Changing the reins LINE CREEK FEED AND TACK CHANGES OWNERS By CLAY NEELY clay@newnan.com

After 41 years in business, John and Diane Osborne are retiring from running Line Creek Feed & Tack. The small shop, located directly on the Coweta/Spalding County line, has been a fixture in the community for decades. “We just figured it was time,” Di a ne sa id . “ It ’s be en a re a l adventure, though.” John and Diane married in 1962 and lived in College Park. John was working at the ticket counter for Delta at the time. Diane’s lifelong passion for horses prompted them to f ind some property in the country where she would no longer need to board her horse. The couple found a beautiful five-acre parcel of land that abutted Line Creek on the county line. At the time, word was that a dam was set to be constructed on Sprewell Bluff, just west of Thomaston, and it would have backed up the water. “With that dam, we would have been sitting on the largest lake south of Atlanta, so we wanted that water frontage,” John said. “We saw a golden opportunity to open a marina – selling fish bait and renting boats. “However, Governor Ca r ter

killed the bill and so we decided we’d take care of people in the country who owned animals.” John and Diane figured that if they were keeping their horses on the property, they should open an establishment – “since we just couldn’t leave a horse in the woods by itself,” Diane recalled. “Having a place down here would help pay the cost of all the riding back and forth to College Park.” The couple eventually built the original Line Creek Tack & Feed in 1973 and opened for business the following year. In the beginning, they only carried feed and a few used saddles. The original store was a modest-sized building constructed with masonry block. One day, while John was worki ng , a sa le sm a n f rom P u r i n a dropped in and asked the couple if they wanted to carry feed, and that’s how things got started for the Osbornes. “Eventually, we found dealers like Big Horn, and were focused on Western tack – not English,” Diane said. “Twenty years ago, we started carrying English tack and now it’s more popular now than ever.” For the next 25 years, John and Diane commuted from College Park to the store.

Diane and John Osborne stand next to their horse Menawa, who will turn 35 years old next month. “Even though we live only a hundred yards from the store, it still feels like we’re going to miss saying goodbye to someone,” Diane said.

After working the early bird shift at the Delta ticket counter, John would leave the airport at 1:30 p.m., grab a bite at home before making the drive to the store where he and Diane would finish their day, working from 3

to 7 p.m. This schedule continued until 1990, when the couple f ina lly built their home behind the store where they still reside. O ver t he yea rs , t he store underwent several expansions

and the businesses allowed John and Diane to get to know most of their neighbors in an otherwise rural setting.

Mentor knows best

Cel ebrating Mothers FAMILY FEATURES Whether she’s your mom or a “like-a-mother” mentor, chances are you’ve got a lot to thank her for this Mother’s Day. It’s a time for celebrating your biggest supporters, number one fans and best friends. In life, we’re lucky to form relationships with women we can learn from and grow with. Beth Somers, Elizabet h Nelson a nd E m i ly Tatak from the Wilton Test K itchen consider t hemselves lucky. Beth Somers, Director of Creative Content Development, owes her start to her former boss Milette Raz. Raz is trained in the Wilton

Method of Cake Decorating TM and taught Somers how to decorate. But Somers thinks of Raz as so much more — calling her a mentor, her second mother and her friend. Years after working together, the duo teamed up for Cupcake Wars on the Food Network, returning home as champions of season six with winning recipes like Tropical Getaway Cupcakes. Elizabeth Nelson, Assistant Culinary Specialist, attributes her love of baking to her grandma Ann, learning

The process of adopting a child is often an arduous and, in some cases, an expensive one. But for families like the Prestons, being given the opportunity to love and cherish a child is worth every effort. The Prestons’ third-annual RACE for the Orphans scheduled for May 9 at the Coweta Cou nt y Fa i rg rou nds w i l l again present a grant to two families who are in the adoption process. Jason and Kelly Preston first began the 5K RACE (Raising Awareness, Compassion and Education) as a fundraiser for their family as they were working to bring two-and-a-half year old Jenna home from China. Even raising just a few thousand dollars helps a family – like the Prestons – alleviate the signif icant costs of adoption. Following an 18-month process, in November 2013, they were able to bring Jenna home. “The average cost of adop-

tion is $30,000, and we didn’t have that money, but felt from the bottom of our hearts God was leading us to this,” said Kelly Preston. “He led us to west China and to Jenna.” Preston said “99 percent” of the adopting families she knows have to do fundraisers of some sort – from concerts to cakewalks – in order to raise enough money to bring their little one home. Her and Jason’s passion, who both ran cross country and track while attending Samford University, happened to be running, so RACE for the Orphans was an easy decision. “Our first year [of RACE], we had 350-plus people – family, friends and complete strangers – who showed up. We were and have been blown away by the support from the community,” Preston said. After the successful first year that helped bring Jenna home to their three other children, the Prestons wanted to make the race an annual event because “we didn’t want finances to come between a

family and their adoption,” she said. Last year, the race allowed the Prestons to present two $4,500 grants, one to a family still waiting on their son from Ethiopia and the other to a family who brought home their daughter from China last July. Preston says people asked her after the first two RACE events why they weren’t benefitting families who were adopting domestically. “I tell them we do but no one applied. A lot of people just don’t want to go through the foster process, unfortunately,” Preston said. This year, however, one

of the families – Wade and Brooke Williams from Fayetteville – will bring home a daughter from Florida. They are set to finalize on May 12, but still have significant loans to pay. The other family receiving a grant is Mark and Tiffany Jordan. Mark Jordan is the pastor of Coke’s Chapel United Methodist Church, and they are in the process of adopting Mia from China. T houg h la st yea r ’s grants were $4,500 apiece, P re ston s ay s t h i s ye a r ’s amount is dependent on the

The WestCentral Georgia Business and Professional Women’s Club held a Red Carpet Event for the club’s youth at the Wadsworth Auditorium.

Women’s club celebrates Walk on the Red Carpet Event This year marked the second offering of The WestCentral Georgia Chapter of the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Club Signature Program. The theme for this year’s event at the Charles Wadsworth Auditorium was “Taking a Walk on the Red Carpet to End Bullying.” Students were identified and awarded trophies, plaques, and monetary rewards based on achievements before and during the celebration. Student nominations came from community based organizations. Students were identified based on performance and behavior in local schools, churches and youth activities in their communities. Nineteen students were selected to receive recognition for Outstanding Leadership/Mentorship, Academic & Athletic Excellence, going the Extra Mile, the Overcomer Award, and overall Shining Star Award. Students were treated to a limo ride around the city before they exited onto the red

carpet awaiting them. “This event is just a practice run, because there will surely be more honors and celebration for them as they progress through their lives,” said Lillie Smith of the club. T he WestCent ra l Georgia Chapter of the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Club is a non-profit organization that promotes and engages in educational, civic, and inter-cultural activities within our communities. The club is committed to offering an array of services designed to have a positive impact on the residents in our communities, especially the youth population. The WestCentral Georgia Club officials state that they appreciate every stakeholder who has invested into the lives of the club’s youth, and solicits continued support from the community. The club’s goal is to expand programs and activities in Coweta County and other west central Georgia communities.

pa rticipation of the runners. Last year’s race drew 376 people; Preston says she’s hoping for at least 400 this year. “We’ll give whatever we can raise. I’d love to give $5,000 or more if we can,” she said. RACE for the Orphans is a 5K, a one-mile run and a “tot trot.” Registration is $30 for the 5K, $20 for the one mile, $15 for the tot trot, and includes a free T-shirt. To register, people can visit www.racefortheor pha n s.weebly.com or on www.active.com or they can call Preston at 770-310-8222. At the May 9 run at the fairgrounds, John Waller, a Fayetteville contemporary Christian artist, will be performing. Waller and his wife have nine kids; three siblings were adopted from Ukraine. Waller, who wrote a song for the movie “Fireproof” and has written a song

about he and his wife’s adoption process, will kick off the race with a concert. P re s ton s ay s m a ny events across the countr y ra ise money a nd awareness for adoption. They’re just following their passion, she says. “ We ’ r e j u s t o n e o f many families doing this [race]. We just want to spread the word,” said P reston . “ We wa nt to raise awareness about adoption in this community and that there are orphans in need, from here to Florida to Ethiopia to China.” On t he day before M o t h e r ’s D a y, P r e s ton says R ACE for the Or pha ns is a n idea l match as ma ny mot hers, including those in Coweta County, endure t he long process to finally see their child. “This is a great community event,” Preston said. “What better way is there than to spend the day before Mother’s Day to help other fa milies bring kids home to their mothers?”

REINS Continued from page 1

During that time, their children and many teenagers in the community would come to work at the store after school and on weekends. “We watched as the teenagers that worked for us grew up and had their own kids,” Diane recalled. “It’s been quite a sight and we’re always happy when people come to visit.” In 1993, the Line Creek Bridge went out and wouldn’t be replaced for six months. However, even with such a hurdle, the patrons of t he tack shop weren’t dissuaded. “They eventually came a round t h rough Brooks on the 85 connector,” John recalled. “Traffic back then wasn’t like it is today.” T he couple h ad never g iven too much t houg ht about retiring, until recently. When asked how the decision to sell t he busi ness came about, John chuckled. “ We l l , e v e r y o n e w h o shopped here could see I was older, a nd they kept asking when I was going to sell,” he said. “We had several inquiries but the price

just wasn’t right. “One of the regular customers was in the store purchasing hay and asked me about selling it,” John continued. “They seemed pretty serious and gave me an offer that was much better than the ones I’d received before.” So, the Osbornes finally handed over the keys to the new owners this month and made t he tra nsition i nto retirement. While they’re leasing the name and the inventory, the store and land still belong to them. Looking through an old p h o to a l b u m , Jo h n a n d Diane smiled and recalled the people and events that helped shape their lives and led them to where they are today. From those who helped construct the original building to those who ran the cash register, and all points in between, the Osbornes are grateful for those who helped make their life in the country such a success. “We just want to thank every person who ever came by to visit or buy from us,” Diane said. “Even though we live only a hundred yards from the store, it still feels like we’re going to miss saying goodbye to someone.”

And that would be Mimi There is an old saying about not realizing what you have until it’s gone. For me, one wou ld be Mimi. Mother of the Little Black Dress, grandmother of the SONS of Thunder. Which would also make her my mother-in-law for t h o s e at h om e ke e pi n g score. And she adored me. And I her. So much so I don’t even know any mother-inlaw jokes and would always frown when someone tried one on me. Mimi was one of those unique individuals who literally had God’s grace dripping off her. And she was the female version of Will Rogers. She did not know a stranger. Back in the late 1990s, the LBD and I met her at the airport in Juneau, Alaska, where we were living at the time. Mimi got off the plane surrounded by people. Three different men were carrying her luggage (before the “you can only ca rr y onboa rd what ’s in your pockets” rules). She was exchanging addresses and phone numbers with a couple of women and holding the hand of some child. I don’t remember if we had some of those passengers over for dinner that night or not. What I do remember is what we had for dinner. You know how every now and then you get a hankering or “need a fix” of your favorite fast-food? Whether

it’s a quarter-pounder, a chili dog, a chicken sandw ic h , f r ie d c h ic ken , or whatever from one of those national chains, at some point you cave and hit your favorite. We are located in what is known as The South. In Alaska, the entire lower 48 was considered and called “Down South.” The advantage of being “Down South” is you can get in your car and pretty much satisfy any fast-food craving. Not so in Juneau. When we were t here, t he on ly fast-food joint was a single McDonald’s. This in a town of 35,000. W hen a K FC/ Pizza Hut combo opened up a couple years later, you wou ld have t houg ht t he town was going to implode. You have no idea how lucky you are. Imagine not being able to have a Chickfil-A for months. Anyway, back to dinner. Mimi had stopped off at a fast-food restaurant before she flew to Alaska. She got with the manager and the two of them packed our dinner. Inside that cooler, which c a me a l l t he way f rom Tulsa, Oklahoma, were all the makings for a couple dozen A rby ’s roast beef sandwiches. Yes, that’s one of my every now and then cravings. The meat was all packed, the buns ready, and yes, plenty of Arby’s Sauce and Horsey Sauce. There were even detailed instructions

JOHN WINTERS

on how to steam the buns a nd proper weig hts per sandwich. There might have been a couple of those sandwiches left over from that dinner for breakfast. Just one of a myriad of reasons why I loved her. It was not only her love for others, but the crazy way she never wanted to have anyone even seem to disrupt their plans for her. It was early on the morning she was set to fly back to Tulsa . T he Dress got up, came back in and said, “She’s gone.” And I’m thinking, “Who’s gone?” And the LBD is like, “She’s at the airport. I know her.” The Dress jumps in the car (the airport was only a couple miles away), goes through ticketing and convinces the stewardess to let her on the plane. Sure en ou g h , t h ere ’s M i m i exchanging numbers and addresses with everyone sitting around her. So pic t u re T he Dre ss crying in the aisle asking Mimi what the heck she was thinking and Mimi just responds wit h, “I didn’t want to wake you two up.” T hat was Mimi. She would be 80 this week. The ravages of Alzheimer’s took her too soon. But we will see her again. Cherish what you have. You never know when it or they - will be gone.

Taxing times People who demand more transparency from the federal government should be careful what they ask for. One government agency just did the transparency equivalent of a strip tease and no one liked what they saw. It happened on Tax Day, April 15. It’s no secret that the government knows more ways to waste money than Forrest Gump’s friend Bubba knew to cook shrimp. But it’s rare for a government agency to reveal such wastefulness, much less document the details. That’s why we have the Government Accountability Off ice, or GAO. The GAO is Congress’ nonpartisan accounting office. Since 2011, the GAO has released a listing of services routinely duplicated by the government. The GAO’s 2014 report reveals that among other fiscal atrocities, the U.S. government currently finances 42 different programs whose sole purpose is transporting non-emergency patients to a doctor’s office. The 42 programs are run by six different agencies. Medica re is t he Big Spender, r un ning up a n annual tab of $1.3 billion for bus and taxi fares. Medicare also buys private vehicles for “rural” residents so they can drive themselves to the Big City to get doctored up. The Department of Housing and Urban Development also pays bus and cab fares. But only for AIDS patients, not for victims of other diseases. Go figure. In the report, GAO offi-

cials wondered why government agencies didn’t pool all medical trips into a single shuttle service instead of hiring rides from anyone who has a vehicle and an itch to collect some government cash. T he G AO repor t a lso ra ised some questions about t he reg u lation of child safety seats. Gregory Korte, writing in USA Today, summed things up nicely, saying, “Child safety seats are regulated by one agency (the National Highway Sa fety Adm in istration) when they’re in a car, and another (the Consumer Product Safety Commission) if they’re attached to a stroller.” Only a bureaucrat could see the logic in that. And we can all breathe easier k nowing that toy guns are regulated by not one, not two, but three federal agencies. Some really fancy toy g uns a re equipped with laser sights. These models are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Toy g u ns w it hout laser sights are regulated by the Department of Commerce, which checks to make sure the guns have orange plugs on the barrels to distinguish them from “real” guns. Since many of the toy guns are imported they also fall under the watchful eye of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). CBP agents probably have plenty of time to check toy guns because, according to border state governors, they aren’t wasting tax dollars inspecting uninvited guests who cross

ALEX MCRAE

the border daily. T he G AO repor t sa id having different agencies responsible for regulating the same industry can also lead to “unclear roles resulting in regulatory gaps.” Regulatory gaps? If such gaps exist, Bigfoot has been sighted more often. This country doesn’t have regulatory gaps. We have a regulatory web that the hardestworking spider could never dream of building. And we are reminded of it each year at tax time. The GAO says implementation of some of its earlier suggestions has already resulted in savings of over $80 billion. Not a single civilian federal worker was sacrificed to achieve those savings. Mostly because labor laws forbid the firing of unionized civilian government workers for any crime short of murder. Maybe. The average pay of civili a n fe der a l employe e s , including benefits, is now double the average national income. Meanwhile, militar y personnel – among our lowest-paid government employees – are tossed out like yesterday’s trash whenever budgets get tight. Maybe bureaucrats wi ll fight our next war. Taxes are a necessary evil. It’s not too much to ask that our tax dollars work as hard the people who pay them.

Patel named Teacher of the Year By CELIA SHORTT celia@newnan.com

Ruth Hill Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Ami Patel was a n nounced as Coweta County School System’s 2014 Teacher of the Year at Thursday’s recognition ceremony. “It is very humbling to know I work in a school system with so many good teachers,” said Patel after receiving the award at the ceremonies held at the school system’s Centre for Per-

forming and Visual Arts. “I’m just one of many who do what I do.” Ruth Hill Principal Dr. Aaron Corley said Patel is “one of the most dedicated and caring teachers I have ever encountered, and I am proud to have her at Ruth Hill.” Corley added he would be proud to have Patel as his own child’s teacher, too. “Educators allow dreams to come true,” said Patel. “They (students) are our future, and we can help them achieve the

dreams they always wanted.” “To your students, you are always a hero,” she said. Patel said her father was her hero. She told the story of how he came to America by himself more than 25 years ago. When he arrived, he made his way in a strange and new place, and worked hard to bring his family to him and to make a life for his family. She remembered how he brought the family to America with few resources, but he still worked to provide them

“with opportunities for success.” In addition, she and her family members all prospered through the American educational system. Patel said she brings those experiences and commitments to her classroom and students, and views teachers similarly as heroes to their students. Patel was one of three finalists chosen from the Coweta school system’s 31 individual

Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Glaze Rolls:

• 1 teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla Extract • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (about 1/4 pound)

• 1 1/3 cups warm milk (105°F) • 2 packages (1/4-ounce each) active dry yeast • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened • 2 egg yolks • 1 teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla Extract • 3/4 teaspoon salt • 4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting

For rolls, stir together warm milk, yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in large bowl. Let stand 5–10 minutes or until foamy. Add butter, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, egg yolks, vanilla and salt. Mix with electric mixer using dough hook on medium speed until combined. Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix on medium speed until smooth, elastic dough forms, about 5 minutes. Spray large bowl with vegetable pan spray. Form dough into ball, place into bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand in warm place for 45 minutes or until doubled in size. For filling, stir together butter, sugar, flour and cinnamon in medium bowl until well-combined.

Filling: • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened • 1/3 cup granulated sugar • 2 tablespoons bread flour • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon Glaze: • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter • 1/2 cup lightly-packed light brown sugar • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Prepare 13-by-9-inch pan with vegetable pan spray. Punch dough down and roll out to 18-by-14-inch rectangle on f loured surface. Spread filling onto dough and roll up from long end, like a jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal, trim ends and cut into 12 equally-sized pieces. Place rolls into prepared pan; cover with plastic wrap and let rise 25–30 minutes or until doubled in size. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap from rolls and bake 25–29 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack while preparing glaze. For glaze, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cream. Cook over mediumhigh heat until mixture reaches a simmer; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Whisk in confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Pour glaze over warm rolls. Serve warm.

‘Taste and Tour’ to mix history with food By BRADLEY HARTSELL bradley@newnan.com

Downtown Newnan will offer a new event in May, hosted by the Coweta County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB). “Taste and Tour” will be offered May 9 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Beginning at the historic courthouse, tour groups will wa lk east to the railroad tracks, north to the Charles Wadsworth Auditorium, west to First Baptist Church, south t h rough Spri ng Street, a nd f i na l ly back a long Greenv i l le St reet to t he courthouse. Accordi ng to Lorra i ne La Rue of t he CV B , t hey are often asked about historic buildings and landm a rk s i n Ne w n a n . T he g roup decided to put together a tour in which residents and visitors can learn more about the historic town. “T he more we discussed a walking tour, we t houg ht , ‘Gosh , i f we’re w a l k i n g by t h e re s t a ura nts , we oug ht to h ave t hem give a taste,’” sa id LaRue, who will be celebrating her fifth year with the CVB this year. Bringing the “taste” to the “tour” will be Meat ‘N’ Greet, Rednexican, Redneck Gourmet, Fabiano’s P i z z a r io, L et T hem E at Toffee and Leaf and Bean. While the menu isn’t final, Me at ‘ N ’ G re e t w i l l b e ser ving pimento cheese; Rednex ica n li kely w i ll ser ve colla rds or bea ns; Fabiano’s will be serving pizza squares; Let Them Eat Toffee will be serving toffee bars; and both Leaf a nd B e a n a nd R e d n e c k Gourmet are still deciding what to serve.

Ch r i st y ’s Ca fe a nd Mother’s Kitchen will be closed during the tour but w i l l be prov id i n g t a ke home menus. “We want to expose people to the restaurants in the immediate area they m ig ht wa nt to t r y but haven’t had a chance to get to yet,” said LaRue. “The restaura nts a re a lways wanting a way to get their na me out t here, so t hey love this idea.” La Rue says the CV B is pla n n i ng a 60 -person turnout and four groups of 15 will be arranged to keep group sizes manageable. T h e to u r g u i d e s w i l l be Mark Puckett, Norma Haynes, Elizabeth Beers and Carolyn Turner. T he g u ide s w i l l wa l k tour participants around town for more than a mile while recounting the history of many of the buildings, including brief stories about the architecture and former uses. Some of the buildings on the route w i l l i nclude Wadswor t h Aud itor i u m , F i r s t B a p tist Church, the Carnegie Library, the Reese Opera Hou se , t he 19 0 4 Cou r thouse a nd A rna ll’s Grocer y Store, wh ich is t he oldest operati ng reta i l store in Newnan. P uc ket t , t he C V B ’s i n fo r m a t i o n s p e c i a l i s t , will begin the tour by providing the history and telli n g m a ny stor ie s a b out the courthouse, including t he i n fa mous Joh n Wa llace murder trial in 1948 that became the basis for both the book and the TV movie “Murder in Coweta County” starring Johnny Cash and Andy Griffith. “We’ve never done anything like this before, so we’re hoping for good suc-

cess . We’ve got ten ver y positive feedback from the people we’ve told about it. They think it’s a great idea,” LaRue said. The CV B was established in 1992, and LaRue s ay s t he re cent g row t h of New n a n h a s broug ht m a ny n e w f a c e s to t h e community. “ We never k now wh at o u r d a y i s g oi n g to b e like when we come in. It’s never the same day twice here,” said LaRue. The idea for “Taste and Tour” came, in part, from rea lizing just how much interest there is in Newnan’s history. La Rue says the CV B recently had six German tourists visit because they loved the 1979 f ilm “The Sheri ff a nd t he Satellite K id ,” wh ich wa s f i l med i n New na n a nd i n itia lly released in West Germany. “They watched that mov ie a l l t he t i me a nd t hey ca me here because they had to take pictures in front of the places from the movie, like the CocaCola bi llboa rd a nd Fi rst B apt i st Chu rch ,” L a Rue said. “It was really funny to learn what they wanted to see.” The event, which LaRue says the CVB is not only hoping to make an annual event but to do multiple t i m e s a ye a r, w i l l t a ke place rain or shine. T he cost of the “Taste and Tour” is $20 per person , wh ich i ncludes t he tour, samplings at the participating eateries a nd a gift bag.
