There has recently been a clarification, if you will, of our gun laws here in Georgia. As I understand, it will now be legal for our school teachers to carry weapons to class. Although al-

lowed, it has not been very well received by many of the school sys-tems and can opt out. The legislation also gave approval for guns in Churches (in certain circumstances). I’ll admit, it’s been almost a half century since I was in high school, so you can call me old- fashioned and behind the times. But the “weapon of choice” in those days was the wooden paddle, used judiciously, of course. Perhaps I was not the best behaved student in class, but I was never shot by my teacher. (Although many of them probably wanted to!)

There was recently an interesting article in The Times Herald by local writer, Norma Haynes, reflecting how she fondly remembered her high school teachers. In light of this recent gun legislation, her article caused me to fantasize what it would have been like if my teachers had been armed. I may have been a little recalcitrant, but even I didn’t require a “pistol whipping” or bullet in the arm to bring me into submission. At least most of the time. I can see it now; Mary Ella Camp with a six shooter strapped to her side, Miss. Louise Runble with a derringer in her garter, while Lillian McDonald would just leave her rifle lying, in full view, on her desk - ready for action. (For you younger generation, these were not young women but somewhat “mature” ladies - a little past retirement age) Scene one of this fantasy would show me passing a note across the aisle to another student. When Miss Mary Ella notices it, she pulls out her revolver and shoots the note right out of my hand with a bullet that continues on, passing through the top 16 inches of Eulonia McGillacutty’s red beehive hairdo and lodging in the back wall. She blows across the smoking barrel, then returns the weapon to its place on her side as if nothing had happened. She had gotten our attention!

I can also visualize other teachers in garb. Perhaps Allyn Bell, then new to teaching, would be wearing an eleven gallon hat, two pearl handled pistols and a pair of wide fur chaps. Coach Max “Hoss” Bass might carry a double barrel shotgun on his right arm, breached open for safety. He probably wouldn’t even need shells, as he could just walk up to a couple of the “offending” students and knock their heads to-gether. And I can just see our principal, Mr. O.P. Evens, dressed in a dignified old west suit with a string tie and “star” on his lapel. He was too nice a guy to shoot somebody.

So our teachers didn’t carry guns back then - they didn’t need them. A good paddling would do, or a note to your Mom or Dad. Or perhaps an hour after school. Sometimes we were late for class, chewed gum or dropped paper on the floor. The really bad ones didn’t bring a pencil or paper to class or “forgot” to bring their homework. We didn’t bring drugs to school or use them or sell them. There were no knives in our pockets or guns in the lockers. We had a respect for authority and our clothing was within the limits of decency. And I sure don’t remember any gunfire between the teachers and students. If things can change this much in two or three generations, what does our future hold? How far can this go?

It’s my opinion that you can’t legislate society and make them do better. If that were so, let’s just pass one more final law called “Don’t Do Anything Else Wrong”. It’s not politically correct these days to say we need to encourage decency, family values and respect for authority, as well as respecting ones self. We did it that way in earlier generations and it seemed to work. I am hopeful the pendulum will soon swing back to these values. But it will take the raising of children in a family environment where values and respect are demonstrated by the parents. It’s not too late.

JoePost Script: I actually did exercise my right to “civil disobedience” in the eleventh grade. I, and a couple of my cohorts, decided not to wear socks under our penny loafers one day. Mr. Evans, promptly ex-ercised his right, sending us home for the day with a zero in each class. But that was OK. I probably wouldn’t have made a significantly better grade anyway!

Here’s a great example of a little known, but not forgotten, commercial mower. It’s the Yazoo YR 60 Master Mower, manufactured almost 35 years ago. “The Beast”, as many call it, has 3 main wheels, a 3 blade - 5 foot wide cut, an 18 HP twin cylinder Kohler Magnum engine, and weighs in at well over a thousand pounds. (Earlier models had a 2 cyl-inder Wisconsin) This thing is built like a tank! It can go through the woods and cut down just about anything in it’s path, or give your lawn a very smooth and level cut. This example, used here in Coweta County, is a “last generation” of the design produced by Yazoo since 1945. It’s simply and heavily built to last a lifetime, as some of the really old ones are still in use after 40 or 50 years. The unique gear-box allows instant forward to reverse and “near zero turn” steering, long before the capability of hydrostatic transmissions. And the front-mount mower is great at getting under low overhangs, and you can see exactly where it’s mowing. But this “beast” is made for really large yards and is a handful to operate. One is constantly articulat-

ing the throttle, direction, clutch, and steering wheel by hand – the lonely foot is assigned only to the brake peddle. And these things can be a little dangerous since there are little or no safety features which are built into modern machines. (Remember, they were designed and manufac-

tured back when lawyers had more murder trials than product liability cases!) Turning the beast at full speed will send the back end (and you) spinning around not unlike a scary ride at the local fair! Even if you can stay on, you will certainly be shaken to the quick. The young, sick or elderly (over 90) should not operate these mowers –

all others should lie down for 30 minutes after mowing, So if you want to go on an adventure every time you mow a large area, consider finding one of these old Yazoos. They can be found on the internet for $600 to about $2,000. Parts are now getting hard to find and they require a little “tinkering”. For additional information, check out the site at www.musschoot.com/yazoo-tractors. By the way, I’m Shopper publisher and Yazoo owner, Joe Williams, and I approve this message.

If you are a motorcycle enthusiast or just like plain family fun, SMF Cycles of Newnan is the place to be on Saturday, Aug. 2. SMF Cycles is hosting a Customer Appreciation Day at its 110 Bullsboro Drive location. The event takes place from Noon to 4 p.m. and should be fun for the whole family. One of the main attractions is a Mo-torcycle Stunt Show by World-Record Holder Jesse Toler. “It’s a free style, street stunt show,” says SMF Cycles owner Chris Schreiber. “It’s wheelies, stoppies and acrobatics. He’ll perform three shows spread out dur-ing the day between 12 and 4.” Toler, a professional sports bike freestyle rider for over 10 years, set two Guinness World Records in 2012 with the fastest stoppie and longest stoppie on a motorcycle at the Z-Max Dragway during the Charlotte (N.C.) Diesel Super Show. A ‘stoppie’ is the term for balancing on only the front tire, achieved by a high rate of speed and applying the front brakes to lift the rear of the motorcycle. Toler achieved the fastest stoppie on a motorcycle at 150 mph. He also was able to achieve the longest stoppie on a motorcycle with 1320.3 feet – over 4 football fields in length – in a separate attempt. Another event highlight will be the sales. “We’ll have 15 percent off everything in the store except motorcycles,” Schreiber said. “We’ll also have a Red Tag Sale on bikes with discounts.” SMF Cycles carries a full line of parts and acces-sories including helmets and riding apparel. And if you are serious about motorcycle riding, it’s Demo Day for the entire Hyosung line. “There will be Hyosung Demos for customers with licenses to ride,” says Schreiber. Venders will be in front of the store selling vari-ous items, including food. And there will be plenty of prizes and giveaways during the course of the day. Better yet, everyone can browse through the show-room to see SMF Cycles huge selection of scooters, sports bikes, cruisers ATVs and UTVs. The event is free for the general public and is for all ages.

By Joey HowardThe Coweta Shopper When visitors open the front door to Coweta County, they may find Mark Puckett or Donna O’Brien or Lorraine LaRue greet-ing them. Not household names, you say. Well, it depends on who you ask. If you ask one of the 800-or-so visitors a month that venture into the Coweta County Welcome Centers in Downtown Newnan or Senoia, they likely have met at least one of the trio. You see, Mark, Donna and Lorraine are those visitors valuable source of information – or curators so-to-speak – when obtaining knowledge about Coweta and it’s goings on. Each center has brochures, pamphlets, magazines, newspa-pers, maps, souvenirs – all the things newcomers and locals gravitate to when needing to know the what, when and where of Coweta. “Not everyone that comes in is the typical definition of a visitor though,” says LaRue, the Coweta County Convention & Visi-tors Bureau Coordinator for the Newnan center since 2011. “We have people who have just moved to Coweta County and they are looking for information on the area. We have real estate agents come in and get a packet of in-formation for clients that are con-sidering moving to the county. And we have people who live here come in to see what the upcoming events are.” But when visitors come from outside the area, the list of their home countries is impressive. In 2014 so far, people from as far away as China, Brazil, Norway, Russia, Belgium, Canada, Eng-land, France, Germany, and Puer-to Rico have stopped by one of the two centers. “I’m absolutely amazed,” said

O’Brien, a volunteer at the Senoia Welcome Center when referenc-ing the distant locations from where the visitors travel from. “During spring break earlier this year, two school teachers came in from Ireland. It amazed me they came here to Woodbury on spring break.” And Puckett, an information specialist at the Newnan office, re-lates a similar story. “Two months ago, we had two people from Rus-sia and two people from Norway visit on the same day,” he said. The top two main draws to Coweta County are easy – the mega-TV show we know as The Walking Dead and country mu-sic superstar Alan Jackson. Af-ter that, it’s really about history. People coming to Coweta are in-terested in Civil War history, the historic homes and the downtown Newnan area. The new state park – Chattahoochee Bend – is another relatively new draw. But according to Puckett, proba-bly the most underrated attraction relates to the book / movie Murder in Coweta County. The book was written by Margaret Anne Barnes in 1976 and of course, Johnny Cash and Andy Griffith starred in

the 1983 TV movie. “I’ve been really surprised about how many people are familiar with Murder in Coweta County,” says Puckett. “We have people from all over the United States ask about it. They want to go upstairs (in the Courthouse) and see where the trial took place. They want to know where (Wilson Turner) was killed in Moreland. Some real die-hard fans want to know where the florist shop was, where the jail was.” The Visitors Center located in downtown Newnan is in the his-toric courthouse and is only about 4 years old. It was originally just east of I-85 at the Whitlock Recre-ation Park near White Oak. “The transition (to downtown) has been fantastic,” says LaRue. “I

was a doubter at first, but quickly had my mindset changed when we started having three times the number of visitors that we had out there.” In Senoia, Suzanne Helfman manages the Welcome Center lo-cated in the heart of downtown next to Katie Lou’s Restaurant. The Senoia Center utilizes all volun-teers in the day-to-day operation. It’s open Wednesday thru Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. LaRue and Puckett are employees of Coweta County at Newnan’s Center – un-der the guidance of Tray Baggarly, Coweta’s Director of Event Servic-es – and they also use a pair of vol-unteers (Carolyn Turner and Pat Tidwell) during business hours. Newnan’s Center is open 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday thru Friday and 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday. “I love learning everyone’s sto-ries – why they are in town, what their destination is,” LaRue says. “I also love that my job is different everyday.” Some personal research is in-volved as well, whether it’s watch-ing the shows filmed locally on TV, checking out the internet or the lo-cal newspapers, says O’Brien. “I had never heard of The Walk-ing Dead until I started working here,” said O’Brien, who started in 2012 after answering a newspaper ad. “ My husband (Scott) taped it for me so I could get familiar with it because people ask me ques-tions. People like to come in and share their thoughts about the show and want my thoughts.” She said it’s the same with Drop Dead Diva, another TV show filmed lo-cally. “Most people want to know when filming is and the locations,” O’Brien said. “A lot of times we don’t know. But we relay feedback from people calling in or coming by saying they saw the film crew filming (at this location).”

O’Brien says she wanted to meet people, especially the locals, as a reason for volunteering for four hours, one day a week. Puckett, who is retired from state government, started at the Visitors Center two years ago on his 58th birthday. “I enjoy get-ting to meet different people from different states and countries,” he said. “And I love history and anyone who comes in and wants to know about the courthouse, you know, I could talk about the courthouse all day.” LaRue shared this story on how movie-making in Coweta has had an influence internationally. “In the ‘70s, a movie was filmed here in Newnan titled The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid,” she said. “Six men from Germany were in town to find the locations where the movie was shot and have their picture made in front of those buildings. Apparently, this was their favorite movie when they were kids. We had a little com-munication problem, but I was able to direct them to the filming locations, one was the Coca-Cola mural on the corner of LaGrange and Spring Streets.” And when you go to either Vis-itors Center, please sign the book. “Several years ago, the state provided funds based on your numbers but that has stopped,” LaRue said. “If it ever starts up again, we want to have a history to present to the state.” LaRue also said the Coweta Visitors Center in Newnan is a Regional Center, which many people may not know. “We have information about the entire state of Georgia, so if you are planning a getaway, come see us,” she says. So when you do venture into one of the centers, you will now know who is just inside Coweta’s front door.

Information Specialist Mark Puckett talks with Kellie Zaleski about the Courthouse. Zaleski recently moved to Coweta County from Los Angeles.

The Senoia Welcome Center is open Wednesdays thru Saturdays from 11 am – 3 pm.

Scott Carter’s

New Tech Photo

Th ere was a time, and not too long ago, that photography was all about cameras and fi lm, darkrooms and waiting. Waiting a week for your “shots” to come back from the processor, ex-cited about what they would look like. But it’s all diff erent now.

Scott Carter bought New Tech Photo Lab in 1990 and has remained successful by providing knowledgeable, friendly and caring service to his customers. “What sepa-rates us from the chains”, says Scott, “is our personal touch in serving our cus-tomers and friends. And we have much more photo experience than the aver-age photo lab”. It’s all he has ever done and Scott knows his business.

New Tech Photo off ers custom work in odd size photos, enlargements to fi t your frame – from locket to life size, as well as panoramic, canvas on frame, DVD slide shows with music and conversion of old out-dated movie fi lm or video to DVD. One of the more popular services is the restoration of old, faded, ripped, and spot-ted photos to like new condition. Scott also provides professional photography for schools, churches, senior portraits, wed-dings and reunions. Th ey can even clean and repair your camera. New Tech is truly a full service photo store and lab with an emphasis on happy, satisfi ed customers. “I really enjoy seeing the joy on our customer’s faces when we exceed their expectations.”

New Tech Photo is located on the bypass between Subway and Cycle City, one block from the Chick-� l-A red light. (60 Millard Farmer Ind. Blvd,) 770-251-0393

Scott and Teresa Carter have four children and 5 grandchil-dren. � ey attend Bible Baptist Church in Hampton where he has taught Sunday School and Teresa helps with special needs children. Scott’s been involved in a jail ministry for about 16 years.

Masterworks Chorale Audition Opportunity

By Joan Doggrell

If you enjoy choral singing and want to sing even better, a golden op-portunity awaits you. Kathy Bizarth, artistic director for Coweta County’s distinguished Masterworks Chorale, is holding auditions for new singers through the month of July. For an ap-pointment at your convenience, call her at 770-846-8278 or reach her by email at [email protected].

If you join now, you’ll be prepared to take part in Masterworks’ scholar-ship concert on October 19. Proceeds from donations will go to the Master-works scholarship winner guest, to be chosen in early fall. Th e concert will be a celebration of the 200th anniver-sary of the lyrics of “Th e Star Spangled Banner” and songs of Americana.

Starting August 18, rehearsals will be held Monday evenings at 6:45 pm in the choir room of the First Meth-odist Church in downtown Newnan. Most performances take place at the Coweta County Centre for the Per-forming and Visual Arts.

Bizarth is more than a musical di-

rector; she is also an excellent singing instructor. She draws on 38 years of experience as a public school music teacher. Twenty fi ve of those years were at Newnan High School. “Th rough those times, I’ve been very lucky,” said Bizarth. “A lot of people have supported me, and I’ve had some great students.”

“Our mission is to provide an op-portunity for our community singers to further their education aft er they leave an organized school setting,” said Bi-zarth. “We provide a continuing outlet for people in music education and the arts as well as for community mem-bers who enjoy choral singing.”

“Th e name ‘Masterworks’ implies that we will do at least one concert of ‘stretch’ music per year, and that’s usu-ally a work of a classical composer. Th ese selections oft en take people out of their comfort zone, but there are cer-tain pieces that as musicians they need to know and to have performed at least once.”

Joan Doggrell teaches English at West Georgia Technical College and sings in Masterworks Chorale.

Here’s how to receive the benefits: • Georgia State Park and Historic Sites “Park-Pass”: With your Coweta Public Library System card, get the Georgia State Park and Historic Sites “Park-Pass,” which is good for free parking and admission at any of the 63 parks and historic sites statewide for up to seven days.

Piedmont Newnan Hospital invites members of the Coweta County com-munity to the next “Walk With a Doc” event on Saturday, July 26 at 8:30 a.m. at Carl Miller Park in Newnan. The event is part of a series of walks to help the community get active and have better access to physi-cians. One in four adults in Coweta County is physically inactive and nearly one in three is considered obese, ac-cording to a recent health needs assess-ment by Piedmont Healthcare. The July 26 walk at Carl Miller Park will be led by David Harvey, M.D. of Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Harvey completed medical school

training at Harvard Medical School and the Washington University School of Medicine. He is board certified in both Dermatology and Internal Medicine. He is an active staff member of Pied-mont Newnan Hospital with dermatol-ogy and surgical privileges. Dr. Harvey will take a few minutes at the start of the walk to talk about a health topic of his choice. During the walk, participants can freely ask Dr. Harvey questions. The walk will begin at the main pavilion of Carl Miller Park, which is located at 70 Sewell Road in Newnan. Participants will receive a pedometer to help them keep track of the number of steps taken as well as a complimentary Walk with a Doc T-shirt. The walk will last approximately 45 minutes on that Saturday morning. The event is free. You can register by calling 877-527-3712. To learn more, visit piedmont.org/walkwithadoc.

Newnan Theatre Company is offering an exciting youth production of “Avenue Q,”.

Avenue Q July 24 – July 27“Avenue Q” is a grown up parody of

“Sesame Street.” The youthful characters live on Avenue Q, a long way from where the rich and famous live on Avenue A, because so far, none of those possibilities have materialized for them.

The majority of the Avenue Q resi-dents are real puppets, hand held by live, visible puppeteers who speak and act for them on stage. Only three characters are human. One of them is the apartment house manager Gary Coleman. (Remem-ber him from “Diff ’rent Strokes?”)

“This somewhat controversial musical gives high school students the opportunity to play roles that they would not ordinarily be able to do,” added Patterson. “We are

The Avenue Q at NTCBy Joan Doggrell

working hard to handle sensitive issues in a manner appropriate for this age group. Our staging will be a little more tasteful than that of some of the touring groups with adult actors.”

Nevertheless, the content is adult. “Av-enue Q” is not appropriate for children – even though it has puppets.

All ticket prices are $10.00. Perfor-mance times are as follows: July 24-26, 8 p.m. • July 27, 3 p.m.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through the NTC website, www.newnantheatre.org, or via phone by calling 770.683.6282.

If you have questions regarding the content of any show, email Artistic Di-rector Tony Daniel at [email protected].

“CONTROL FREAK”Gardens all throughout Coweta County are over� owing with a

bounty of fruits, � owers, and vegetables. Summer’s heat and humid-ity have also descended on the South causing a host of insect and disease problems for gardeners.

Here are some “safer” suggestions for controlling insects, diseases and pests.

Bacillus popilliae (Milky spore) - larvae of the Japanese BeetleBacillus thuringiensis (BT - control of many insects, larvae (cut-

worms)Diatomaceous Earth - control of snails and slugs (not swimming

pool kind)Fungicidal soap - for some fungiGarlic mixtures - white� ies, mites, aphids, etc.Hot pepper wax - to repel insects and animal pestsHorticultural oil (summer oil) - for adult and larvae of insects

(aphids)Insecticidal soap - for insects (aphids)Neem - harmful to bees and spiders when wet, but when dry,

harmful to insects that chew or suck on leaves (beetles)Pyrethrin - controls insectsRow covers - use early to keep moths from laying eggs (leaf-eating

larvae)Sulfur - less toxic fungicide to help with rust, mildew, etc.Always follow directions carefully.Control ants with a mixture of borax and a simple syrup of sugar

and water set out in jar lids as a trap. Use summer oil to control mealy bugs. Mites can be checked with insecticidal soap, pyrethrin, or neem. Ridding soil of nematodes can be done by use of large, old-fashioned African marigolds or soil sterilization. Spread clear plastic over the area for an entire summer to bake the soil. A few weeks will kill weeds.

Use good (bene� cial) insects to control unwanted ones. Lady-bugs, Lacewings, Praying Mantis, Ground beetles, parasitic wasps and the parasitic nematode are good choices for natural control. Spiders, frogs, lizards and sinks eat insects. Bees are very important for pollination; so do protect them from spray on blooms.

The first day of school is around the corner, and parents can save money on back-to-school items during Georgia’s two-day sales tax holiday from Aug. 1-2. Certain items will be eligible for ex-emption from Georgia state and local sales and use tax starting at 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 1, 2014 and concluding at mid-night on Aug. 2, 2014, according to the Georgia Department of Revenue. During the sales tax holiday, the following items will be tax exempt:

uClothing and footwear with a sales price of $100 or less per item. The exemption excludes accessories, such as jewelry, handbags, umbrellas, eyewear, watches, watchbands, wallets, hair items (such as barrettes and hair bows), belt buckles sold separately and costume masks sold separately. Also not included are materials used to repair clothing and shoes and sewing equipment, supplies and materials.

uComputers, computer com-ponents and prewritten computer software purchased for noncommercial home or personal use with a sales price of $1,000 or less per item. The exemp-tion excludes regular batteries, cases for electronic devices, CDs/DVDs (music,

voice or prerecorded item), cellular tele-phones, computer bags, copy machines, digital cameras, game controllers, game systems and consoles, MP3 Players or accessories, projectors, surge protectors and televisions.

uSchool supplies, school art sup-plies, school computer supplies and school instructional materials pur-chased for noncommercial use with a sales price of $20 or less per item. The ex-emption excludes briefcases, envelopes and supplies used in a trade or business. For more information, visit the Geor-gia Department of Revenue’s website at www.dor.ga.gov or contact the Taxpayer Services Division at 1-877-423-6711 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday. Next year, the sales tax holiday will

return at 12:01 a.m. on July 31, 2015 and end at midnight on Aug. 1, 2015.

n Back-To-School Savings More ways to save on back-to-school items: • Watch the weekly sales. Many retailers, including grocery stores, dis-count retailers, office supply stores and department stores, will have different back-to-school items on sale each week. Check your local sales ads, either in print or online, and compare prices to find the best deals on notebook paper, folders, pencils, book bags, etc. It’s possible to find some great sav-ings this time of year. Folders could be as cheap as 5 cents and notebook paper

could be as low as 10 to 15 cents a pack. • If your family is low on cash, find back-to-school giveaways. Some churches and community organizations give away school supplies to school-age children in the weeks before school starts. • Reuse and recycle old items when possible. Take inventory of items from last year and reuse the ones that are in good condition. Wash, clean and repair items such as backpacks and lunch bags to get another year’s use, if possible. • Stick to the items on the school’s list of required supplies, rather than buying extra supplies that your child might not need. Also, keep the receipt in case you accidentally bought the wrong item and need to exchange it. • Buy in bulk. This is the cheapest time of year to buy school supplies, so stock up and buy enough to last your child all year.

The Coweta County School System outperformed the state of Georgia over-all on all grades and subjects tested by the Georgia Criterion Reference Com-petency Test (CRCT) in 2014. The CRCT measures student mas-tery of the state of Georgia’s basic curriculum in the subjects of read-ing, English/lan-guage arts, math, science and social studies in grades 3 through 8. In all, the 2014 CRCT covers 30 areas (five subjects tested in six grades) taken by students during the 2013-14 school year. 2014 CRCT results released by the Georgia Department of Education show that Coweta County students met or exceeded the standards at a higher rate than the state of Georgia as a whole in all 30 areas covered by the test. Coweta County School System passage rates were higher than state rates in all 30 ar-eas in 2013, as well. Coweta County students improved performance in several grades and sub-jects in 2014 compared with Coweta

County passage rates in 2013. Coweta County students met or exceeded the standards of the subject tests at a higher rate in over half of the 30 grade and sub-ject areas covered by the test in 2014. “I am proud of our teachers and stu-dents and the efforts they make every day,” said Steve Barker, Superintendent of Coweta County Schools. “They are achieving at a high level of success, and continuing to improve on that success from year to year.” 89.3 percent of Coweta County 1st graders met or exceeded CRCT stan-dards on Social Studies – 6 percentage points higher than the state of Georgia overall and a 5 percentage point im-provement over Coweta County stu-dents’ 2013 passage rate. 96.0 percent of Coweta County 5th grade students met or exceeded stan-dards on CRCT reading tests and on CRCT English and language arts tests. 90.3 percent of Coweta County 5th grad-ers met or exceeded math standards on the CRCT, and 86.4 percent of Coweta County 5th graders met or exceeded sci-ence standards on the exam. Coweta schools outperformed the state by nearly 7 percentage points in 8th grade math (with 88.2 percent meeting or exceeding standards compared to 81.5 percent in Georgia as a whole). Coweta

schools also outperformed state passage rates by 5 percentage points in 7th grade math (93.0 percent compared to 87.6 percent for the state), and 7 percentage points in 6th grade math (91.2 percent compared to 84.1 percent for the state). Coweta 8th grade students exceeded state passage rates by 7 percent in science (with 85.1 percent meeting or exceeding standards compared to 77.9 percent for the state). 98.1 percent of Coweta 8th grade students met or exceeded CRCT stan-dards for reading, 96.3 percent of Coweta 8th grade students met or ex-ceeded CRCT standards for English and language arts, and 86.7 percent of Coweta 8th grade students met or exceeded CRCT standards for Social Studies. Those 2014 passage rates for Coweta students were also higher in 2014 than in 2013. In all, Coweta’s CRCT 2014 test per-formance improved in 17 of 30 areas over its 2013 performance. Also, when ranked among the 182 Georgia school systems reported by the state, Coweta County schools ranked in the top third of the state in the majority of grades and subjects tested. “With changes coming this year in state assessments, we will continue to fo-cus our efforts on meeting the needs of

all of our students,” said Barker. The Criterion Reference Competency Test is given to Georgia students in the spring of each school year. The CRCT is designed to measure how well stu-dents acquire the skills and knowledge described in state curriculum. The assessments yield information on academic achievement at the student, class, school, system, and state levels. This information is used to diagnose individual student strengths and weak-nesses as related to instruction and to gauge the quality of education through-out Georgia.

ATLANTA – Piedmont is the only health system in Georgia to become an affiliate of MD Anderson Cancer Net-work®, a program of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. “Our affiliation with MD Anderson Cancer Network ensures our patients re-ceive cancer care based on best practices devel-oped by one of Ameri-ca’s leading cancer care providers,” said Kevin Brown, chief executive officer of Pied-mont Healthcare. “While excellent care has always been provided at Piedmont, this collaboration takes our quality as-surances to a new level.” For 10 of the past 12 years, including 2013, MD Anderson has ranked num-ber one in cancer care in the “Best Hos-pitals” survey published by U.S. News & World Report. “MD Anderson Cancer Network was created to advance our mission of elimi-nating cancer by sharing our knowledge and extending our multidisciplinary care,” said Thomas Burke, M.D., execu-tive vice president, MD Anderson Can-cer Network. “Piedmont is a respected organization with a long history of pro-viding high quality, patient-centered care. Our new affiliation builds on Pied-mont’s strengths by adding MD Ander-son’s cancer expertise, and we’re confi-dent it will raise the bar even higher for cancer care in Georgia.”

Piedmont is dedicated to providing excellent cancer care from detection, di-agnosis and research to treatment, edu-cation, and support. Piedmont works to ease the struggles often associated with the cancer journey by providing patient navigators, financial counselors and free supportive therapies in Atlanta, Fay-etteville, Newnan and Stockbridge. It is

Piedmont’s dedication to Georgia residents affected by cancer that led the organization to raise its degree of

collaboration in managing patient care with MD Anderson experts and become certified by MD Anderson Cancer Net-work. Currently, there are only 12 others in the nation. MD Anderson’s best practices and protocols will be implemented at Pied-mont Atlanta and Piedmont Fayette hos-pitals. In the future, Piedmont Henry and Piedmont Newnan hospitals are ex-pected to become MD Anderson Cancer Network certified members as well. “By teaming up, we’re combining the best of what we provide locally with the world-renown expertise of MD An-derson,” said oncologist Perry Ballard, M.D. “This collaboration provides those Piedmont physicians also certified by MD Anderson Cancer Network with ac-cess to evidence-based, disease-specific guidelines for cancer treatment, preven-tion, early detection and follow-up care developed by a national leader in cancer care.”

Piedmont enrolls in prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Network

PIEDMONT NEWNAN EXPECTED TO JOIN

Th e McRitchie-Hollis Museum has opened a new exhibit featuring local art-ist Martin Pate’s work. Th e exhibit will run through October.

Th e new exhibit, “Local Color,” features sixteen original paintings by Pate, includ-ing Civil War scenes, Coweta landscapes, and views of the Court Square.

“We are thrilled to showcase not only a talented artist, but also one that calls Newnan home,” said Keri Adams, McRitchie-Hollis interpreter.

Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

One of Pate’s favorite subjects is the historic 1904 courthouse, which is fea-tured in several of the paintings exhib-ited at the McRitchie-Hollis. “My per-sonal paintings of Newnan usually revolve around the architectural history…that’s what fi rst caught my interest and caused me to move here,” said Pate.

On what inspired him to paint local scenes, Pate said, “Newnan has been my home since 1984 and I’m prone to draw inspiration from places I call home…Geor-gia and South Carolina in particular.”

Pate remembers being interested in art before starting kindergarten. “My brother and I used to sit and watch our aunt paint. She lived with us temporar-ily when I was 5 or 6. Th ere was a magic quality to it,” Pate recalled. He followed his brother to the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, study-ing graphic design and illustration for three years.

Th e exhibit features a number of Civil War-themed paintings in recognition of the Sesquicentennial of the Battle of Brown’s Mill this summer. A special re-ception is being planned to unveil Pate’s newest painting, which depicts a scene from the battle. Th e painting will be used in promotional materials for this sum-mer’s special Sesquicentennial events.

Local Artist Martin Pate’s work featured at The McRitchie-Hollis Museum

“I’ve always loved history. Some of my earliest drawings as a child were sol-diers, including Civil War era,” Pate said. One of the largest works in the exhibit titled “Goin’ Home” was inspired by an idea Pate has for a graphic novel about a wounded Confederate soldier who is cut-off behind enemy lines, trying to come home.

“Th e Historical Society is excited to feature Martin’s work, especially those of historical and architectural scenes – it’s re-ally such a beautiful way to capture what makes Newnan and Coweta so special,” Adams said.

Admission to both the museum and the exhibit is $5 per adult, $2 per child 12 or younger and seniors, and free to all NCHS members.

Parking for the museum is located in the old Newnan Hospital lot on Car-michael Street with handicap accessible parking in the museum’s brick driveway on Clark Street. Th e museum is located at 74 Jackson Street. Th ose needing more info about the exhibit or museum, or would like to join the Newnan-Cowe-ta Historical Society, should call 770-251-0207 or email [email protected] .
