No. 10 Disasters strike across Newton

By Taylor Beck | tbeck@covnews.com

The calendar year of 2020 hasnt been kind to many people across the nation with much of the blame being pointed toward COVID-19. However, the novel coronavirus wasnt the only resemblance of disaster to strike in Newton County.

First responders rescue six from flood waters

Members of the Covington/Newton County Dive Team waded through icy and rising flood waters from the Yellow River on Feb. 7 to rescue six people trapped in their homes at the Riverside Estates Mobile Home and Travel Trailer Park on the Access Road in Covington.

Newton County Fire Battalion Chief Joe Cagle said firefighters were dispatched to the park on a report of a person trapped in a camper. While authorities were on the scene, more people were reportedly trapped.

Newton Fire Lt. Tim Martin and Fire Apparatus Operator Bret Madsen donned dry suits and using a boat rescued the initial victim before conducting a door to door search of the flooded area. No injuries were reported.

One of the rescued victims, Billy New, said of the firefighters, They did a great job.

According to Newton County Emergency Management Agency Director Jody Nolan, the team is made up of public safety personnel from Covington and Newton County and is funded by the EMA.

Two drown in Alcovy River

A Covington residents efforts to save his girlfriends son from drowning Aug. 11 ended tragically for both in the Alcovy River.

Members of a local and state water rescue team recovered the bodies of Covington residents Antonio Perry, 38, and Dejerein Grier, 14, from the river adjacent to Factory Shoals Park in south Newton County.

Family members reported the two missing after both went under the water around 7 p.m., said Sheriff Ezell Brown.

(Responding deputies) were told the teenage son had gone out swimming and the teenage son appeared to have gotten in a challenging mode with the waters, Brown said.

Perry then went out into the water to rescue the teen and he was succumbed by the waters, as well, Brown said.

Media reports said family members had gathered at the park for a day of fun and relaxation. The mother of Grier and girlfriend of Perry, Tonya Hardeman, also was there, Fox5 News reported.

Brown said the group had been to another area and they left that area and they chose to come to this last area where they were all together again.

They were just going to enjoy, have fun, he said.

The Newton-Covington Dive Team was called in to search after the incident occurred but called off their efforts because of darkness.

The team resumed its search Aug. 12 and found Perry but ended the search because of heavy thunderstorms, said spokeswoman Caitlin Jett of the Newton County Sheriffs Office.

The team then resumed the search of the river Aug. 13 and found Grier, Jett said

Brown said he wanted the families of the victims to knowthat they have our greatest sympathies for their loss especially during these times.

He noted concerns about COVID-19 had forced changes in how funerals are conducted.

Any time is a bad time, but these times are unprecedented times that you do not have the opportunity to really mourn and cannot have a traditional funeral, Brown said. Its tough, and I want the families to know that.

The Dive Team is a joint effort of the Newton County Sheriffs Office, Newton County Fire Services, Covington Fire Department, Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement, and Georgia Emergency Management Agency, Jett said.

Fire displaces Covington apartment residents

An Oct. 28 fire displaced about 20 residents after an air conditioning unit caught fire at an apartment complex near downtown Covington.

Covington Fire Department responded to an 11:34 p.m. fire call at Harrisburg Park apartments at 2140 Conyers St. and found the air conditioning unit caused sprinklers to turn on and cause extensive water damage in a third floor hallway, said Donnie Tudor, deputy chief of operations for the department.

Two Newton County Fire Department units assisted city firefighters in responding with two ladder trucks, two engines, a rescue squad unit and two battalion units. No injuries were reported.

Tudor said the American Red Cross assisted the displaced residents by finding overnight housing at an area motel.

Tornado hits Covington homeless shelter

Director Clara Lett stood outside what was left of the Rainbow Community Shelter building Oct. 12.

She said she had been in the shelters doorway five minutes before a tornado hit the building without warning two days earlier.

Id just drove off and got around that corner and they said a tornado had hit, she said.

The National Weather Service reported a tornado touched down in Covington and ran for about 1.4 miles Oct. 10.

Police reported it uprooted some trees but only caused one minor injury to a volunteer at the homeless shelter when the tornado hit the building off Turner Lake Road about 5:15 p.m., said Covington Police spokesman Capt. Ken Malcom.

The EF-1 tornado was tracked from Washington Street and Walker Bend Parkway to Woodhaven Drive near I-20 in western Covington, according to the National Weather Service.

An EF-1 has estimated wind speeds of 73 to 112 mph, according to the NWS.

The tornado downed trees along its path, including in the area of Brown Bridge Road and Turner Lake Road near the Rainbow shelter, a local official said. Downed trees also caused some power outages in western Newton County, Snapping Shoals EMC reported.

The storm was the remnants of Hurricane Delta that struck the coast of Louisiana and prompted several tornado warnings across Georgia.

The final recommendations resulting from an assessment of the athletic fields and facilities at Valley Regional High School (VRHS) and John Winthrop Middle School (JWMS) were shared with the Region 4 (R4) Board of Education at its Dec. 15 meeting. The recommendations ranged from safety upgrades for existing fields to plans for new, future facilities.

Landscape architects Jesse Harris and Michael Kluchman of the BSC Group highlighted specific recommendations for management, key projects, and how they might be ordered for a master plan.

The information will ultimately be compiled into a final report document for the district to use as a roadmap, going forward, said Kluchman.

The project, which started last summer, involved extensive on-site surveys of school fields and facilities and an assessment of the type and frequency of use associated with them. It also incorporated an analysis of the Falls Landing and Mislick properties, which are owned by the district.

To garner feedback for the fields and grounds study, the architects participated in two meetings with an ad-hoc committee, which was composed of board members, parents, staff and coaches, among others.

A decision matrix denoting which objectives a recommended project fulfilled was developed in consultation with the ad-hoc committee. These objectives included equity, accessibility, safety, maintenance, and management of assets.

Each recommended project was also analyzed by estimated project cost and priority level, with 1 denoting a short-term project to potentially be completed in one to four years, 2 denoting a mid-term project to potentially be completed in four to eight years and 3 as a long-term project, to potentially be completed in eight years or more.

Management Recommendations

A field user policy that expands on existing guidelines topped the list as a recommended action for both schools.

Really, that is to control use in inclement weather, inappropriate use on fields, things like that, as well as in the stadium fields case, use policies regarding athletic fields lighting, said Harris.

Another goal is for 100 percent turf coverage.

When you dont have 100 percent turf coverage, that is when you get into possible athlete injuries, [with] bare spots, compacted fields, [and] dirt and mud conditions, said Harris.

Other recommended actions included a proper maintenance schedule, with a rotation of play on multi-use fields and a limit to field scheduling and use.

Facility Recommendations at VRHS

At VRHS, 16 projects were recommended, spanning all facilities and at varying costs.

The following projects were given a priority level 1, to possibly be completed within one to four years. Safety was among the key objectives, or sometimes the only objective, for accomplishing these projects.

They included reconstruction of the natural grass field in the upper field at a cost of $800,000 to $900,000; repairing cracks in the tennis courts at a cost of $2,500 to $6,000; and reconstruction of the infield in the baseball field at a cost of $150,000 to $250,000, according to the BSC Group.

Two project options were presented by the BSC Group for improving the track in the stadium complex. They included a replacement of the running track surface at a cost of $400,000 to $500,000 or a reconstruction of the running track at a cost of $600,000 to $700,000.

With the track reaching its 25-year life span, Harris said the condition it is in is very poor. Its delaminating on the edges. Its been patched many times. The resiliency of the surfacing is wearing, especially in lanes 1 to 3.

The reconstruction of the running track would entail creating a new, six-lane track to support regional meets, according to the BSC Group.

Facility Recommendations at JWMS

A total of eight projects were recommended at JWMS, spanning all facilities and at varying costs.

Reconstruction of the natural grass fields in soccer fields 1 and 3 were marked as priority level 1, to possibly be completed within one to four years. Safety was among the key objectives in accomplishing these projects.

The reconstruction of these fields would entail re-grading, improving drainage, new irrigation systems, new sod, improving accessibility, and adding spectator seating, according to the BSC Group.

For soccer field 1, the cost was estimated by BSC Group at $430,000 to $475,000. For soccer field 3, the cost was estimated by BSC Group at $365,000 to $375,000.

Falls Landing and Mislick Properties

The BSC Group determined that the Falls Landing property cannot be developed into athletic facilities, due to its steep slope.

The best use for that property is residential development, said Harris.

The BSC group presented a total of 4 project options for the Mislick property, with construction of a cross country trail being delineated as a priority level 1 with safety as a key consideration. The estimated cost for this project was $10,000 to $20,000, as presented by the BSC Group.

Other project options included new sport fields.

The estimated cost to construct one new field, which was marked with a priority level 2, to possibly be completed in four to eight years, was $500,000 to $700,000.

The estimated cost to construct two new fields, which was marked with a priority level 3, to possibly be completed in eight or more years, was $1,000,000 to $1,500,000, as presented by the BSC Group.

The last project, which would only be implemented if new sport fields were installed, would be for installation of utilities for the Mislick Property. These would include an upgrade to electrical service, an irrigation well and an irrigation system. The cost estimate for this project was $20,000 to $50,000, as presented by the BSC Group.

The development of the Mislick property for athletics would improve conditions of all facilities by reducing the use or overuse of existing fields, said Kluchman.

After being asked by a board member about the suitability of the Mislick property to be subdivided into residential lots and sold, Kluchman said that in terms of the topography and zoning as low density residential, this is an option for certain areas within the 38-acre parcel of land.

By Sandy Kristiansson, Board Member for Fort Adams Trust

The Fort Adams Trust has been awarded a grant of $150,000 from The Champlin Foundation to assist the Trust in the restoration of Fort Adams Southeast Demi-Bastion. FollowingFort Adamsdecommissioning in the early 1950s,the Southeast Demi- bastion has been ravaged by weather and vandalism, resulting in several vault collapses and roof failures, and today remains one of the Forts most critical areas in need of restoration.

This grant from The Champlin Foundation is their second, totaling $300,000 for the project. In combination with an additional grant from the McBean Foundation in 2019, and the Rhode Island Capital funds from RI Department of Environmental Management, each in the amount of $300,000, the latest Champlin grant will allow the Trust to undertake the most significant restoration of Historic Fort Adams in nearly a decade. In all, the Fort Adams Trust has been able to raise enough funds to match the State funding three-to-one with private donations.

The Champlin Foundation funds will be targeted at helping cover the cost of the restoration and stabilization of the Southeast Demi-Bastions roof. This project will entail the removal of soil from the ramparts, originally designed to protect the fort from enemy artillery, and the terreplein, where the forts defenders would have historically been positioned to return fire with cannon and muskets.Critical to this restoration will be the installation of a waterproof liner where the earth is to be removed to protect the historic arches below the terreplein and rampart from water. Historic venting chimneys will be rebuilt, as well and the soil and grass sod reinstalled protecting the space below. The work is slated to start at the end of 2020 with Gnazzo Construction being the lead contractor and design work provided by Newport Collaborative Architects. Completion of this restoration project is anticipated to be accomplished by June of 2021.

The Southeast Demi-Bastion Project is a priority in the continuing restoration efforts by the Trust, stated Chris Zeeman, Vice President of the Fort Adams Trust. The Demi-Bastion Project is one of the many preservation needs of the fort and we are now fortunate to initiate the process with the assistance of the grants. Although the perception of the fort is one of indestructibility; the age and weather conditions that the structure is subject to require extensive refurbishment and preservation work that would not be feasible without the grants and the state, Zeeman further imparted.

The generosity of The Champlin Foundation and other philanthropic organizations are critical to Fort Adams long-term survival, offered Joe Dias, Executive Director of the Fort Adams Trust. The Trust continues to work with RI DEM in restoring the Fort and with the generous grant partnerships that will enable future generations to appreciate the rich heritage Fort Adams offers. A special thank you to our locally elected leaders Representative Marvin L. Abney, Representative Lauren H. Carson, Senator Dawn M. Euer and Senator Louis P. DiPalma for supporting the Fort and this project at the legislative level, Dias added.

The Southeast Demi-Bastion restoration is one of the many projects the Fort Adams Trust has planned in the near future. Most recently this fall, the Trustfinished repointing the embrasures on the East Wall by the main entrance to the Fort and will now start on the Demi-Bastion effort.

By Broomfield Wildlife Master, Sheri Hoffman

Fall is the time when the young animals have grown up and moved away from home. Now is a great time to check around your fence line or under porches and sheds to see if you need to seal up any openings or holes. Evicting or excluding unwanted animals now allows them to find shelter in a more appropriate spot for the upcoming winter and ensures that they wont use your yard for a spring nest or den.

Rabbits are abundant in town and excluding them from your front yard is very difficult because this area is typically open and not fenced. A good start is to locate and fill any holes under the concrete, porch, steps or driveway. Rabbits dig holes about two inches in diameter. If you have a hole larger than that, you may have another animal (keep reading).

Begin by placing a wadded up piece of paper in the hole and then monitor the hole. If the paper is pushed inside, the rabbit has gone in the hole; if the paper is pushed out then the animal has exited and now is the time to seal up the hole. You can accomplish this by adding dirt, concrete, rocks or chicken wire. Chicken wire or one-inch mesh, galvanized wire works best. Dig down about two inches and secure the wire into the ground with landscape stakes. Place the mesh over the hole so the rabbit cannot gain entry and cover this area with soil and sod if applicable.

Your back yard is a bit easier to secure from rabbits. If you have rabbits living under the deck, youll need to seal the deck up with chicken wire but leave a small hole for any rabbits to escape. Use the waded paper technique here too. Ensure the rabbits have left and then finish sealing up the deck, using the same method described above. You can also cover the chicken wire with a decorative lattice panel if you prefer not to see it. Next, walk the fence line around your backyard.

Look for any holes under the fence or broken fence slats. If you find a hole, the chicken wire solution is the best idea for securing your fence line and it is typically permanent (with yearly monitoring). Please be sure to secure your porch area before sealing your fence line so that any rabbits that are in the yard have a chance to escape and dont run under the porch.Voles are also common in town and look like mice but are usually darker in color.

They are active under the snow and make shallow dirt tunnels that look like run-ways, through your grass. These tunnels are exposed when the snow melts. Fall is the perfect time to prepare your yard and avoid vole damage in the spring.

Habitat management involves close mowing of your grass in the fall (final mow) and weed control in grassy borders that may exist next to your yard. Voles avoid exposed areas so close mowing followed by raking any run-ways will disrupt their activities. Voles may also take up residence near bird feeders or gardens which will be an easy food supply all year round so pick-up fallen bird feed and use feeders that are as secure as possible. To exclude voles from gnawing on your trees and shrubs, encircle the tree with a quarter-inch mesh hardware cloth or a 3 inch diameter plastic-mesh cylinder. These items should be buried 3 inch to 6 inch below the surface and extend 18 inches above the ground.

Raccoons may be another unwanted visitor especially if they show up inside your home (typically through the chimney or pet door). Fall is a great time to install a chimney cap or check the existing cap to ensure it is secure. If the chimney cap is not secure, the mother raccoon may make a nest and have babies in your chimney when spring arrives. While you are on the roof, check for holes along the edges and under soffits. Raccoons and squirrels will move in if they are afforded a chance.

To keep squirrels off your roof, trim tree limbs at least four feet from the edge of your roof. If you live in a heavily wooded area and this is impossible, then check your roof for chew marks and holes. Squirrels are capable of chewing a hole approximately three inches in diameter to gain access to your attic.

Preventing skunks from nesting in your yard next spring means sealing up potential nest sites this fall. Skunks have poor eyesight and typically do not climb, so look for signs of a skunk on the ground. They routinely take up residence under backyard sheds or decks, and may have more than one entry point. Look for dig marks and a hole roughly 6 inches in diameter. Skunks may also lay dormant for a month or more during the winter months so preventing them access to your yard in the fall means less issues in the spring. Walk the fence line and look for signs of diggingthey can gain access to your yard by crawling under the fence or gate, you probably wont smell them. If you see signs of activity, seal the holes using the chicken wire method described above. Since skunks are very good diggers, run the chicken wire two inches below the surface and then bend it at a 90-degree angle and run it at least 12 inches away from the fence, in an L shape. Secure the wire in the ground with landscape stakes and then cover it up. This way, when digging starts, the skunk will run into the wire and back off.

Animals can make a home where they find food, water, shelter and space. As always, please avoid feeding wild animals. Pet food, bird seed, uncovered garbage cans, uncovered compost piles, fallen fruit and barbecue grills can be an attractant to a hungry animal. Taking time in the Fall to prevent unwanted issues next Spring will be well worth your efforts. These animals live around us but they do not have to live with us and these tips can be implemented to avoid future conflicts.
