Aaron’s family and friends hope Aaron’s dream of selling ice cream to the community will come true, not only for him, but to bring awareness about autism to the community.

Aaron Fountain pursues his dream of selling ice cream in downtown Newnan By MAGGIE BOWERS maggie@newnan.com

fluttering heart rate, the uneasy wait and butterflies before facing down a challenge. It feels like another football game. Tonight, however, there is no stadium awaiting him outside the bus. There are no stands filled with scores of supporting family and friends and no cheerleaders to encourage him to do his best. All that awaits him outside the bus is a pair of yellow footprints and 12 challenging

A 25-year-old Newnan resident has big dreams, and he doesn’t plan to let anything get in his way — not even autism. In fact, Aaron Fountain knows that autism, a highly variable neurodevelopmental disorder commonly characterized by social or communicative impairments, is what makes him, well, him. “Autism makes me cool and awesome,” he said, a phrase his mom, Dawn Sierra, said is her son’s personal motto. Sierra said she and Aaron began discussing his goals for the future about a year ago. “We started talking about things Aaron would like to do now that he is an adult and out of high school,” Sierra said.

Local hair stylist recognized nationally By MADELINE SCHINDLER madeline@newnan.com Sharon Tranter is on the cutting edge. As a professional hair stylist, it isn’t enough to simply “do hair.” Instead, the trade comes with stiff competition – and a battle to be the best. Tranter, it seems, is at the top of her class. The local stylist’s skills have recently been recognized at the national level. While living and working in Newnan, Tranter has become a top 5 finalist at the 2017 North American Hairstyling Awards. Designing and styling hair has always been a passion for the working mother. Tranter explained that by age 11, she was already interested in the trade and became known among friends and family for her talents. She began working in a salon at 15, and within two years, the young Tranter had established her own set of clientele and was well-established behind the chair. “From 17, I’ve never worked for anybody,” said Tranter. “I’ve always created the environments

that I would like to work in.” Tranter came to Coweta County by way of England nearly 13 years ago, after her sons participated in an educational exchange program. She began work in the states at St. Hair, a local European-style salon. St. Hair combined a traditional salon with an educational atmosphere, a setup Tranter enjoyed. “My soul and passion is in helping other stylists reach their goals,” said Tranter. The stylist’s next move was to become a part of the North American branch of Schwartzkopf, a renowned haircare company. St. Hair salon

On July 9, Tranter will walk the NAHA red carpet, surrounded by other influential stylists from across the country. “I didn’t think that for one moment I would get here,” Tranter reflected. “I’m looking forward to absorbing it all and being around stylists whom I really admire.”

Mountain bike trails awarded grant By SARAH FAY CAMPBELL sarah@newnan.com A grant from REI will help fund the design of a network of mountain bike trails at Chattahoochee Bend State Park, and a project kickoff meeting will be held Aug. 31. The Atlanta chapter of the Southern Off Road Bicycling Association (SORBA) has been awarded a $30,000 grant from the outdoor retail giant to work on trail plans at Chattahoochee Bend and Southside Park near Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Each project will receive $15,000. The Friends of Chattahoochee Bend and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources funded a conceptual plan for the trail network, and now it’s time to begin the design work. “That’s when they go out and start flagging trails,” said Terri Palmeri, associate regional director of the southeast for the International Mountain Bike Association. SORBA is the southeastern affiliate of IMBA. The conceptual plan shows 44 miles of trails, in four different areas – or zones– of the park. Some trails will be designed forbeginners and families, while others will be for experienced riders. “I think it would be something great to have here at the park,” said Park Manager Erin Kenner. “There is a NTH FILE PHOTO lot of interest in something like that. We’re excited that Mountain bike trails and new cabins are coming to the Chattahoochee Bend State Park in Coweta County. it’s a possibility.” The Aug. 31 meeting will be an opportunity for interested members of the public to get information and get involved.

Word games T he secret to good writing is deleting every word that doesn’t do a job. Good writers learn this trick from great teachers. There has never been a better writing teacher than the late William Zinsser. Zi n sser worked for decades as a journalist and nonfiction writer but is best known as a writing teacher. His book, “On Writing Well,” is required reading for nonfiction writers—including columnists. Zinsser despised what he c a l le d “clut ter ”— unnecessary words or phrases that add length at the expense of clarity. Zinsser noted that clutter has always been with us, but started soaring to new heights in the 1970s. Before the Watergate hearings, everyone knew e x a c t ly w h e n “ n ow ” was. But “now” wasn’t good enough for Richard Nixon aide John Dean, who, during Senate testimony, used the term “at this point in time,” instead of “now.”

Dean was one of many D.C. insiders who mastered the art of using way too many words in an effort to make themselves sound smart or important. Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of State Alexander Haig took John Dean’s ”at this point in time” one step further, substituting, “at this juncture of maturization” for the humble “now.” Other Zinsser peeves included the use of “personal” to modify nouns like friend or physician. He asked if any of us had “impersonal” friends or physicians. Not me. You? Some cultural aff lictions—like Mood Rings—cure themselves. Clutter has gotten worse over the decades. I still get cranky when someone says “At the end of the day,” and they aren’t referring to sunset or midnight. I’m not the only one. My friend Bob Blackbu r n d i s l i ke s verba l kudzu so badly he took the time to send me a few of his favorite examples

Alex McRae

of modern day language that fit Zinsser’s definition of clutter. Bob is a part-time politician but still acts mostly normal, so I decided to share some of his gems. How many of you cringe when you hear… “Stay i n your la ne” instead of “Mind your own business.” “I take issue with that” instead of “I disagree” or “You’re a dope.” “Reach out to” instead of “Talk to.” “Let me share this with you” instead of “Let me tell you something” or “Listen up.” “We need some face time” instead of “Let’s talk.”

“We Have a disconnect” instead of “What the heck do you mean?” or “Huh?” “That hit home with me” instead of “I get it.” “ I h ave concer n s” instead of “That bugs me.” “Have some skin in the game” instead of “Have something to lose.” The other day I heard a TV weatherperson say, “Currently, we are experiencing precipitation.” W h at ’s w rong w it h “It’s raining”? A nd when a doctor says, “You may experience some discomfort,” you k now they rea lly mean, “Buckle up, Bubba, this is gonna hurt.” Business leaders are major offenders. Instead of saying “Slow down,” they might say “Let ’s not get too far out in front of our skis.” If the group isn't prepared to move on a piece of business, bosses don’t postpone discussion, they say “Let’s put it in the parking lot for now.” And what about the educator who once decided students would per for m bet ter i f we called temporary class-

U.S. MARINE CORPS PHOTO BY LANCE CPL. JOSEPH JACOB

During a combat movement course, U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. Sean G. McCool lifts barbed wire with his rifle to allow a fellow recruit to pass underneath. McCool’s actions were during the Crucible, a 54-hour event that is the final challenge in order to earn the title of U.S. Marine

MARINE CONT’D FROM PAGE 1 weeks of training at Parris Island, S.C. All at once, the gravity of recruit training dawned on the 19-yearold as a drill instructor climbs aboard the bus a nd ordered t he new recruits of Golf Company onto t he yellow footprints. While rushing to his place among the yellow footprint formation, McCool felt slightly reassured, knowing that this was not the first or second time a McCool came to Parris Island in hopes of earning the title of United States Marine. He would be the seventh in a long line of proud Marines dating

back to 1925 – his father and brother among them. For the Sharpsburg resident, simply coming to Parris Island to carry on family tradition would not be enough. That is why, from that initial week in receiving when the majority of recruits are blindsided by the sudden lifestyle change, McCool took charge and did ever y thing in his power to assist those around him that needed it. His initiative would not go unnoticed by his superiors, and by training day four, he was designated as guide of Platoon 2044. McCool’s upbringing is what prepared him to take on the role of leader during boot camp. “I have always been around Marines since I

was little, and the two things they taught me that got me ready for this were to respect authority and never accept my current limits,” he said. This attitude toward authority is in part what e a r ned h i m re co g n ition from his senior drill i n st r uc tor, St a f f Sg t . Devon A. Luevano. Early in the first phase of training, after a long day of drilling and impromptu physical training, after the platoon kept failing to follow directions, recruit McCool passed a test of character from Luevano. Wit h t he platoon ex hausted, fr ustrated a nd tempers r u n n i ng high, Luevano sat them dow n a nd asked why the platoon could not perform on the drilling field. Without missing a

beat, the recruits began bla m ing one a not her. The tall recruits blamed the shorter recruits for falling behind during t he m a rch i ng for m ations. The short recruits blamed the tall recruits for taking too large of steps and leaving them behind. Nearly everyone blamed the squad leaders for taking right turns when the orders were clearly for the left. McCool did not take part. He could not pass off t he re spon sibi l it y of failure in front of the senior drill instructor he respected. When he was personally asked for the cause of the problems, he only blamed himself. He was the platoon’s guide after all. A f ter wa rd Lueva no admitted that he’d never seen a rec r u it do it . McCool alone accepted responsibility for the platoon’s failures. “I’ve never had anyone say that before,” Luevano said. “That was the hone s t a n s we r I a lw ay s wanted to hear from a recruit.” McCool likened it to his days on the football field. “It was like on my high school football team,” said McCool, who played right guard and was the lead blocker at Northgate High School. “It’s not the team’s fault for losing games. It’s the leader’s fault.” Approximately 19,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 12 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for approximately 49 percent of male recruits and 100 percent of female recruits in the Marine Corps.

McCool believes what he gained from the experience was the leadership skills that will be necessary in his career in the Marine Corps. As he walked off the parade deck toward his cheering family in the stands, he said it felt as though he was walking off a football field, victorious and excited to be reunited with his family as the newest in a long line of Marines.
