‘In God We Trust’ decals placed on sheriff’s department cars By CLAY NEELY clay@newnan.com
Recently, the Coweta County Sheriff ’s Department made headlines with its decision to place “In God We Trust” decals on the back of their cruisers. Sheriff Mike Yeager said that the stickers are simply a reflection of the beliefs of the majority of his staff and the community he serves. “Our deputies had seen other departments doing it and that’s what started the conversation,” Yeager said. “This seemed to be something they wanted to do and I had no problem with it.” Recently, Paulding County and Douglas County have adopted the logo for their patrol cars. According to Capt. Mark Fenninger, many deputies had placed the “In God We Trust” license plate sticker on their cruisers years ago and it never seemed to be an issue. Several months ago, Fenninger sa id t hat deputies bega n ta l king about placing the “In God We Trust” logo on patrol cars and the
best way to do it. In an effort to find a happy medium, issues regarding the size of the decal and terms of placement were discussed among the staff before Yeager gave the final approval. “Frankly, the biggest discussion was how we would pay for it,” Fenninger said. “Once that was taken care of, we had deputies rushing over to get it done,” Fenninger said. The decals for the cruisers were donated by High Speed Signs, the company that is contracted to do the graphics for the sheriff’s department. No taxpayer dollars were used, according to Fenninger, who added the graphic is not mandatory and only one deputy has declined to have it put on his car. Many took to social media to state their support for the stickers, but some also took issue with the motto – citing the separation of church and state. The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page blew up with opinions ranging from “love it” to “very disappointed.” The original post was ultimately taken down. Lt. Deputy Danny Wheat said he

was shocked about the controversy the decals produced. “I think it gives most of the public the idea that we have a belief – this premise of doing right,” Wheat said. “In law enforcement, we have serious issues regarding our image right now and that’s what we’re trying to fix.” Fenninger and other deputies attested to the relationship between law enforcement and the religious community.
White Oak teacher creates a Lego wall for her classroom

By CELIA SHORTT celia@newnan.com
A Coweta teacher is using her passion for Legos to bring more creativity to her students, by creating a Lego wall in her classroom. “I am always looking for innovative ways to engage students,” said Paula Corley, REACH teacher at White Oak Elementary School. “A few years ago, my pas-
sion for Legos was reignited with my own child and his interest. Then, I began teaching Lego robotics for the first time last year. At Coweta's STEM Conference last year, I went to a class about Makerspaces, which is a movement related to STEM that reinforces innovation, design, logic, and problem solving in students. I began to plan my own Makerspace, and in searching for ideas, I stumbled about this amazing wall that a librarian had added in a middle school.” The REACH program is for gifted students, and in her REACH classes, Corley teaches students from every grade level. All of them are able to utilize the six foot by six foot Lego wall, which consists of 49 Lego baseplates and can build directly on it. “It is not for decor but is a true working Lego space,” she said. “The activities are endless,” she added. “Math especially is connected because we measure using ‘studs,’ which are the little dots on Legos. With the younger grades, I am focusing on improving reasoning and visual-spatial skills, symmetry, addition/

phrase as a way of starting a conversation between law enforcement and the general public that might not happen otherwise. “Law enforcement has a stigma about us being the bad guys,” he said. “This gets us talking and it develops into a conversation that is always good in the end. People approach us looking for a reason to talk and this provides it.”

When a family in crisis comes to their attention in the middle of the night, Fenninger says that it’s the churches in the area who often save the day. “If we have a homeless or broken down family, who do we call? It’s always a church who comes to help at the drop of a hat,” Fenninger said. “So many churches in our area work between our department and the community.” However, Fenninger views the
options such as DOLE Jarred Fruit, which offers delicious, ready-to-eat fruit in five varieties that are fat-free, cholesterol-free and packed in 100 percent juice for maximum healthy snacking versatility. • Look for quick solutions that help trim prep time and skip the cutting, peeling and mess. • Avoid worrying about waste or spoilage with convenient, re-sealable lids that let you use what you need for a single serving and save the rest for later.

BOHANNON IS COMING
I am Hamp Bohannon, as most know me in my Hometown (Newnan, Ga.) My professional name is: (BOHANNON). I decided to interview myself, because I know the facts and what I accomplished during my 50 years in my music career. Let me start this interview with you by stating straight from the Bible-(Let Your Light so Shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven). I’m going to make this interview short. I was discovered by The Great Stevie Wonder in 1965- this year 2015 is my 50th year in my music career. Fifty years is a long time to have worked on the same job and still current. I want all to know, that during my 50 years as an Artist, Producer, Music Director, Song Writer, and Author. I have never taken drugs in my life, no alcohol, no cigarettes. None of you and nobody else have heard me curse, excuse me, I must say, at times, I have to defend myself, many have said/say, that it’s worse than cursing them out. (LOL) Now getting back to my subject. I am talking real not faking anything, all of us should be real-not faking or making the truth into lies, because it might help those who are confused to move forward with their lives in a Spiritually uplifting manner. Here is what I have to say: Over forty years in a row, I have helped several from my Hometown by sponsoring Motivational Events. Neighborhood Events/ Community Events, Sunday School Events. I have helped many save their homes. I have paid rent for many. I have bought clothes for many. I have bought over 15 cars for many, including people of need for transportation to get to work. Some might think, I’ve only done this for one race of people-not true, because (LOVE HAS NO COLOR). I have helped people buy their homes, I have co-signed bank loans-car loans, and never gotten paid back. Remember what I stated at the beginning of this interview from The Bible (Let Your Light so Shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. You see, at times, we should be reminded. There is much more. All of the aforementioned were paid out of my pocket one hundred per cent. I have never asked for donations. Now, I’m asking you- Newnan, Ga. to support my 50th yr. Home Coming One of A Kind Celebration by attending my concert, it would show me love and appreciation and prove, that we are one. By not supporting,it will not hurt me, because GOD-MY MASTER KNOWS, THAT I SHARE MY BLESSINGS. I am not Jesus and I don’t claim to be but they ran Jesus out of his hometown by Jesus showing his GOOD DEEDS. However, it would be an embarrassment to our city, Newnan, Ga., because only 40 tickets have been sold at a price, that you can afford. A portion of the money goes to the school system for a scholarship in my name. Before my concert begins several awards will be given out-one including some churches for- The Growth and Development Award-St Smyrna/Newnan Chapel, Power Chapel, Zion Hill, Summer Hill, Shady Grove/ St. Peters/White Oak Grove. The old saying –IF AIN’T NOBODY HERE BUT US CHICKENS- BOHANNON WANTS YOU TO KNOWBOHANNON IS GOING TO ROCK THE HOUSE WITH ALL 40 OF YOU LIKE YOU NEVER SEEN/HEARD. Tickets-$25.00 for adults/$15.00 for students can be purchased at The Bohannon Barber Shop-phone- 770-342-8366/ online at http://thecentreonline.net/calendar.html, and the Kiwanis Coweta County Fair. PLEASE read the following of which I have recently received. 1. The Resolution Award –from The State Capitol Senate Legislative, presented by Lieutenant Governor of Georgia Casey Cagle and Senator Donzella James. 2. A Special Dedication-The Man and Legend-The Coweta County Public Library Award 3. The Georgia Black Caucus Award-Largest Black Caucus in the Nation 4. The Richard Brooks Hall of Fame Award 5. The Stonewall Tell Elementary School Cornerstone Award 6. The Ray Parker Jr. Hollywood Star Walk of Fame Award of which Ray received and shared it with BOHANNON for discovering him at the age 17. 7. The Bohannon Family Award 8. Reverend Jerry D. Black of Beulah Baptist Church in Atlanta, Ga. will receive Pastor of the Year Award 2015.

With the older grades, I will use coordinates, arrays, multiplication and division, and so much more.” Corley built the wall this summer with help from Earl Spell, a student’s grandfather. She introduced her students to it at the beginning of the school year by giving them some exploration and free design time. Her goal is to add specific challenges for her students, like recreating a picture with Legos, teaching math concepts like symmetry, and the STEM design process. “It is not necessarily something that is used every minute of every day, but I am adding it into my math lessons in small groups,” she said. “As the year progresses, I also plan on connecting it to storywriting by having the students create scenes, using the Lego Move app to design animation

videos, as well as researching ways of infusing other subjects as well.” In the short time it’s been implemented, Corley and her students have enjoyed using the Lego wall in class. Corley said the best part is how excited the students get when they see something from their world brought into the classroom. “They are quite surprised that a teacher would love Legos as much as they do,” she said. “I know that it gets overwhelming as teachers with all of the responsibilities, and I plan for five grade levels, so that is certainly an adventure in time. However, when we can make the lessons engaging, the students will strive for any challenge.”

Lights for Linda By MAGGIE BOWERS maggie@newnan.com
Recently a local fundraising organization kicked off its sixth year with the SummerGrove Enrichment Luncheon prepared by Cancer Treatments of America chefs. The organization, Lights for Linda Luminarias, raises funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The L4LL organization was founded by Nancy Sanker, and is named for her sister, Linda McGrenaghan, who lost a 19-year battle with leukemia. Sanker and a group of volunteers have raised over $20,000 in the five years since establishing the organization that is known for its Christmas Eve luminarias. The paper lantern kits are sold in sets of eight for $20 and light up the walkways and sidewalks of homes in the SummerGrove neighborhood of Newnan.
For the organization’s sixth year, L4LL will offer a new item for those who wish to honor anyone who is health challenged and for those who care for them, and to raise funds for the LLS. The theme is “Leave a Love Note: The Magic of Written Words” and the L4LL will sell packs of five luminaria glow cards for $20. Glow cards can be purchased year-round. 100 percent of proceeds from cards and luminaria kits go directly to LLS. This year’s fundraising goal is $6,000. The L4LL will host a Spirit Night at the Dwarf House Chic-Fil-A on Oct. 19 from 5 - 8 p.m. Mention L4LL when placing an order at the drive-thru and at the counter and 15 percent of all proceeds from the evenings will go to the organization’s fundraising efforts. For more information about the L4LL organization and about upcoming events, email lightsforlinda@gmail.com.

Health hazards The American summer of 2015 started with a scream a s a n overdose of sh a rk attacks made coastal Carolina beaches resemble the set of the movie “Jaws.” Beachfront businesses suffered heavy losses as ocean lovers stayed home by the boatload. If you didn't know better, you’d think the Great Feeding Frenzy of 2015 was either a sure sign of the apocalypse or evidence that the “Sharknado” movies were actually documentaries. The shark attacks were bad for people and good for TV news ratings. But as far as public dangers go, statistics show that, so far in 2015, more people have died while taking smartphone selfies than from shark attacks. St ick t h at one i n you r pocket for trivia night. According to the Shark Attack Survivors website, eight people have died worldwide from shark attacks in 201 5. Meanwhile, website Mashable.com reports that the number of selfie-related deaths reached 12 in September when a Japanese visitor tumbled down the stairs to his death while taking his very last selfie at the Taj Mahal. The Mashable.com report said the leading cause of deaths from self ie-related incidents was falling. The n e x t le a d i n g c a u s e w a s train-related accidents while
attempting to take self-portrait photos. Selfies have gotten so dangerous that even the Russians — never known for being wa r m a nd f u zz y — have started a “Safe Selfie” program, complete with pictures of dangerous selfie-taking behavior. Actually, selfie safety training is not a bad idea. But if selfie-safety is going to be promoted, the word should forget about the Russians and hire some real experts. The world’s most prolific takers — and posters — of selfies are the Kardashian clan, which includes several trashy sisters and half-sisters, an even trashier mother, and former Olympic champion Bruce Jenner, who now wears dresses and calls himself Caitlyn. Members of the extended Kardashian family have taken millions of selfies in every pose, posit ion a nd place imaginable, and we have not lost a single one. They remain as indestructible as cockroaches — and perhaps less appealing. But as far as accidental deaths go, shark attacks and selfie deaths barely scratch the statistical surface. Global figures show that, year after year, the most dangerous activity on Earth is soccer. Here's the best part. Soccer players aren’t dying. It’s

the fans who are falling like wheat before a John Deere combine. Especially those on the east side of the Atlantic. Don’t take my word for it. Read the April 2015 article in the Wall Street Journal titled “Soccer violence escalates in Europe.” The Journal reported that “in 1985, a melee collapsed a wall at Belgium’s Heysel stadium, killing 39 people, and a 1989 disaster at Britain’s Hillsborough Stadium crushed 96 fans.” Things have gotten worse. According to the article, German officials “reported 7,863 soccer-related offenses last season, up from 4,576 in 200506. Italy saw 1,515 last year, up from 1,161.” Those “offenses” led to a large number of deaths. Soccer violence among the former Soviet republics in
eastern Europe has reached levels previously undreamed of. An Eastern European soccer match is no longer considered a success unless a fan or two leaves the stadium in a body bag. Take it from an expert’s mouth. “The possibility of violence is always present,” said Aleksandar Pavlovic, a member of the sports faculty at Belgrade’s Union-Nikola Tesla University. “Casualties are not rare.” Now there’s a slogan any sport can be proud of. Speaking of which, until sig n s say i ng “Ca sua lt ies are not rare” are posted on beaches and selfie sticks, I’ll stay safe by avoiding Eastern European soccer matches.

To d a y ’s p u b l i c h e a r ing will be Cowetans’ only chance to voice their opinion on Coweta County’s proposed 2016 budget. Fol low i ng t he Coweta Cou nt y Com m issioners’ recent decision to go with the “rollback” millage rate, county staff has revised the proposed budget, making $3.3 million in cuts. County sta ff had proposed a n increase in the property tax millage rate. The rollback rate is a decrease in the rate; however, the rollback rate brings in the same amount of revenue as last year’s rate, because of an increase in property values. The original proposed budget was $72 , 56 4, 576 , and the revised proposal is $69,258,236. However, the budget is a “working document,” and county staffers were still working Wednesday on possible changes. The public hearing is on
the agenda for tonight’s commissioner’s meeting. Once the public hearing is closed – likely during tonight’s meeting – no more public comment will be taken on the budget. Coweta n s who ca n’t at tend t he meet i ng ca n email or fax comments on the budget, but they must be received before the public hearing. For the comments to be read or considered, the commenter must request that they be “made a part of the official meeting.” Comments should be emailed to Ftabor@coweta.ga.us and Szerangue@coweta.ga.us. Other written comments go into the minutes f ile but usually are not read or reviewed by commissioners or staff. You can view a copy of the proposed budget at www. coweta.ga.us.
