June 30-- Candler County has got so many beavers the county fathers are considering paying for pelts. County administrator Milton Futch says the beaver dams pose a flooding problem to county roads when heavy rains cause them to burst.
The Candler County budget has a $20,000 line item this year that could be used to pay a $25 beaver bounty. That works out to 800 beavers. However, Futch says, at this point, the fund is only in the budget as a contingency while officials consult with the Department of Natural Resources about what they can and cannot do to the beavers. Futch believes other counties have paid for beaver, but so far, Candler officials have made no final decisions, he says.
June 30-- Vidalia city officials are reviewing 40 applications for the open chief of police job. City manager Bill Torrance reports applications have come from in and out-of-state, from large and same towns, and from within the department including Captains Kevin Collins and Roger Callaway. He hopes the city council can make a hiring decision by the end of July.
June 29-- It all started on the web. Toombs County Development Authority director Bill Mitchell says Simonton Windows surfed the web and saw the county's new "spec" building on the chamber's web page. After numerous visits and much discussion, company president Rick Keup says the availability of a strong local work force was the deal maker.
Simonton is one of the nation's leading window manufacturers and plans to open its new plant in the Toombs Industrial Park on U.S. One north of Lyons this Fall. It will start with 85 employees and plans to grow that to 150 in two to three years.
Keup says local leaders, including the mayors of Vidalia and Lyons, made a good impression on company officials. Mitchell says the company turned down an offer to abate county school taxes as part of the location package because "they want to contribute to the growth of an educated work force."
However, in return for jobs, Simonton will pay no Toombs County or Lyons property taxes for ten years, and local governments will help pay moving expenses and provide some in-kind services. The Development Authority is also serving as a conduit for the sale of up to $10 million in industrial bonds by the state of Georgia. Once the bonds are sold, Mitchell says the company will pay the Development Authority $1.1 million as part of a lease-purchase agreement on the county's "spec" building. The company plans to use $8 million of the bond money for manufacturing equipment and to configure the interior of the building.
June 28-- Lawmakers in Georgia are planning to follow through on legislation which would protect private property owners from land grabs by local governments in the name of economic development. A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in a Connecticut case supported the city of New London in condemning a working class neighborhood to allow a private redevelopment project to create jobs and a wealthier tax base.
Senate majority leader Tommie Williams of Lyons says the court decision is wrong and he will support a senate bill to protect Georgians from such government abuse of power. Senator Williams plans to work with leaders in the Georgia House to pass Senate Bill 86 when the legislature reconvenes in January.
State representative Greg Morris of Vidalia agrees with Senator Williams and plans support the senate measure when it comes up for a vote in the house. "To take one person's private property to enrich another is just wrong," Morris says.
June 27-- We should know soon if a contract will be awarded for construction of one-way pairs in Vidalia. The Department of Transportation opened bids June 17th and said it would take two weeks to determine if the bid is acceptable. It's the fourth time in 12 months the department has opened bids to one-way Highway 280 to the East and South Main Street to the West. In each case, DOT officials said the bids were too high. Once awarded, it could take from two to three years to complete the project.
June 27-- Toombs County is receiving federal and state funds to replace a dam which was destroyed last Fall in the southern part of the county. Commission chairman Charles Rustin says the county's application for $295,401.01 has been approved to replace the John Dees Road Pond Dam. The earthen dam was washed away by heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Frances last October. The funds are contingent on approval of construction permits by environmental officials.
June 27-- Toombs County commissioners have approved a property tax millage rate of 10.45 mils for 2006, the same rate as this year according to commission chairman Charles Rustin. Because of growth in the county, the tax rate is expected to increase county revenues by about four percent.
June 27-- In the future, the Vidalia Onion Festival will be held starting the last Wednesday in April. The decision was made by the Vidalia City council on the recommendation of the Onion Festival Committee. The festival date has varied the last few years to accommodate the marquee acts of the festival air show.
June 27-- A $2 million state grant will help locate a boat plant in Appling County. Officials at the Appling County Industrial Authority report Contender Boats, manufacturer of high performance sport fishing boats, will spend over $10 million to locate on a 25-acre site in the county's industrial park. The company plans to hire 234 employees to start with a goal of 424 workers in five years.
June 27-- Bankrupt supermarket giant Winn-Dixie announced Tuesday that it will close 35 percent of it’s stores including stores in Vidalia, Baxley, Claxton, Dublin and McRae as well as others. The company said it will shutter 326 of its 913 stores in the coming months and will reduce its workforce by 28 percent under its proposed Chapter 11 reorganization plan. Winn-Dixie spokesperson Dennis Wortham says that the decision to close specific stores was based on market analysis that showed which stores had the best market share and would help the company achieve their goal of financial recovery. Wortham went on to say that each location, including the Vidalia store would try to sell the store to another company rather than close it outright, with hopes of helping the present employees and if the store can’t be sold then assistance would be provided as well as a severance package for the employees. The Georgia Department of Labor has said that they will help the employees file claims for unemployment insurance and give them access to services designed to get them back to work as quickly as possible. They also stated in a news release that they would assist workers who need additional skills to find appropriate training.

June 25-- The Juvenile Justice System in the State of Georgia is stepping up its efforts in order to help teens avoid trouble with the law. Middle Circuit Juvenile Judge Tom Rawlings recently spoke with the Vidalia Kiwanis Club and explained that he himself has started to take a pro-active stance when it comes to young people, by going into High Schools and explaining to the students as well as the parents on how and what laws effect them. Rawlings explained that most traffic laws and their consequences are more severe for young drivers, and that these talks have been received well by young people, who at times are hearing the law for the first time. According to Rawlings some of these laws have been in effect for quite a while, while still others like the new laws concerning loss of license for excessive school absences and school disruption will take effect July 1st. Rawlings went on to say that over one-third of all accidents among teenagers, involves alcohol and concluded by saying that this is a team effort and that peer intervention is essential to be successful.
June 23-- The Toombs County Economy will got a much needed boost on Thursday, when Simonton Windows, one of the nation’s leading window manufacturers out of Parkersburg, West Virginia announced that they will be opening a manufacturing plant in Toombs County. The company will occupy the 100,000 square foot spec building in the Toombs County Industrial Park and will initially bring 80 to 85 new jobs to the area with up to 150 new jobs in two or three years. Toombs County Development Authority Executive Director Bill Mitchell said that the project had been in the works for the last few months and that Toombs County was chosen over other Georgia communities because of many factors including proximity to the interstate and more importantly the availability and performance of the workforce in the area. Mitchell went on to say that this was a total team effort between all communities and that this is a prime example of how good things happen when everybody works together. In a press release Simonton Vice President of Manufacturing Jody Garrett echoed Mitchell’s comments saying “we were extremely pleased with what local employees had to say when we evaluated Toombs County as a potential location for our new facility. They spoke in glowing terms about the community’s work ethic and dedication. Toombs County, with its nearby access to I-16, will be a great place for us,” he said. This will be Simonton’s 8th plant joining 3 manufacturing facilities in W.VA along with (1) each in Ill., Fla., Okla. and Calif.
June 22-- A Toombs County resident became the counties first traffic fatality of the year as the result of a one-car accident Monday afternoon. Sgt. Doug Maybin, Post Commander of the Georgia State Patrol office in Reidsville, said that 32-year-old Francis Clayton Smith Jr. of a Rock Springs Road address, died as a result of injuries sustained in the accident. Smith apparently lost control of his 1995 Pontiac Bonneville around 6:30 pm while traveling west on Rock Springs Road. Maybin went on to say that the vehicle left the roadway and traveled some distance off the road then crossed the road and became airborne before striking a tree. Toombs County Coroner Ronald Hall who said that Smith died of multiple head and internal injuries pronounced Smith dead at the scene. According to Maybin, Smith who had recently moved to the area from Massachusetts was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident and had to be removed with the assistance of the Jaws of Life. Maybin said this appeared to be an alcohol related accident and that results of blood tests taken, are pending from the Georgia Crime lab.
June 22-- A defamation case brought by Vidalia City Manager Bill Torrance against Vidalia attorney Mitch Shook will apparently head to trial after both parties had motions for summary judgments denied. Superior Court Judge Walter C. McMillan, Chief Judge of the Middle Circuit denied both parties motions after a hearing in May. Torrance brought the suit after Shook allegedly called Torrance a murderer in the presence of others at a Vidalia restaurant and allegedly accused Torrance of killing Henry Dickerson.
June 21-- A Fulton County Judge will hear oral arguments on Thursday on whether to dismiss or allow a lawsuit to proceed that was filed by dozens of rural school districts challenging the way Georgia funds its public education system. The Consortium was brought together by smaller public school systems as a way to be able to get equal funding from the state. The lawsuit claims that rural school systems are at a disadvantage when it comes to state funding and want a level playing field for their students. Treutlen County School Superintendent Chuck Ellington says that austerity cuts, led the Treutlen County board of Education to become involved in the suit with 50 other districts. Ellington went on to say that the consortium hoped that by bringing the lawsuit it would focus on the way that the state participated in the funding of education. The bottom line says Ellington, is that all kids should have the same funds and opportunities, regardless of location. Gov Sonny Perdue has previously opposed the lawsuit, saying that state money would be better spent on education rather than on legal fees needed to defend a lawsuit.
June 17-- Over 2,000 pounds of Sweet Vidalia Onions were delivered last week to the nation's capitol. Delbert Bland of Bland Farms in Tattnall County drove the onions to Washington where Senators Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss presented 10-pound boxes to their Senate colleagues.
June 16-- The U.S. Department of Education has granted Georgia's request for flexibility in the standards used to grade annual yearly progress. Under the new guidelines, all four of the schools in Vidalia and the system as a whole made annual yearly progress. Last year, some of the schools were penalized because special education students were unable to pass required tests. School superintendent Dr. Tim Smith said the new federal guidelines recognize that some students need a break in academics. The new federal rules also give students more time to graduate, and that should help graduation rates, according to Dr. Smith.
June 16-- An estimated 1,800 cyclists arrive in Vidalia Thursday as part of the annual Bike Ride Across Georgia (BRAG) to raise funds for the Special Olympics. John Wood of BRAG reports riders will make their way from Dublin to Vidalia via Soperton and Tarrytown Thursday morning. Once here, they will camp at J.R. Trippe Middle School on Highway 297 and depart early Friday for Jesup. The ride ends Saturday at Jekyll Island.
June 14-- The Lyons city council voted Tuesday night to revoke the business license of the Club Outlaw Productions, scene of fights and suspected drug use among patrons. After an hour-and-a-half public hearing, the council approved motions made by councilman Wayne Hartley. The motions found the club has violated the city's alcohol ordinance, mark it as a public nuisance, and revoked its license to do business. Police chief Ricky Newsome claims minors were in the club under the influence of drugs and alcohol. He reported the mother of a 15-year-old girl claimed the drug Ecstasy was distributed in the club. Mayor John Moore says the council vote sends a signal that such operations will not be tolerated in Lyons. Vidalia attorney Susan Shook, representing owners Delwin Outlaw and Kelvin Beasley, says chances are good an appeal will be filed in Toombs County Superior Court.
June 14-- Longtime Toombs County tax assessor Ed Gartman is resigning as of August 1st. During Gartman's tenure, the county's property values have quadrupled in value from $250 million to over a billion dollars. The tax digest this year increased over $20 million based mostly on new construction in the county, and will provide the county about four percent more in taxes than last year.
June 14-- Toombs County commission chairman Charles Rustin says its looks favorable that funds will be forthcoming from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to rebuild a dam on Dee's Pond which was destroyed by hurricane-related weather last year. At the commission's June meeting, it was also reported the state Department of Transportation has given the okay for the paving of nearly three miles of the Clifford Rogers road, a project which has been held up by lack of right-of-way for years. The state has also approved resurfacing of the Marvin Church Road, according to commissioner Mel Taylor.
June 13-- The city of Vidalia is planning to use 104 acres for a new city recreation complex in southeast Vidalia. The site on the Ezra Taylor Road was originally designated for the joint Vidalia-Toombs County football stadium which never came to pass. City manager Bill Torrance got city council approval Monday night to apply for a $100,000 state grant to help offset some of the costs for the estimated $1 million dollar complex. He says it will include softball fields for adults, soccer fields, and a 30-acre lake for public fishing.
Meanwhile, the council was briefed by chamber of commerce director Bill Mitchell regarding a feasibility study for a reservoir in this area. The state has money to help communities statewide conduct such studies, and Mitchell says he's hopeful this area can obtain funding. However, he emphasized that a mock map released last week at the Montgomery County commission meeting has nothing to do with where such a reservoir might ultimately be located. He says that's the purpose of the study.
In retail news, Paula Toole of the Downtown Vidalia Association reported a new store, Fanatic Sports, has opened on Meadows Street downtown, and that two downtown stores, Triple A Office Supply and Banana Pudding, are closing.
The city is renewing its contract with Sullivan Environmental Services for trash pickup. There is no increase for residential or commercial customers, however, the $752,000 annual contract does include a nearly $30,000 annual increase to be absorbed by the city.
The council gave the go ahead to seek bids for a repaving project for Atlantic Avenue, and to proceed with city sewage projects on Forest Hills Drive and Tap Drive.
And city manager Bill Torrance reports that, so far, the city has received 20 applications for the city's vacant police chief's job. The deadline for applications is June 30.
June 10-- A Toombs County grand jury returned 14 true bills after deliberating earlier this month. Fifty-year-old Alfonso Mitchell of Lyons was charged with the beating and stabbing death of his 82-year-old stepmother, Frankie Hart, last December.
Eight indictments related to cocaine offenses were returned against ten people including Lavertes Anthony, Glenno Harden, Arthur Lee Horne, Ricardo Sipp, Russell Bell, Dale Anthony, Latonya Robinson, Deborah Jo Codling, Eddie Roundtree and Quinton Rhymes.
In a drug-related case, Gwyneth Yarbrough was indicted for obtaining controlled substances by forgery. She's accused of taking a prescription pad from Barrett Dental and writing at least 15 fraudulent prescriptions, mostly for percocet.
Burglary indictments were returned against Christopher Dowd, Joshua Moss and Harold Johnson, Jr. for business burglaries in Lyons. Christopher Mosley and Benjamin Poole were indicted for burglary of a camper and damaging a boat owned by R.T. Stanley.
In an insurance fraud case brought by the state Insurance Commissioner, Meredith Dianne Sowell was indicted on seven counts of insurance fraud. She's accused of taking premium payments from four customers and using the money for her own personal benefit without buying the insurance.
The grand jury also indicted Jimmy Musgrove of Vidalia for a hunting incident which resulted in the injury of his nephew, Richard Gayle, Jr. The four-count indictment accuses Musgrove of misuse of a firearm while hunting, hunting without a license, hunting without participating in the federal migratory bird harvest information program, and hunting without completing a hunter education safety course. Gayle suffered a shotgun blast to the head at a dove shoot in September, 2003. The grand jury accused Musgrove of a "gross deviation" in firearm safety by pointing a loaded firearm at another while having his finger on the trigger.
June 9-- A Lyons restaurant will remain closed at least until it can get a hearing before the Lyons city council. Mayor John Moore has called a meeting Tuesday night at six to hold a hearing for Club Outlaw Productions which the city closed this week after a fight with injuries in the restaurant's parking lot at three a.m. Monday. Restaurant attorney Susan Shook withdrew a request for an injunction ordering the city to temporarily return the license after the parties agreed to a hearing Tuesday. Lyons police blame drinking and drug use for the fight which resulted in injuries to four people. Police found plastic bags with traces of cocaine and marijuana in the parking lot.
June 9-- Toombs, Montgomery and Tattnall counties make up the first region in Georgia to receive the state's official designation as "entrepreneur friendly." A review team from the state made the announcement Thursday morning at the STC Economic Development Center in Vidalia. The designation makes it easier for local entrepreneurs to get state help with advice and loan guarantees for new businesses. If you've got a business idea, Mary Ellen McClanahan from the state Department of Economic Development advises you to contact David Yarbrough at Southeastern Tech for assistance. One young businessperson who has already benefited from Yarbrough's expertise is Tammy Stewart of Vidalia. Tammy is a graphic designer and is publishing a newspaper for children which she hopes will help them be better citizens when they grow up. The tri-county group will be honored by Governor Sonny Perdue at a One-Georgia conference next week in Cordele.
June 9-- A Lyons woman is nearly $58,000 richer after winning the Georgia Lotteries' Fantasy Five drawing June 7th. Margaret McLendon works in the shipping department at Georgia Hi-Tech in Vidalia. She got the winning ticket at Jani's Discount in Lyons which receives $2,000 for selling the winning ticket.
June 8-- The mayor of Lyons has pulled the business license of a Lyons restaurant after a fight broke out in the parking lot early Monday morning. Police chief Ricky Newsome says four people went to the hospital from the fight at Club Outlaw Productions, formerly the Cabaret, in Lyons. Later some of the patrons moved to the Hungry Jack parking in Lyons where two more people were injured in a fight, according to Chief Newsome.
Vidalia attorney Susan Shook, representing proprietors Delwin Outlaw and Kelvin Beasley, attended Tuesday night's meeting of the Lyons city council and requested that a hearing be held on return of the business license. Mayor John Moore told Shook to contact the city attorney to arrange a hearing. In the meantime, Shook's office says a motion will be filed in Toombs County Superior Court for an injunction ordering return of the license until a city council hearing can be arranged.
The restaurant does not have a liquor license, however, Lyons police report alcohol was prevalent in the parking lot when fighting broke out in a crowd of more than a hundred people about three a.m. Monday. They also suspect drug use. Shook claims the business cannot be held responsible for what customers do in the parking lot, but Mayor Moore says he's responsible for the safety of the town's citizens and won't tolerate drinking and fighting in public.
In other actions, city councilman Ivey Toole, Jr. recommended the city start a long range project to replace water lines which are causing rust-colored water. The council agreed to ask the city's consulting engineer to provide cost estimates on such a project.
June 7-- The Montgomery County Commissioners are the first in the area to request state help in conducting a feasibility study on building a recreational reservoir in this part of southeast Georgia. At their June meeting, the commissioners passed a resolution which they hope will also be endorsed by commissioners in Toombs, Treutlen and Tattnall counties. Although no decisions on location have been made, the commission was given a mock map depicting an 1800-acre lake in the northeastern part of the county and crossing the county line into Toombs County. The state has a $700,000 budget for the feasiblity study, according to Senator Tommie Williams of Lyons.
Montgomery commissioners also approved two ordinances which will take effect in August. One will govern the location of mobile homes in the county and will prohibit mobile homes more than ten years old from being moved into the county. The second ordinance sets up county standards for developers to follow when building sub-divisions in Montgomery County.
What to do about the closed county jail is a question the commissioners are trying to resolve. It's costing the county an average of $11,000 a month to place prisoners in jails operated by Toombs, Appling, Jeff Davis and Wheeler counties. Chairman Charles Truett says the county would like to have control of its own prisoners, however, he said all options are being explored including construction of a minimum size 24-bed jail. New construction would have to be financed by a tax increase or a special option local sales tax. Commissioner Mark Burns believes the county should give serious consideration to a long-term contract with another county to house prisoners. He says it makes no sense for small counties to build jails when consolidation would save tax money.
Meanwhile, Montgomery County Development Authority director Johnny Clifton reports a couple of large land deals in the county. He says a south Florida sod company paid $1.5 million dollars for 943 acres in the lower part of the county, and that Tom Peterson paid $375,000 for 109 acres off Old Savannah Road adjacent to Rocky Creek Golf Course for residential development.
June 6-- The city of Vidalia hopes to have a new police chief sometime in July. City manager Bill Torrance reports the position is being advertised through the Police Chiefs Association and the Georgia Municipal Association and in the Vidalia newspaper. The deadline for applications is June 30. The job has been unfilled since Chief Darrell Collins resigned in March. Meanwhile, plans to restructure the department are still in progress, according to Torrance, but may not happen until a new chief is on board.
June 6-- Departing from a long tradition of honoring one person as the Georgian of the Year, the Georgia Association of Broadcasters selected the men and women of the Georgia National Guard for the honor in 2005. Sergeant First Class Scott Riegel of the state headquarters in Atlanta accepted the award on behalf of the guard and said citizens of Georgia continue to make sacrifices to serve. According to Sergeant Riegel, patriotism is the main reason people say they join the Georgia National Guard.
At its annual meeting, Georgia broadcasters presented Vidalia Communications' radio stations the GAB's top awards for local news, programs and sports. The GAB "Golden Mike Award" was also presented for educating the public about proposed legislation in the last session of the state legislature which would have kept economic development information secret. Association president Randy Gravley warned the issue may come up again, and urged citizens to ask their elected representatives to vote for open government and against secrecy.
June 2-- State money is available on a matching basis to help local communities prepare feasibility studies for reservoirs. A reservoir for this part of Georgia has been discussed for the past two years, and Senator Tommie Williams of Lyons says, "I placed $700,000 in the state budget as seed money for such a project." According to Senator Williams, Development Authorities in the area need to cooperate and push for the necessary studies in order to determine the feasibility of such a multimillion dollar venture. He says a meeting with the Soil and Water Conservation Service is being planned as a first step to see what has to be done.
June 1-- Toombs County commissioners met Wednesday and approved an economic development loan to help a local company expand and create more jobs. The Toombs County Development Authority recommended approval of a seven-year, $100,000 low interest loan to Hawks Investments made up of Freddie Tippett and first cousins Lew and Win Tippett. The company has a lease-purchase agreement to buy the former Toombs Manufacturing building on Highway 292 in Lyons. Plans are to expand the current custom tile and blind business and to fabricate various types of counter tops including top of the line granite counter tops. Freddie Tippett says they hope to open in early August with 25 employees. The loan is from a revolving loan account funded by the state to encourage job creation in rural counties.
June 1-- A local economic development group sponsored by the Toombs-Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce has added two more areas of emphasis to its long-range development plan. At a forum Wednesday, members formed working committees to focus on development of a regional reservoir and to coordinate a rejuvenated high school vocational training program. Chamber president Marsha Temples says the new areas of emphasis complement five other topics which were adopted by the group when the forum was started last year under the leadership of then-chamber president Allen Rice. The group is continuing its work in the areas of healthcare, tourism, military contracts, port-related industries and agri-business.
