September 30-- What started out as an aggravated assault case in August turned into a murder case when the victim died, according to Lyons police. Detective Milton Smith reports 70-year-old Earnest Brown of East Columbia Avenue was hit in the head during an altercation at his house on August 19th. He died eleven days later at Memorial Medical Center in Savannah, and a state crime lab autopsy determined he died of "blunt force trauma" to the head. Police are charging 44-year-old Anthony John Gaffney of Lyons with murder and are holding him at the Toombs County jail pending a bond hearing.
September 30-- Funeral services were held Thursday for a freshman at Brewton Parker College who died in a car wreck Sunday. Eighteen-year-old Jay Robinson of Waynesboro was killed when the car he was driving overturned and hit a parked vehicle in Reidsville. Two other students in the car were injured and a third was not hurt. A college spokesman says the two injured students have been released from the Medical College of Georgia hospital in Augusta.
September 30-- Toombs County will be paying $716,000 for medical insurance for 160 county employees starting in October. The premium increased 12 percent over this year and the deductible went up to $1,000 to keep costs as low as possible. The county policy is with Blue Cross.
September 30-- The Soperton-Treutlen Chamber of Commerce met with Georgia Tech economic development officials Tuesday night update the county's plans for growth. The lone elected official in attendance was Senator Jack Hill of Reidsville who had good things to say about the future of the county's industrial park. Andy Thompson of the chamber also noted the need to support entrepreneurs with job creation.
September 29-- A Lyons insurance agent was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with insurance fraud. Investigators from the state Insurance Commissioner's office are charging Meredith Dianne Sowell of Sowell and Sowell Insurance on North State Street in Lyons with 13 counts of insurance fraud. Commissioner John Oxendine says Dianne Sowell allegedly kept premiums which customers paid her for various coverages including auto, general liability and workers comp.
She is facing seven counts of fraud in Toombs County and six in Chatham County. Toombs County sheriff's deputies served warrants on Sowell and she was later released from the county jail on a $7,000 bond signed by her husband.
Wayne Whitaker of the state insurance commissioner's office says anyone who dealt with Dianne Sowell in Lyons should contact their insurance company to be sure they actually have the insurance they paid for. If you have any questions about your coverage, call the insurance commission in Atlanta at 404-656-2070.
September 29-- Four more area counties have been added to the federal list of counties eligible to receive federal disaster relief. Toombs, Treutlen, Emanuel and Jeff Davis counties may apply for the funds to help pay the cost of repairing public property and facilities damaged by tropical storm Frances in early September.
One of the Toombs County roads damaged by Frances caved in Tuesday afternoon. Only hours earlier, Toombs County commissioners had met and authorized the county road department to replace drain pipes under the road which runs across the dam on Dees Lake. However, the dam broke before work could start. The resulting flood destroyed a couple of outdoor utility buildings and slightly damaged a nearby mobile home, according to the Toombs County Sheriff's office.
September 28-- State Representative Greg Morris of Vidalia says he's concerned, but not yet alarmed, over a budget proposal by the state Department of Corrections to close one of the three privately owned-and-operated prisons in the state. Corrections Commissioner James Donald estimates he can save nearly a third of his department's budget deficit by closing either the Wheeler Correctional Facility in Alamo or one of the others located in Coffee County or Folkston. According to Morris, Donald will have to defend his recommendations when state lawmakers return to Atlanta this Fall for budget meetings. Morris believes Wheeler is the best run prison in the state. It has 333 positions and contributes nearly $16 million to the area's economy each year.
September 28-- Toombs County plans to advertise for a new Emergency Management Agency director to succeed longtime EMA boss Ronald Widener who retired this month. Applicants for the job will be reviewed by a committee made up of representatives from 911 and the fire and police departments in Vidalia and Lyons. The committee's recommendation will be made to the county commission for approval. In the interim, Dale Yarbrough will serve as acting EMA director according to decisions made at a called meeting of the Toombs County commissioners Tuesday morning.
September 27-- Heavy rain and high winds disrupted schools in the area Monday, but little damage or problems were reported by local officials as the remnants of Hurricane Jeanne passed through the area. There were only sporadic power outages caused by falling limbs, and nothing like the disruptions earlier this month when Frances dropped over a foot of rain.
Meanwhile, several area counties are among 56 in the state which are eligible to receive federal funding and assistance to recover from Frances. Montgomery County manager Keith Hamilton says the funds will be used to help pay for road repairs in the southern part of the county. Other area counties to get disaster assistance are Wheeler, Tattnall, Appling, Candler, Evans, Bacon, Dodge and Laurens.
September 27-- The Wheeler Correctional Facility in Alamo may close due to state budget cuts. Area press reports say the Georgia Department of Corrections is recommending that one of the state's privately-owned and operated prisons be shut down. The other two prisons are in Coffee County and in Folkston. The prison in Alamo has an annual payroll of over $11 million and employs workers from a seven-county area, according to prison officials. No word on when a final decision will be made on which prison will close.
September 27-- A special term of Toombs County Superior Court was to convene Monday but was not needed when defendants entered guilty pleas. Clerk of Court Chess Fountain says Florida resident Miller Lee Smith was sentenced to a five-year jail term and five years probation for distribution of cocaine. In another case, Felicia Jean Scott of Vidalia got a probated sentence and will pay for medical costs related to the February stabbing of Everette Jones, her daughter's boyfriend.
September 26-- Expected bad weather overnight has prompted several school systems in the area to close Monday. The following area school systems are closed for students and faculty.
Vidalia, Montgomery County, Truetlen, RTCA, Vidalia Heritage Academy, Jeff Davis, Appling, Tattnall, Wheeler, Telfair, Emanuel and Bacon. Also closed, Middle Georgia College. STC is between semesters, but staff and faculty are to report if possible.
Toombs County schools are open till further notice.
The Blood Drive at J.D. Dickerson School is cancelled and will be re-scheduled.
Closed pre-schools include Toombs County Headstart, Time for Tots and both Lighthouse Early Start Academies.
September 24-- A new housing development in Lyons is one of 32 in the state selected by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs to receive affordable housing funding. A Sarasota, Florida limited partnership, Beneficial Development, will receive nearly $640,000 in tax credits to build the 72-unit, $5 million complex on a 7.5 acre site near the intersection of North Tenth Street and Highway 52 on the east side of Lyons. The Lyons city council had passed a resolution supporting the Pensacola company's application and Mayor John Moore welcomed the announcement. The housing will be rented only to low and moderate income citizens and is funded in part by federal and state low income housing tax credit programs.
September 24-- A Vidalia man was injured in a motorcycle-car collision late Thursday. Police say Richard Thigpen was riding his motorcycle and collided with a car driven by Louise Blount as she was turning into a driveway off Center Drive. Thigpen was taken to Meadows Regional Medical Center.
September 24-- The sales tax rate in Toombs County will fall from seven percent to six percent starting October 1st. The Georgia Department of Revenue is informing local merchants by letter that the one percent local option sales tax for education is expiring as of September 30th because all of the money has been collected three months ahead of schedule. The five-year tax had been scheduled to expire the end of December.
Meanwhile, the Toombs County school board is proposing that another SPLOST be approved to help build a new elementary school and finance other projects in the Toombs County school system. The Vidalia school board would also have to participate and voters would have to approve a new sales tax for education. The earliest a vote could be taken would be March, 2005.
September 23-- Senator Tommie Williams of Lyons says a couple of comments by his opponent in the 19th Senatorial District race need clarification. Candidate Hugh McCullough criticized budget cuts by the Perdue administration on some seniors in nursing homes. Williams claims the cuts had to be made to stop an influx of seniors moving to Georgia to take advantage of a generous benefit program, and that the cuts only effected 1,700 nursing home patients, all but 25 of whom have been able to remain in nursing care by establishing Miller Trusts.
McCullough also claimed Perdue cut education and medical benefits while funding pork projects such as a state golf course in Reidsville. Williams counters by saying those funds came from $40 million in bonds obtained under the leadership of former House Speaker Tom Murphy to build a lake in his home district. The lake never got built, but the bonds either had to be re-directed or the state would have to pay fees to retire them. Williams says he and many other legislators used the money for Department of Natural Resources projects around the state.
September 22-- By a five-to-one margin, voters in Treutlen County Tuesday approved a one percent local option sales tax to help pay for county schools. Superintendent Chuck Ellington says the vote was 504 for the sales tax and only 92 against. The tax will take effect in January and is expected to raise $1.2 million dollars over three years.
September 22-- Glennville attorney Hugh McCullough is undaunted in his campaign to win Georgia's 19th Senatorial seat. Democrat McCullough notes that the 19th has been reconfigured and that many of the voters who elected Republican Senator Tommie Williams of Lyons are no longer in the district. Governor Sonny Perdue has endorsed Williams in the race, however, McCullough believes the Perdue record of budget cuts to Georgia schools is causing concern among voters. He also notes voters are talking about how Perdue cut medical benefit to some seniors in nursing homes, but funded pork barrel projects like a new golf course in Reidsville.
September 21-- An area high school is a region winner in the annual Governor's Cup SAT competition for high school seniors who show the most improvement in test scores. Seniors at Montgomery County High School showed the most improvement in Region 4-A with an average combined scored of 906, an eight-point improvement over the previous year. In addition to a trophy, the school receives $1,000 as the region winner.
The Governor's Cup also uses seniors' SAT scores to rank schools in each Georgia High School Association region. In Region 3-AA, Bleckley County is number one with Vidalia ranked third and Toombs County High School ranked seventh. In Region 4-A, Telfair County High School has the number one SAT ranking with Montgomery County High School ranked sixth and Treutlen High School ranked eighth.
Winners and rankings statewide are at www.SATrocks.com
September 20-- Only a handful of Georgia school systems are not using a local option sales tax to help finance their schools. Tuesday citizens of Treutlen County are being asked by the county school board to go to the polls and approve a three-year one percent sales tax which is expected to raise an estimated $1.2 million dollars. The money would be earmarked for a number of needs including acquisition of land to build a new school complex in Treutlen County.
September 20-- The state Department of Transportation plans to open bids October 22nd for construction of the one-way pairing system in Vidalia. The department says that if it gets a good bid for the project, a signed contract and notice to proceed with the work would follow in about three weeks. The project includes widening of Highway 280 from just west of Sunset Drive to Broadfoot Boulevard, and construction of a one-way pair system starting just east of Brinson Road and continuing to just west of Leslie Street. Highway 280 will be used for one-way eastbound traffic with South Main Street used for one-way westbound traffic.
September 20-- There's encouraging news regarding a Robert Toombs Crusader football player injured in Saturday night's game with Memorial. Senior linebacker Carson Smith experienced neck pain following the game and was taken to Memorial Medical Center in Savannah Sunday when it was discovered he had cracked vertebras in his neck. Reports from the school say Carson will remain in the hospital for a couple of days observation and that he will probably have to wear a brace for up to three months. He was seen by the same neurosurgeon who treated his brother, Eric Smith, when he suffered serious head injuries in a car wreck earlier this year. Eric remains in a coma. Both boys are the grandson of former longtime Vidalia Rec Department director Ed Smith.
September 20-- Local Republicans paid their money and lined up Friday to have their pictures taken with Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue. The governor visited Baxley in the morning for a fundraiser for Senator Tommie Williams of Lyons, and he was in Vidalia Friday afternoon on behalf of Rick Berry of Lyons, who is trying to unseat incumbent Democrat Greg Morris in the state general assembly. Perdue says Berry will help pass a conservative agenda in the Georgia house of representatives.
September 17-- The United Way of Toombs, Montgomery and Wheeler counties kicked off its annual campaign Friday in Vidalia and set its largest goal ever, according to executive director Patricia Dixon. The goal is $439,500 and early events and pacemaker companies have already raised two-thirds of the goal, $290,097.69. Campaign chairman Phillips Williams says the campaign got a big jump start from the Trane Company when local plant manager Denny McShane announced a company donation of $157,563. Williams reminded those attending Friday's kickoff that the United Way remains focused on raising local funds to help local people through its 25 community service agencies.
September 16-- A place for patients' families at Meadows Regional Medical Center in Vidalia is a step closer to reality thanks to the annual Sweet Onion Classic golf tournament held Wednesday in Vidalia. Classic board chairman Tom Findley estimates $45,000 was raised by this year's tournament. The funds will pay the second installment of a three-year pledge by the Sweet Onion Classic board to build a place near the hospital where families from out of town can stay. Over a hundred golfers paid $500 each to support this year's event. The Sweet Onion Classic is in its 15th year of generating funds for various community projects.
September 16-- The city of Lyons has named a Waycross firm to make road and drainage improvements in the southeast part of the city. At its September meeting, the Lyons city council awarded a $664,480 contract to Elmer Thrift Construction. A state grant will fund most of the costs, however, the city is providing nearly $115,000 in local funds to pay the balance.
In other actions, the city council changed zoning criteria by increasing the minimum size of a lot which can be zoned for single family residential homes. The size was increased from 12,000 to 20,000 square feet. The council also approved a $15,000 annual contract with Frank Clark of Twin City to collect cardboard and recycling items for the city, and it returned the business license to the owner of Big Boy's Club on Highway 280 with the admonition that if there are any more problems with crowds and fights at the club, the license will be revoked permanently.
September 15-- Toombs County commissioners are studying a new county law aimed at stopping the influx of sub-standard mobile homes in the county. The ordinance was prepared by county tax assessor Ed Gartman and presented to the September meeting of the county commission by commissioner Durward NeeSmith. NeeSmith toured the county with commissioner Mel Talor and Gartman and was "disturbed" by the numerous trailers which he claims are not fit for habitation. He says they are unsafe and unsanitary. The new county law would require mobile home owners to present a county permit to power companies before electricity could be hooked up. The ordinance is expected to be approved in October and initially enforced by the tax assessor's office.
September 15-- An item in the Vidalia weekly newspaper's speak out column last week criticized Vidalia police for allegedly harassing a man seen on the street with a sign which read, "Need Work." Turns out the police officer was trying to help the man, and he did. Police officials say the officer stopped to talk to the man and to tell him where he could find work. He took the advice, found some work, and later thanked Chief Darrel Collins for the officer's help.
September 14-- Vidalia has been trying to rid itself of abandoned, dilapidated houses for some time, but has made slow progress. Monday night the city council approved a quarter-million dollars to help low-to-moderate income owners remove the houses and cleanup the vacant lots. Mayor Ronnie Dixon says less than 30 such houses have been torn down in the past few years and he's hopeful the new program will expedite the cleanup. Toombs County commissioners have also agreed to help out by not charging the city for the rubble which comes to the county construction and demolition landfill.
The city council also awarded an $854,000 contract to Elmer Thrift Construction of Waycross for storm drainage and street improvements, and a nearly $400,000 contract to TCA Electrical Contractors of Omega for new runway lighting at the Vidalia Regional Airport.
Vidalia is also annexing over a hundred acres of land owned by the city near the airport, and is de-annexing 9.5 acres of land in the same area at the request of landowner Bob James.
The council also agreed that Halloween will be observed in the city on Thursday, October 28th since Halloween this year falls on Sunday.
September 13-- Like other county road departments in the area, Toombs County road crews are working to repair roads which are impassable due to heavy rains the last two weeks. Tuesday county commissioners authorized road foreman Fuzzy Swain to contract with McLendon Construction for extra trucks to haul dirt and sand to the washed out roads.
Meanwhile, commissioner Mel Taylor reports work should begin before winter on paving the roads in the Quail Ridge sub-division south of Vidalia. He is also reports a portion the Lyons-Center Road has been added to the state's resurfacing program, and the commission supported his recommendation to start condemnation procedures against property owners on the Clifford Rogers Road who are refusing right-of-way and stalling state efforts to pave three miles of the road.
Commission chairman Charles Rustin appointed commissioners Durward NeeSmith and Louie Powell to recommend a successor to longtime EMA director Ronald Widener who is retiring this month.
September 12-- The Georgia unemployment rate in July was about one percent lower that the national rate. The U.S. unemployment rate in July was 5.5 percent, but most area counties were slightly higher than the state and national rates, according to information released over the weekend.
Wheeler County has the highest area unemployment rate in the area with 7.1 percent, Toombs County had 6.7 percent unemployed in July, Treutlen County 5.7 percent, Montgomery County 5.1 percent, and Tattnall County 4.5 percent, a full percentage point below the national average. The city of Vidalia had a 5.8 percent unemployment rate in July, an improvement of nearly one percent over July of 2003.
September 12-- The Southeastern Tech Foundation reports results of its ninth annual fundraising campaign. Officials say this year's drive raised $165,000 which will be used for medical technology at the Vidalia campus, improvements on the Glennville campus, adult literacy, equipment and scholarships. The foundation is made up of members from Toombs, Montgomery and Tattnall counties and raises money to supplement the state budget at the school. A hundred percent of the school's faculty and staff contributed to this year's campaign and raised $10,000.
September 9-- An appeal has gone out to help a family whose mobile home had its roof blown off during the visit of Frances Monday night. Matt and Janice Smith lost their home in the Wildwood Trailer Park on Highway 292 and could use some help to get back on their feet. The couple has one child and two foster children, ages two, five and 15. They had no insurance. If you can help, contact Janice's sister, Debbie McLendon, 537-1010.
September 9-- When the heavy rains came this week, Vidalia city police again had to respond to the flooding at Green and Highway 280 which happens every time there are significant showers in Vidalia. The good news is that the upcoming one-way pairing project should make that flooding a thing of the past. Vidalia city manager Bill Torrance says the city made a strong case to the state highway department that additional drainage should be engineered into the project. The state is planning to put the multimillion dollar project out for bids next month and Torrance believes work should be started by April of next year.
September 9-- For the fourth year in a row, enrollment at Brewton Parker College in Mount Vernon has increased, according to school president Dr. David Smith. Enrollment for the Fall semester is 1,136, a two-and-a-half percent increase over last year. School officials say the increase is due to increased student numbers at the Mount Vernon Campus which has a head count of 651 students.
September 8-- With the exception of Jeff Davis County, schools in the area are back in session Thursday, although school superintendents are cautioning that school buses may be running late due to bad roads caused by more than a foot of rain which fell in the area Monday and Tuesday.
Electrical power is also coming back on. The Georgia Power Company reports service to most of its customers has been restored in the area in and around Toombs County. Meanwhile, Altamaha EMC's Tammy Vaughn says their crews and contract crews hope to have everybody back on line by late Thursday.
Regarding cleanup efforts, Vidalia city manager Bill Torrance advises residents to put their fallen limbs and yard trash on the street and the city will get it picked up at no extra charge. Torrance is also hopeful the flooding experienced at the corner of Greene and First Streets every time there's a heavy rain will be solved by higher capacity drains as part of the soon-to-be let one-way pairing project. The contract is supposed to be let in October with work to start in the early Spring.
September 6-- First district congressman Jack Kingston paid a visit to Toombs County Friday to help raise money for third district congressional candidate Calder Clay of Macon. Kingston says President Bush needs more Republicans in the U.S. House to support the President's political agenda. Clay lost to incumbent congressman Jim Marshall by about one percent in the last congressional election, and since then Clay says Marshall has voted too often with the liberal wing of the Democratic party. According to Clay, he and Marshall differ on a number of issues including gay marriage, estate taxes and tort reform.
September 8--
September 3-- On the same day that Vidalia High School started its last season at Charles Wood Field, local officials held a groundbreaking for a new football complex on a huge field to the rear of the high school. School board chairman Bill Bedingfield thanked voters for supporting a local option sales tax which raised a million dollars for the project. Former coaches Buck Cravey and Ralph Parsons were among those present. Coach Cravey says the new facility will benefit the Indian football program, and Coach Parsons says the quality of the Indian program is due in large part to the support of the community. The new field is phase one of a two-phase project which is also planned to provide a field house and training facility for the Indians, according to head coach Sid Fritts.
September 1-- There are two aspects of Hurricane Frances as it may effect the Toombs County area. Since its unclear which way the hurricane may go when it hits the east coast of Florida, local officials may have to open shelters for hurricane refugees, or, if the winds are threatening this far north, they may have to consider ordering evacuation of local residents.
At a meeting of area emergency officials Thursday at the Toombs County Emergency Management Agency in Lyons, director Ronald Widener wanted to make sure that all concerned agencies were prepared for either contingency. Local EMA officials plan to open their operations center Sunday morning based on predictions that the worst weather would arrive in our area late Sunday or early Monday morning.
County commission chairman Charles Rustin says he's confident local agencies are ready to respond as needed. The Red Cross would use local schools for shelters if needed, the 1st United Methodist Church of Vidalia is prepared to accept residents of a Savannah Nursing Home as it did several years ago for Hurricane Floyd, police are getting ready for heavy traffic, and agencies like DFACs and Meadows Regional are standing by.
In the event of a general power outage, officials recommend car or battery powered radios tuned to 97.7, 98Q in Vidalia, for local emergency information.
September 1-- Governor Sonny Perdue has declared a state of emergency in Georgia in preparation for the impact of Hurricane Frances. The action was taken to prepare for possible damage and localized flooding, and to prevent price gouging of people in need of gas, food, lodging and supplies. State law prohibits increase of prices on such goods and services during a declared state of emergency. Meanwhile, the Toombs County Emergency Management Agency has called a meeting Thursday at two p.m. to discuss local plans and preparations. The last time the agency met to discuss hurricane planning was several years ago when Hurricane Floyd caused evacuation of Savannah and hundreds of visitors hunkered down in Vidalia to ride it out.
September 1-- A couple of sitting officials are coming to Vidalia to support Republican challengers of Democratic incumbents.
First District Congressman Jack Kingston visits Chatters in Lyons Friday morning for a breakfast fundraiser on behalf of Calder Clay of Macon. Clay is trying to unseat first-term Congressman Jim Marshall.
Governor Sonny Perdue is coming to the Vidalia Regional Airport Friday afternoon, September 17th, to raise money for Rick Berry of Lyons who's running against Greg Morris of Vidalia.
September 1-- It happens one person at a time, and it's happening in Toombs, Montgomery and Tattnall counties. An adult illiteracy rate of 40 percent has plagued the area for years. So much so that three years ago the Southeastern Certified Literate Community Board was formed and partnered with the state to make a concerted seven-year push to improve literacy. Board chairperson Cathy Moses says dramatic progress is being made, "Our ten-year goal was to improve the literacy levels of 7,600 people in our three counties, and as of today, 3,621 people have done that. We have completed 43 percent of our goal." Moses says the literacy program is improving people's lives and the economic future of the area. And to those who would like improve themselves, her advice is to "make the call" to adult literacy centers in Vidalia, Mount Vernon, Reidsville and Glennville.
