Police believe he was helped in the escape by his girlfriend Cathy Donnelly of Brunswick. Sheriff Junior Kight says 30-year-old Donald Wood of Brunswick fled the work crew and was picked up nearby by the woman. Tracker dogs quickly lost the scent and police theorize the pair headed south in the woman's pickup truck. Wood was working with a prison crew from the Treutlen boot camp where he was serving a term for forgery.

March 30-- The new state budget includes property tax relief which officials say is equal to an $8,000 homestead exemption. Senator Jack Hill of Reidsville reports the money is deducted from individual property tax bills and reimbursed to the county by the state. Officials estimate that in 2006 Toombs County would be reimbursed $852,794; Montgomery $337,328; and Treutlen $275,499.

March 28-- The murder of little Jessica Lunsford in Florida has made people start wondering about convicted sex offenders and where they live. The GBI reports its sex offender web page had more than 1.5 million hits this month, three times the normal average. Most of the hits happened after the girl's killer was arrested in Augusta and it was reported he was a convicted sex offender.
The GBI registry gives names and addresses of sex offenders ranging from Peeping Toms to rapists to child molesters. In our area, the registry includes 12 sex offenders living in Vidalia, 14 in Lyons, five in Uvalda, three in Mount Vernon and Ailey, and ten in Soperton. Toombs County Sheriff Junior Kite says his office keeps up with those on the registry. If they fail to report a change of address or are tardy in reporting, Sheriff Kite says warrants are issued for their arrest. Registered sex offenders in other area communities include 26 in Swainsboro, four in Adrian, one in Oak Park, eight each in Reidsville and Glennville, four in Collins and three in Cobbtown.
Most of the offenders' pictures are on the webpage. To check your neighborhood, go to www.ganet.org/gbi.

The next bid opening is April 22 and the Department of Transportation says it will announce the contract award within two weeks of the opening if the bid is acceptable.
March 25-- One of Toombs County's six volunteer fire departments is experiencing a shortage of volunteers.

March 25-- A few years back, the city of Vidalia secured government grants to help with refurbishing the downtown area south of the railroad tracks. Now the city has approved $6,500 to come up with a design to upgrade some of the business district on north Main Street. City officials say the design, once approved, will be submitted with a grant request to help fund the project which would refurbish sidewalks, lighting and curbs and gutters.
The city council has also allocated $10,000 to help Toombs County celebrate its centennial this year, and $4,700 has been allocated to do some work on the airport runway prior to this year's Onion Festival air show.
March 24-- Less than ten days after voters approved a one percent sales tax for education, the Vidalia School Board is moving out with plans to spend some of the estimated $9.7 million dollars it expects to collect during the next five years. At its meeting Thursday night, the board approved a contract for an architect to design a field house and athletic training facility in the sports complex behind Vidalia High School. Preliminary estimates are $2.2 million for the project.
The board was informed that Coach Jason McBride's promotion to the head coaching job for the Indian football team takes effect April 5th, and Phillip Jennings of Jennings Turf Farm in Soperton met with the board and promised to help grow an NFL-quality turf on the new Indian football field in time for the first game with Toombs County.
Also next school term, Vidalia is taking a new approach to alternative schooling. The board approved a $169,000 contract with the Ombudsman Program to run the program for an estimated 30 at-risk high school and middle school students. School superintendent Dr. Tim Smith says the computer-based program is intensive for students and has had good success in the Liberty County school system. Parents and students will have to agree to terms of the program before they will be admitted, according to Smith.
March 23-- The owner of Vidalia Funeral Home remains hospitalized in Macon a week after an auto accident. Frank Sherman was injured last week in a two-vehicle collision near McRae and was taken to the Medical Center of Georgia in Macon where he was admitted to the intensive care unit.
March 23-- The former director of the Ocmulgee Regional Library System been indicted by a federal grand jury on five counts of stealing federal grant funds and one count of witness tampering.

March 22-- The First Baptist Church of Vidalia is planning a $7 million project to build a new sanctuary and renovate other facilities in downtown Vidalia. Phase one of the project will be to remodel the old Super 10 building as an interim worship center for 700 people, according to Gary Campbell of the building committee. Additional parking will be gained by tearing down the old Piggly Wiggly building to the rear of the Vidalia post office. Phase two of the project will be construction of a new First Baptist sanctuary and educational facility at the corner of Highway 280 and Jackson Street. Campbell says the old church at the corner of 280 and Church Street will remain for use as a chapel and for the church's youth ministry. Church leaders hope phase one will start in a few months.
March 22-- English teacher Jeanne Barnard is the Instructor of the Year at Southeastern Technical College in Vidalia. She's been teaching at the school since 1999 and is a former faculty member at Robert Toombs Christian Academy. She will now represent STC in regional competition with the winner advancing to state judging in September.
March 21-- A group of travel writers made their way through South Georgia Monday including a visit to Toombs County. Carol Smith is editor of the travel industry periodical "Group Travel Magazine" from Holland, Michigan and an article she wrote about next month's production of "Tales of the Altamaha" is credited with helping spur early ticket sales. Joy Lewis of the Lyons Better Hometown program reports 2,400 tickets were available for the production and only about 300 remain. Many of the tickets were snapped up by excursion groups, and Smith says the stereotype of tour groups is changing. Even though retirees remain the majority of tour travelers, she's seeing younger people on tours in what she calls "intergenerational" travelers. Tourism is a multimillion dollar industry in Georgia and rural areas like Toombs County can benefit, according to Smith.
March 17-- The long-awaited industrial building in the new Toombs Industrial Park on US One officially opened with ribbon-cutting ceremonies Thursday. It's the first building in the 260-acre park. Rusty Moses, who chaired the Toombs County Development Authority when work on the 100,000 square foot building started, says its the result of a cooperative effort at many levels of local, state and federal government.
Local officials say five companies have already inquired about the $1.6 million dollar facility which architect Jim Mehserle says is "state of the art." The new industrial park is 13 miles south of Interstate 16 and Development Authority officials hope it will attract businesses interested in using the Port of Savannah. They also say the park will be even better positioned if the state ever follows through on plans to four-lane U.S. One from the interstate to Lyons.
March 17-- A new auto dealership officially opened Thursday in Vidalia. The Toombs-Montgomery Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon-cutting for Nissan of Vidalia owned by Gaylon Peters of Sarasota, Florida. General manager Steve Deutsch says the city of Vidalia has "bent over backwards" to make us feel welcome.
March 16-- City officials can't talk about why Vidalia's police chief resigned, but a front-page article in the Savannah Morning News claims its related to allegations of sexual harassment. A 28-year-old police records clerk, Leslie Crosby, resigned a few days after police chief Darrell Collins was placed on leave with pay pending an inquiry. According to Crosby, she and investigator Shannon Hayes had sex with the chief in the back of her Ford Escape one night last November. Following that, she told the paper she was subjected to sexual harassment on the job by Chief Collins.
Hayes declined a taped interview, but told us Crosby came up with the sexual harassment claims to counter performance problems she was having on the job. Hayes denies having sex with the chief that night, but confirms that Crosby and the chief had sex in the back seat while she sat in the front seat. According to Hayes, most of the other details in the Savannah Morning News' story are not true.
Crosby says the story is true, and that Hayes is trying to save her job. She says the people of Vidalia need to know what has been going on in the police department and as a new arrival in town, "I don't have to play small town politics."
A family spokesman for Darrell Collins says on advice of his lawyer, Collins has nothing to say at this time.
March 16-- There was a light voter turnout in Montgomery County Tuesday as voters approved extension of the county's one percent sales tax for education. The issue passed handily 302 to 35. School superintendent Dale Clark says the tax is estimated to raise $3.5 million over a five year period with much of it to be used for facility improvements at the high school.
March 15-- Only a few Toombs County voters went to the polls Tuesday, but those who did voted overwhelmingly in favor of a one percent local option sales tax for local education. With just under six percent of registered voters going to the polls, the referendum passed 529 to 155. All precincts in the county except Cedar Crossing approved the issue.
The tax should start by early Summer and is expected to raise nearly $20 million over a five-year period. Toombs County school board chairman Danny Bowen says most of the $10 million dollars which the county schools will receive will go to build a new elementary school.
The Vidalia School Board share of collections is $9.7 million and board chairman Bill Bedingfield says the money will help the board relieve the pressure on its operating budget through the purchase of school buses and textbooks and some renovations at various schools. Bedingfield is also hopeful the sales tax can lead to a reduction of school property taxes in the coming years.
March 14-- After being placed on administrative leave with pay last month, Vidalia Police Chief Darrell Collins resigned Monday. Vidalia Mayor Ronnie Dixon said the city council accepted Collins' resignation at its March meeting Monday night. Because it's a personnel issue, Mayor Dixon could not elaborate on details which prompted the city to conduct an inquiry by retired GBI agent Martin Moses two weeks ago. No information on Moses' findings was released. Mayor Dixon says the Vidalia Police Department will continue to be run by Captains Roger Calloway and Kevin Collins pending deliberations on the future structure of the department.
March 14-- A Lyons man was killed over the weekend and police are holding two suspects in connection with his death. Lyons Police Chief Ricky Newsome says 57-year-old Jimmy Burke of 242 Cauley Road in Lyons suffered fatal head injuries while being kicked and beaten. He reports the incident happened on Columbia Lane, an area of the city known for drug dealing. Police were called to the area just before 4 a.m. Saturday and Chief Newsome theorizes Burke's assailants took his money in a drug deal gone bad. The GBI has arrested two black males in the case and charged them with murder. They're identified as 17-year-old Wesley Lewis of North Lexington Street and Quinton Dasher, in his 20's, of Columbia Avenue. Both are being held in the Toombs County jail.
March 11-- We can all learn a lot from this year's top student at Southeastern Tech. Jessica Stone of Baxley has overcome deafness to be named the winner of the school's Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership. After graduating from Appling County High School in 1996, Jessica attended various colleges before she found her place at Southeastern Tech where she has a 4.0 grade point average. She says cosmetology is more than fixing hair, "it helps people feel better about themselves and improves their self-esteem." Jessica was nominated by her teacher Sandi Kicklighter who believes her hearing handicap has helped her judge people "from the inside." Jessica will represent STC at statewide competition in Atlanta later this year, and Kicklighter believes she'll win. Other GOAL finalists at Southeastern Tech were Jamie Glisson of Mount Vernon, Donna McGhee of Reidsville, and Cynthia Waring of Vidalia.
March 11-- The Lyons Citizen of the Year is Jane Benton, a Tattnall County native who moved to Lyons in 1960. She's best know for her volunteer activities helping young people through the Toombs County Family Intervention Center. The annual ceremonies were held Thursday night in Lyons.
March 11-- The community spelling bee Thursday night at Vidalia High School raised over $3,000 for use by classroom teachers. The spelling contest is sponsored by the Vidalia Educational Foundation which provides cash grants to teachers for classroom projects. Eleven spelling teams competed with first place going to "The Wood Bees" sponsored by Vidalia Naval Stores and Choo Choo Build-it Mart. The team of Keith Hamilton, Amy Hart and Ralph Cooper correctly spelled "pacifistically" to win the 5th annual competition.
March 9-- Star students and their teachers from area high schools were named in ceremonies Tuesday night hosted by the Vidalia Kiwanis Club.
The Vidalia Star student is Justin Feimster, an aspiring astronaut who plans to attend Georgia Tech or the Air Force Academy. His Star teacher is his sixth grade science teacher, Cheryl Williams of J.R. Trippe Middle School.
At Toombs County High School, Kaleb Craft is the Star student. He selected his high school history teacher, Bobby George, as his Star teacher. Kaleb has been selected for the honors program at the University of Georgia.
The Montgomery County High School Star student is Daniel O'Connor who is enrolling in the College of Agriculture at the University of Georgia. An active member of the FFA, he selected high school ag teacher Anne Smith as his Star teacher.
And at Robert Toombs Christian Academy, a student who was home-schooled until the 11th grade, Joseph Wolfe, was Star honors. Physics teacher Ann Wilkes is his Star teacher. Joseph plans on attending Georgia Tech to major in computer science and to minor in music.
March 8-- The Vidalia city council held a called meeting Monday and went into executive session to hear the latest in the case of Police Chief Darrell Collins. The chief was placed on administrative leave with pay last month pending an investigation into unspecified allegations. Retired GBI agent Martin Moses, who's conducting an inquiry, briefed the council on the case. City manager Bill Torrance says he expects more meetings before a decision is reached on the chief's future with the city.
March 8-- A case of alleged bank embezzlement is being investigated by Treutlen County Sheriff Tommy Corbin and the GBI. The sheriff says he was called by the Colony Bank of Treutlen County to conduct the investigation. Sheriff Corbin reports preliminary information reveals about $69,000 in missing funds, however, he says he and the bank are still checking bank records. He also confirms one bank employee is no longer employed at the bank, and that the identity is being withheld pending filing of criminal charges.
March 8-- The Toombs County commission is awarding over a million dollars in contracts to expand the county landfill. At its March meeting Tuesday, the commission okayed a $940,000 contract to McLendon Enterprises of Vidalia to add three new cells, and $74,000 for a consultant to monitor the project.
Commissioners also approved a $50 inspection fee for mobile homes which are installed in the county, and agreed to consider exceptions to the county's new mobile home ordinance at its next meeting. The new law prohibits mobile homes more than ten years old from being located in the county, however, chairman Charles Rustin says such mobile homes in the county as of March 1st are grandfathered and may remain. Whether they may be relocated in the county is unclear, according to Commissioner Mel Taylor.
March 8-- The Montgomery County commission is seeking federal and state grants to help with community development. Commissioners met Monday night to learn what grants are available to rural counties. Applications must be field by the end of April, according to county manager David Curry. He says no decisions have been made.
March 7-- A former Vidalia mayor died over the weekend. Eighty-two-year old Norwood "Dusty" Rhodes' family moved to Vidalia in 1927. After World War II, he returned home and joined his father in the electrical contracting business. In 1958, he was elected to city council and served for eight years. Eight years later, in 1974, he was elected mayor. One of the highlights of his 12 years as mayor was moving city hall to its current location on Jackson Street. During a radio interview six years ago, he said his three terms as mayor were one of the highlights of his life and "most gratifying." He died of cancer at his home in Vidalia Saturday night. His funeral is Tuesday morning at eleven at the Ronnie L. Stewart Funeral Home Chapel in Vidalia.
March 3-- Voters in Toombs County go to the polls Tuesday, March 15th to vote on a one percent special purpose local option sales tax for education. Officials say the levy would raise nearly $20 million over a five-year period with the money shared between the school systems in Vidalia and Toombs County.
Toombs County school superintendent Dr. Kendall Brantley says $10 million dollars would be used to build a new Lyons Upper Elementary School and to renovate Lyons Primary School. According to Dr. Brantley, the sales tax is the best way to finance a new school, and its allows the school system to use property tax collections for instruction.
In Vidalia, city school superintendent Dr. Tim Smith says the system estimates collections of $9.7 million and plans to use the money for a number of projects including updating lunchrooms; purchasing books, computers and technology; completing the athletic complex at Vidalia High School; and buying more school buses.
Dr. Smith says that if the state restores some of its cuts in the next five years, he would like to be able to recommend that the school board reduce property taxes because of the money raised by the school tax.
If you'd like to vote in the school tax referendum, the polls are open seven till seven on March 15th, or you can vote in advance at the Toombs County courthouse March 7th through March 11th from 8:30 till five p.m.
March 3-- The leader of the Republican-controlled Georgia Senate and newspaper publishers apparently are unable to agree on efforts Republicans are proposing to make economic development negotiations secret in the state. Publishers met with Senate President Pro Tem Eric Johnson about amendments being proposed to make HB 218 more palatable to open government believers. However, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution quoted one publisher as saying the amendments were like "lipstick on a pig."
Craig Lesser who heads up the state Department of Economic Development claims the legislation will help the state attract more companies to Georgia, however, there's no evidence open government has ever kept a business from moving to Georgia. Senator Johnson said compromise looks out of reach because there's no agreement there is a problem.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Governor Mark Taylor and other Democrats are proposing an amendment to the state constitution to require open records and meetings unless there's a two-thirds vote in the house and senate to close them. Republicans countered that Taylor's remarks are tied to his plan to run for governor in 2006.
March 2-- A new county ordinance in Toombs County is designed to keep the county from becoming a dumping ground for old, unsightly mobile homes. Under the new law, mobile homes over ten years old will not be allowed to be installed in the county. Deputy Sheriff David Powell will be in charge of inspecting mobile homes. Powell says the power companies will not provide service to mobile homes in the unincorporated parts of Toombs County until the homes have passed inspection.
March 2-- Superior Court Judge Kathy Palmer passed sentence in 19 Toombs County cases. In eight drug cases, Christopher Johnson of Lyons was sentenced to ten years, and three defendants got five-year jail terms including Ben Lambert of Baxley, Harold Wright of Lyons, and Richard Branch of Vidalia. Four others received probation including Alfonso Martinez of Lyons, Robert Hooker of Savannah, Eddie Thomas of Vidalia, and Debra Sanders of Lyons.
In other cases, James Lowery of Vidalia got five years probation for theft and was ordered to make restitution of $3,700 to Arby's. In two shoplifting cases, Belinda Harrell of Vidalia got a year for shoplifting at the Family Dollar Store, and Winston Young of Reidsville got five years probation. Wanda Griner of Collins and Anthony Torres of Vidalia both got three year sentences for burglary, while Ricardo Sipp of Vidalia got five years for theft. Forgery cases garnered a six-year term for Freddie McSwain of Lyons, three years for James Newsome of Cobbtown, and five years probation for Zulema Semersky of Lyons. In a child molestation case, Emannuel Wilbon of Lyons was sentenced to ten years, and Justin Badie of Vidalia got a ten-year probated sentence for cruelty to children.
March 1-- There's good news and bad news regarding road paving projects in Montgomery County. The good news is that the Georgia Department of Transportation has agreed to pay the lions share of a $432,000 project to pave the New Hope Church Road. The county's share will be $82,000 taken from sales tax collections.
The bad news is the project to pave the Dead River Road near Uvalda has some major problems with private water pipes on county right-of-way. County commission chairman Charles Truett told W.L. Coleman of Vidalia, who developed the area and runs a private water system for residents, he would have to remove the pipes from the right-of-way so construction can proceed. However, Coleman refused and said they should be relocated at county expense. The two parties appear at an impasse and residents on one side of the road are in danger of losing their water supply when construction proceeds. Some could also have problems installing private wells because of low elevation subject to river flooding.
In another road-related action at their March meeting, the Montgomery Commission agreed to put together a priority list of dirt roads in the county that need paving.
County tax commissioner Loretta Lane got approval from the commission to use a collection agency to collect overdue county property taxes. The county has delinquent taxes of nearly $700,000 going back to 1998. Collection fees will be paid by the delinquent taxpayers, not the county, according to Lane.
The commission accepted the resignation of county EMA director Rodney Helms effective March 15th and said an interim director will be appointed until Helms' successor can be hired. It also agreed to pursue additional federal and state grants to help pay for county facilities and infrastructure improvements.
And Montgomery County will save about $30,000 on health insurance this year because its carrier underwent a merger which freezes rates at 2004 levels for 12 months. The county currently pays almost $350 a month for employee health insurance.
