnock and for the District Four county commissioner's seat between George L. McLendon and Royce Clark. District One commissioner Joe Webb beat Mickey Jackson by 220 votes, and the District Three commission seat goes to Hugh Beasley who beat Alvin Wheeler by 153 votes. In the closest Treutlen race, incumbent school board member June Mason was re-elected by two votes over challenger John Brewton.
Senator Jack Hill of Reidsville easily defeated Felix Moring of Soperton for the Republican nomination to the state senate and will face Democrat Chris Oliver of Rincon in November.
July 19-- The Georgia Lottery has announced that a Treutlen county man has won the Lotto South jackpot worth an annuitized $8 million. Officials say Billy Knight of the Zaidee community selected the cash option which amounts to over $3.9 million before taxes. Knight said he bought the ticket after stopping for gas at the Flash Foods convenience store on Highway 221 South in Soperton July 14th. His daughter informed Knight that a winning ticket had been sold in Soperton, and Knight said he couldn't believe his eyes when he went home to check his ticket.
And what does he plan to do with the money? Knight wants to buy some land and go on a few hunting trips. Knight is retired with three children and four grandchildren.
July 19--A junior at Vidalia High School is the first-ever national winner from Vidalia at the annual meeting of Future Business Leaders of America. Henry Oddi won third place last week in the computer concepts category. The Vidalia chapter was represented by president Cameron Bridges and Oddi, who qualified for the trip by winning first place in state competition. Oddi was required to take a written test in the competition which was held in Denver.
July 19--Area police are on the lookout for con artists who have stolen vehicles from car dealers in Vidalia, Swainsboro and Statesboro. Police captain Roger Callaway says a Chevy Tahoe was taken from Harton Automotive in Vidalia and a pickup truck was stolen from Threlkeld Motors in Vidalia. Officers say the thieves pose as would-be customers, switch a key during a test drive, and then return at night and drive the vehicle off the lot. The vehicles have not been recovered, and there have been no arrests, according to Callaway.
July 19--The retail business in Vidalia and Toombs county continues to grow. Officials in Vidalia report a ten percent increase in local option sales tax collections so far this year, and in Toombs County, first quarter collections are up 17 percent in 2004, according to commissioner Louie Powell.
July 17--Voters who vote in Tuesday's primary elections will have to choose whether they want to vote on the Democratic or Republican party ballots, but when the general election rolls around in November, they can choose to vote for a Democrat or a Republican on one general election ballot. Candidates for non-partisan offices will appear on both party ballots in the primary Tuesday.
Advance voting was held last week and local voting officials reported a steady stream of voters taking advantage of the early voting option.
In Toombs County, the only local contested primary races are for tax commissioner. On the Democratic ticket, Ed Gartman is facing Julie Hart Reaves while the Republican ticket has Marion Grier versus Summy Pittman. There are also three contested non-partisan school board seats, but those races will appear on the November general election ballot.
In Montgomery County, there are seven local contested races in the Democratic primary and none in the Republican party. Sheriff Clarence Sanders is challenged by Tony Phillips, tax commissioner Lawana Sharpe is opposed by Loretta Lane, three candidates for clerk of court are Tracy Braddy, Toby O'Neal and Craig Snead, and there are four county commission races between incumbent Arnie Calhoun and Mark Burns, incumbent Wyman Morris and Ronnie Smith, incumbent Brandon Braddy and Willy Cauley, and John Carpenter and Charles Treutt, Jr. Non-partisan school board races are between incumbent Wayne Goff and James Thigpen, and incumbent Gary Braddy, Connie Hill and Steve McLeod.

Hudson, Jimmy Joyner and Inez Warnock with the winner to face independent Phil Wilcher in November. Running for county commission are incumbent Joe Webb versus Mickey Jackson, incumbent George L. McLendon against Royce Clark and Maynard Edenfield, and the remaining seat is between Hugh Beasley and Alvin Wheeler. Also, board of education incumbent June Mason is challenged by John Brewton.
The polls are open from seven till seven and you can hear election results on any of the three Vidalia Communications Corporation radio stations.
July 15--The apparent low bid for construction of a new elementary school in Montgomery County is higher than expected. School superintendent Dale Clark says the low bid was submitted by Harper Construction Company of Douglas for $6.7 million, about a million dollars more than budgeted. Six contractors bid on the project which will now be re-examined to comply with funding. Clark says the state will pay $3.8 million to help with construction with the balance being paid by the school system's special purpose local option sales tax.
July 15--Six area government bodies will not have to pay for prison road details this year. State Representative Greg Morris of Vidalia made the request on behalf Montgomery and Treutlen counties, the Treutlen School System, Soperton, Ailey and Mount Vernon. Mayor Joey Fountain of Mount Vernon says the savings of more than 30-thousand dollars are important to small towns. Corrections Commissioner James Donald informed Morris he is waiving the charges this year, and that if the state's economic conditions continue to improve, he will try to do so in future years.
July 15--Bids will be opened Tuesday afternoon, July 20, for construction of the new football stadium complex at Vidalia High School. School officials hope the Class of 2005 will graduate on the new football field and plan for the Indians to play on the field starting next football season.
July 15--A former vice-president at East Georgia College is returning to Swainsboro as the new college president. Dr. John Black takes over August 1st after serving since last year on the staff of the Board of Regents. He's also worked previously at Dalton State and Augusta State.
July 15--A winning lottery ticket worth an estimated $8 million was sold in Soperton. Lottery officials say the Lotto South ticket is being verified and the winner will be announced once verification procedures are completed. The winning number was 1-3-10-23-38-47.
July 14--A Lyons grandmother says she doesn't like what's going on in her neighborhood and she wants city officials to do something about it. Peggy Beckum lives on North Lanier Street and she has two young grandsons she's trying to protect. Beckum is concerned about drug dealing and prostitution in Lyons. Tuesday night she told the Lyons city council that one night last week she counted 187 people, mostly young boys, selling drugs in the open. She cited various locations including the area around the former Dykes Grocery on Southeast Broad Street, and said many girls are coming to the area for drugs, and police say, some of the girls are trading sex for drugs. Beckum also claims a house of prostitution is operating at 118 North Lanier Street and says she has pictures and tag numbers of customers, many of whom she claims are older men and "you'd be surprised who some of them are." Council members expressed frustration with the "revolving door" justice system which releases drug dealers shortly after arrest, and Mayor John Moore says the Lyons police department will continue it's push against drug dealers. Police Chief Ricky Newsome said it's time for citizens to take their streets back, and to do that, they need to give information to police about what's going on.
Mayor Moore also warned a club owner identified only as Roscoe to control the crowds at his club on Highway 280 or face losing his business license. An unruly crowd estimated at 200 got out of control the last weekend in June and it took police from Lyons, Vidalia, Toombs County and the state patrol to break it up.
In other actions, the Lyons City Council got a break on health insurance for city employees for the coming year. The city found a new carrier, the Principal Group, which will insure employees in the coming year for $104,000, that's $15,000 less than was being paid this year to Starmark. The new rate means city employees will not have to contribute to health insurance in the coming year.
And councilman Ivey Toole wanted to know what's going on with recycling at the Toombs County landfill. The city takes all recyclables to the landfill, however, only cardboard is being recycled there. The question then becomes, "Why should Lyons citizens recycle anything other than cardboard because everything else goes in the landfill anyway?" Mayor Moore says its because the city saves $25 for every ton of recyclables delivered to the landfill. Toombs commissioner Louie Powell says the county ceased recycling everything but cardboard because it was losing money.
July 13--The Vidalia city council is trying to encourage growth in the city and is willing to pay to get results. Faced with loss of population in the last census, the city council Tuesday night voted to go 50-50 with local developers to pay for roads, sewer and water in new city sub-divisions. The developer-friendly approach was suggested over a year ago by Vidalia attorney and developer Massie McIntyre who'd like to build a duplex development off Aimwell Road. City manager Bill Torrance says the approach is similar to that of Statesboro, except that Statesboro pays one hundred percent of the infrastructure costs.
Development Authority president Bill Mitchell informed the council that the recently relocated US Energy company expects to have ribbon-cutting within the next couple of weeks. He says the company is employing 33 workers, some of whom are transferring from Precision Manufacturing Technology which Mitchell says is closing the end of this month with the loss of nearly 50 jobs in Vidalia.
In other actions, the council amended the city's retirement policy to let department heads, the city manager and elected officials retire at 62 versus 65, and it also raised retirement pay for the city's elected officials. The monthly multiplier was raised from ten to 27 dollars which means that a city councilman or the mayor retiring after ten years would received 270 dollars a month in city retirement as opposed to 100 dollars. Elected officials need serve only term to qualify for city retirement when they reach age 62. Officials says it's the first raise in city retirement in more than 20 years.
The council appointed four new members to the Vidalia Onion Festival Committee including secretary Debbie Kittrell, treasurer Carrie Moore, and vice-presidents Angela Lane and Nita McBride.
The council was also informed the state will require a bit more right-of-way at the corner of Broadfoot Boulevard and Highway 280 for a turn lane. The vacant lot there is the future home of an Eckerd's Drug Store.
The council also heard complaints about dilapidated houses on Pine Street, drainage problems on Donovan Street, and loud noise from car speakers in the pre-dawn hours in the neighborhood around Georgia Street.
July 12--Vidalia police have made an arrest in a fatal shooting. Police lieutenant Clint Kennedy says 22-year-old Terence Solomon of Decatur was visiting family in Vidalia when he was shot and killed on the street in front of 505 4th Avenue last Thursday night. On Friday, police arrested 20-year-old Demetrius McMiller, also of Decatur, and charged him with the Solomon's murder. Kennedy says the motive for the shooting is still under investigation by Vidalia detectives and the GBI.
July 12--Toombs County Sheriff Junior Kight says the arrests of a brother and sister in Vidalia is a "good hit" on local drug trade. The sheriff reports a search at the home of 17-year-old Jonathan Pete Fountain at 1504 Forrest Hill Circle in Vidalia led to the confiscation of approximately 15 pounds of marijuana and a quantity of cocaine. Also arrested in the case, 18-year-old Kandace Nicole Fountain of 709 Durden Street. Both are facing multiple drug-related charges including trafficking in marijuna. The sheriff estimates the street value of the confiscated marijuana at $20,000.
In another case, officers searched the property at 228 Keene Farm Road in the Marvin area of Toombs County and found 24 marijuana plants. Charged with manufacturing marijuana are 20-year-old Cara Lee Keene and 50-year-old Nathan Wayne Adams.
Sheriff Kight says area law enforcement agencies cooperating in these cases include the Savannah Region Drug Enforcement Office, the East Georgia Drug Task Force, the Toombs County Sheriff's office and the Vidalia Police Department.
July 12--The state department of transportation says its may be as late as October before contracts are let to start construction of the one-way pair highway project in Vidalia. Earlier, the department had said it hoped to award the contracts in June, but spokesman Burt Brantley says including utility relocation as part of the contract will cause a delay of two to four months. The long-awaited project will one-way Highway 280 to the East and South Main Street to the West through Vidalia.
Brantley also says the department plans to award several road resurfacing contracts later this month including Bellview and Mary Street in Vidalia and the Van Lewis Road in Toombs County.
July 9--The Toombs County school board is one of 53 low wealth school systems in Georgia which plan to sue the state for more state funding of rural school systems. School board superintendent Dr. Kendall Brantley says four years of talking with legislators and the governor's office have produced little in the way of financial assistance. The Consortium for Adequate School Funding believes it will take court action to change state funding formulas which penalize rural counties with little population and industrial tax base. Similar suits have been successful in Oklahoma and Montana. The Georgia suit is expected to be filed in August.
The Toombs school board also has a called meeting July 26 at six p.m. to set the tax millage rate for next year which is expected to remain at 13 mils according to Dr. Brantley. The school system is also planning an open house for the new Toombs Middle School Sunday, August 1 from two till five p.m.
July 8--Property owners in Treutlen County can get ready for a two mil tax increase. School Superintendent Chuck Ellington held the first in a series of public hearings on the question Thursday in Soperton and said the combination of lowered tax rates for the past two years plus state budget cuts leave the school board very little choice. Truetlen's school tax of nine mils is the lowest in the area, and even when raised to eleven mils, will leave the school system with only $75,000 in reserves at the end of the fiscal year next June. At the school board's July meeting, Ellington expects the board to consider a resolution calling for a referendum on a one percent local option sales tax. The superintendent is also hopeful that state revenue collections will continue to improve in the coming months in the hope that some of the state cuts will be restored.
Ellington noted that Treutlen's lack of industry leads to a low tax base which means individual property owners are burdened with much of the load. School board chairman Freddie Mills says he was encouraged by a recent conversation with state representative candidate Rick Berry of Lyons who supports a local option sales tax to fund school operations, something currently prohibited by state law.
July 6--Three people were killed just after midnight Sunday in a Toombs County wreck. The Georgia State Patrol says the deaths occurred when a car ran off the road and overturned on Highway 297 at Mosley Road, north of Vidalia. The dead are identified as the driver, 22-year-old Exar Lopez, 26-year-old Enrique Rodriguez, and 22-year-old Hernandez Silva, all of Vidalia. Two of the men were thrown from the car and the third was trapped inside. Trooper First Class W.W. Manning investigated the one-car accident.
July 6--Treutlen County Tax Commissioner Wayne Sumner is being charged in connection with a wreck in Laurens County. The 65-year-old Sumner has a long history of alcoholism and faces charges of DUI, running a stop sign, and a felony count of habitual violator. Sumner suffered hip injuries in the wreck while the driver of the other car was only slightly injured. Sumner is not running for reelection.
July 6--An operator of a Vidalia carwash was hit in the head and robbed Saturday. Police say the operator at the Texaco station car wash a block from the police department had opened the cash collector machine at the car wash when he was hit in the head and locked in a storeroom. Police say his injuries were not serious and no arrests have been made in the case.
Vidalia police are also advising that a rash of car breakins is continuing. Captain Kevin Collins advises drivers not to keep items of value in open sight on car seats. He says many of the illegal entries are being made while the vehicles are parked in owners' driveways. Collins also recommends that you keep your vehicles locked.
July 6--Montgomery County commissioners voted Tuesday to accept property and money for county development from the Holland-Underwood Foundation. The heirs of Audrey Holland and Ernestine Underwood donated nearly seven acres of land in Mount Vernon and $75,000 to the county school board with half of the contribution to be used by the county. The buildings on the land formerly housed Reaves Construction, and before that, Holland Construction. In other actions, commissioners approved a $10,500 contract to Hooks Construction to pave the access road to the county recycling center, and approved a state contract for the widening of Sawmill Road.
July 1--Three Toombs County men were arrested on drug charges last weekend in Bleckley County. Sheriff Harold Lancaster says one of his deputies found over $5,000 worth of marijuana in their car during a routine traffic stop on Interstate 16. Charged with possession with intent to distribute are 18-year-old John Dixon, 20-year-old Christopher Howell and 21-year-old Jacob Mitchell. Police confiscated the drugs and $600 dollars in cash. Dixon has been released on bond, but the other two are being held for Toombs County authorities. Chief Deputy Barry Brown says Howell is wanted for probation violation and that Mitchell faces bad check charges in Toombs County.
July 1--A Toombs County man has been acquitted for child molestation and sexual battery. Clerk of Court Chess Fountain says Jeremy Lee Newell was found not guilty on four counts of molesting four girls under the age of 16, and on two counts of sexual battery of two older girls. A Toombs County jury announced the verdict Wednesday afternoon after a three-day trial of Newell.
July 1--Your electric bill may go up next year if the Georgia Public Service Commission okays a Georgia Power Company request for a rate increase. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, a non-profit group, claims the increase would raise the bills of Georgia Power customers by about seven percent. The PSC says it has approved no increases in Georgia Power rates since 1991, and that public hearings will be held before a final decision is made in December.
July 1--Property owners in Treutlen County are facing a school tax increase of nearly 22 percent. The school board has given tentative approval to a two mil increase to give the school system some breathing room regarding school operations. State law requires three public hearings be held before the decision is final. Hearings are set for Thursday at 11 a.m. and at six p.m. and on Thursday, July 15th at 11 a.m. The hearings will be held in the Gillis Auditorium and all concerned citizens are invited.
