Drivers on the Salem Road bridge had a scare Thursday evening when a young man climbed over the rail, as if to jump. Responding deputies were able to convince the man to climb back down, however.

Shortly after 6 p.m., a young white male was spotted walking on the outside of the fence lining the Salem Road bridge as it crosses over the CSX railroad tracks. According to witnesses, the man’s back was to the road and he was reportedly fac-ing the tracks.

Deputies arrived at the scene and began talking to the man. A lane of traffic was temporarily shut down, according to a RCSO spokesperson. A few drivers had pulled over by the side of the road to attempt to talk to the man as well.

The deputies were able to convince the 29-year-old man to come back to safety without incident.

Traffic lanes were reopened.

A smash-and-grab robber who has been hitting businesses in Rockdale and Newton counties since March 23 has been caught, thanks to the quick action of a Rockdale Sheriff ’s Office deputy.

Around 11 p.m. on Wednesday, RCSO Deputy Michael Stephens spotted a gray 2003 Ford Taurus at the Dunkin’ Donuts located at 1890 Highway 20 in Conyers.

When Deputy Stephens pulled in to check the business, the front glass door was shattered and the suspect was still inside.

Deputy Stephens was able to take the sus-pect into custody without resistance.

The suspect has been identified as Charles Richard Brank, 49, of Covington. Brank is fac-ing multiple charges of Burglary from three different agencies: the Conyers Police Depart-ment, Newton County Sheriff’s Office and Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office. He is cur-rently being held in the Rockdale County Jail.

Brank was previously convicted and

sentenced for Bur-glary in Rockdale County in 2008.

Last week, a Dunkin’ Donuts on Salem Road, a Subway restaurant on Ga. Hwy 138 in Rockdale and one on Browns Bridge in New-ton, and a heating and

air business in Newton County were struck. The suspect threw rocks through the glass doors or windows and then stole cash and other items from inside the businesses.

The suspect who struck the Dunkin Do-nuts on Salem Road earlier was described last week as a white male driving a gray or silver Ford Taurus.

Sheriff Eric J. Levett commended Dep-uty Stephens for his apprehension of the suspect, as well as the other deputies and officers from all three agencies - RCSO, Co-nyers Police Department, Newton County Sheriff ’s Office - that have been working to locate this suspect for the past week.

Rockdale legislators react to transportation billAfter months of debate and

compromise, the Georgia legis-lature approved a transportation bill Tuesday night that is set to generate at least $900 million annually for Georgia’s transpor-tation department.

That money is to be used to maintain and restore Georgia’s roads and bridges, but also help with future transportation proj-ects. The bill is awaiting Gov-ernor Nathan Deal’s signature, which he said he would sign.

“The benefits of these new projects will appear in full view,” Deal said in a statement Wednes-day. “Georgians will soon see the road crews and the orange cones and smell the hot asphalt as it’s poured. That’s the short term. In the long term, they’ll drive on better roads and bridges, giving us not only a better ride but also peace of mind.”

Before the assembly went into session, a study committee pre-

dicted Georgia would need at least $1.5 billion to maintain and expand its current infrastruc-ture, but that likely wasn’t going to happen, State Rep. Tom Kirby (R-Loganville) told The News prior to the session in January.

On Thursday, Kirby, who vot-ed for the bill when it originally left the Georgia House of Repre-sentatives and again on Tuesday after the bill went through the Georgia Senate, didn’t seem too thrilled with the final version of HB 170.

The biggest issue he had was the excise tax on regular gas be-ing set at 26 cents per gallon and 29 cents on diesel fuel.

“We tried to get it down to 24 cents but 26 was a compromise,” he said. “If you’re going to raise a billion dollars within the budget, you got to do something to raise revenue.”

The $5 fee added to hotel visits per night was also a “surprise” to Kirby, but understands the logic behind it.

“We have a 68 percent (hotel)

occupancy rate,” he said. “They use our bridges and roads too, so I think it’s fair.”

The bill also includes other fees to boost revenue including a new $200 fee on electric vehicles, the elimination of the state’s $5,000 tax credit for new purchases or leases of electric cars after July 1, a new fee on heavy trucks, $50 or $100 annually, dependent on weight and the elimination of a tax break on jet-fuel purchases at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson In-ternational Airport.

“There’s a lot in it,” said Kirby. “If I was writing a bill by myself, it would probably look different, but that’s not the way it works.”

Democratic State Sen. Ronald Ramsey and Republican State Sen. Rick Jeffares both voted to approve the bill Tuesday night.

Four of Rockdale’s representa-tives in the House voted for the bill, including Kirby, with only State Rep. Dale Rutledge (R-Mc-Donough), voting against it and State Rep. Dee Dawkins-Haigler (D-Lithonia), abstaining.

Rutledge has stood vehemently against both transportation pro-posals that have been voted on by the House. He acknowledges the need for transportation funding but feels “the final version of the bill is not in the best interest of the taxpayers” and more mon-ey could have been found in the state budget without some of the additional fees being added.

“No one doubts we have an infrastructure problem. This problem did not occur over-night,” he said in e-mail state-ment. “We have been diverting funds for many years that should have been going to transporta-tion. We haven’t had a funding problem. We have had an alloca-tion problem.”

His biggest gripe was with the excise tax on gas being “too high” and the fees put on the hotel and freight truck industry. Rutledge says he would have supported the bill if the excise tax was lowered to 20 cents on regular gas and 24 cents on diesel, if there was wasn’t a room tax on hotels and

motels and if there wasn’t an an-nual truck fee included.

Rutledge also questioned why there weren’t any taxes or fees placed on companies who use Georgia’s ports.

“During 2014, over 60 billion pounds of freight moved through our Georgia ports, both ocean and air,” he said. “Should the buyers and sellers of goods that enjoy the use of our ports share in the burden of maintaining our infrastructure? Many of which have received attractive tax in-centives to be here, or, should it continue to fall solely on the shoulders of trucking companies and taxpayers? I think it is worth evaluating.”

The transportation proposal also lets local governments con-tinue to collect local taxes on gasoline sales, but caps the max-imum price per gallon at $3 to calculate those fees. In addition, the bill sets up a complicated process for counties and regions

Conyers Police to release arrest data by raceThe Conyers Police Department will begin releasing

race-specific arrest data online in its latest post-Ferguson re-sponse, Chief Gene Wilson told the News at the April 1 City Council meeting.

Wilson’s main reason for appearing before the council was to present the police department’s official state recertifica-tion, which shows commitment to best practice and training. Those are the keys, Wilson has previously said, to preventing deadly debacles like last summer’s infamous police killing and protests in Ferguson, Mo.

But Wilson also hefted a copy of the U.S. Department of Justice’s report on the Ferguson Police Department, while tell-ing the council, “We’re going through it line by line to make sure we don’t have any issues they have.”

Wilson has previously said he expects new federal policing standards to emerge from Ferguson, and he wants Conyers PD to be ahead of them. One item: diversifying its ranks, which are currently more than 80 percent white in a majority-black city.

Meanwhile, Wilson told the News, he recently sent copies of the DOJ report to each member of his command staff for review and comment.

“If we’re in a position to improve, then we will,” Wilson said. “It kind of gives us a blueprint for if this [type of police killing], God forbid, happened here, we would be in a better position to interact with the community [and prove that its policies] haven’t adversely impacted any one demographic area or part of the city.”

One policy he will start within days is posting data on the race of people arrested or subjected to “officer-initiated con-tact” by CPD. It will show the number of arrests/stops, the race of the people involved, and how the stats compare with overall city demographics.

As a preview, Wilson told the News that arrest rates for white and black people are roughly the same, and both are arrested at rates a bit higher than their percentage of the pop-ulation. Latino people have disproportionately lower arrest rates, he said.

“It looks very good, and I’m very pleased with it,” Wilson said of those numbers. “I’m not sure I’ll ever convince [all] people there’s no profiling,” he said, but added that the data is worth doing for accountability.

“We’re trying to interact with the community as much as we can,” Wilson said.

The recertification from the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police is another significant step for CPD. Wilson took over the department in 2010 following its loss of certification and the related resignation of the former chief. At the meeting, City Councilman Vince Evans recalled that as “one of the low-est points I can remember here in the city.”

Recertification is a challenging process, so gaining it—the initial announcement came in February—was a big step. However, CPD is also seeking an even more comprehensive certification from the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, which will review the department over the summer.

In other council business:

-The council finally figured out a way to allow a well-liked trailer-selling business to make an expansion that was pro-hibited by zoning.

Rockland Cargo Equipment at 1532 Old McDonough Highway is a non-conforming use grandfathered into the Gateway Village rezoning carried out in 2012. Rockland Cargo wants to expand into a half-acre parking lot, but ex-panding a nonconforming use is virtually never allowed.

After months of debate, rejected proposals and fears of unintended consequences, the solution finally came. A change to the zoning code essentially allows utility trailer dealers in Gateway Village under a set of restrictions that in practice apply to nothing but Rockland’s location.

“I think we have something everyone can be comfortable with and won’t be a dangerous precedent,” said Council-man John Fountain.

The solution is still a “little tricky,” city Planning Direc-tor Marvin Flanigan said, because another part of the busi-ness—selling prefab sheds—is still not allowed to expand on the site. The city will have to be careful about monitoring that part, he said.

-The council recognized Yvonne Glumb, an administration and finance employee who manages property taxes, for 15 years of service.

-Mayor Randy Mills and Councilman Chris Bowen were absent from the meeting. Following the meeting, the coun-cil entered an executive session to discuss “land acquisi-tion,” said City Manager Tony Lucas.

Written by Bud Sosebee when he was nearing the end of his 12-year run as a Rockdale County Commissioner in 2000

More than 50 years have passed since I served in the 69th Infan-

try Division of the First Army during World War II, but the im-ages of combat remain vivid to me today. Most men and women who have served our country in a time of war will forever recall the horrific details of their own personal experiences in battle. The close calls, the lost friends, the struggle to succeed and sur-vive a mission under the most adverse conditions imaginable have left scars that will remain with me for a lifetime.

But serving in wartime left me with much more than these painful memories. It gave rise to a renewed appreciation for the freedoms that we enjoy as Americans. Not once since re-turning to our Nation’s soils have I taken for granted the privileges of our democracy. Not only do I cherish the free-dom to speak my mind, to wor-ship at my church and to partic-ipate in the election process, but I have also learned to appreciate the ‘little things’ that make the American lifestyle what it is to-day. I have grown to value the ability to partake in even the

most ordinary activities of daily life in our society, such as driv-ing a car, earning a paycheck, vacationing with my family and even turning on the television.

It is this appreciation for all that contributes to our quality of life that I want to impart upon the youth of today through the development of a memorial that honors human courage and sac-rifice without glorifying war.

The objective of the project is not only to provide a peaceful

place for healing and paying homage to our veterans, but also to provide an education-al tool through which we can teach our young people about the human costs that were in-volved in making this country great. I believe it is critical to our future for our youth to un-derstand that the lifestyle they enjoy was bought through the sacrifices of those who came before them. Unless they com-prehend this, they will never

fully appreciate and value the freedoms that they have.

I would wish upon no one my own wartime experiences. I do wish, however, that all future generations would learn to cher-ish, as I have, all that it means to be a citizen of the United States of America. When we learn to cherish our freedoms, we learn to treat them with respect—to nurture and protect them. And, I can’t think of a better way to pay homage to our veterans.

Easter 2015Easter is early this year and

that is appropriate because the renewal of the earth’s splen-dor has also arrived early.

It is only appropriate that we celebrate the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the spring because his death and resurrection brought forth a new beginning, and a lifting of a heavy cloud of God’s previous anger with man for his past disobedience.

Just as we should be careful to not destroy the beauty that God has allowed us to enjoy with our beautiful home here on earth, we should not let our belief in our creator and his son be destroyed because of the persecution of our Christian brothers and sisters throughout the world.

In our opinion, leaders and members of our Christian churches should rise up and together shout to stop the torching and the deaths in-flicted on good people who believe in the teachings of Je-sus Christ.

During this Easter season, we hope that you take a few moments and enjoy the beau-ty that surrounds us here in Newton or Rockdale County. Take the time to enjoy your family, take time to thank God for his many blessings.

All of us here at the paper wish you and your family a glorious and happy Easter, we are grateful for your support.

As you attend the church of your choice this weekend, say an extra prayer for your neighbor, your elected lead-ers, our military and for our country. Also, let us never forget why we celebrate the rebirth with such happiness this time of year. The passion, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Letter addressed to Com-mission Chairman Richard Oden and sent to The News:

You may notice that this is not typed, as prior memos of March 9 and 19 - reason being I became aware that your title was indicated as “Commissar” Oden. Althought close to cor-rect spelling, it is not correct. Therefore, I have terminated the service of my Administra-tive Assistant/Deputy Director of Communciations. I accept full responsibility for lack of attention to detail resulting in the term “Commissar” and will strive to prevent “Commissar” finding its way into any fu-

ture memors. Should you see “Commissar” in any future memos, please let me know so I can eliminate the title “Com-missar.”

Since the dollars distrib-uted to the NSP Coordinator and Residential Enhancements Consulting are either/or Rock-dale operating budget dollars or federal grant dollars their use must be a matter of public record. Attempts to obscure or hide this information obviously is not smart.

Since I have not received a fact based reply from you I had considered attending a BOC meeting to present the

questions listed in the March 9 memo. I decided that this would likely result in you at-tempting to “lecture” me as you “performed/lectured” Sheriff Levett and Marty Jones last year. I am unwilling to tolerate this rude and unprofessional behavior. You owe both gentle-men an apology for your child-ish tantrums.

Citizens of Rockdale Coun-ty deserve the facts concern-ing this matter- not diversion-ary rhetoric. I have heard you speak the word “transparency.” Ok - you can “talk the talk” but have not proved you can “walk the walk.”

I sincerely wish you contin-ued good health.

Submitted/The Rockdale News

Numbers released by the Georgia Depart-ment of Labor show Rockdale County’s un-employment rate has dipped slightly from January to February 2015.

The numbers released Thursday show a rate of 7 percent in February. The unemploy-ment rate was 7.1 percent in January 2015. Of the 42,302-person labor force, 2,961 were reported unemployed by GDOL.

By the numbers, 2,961 Rockdale residents were unemployed of the 42,302-member labor force. Those numbers are significant-ly better than a year ago, when 8.3 percent of Rockdale residents were unemployed in February 2014.

State labor officials say metro Atlanta’s un-employment rate has dropped to 6.1 percent as employers created more jobs and laid off fewer workers. Statewide, Georgia’s season-ally-adjusted unemployment rate for Febru-ary was 6.3 percent.

Medical manufacturer Baxter now BaxaltaThe Joint Development Authority (JDA),

which owns Stanton Springs, approved a resolution to essentially turn over the name Baxter to Baxalta Tuesday during a meeting.

About a year ago Baxter Internation-al announced to split its business into two companies, placing its $9.4 billion medical products division and its $5.8 BioScience division into separate businesses. The plant, currently being built on the Newton/Walton county border, was placed under the Bio-Science company due to its production of plasma-based treatments Gammagard and Albumin by 2018.

“The name Baxalta celebrates and sus-tains Baxter’s heritage as an innovator with a legacy of leadership by incorporating the Baxter name and coupling it with ‘alta,’ which derives from altus, Latin for ‘high’ or ‘profound.’ Both companies share a deep commitment to meeting the needs of cur-

rent and future patients, which will continue to inspire us going forward,” said Ludwig Hantson, president of Baxter BioScience, who will be chief executive officer of Baxal-ta, in a press release.

Baxter International purchased 162 acres in Stanton Springs Industrial Park off U.S. Highway 278, including 54 acres in Newton County and 108 acres in Walton County. Hantson told The News in April 2012 that only a third of the site will be built out for the initial $1 billion investment. The remaining 100-plus acres could be built out depending on company performance.

Five Ga. film studios band together to form advocacy group

Five film and television studios around Atlanta, including Covington-based Triple Horse Studios, have come together to form an advocacy group for Georgia’s studios and businesses that support film and television industries. The five studios forming the new Georgia Studio and Infrastructure Alliance (GSIA) are: Eagle Rock Studios Atlanta, EUE/Screen Gems Studios Atlanta, Mailing Avenue Stageworks, Tyler Perry Studios and Triple Horse Studios.

The 501 C-6 group was created to serve as a legislative and educational advocacy group for studio and production support businesses in the Georgia film and television industry. Education of the crew members and develop-ment of talent needed to keep clients return-ing to Georgia will be another key focus.

The GSIA was formed in part because stu-dios and entertainment-related businesses do not receive the tax credit from Georgia’s Entertainment Industry Investment Act, also called the Georgia film and television credit. The tax credit applies only to the production dollars spent creating television content or motion pictures. Tyler Perry Studios and Tri-ple Horse Studios are eligible for credits only for their in-house production and post-pro-duction work-but not for their studio invest-ment or hosting of third party productions.

Rockdale County lost a dedi-cated public servant and force of nature with the passing of Com-missioner, decorated World War II veteran and founding father of the Walk of Heroes Veterans Memorial Clarence M. “Bud” Sosebee on Sun-day, March 29, at the age of 90.

Bud Sosebee was born June 23, 1924 in the poverty of Atlanta’s Cabbagetown neighborhood, a community of Fulton Bag and Cot-ton Mill workers.

In 1943, he graduated from Tech High School and enlisted in the United States Army, serving in the 69th Infantry Division during World War II.

During his military service he fought in some of the most harrow-ing battles of the European theater, including the Battle for the Rema-gen Bridge, the capture of Leipzig, and the final phase of the Battle of the Bulge. He achieved the rank of staff sergeant and received two Bronze stars, and a Combat Infan-try Badge. In 2014 he was honored with the French Legion of Honor medal, one of the highest honors France bestows. (For more on Sose-bee’s military experiences, go to the “Veteran’s Story” feature on him at rockdalenews.com)

After serving in the military he returned home in 1946 and entered Georgia Tech, receiving a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a second degree in Industrial Management. He went on to earn a Master’s Degree in International Business from Georgia State Uni-versity. He married his sweetheart Marie “Leesa” Bice in 1949 and they had two daughters, Beverley and Jeannine.

Sosebee began a career in sales with Economy Auto Stores and Philco-Ford Corporation where he traveled across the globe. After the company was sold, he became an electrical engineer with the Air Force. However, he missed the fast-paced world of sales, so he joined the Brown Distributing Company and became its executive vice presi-dent, retiring in 1991.

He ran for Rockdale County Post 1 Commissioner in 1987 and won. He served 12 years as commission-er, from 1987-2000. During his four terms, he and the team of commis-

sioners accom-plished and oversaw many fundamental changes to the county includ-ing: the cre-ation of the Big Haynes Res-ervoir, which still serves as Rockdale’s drinking water source; purchasing the water and sewer system from the City of Conyers; closing the landfill and opening the recycling center on Sigman Road; consolidating the fire depart-ments of the City of Conyers and Rockdale County; the completion of the Conyers-Rockdale Nancy Guinn Memorial Library on Green Street; construction of Parker Road Bridge; expansion of the Rockdale County Courthouse; launching the SPLOST penny sales tax for trans-portation infrastructure, parks and roads, and more.

“I could not have asked for a better friend than Bud Sose-bee,” said Norman Wheeler, who served on the Board of Commis-

sioners with Sosebee.

B e f o r e he passed, Sosebee was a d v o c at i n g for another water source to be built on the south side of the

county. “He was always thinking about something that needed to be done for our county.”

But his biggest passion was spearheading the creation of the Walk of Heroes Veterans Memorial at Black Shoals Park/Randy Poynter Reservoir in north Rockdale. Even as a commissioner building the res-ervoir, Sosebee was envisioning and planning for the Walk of Heroes, which remains partially completed.

“That’ll be the biggest legacy, if we complete that park,” said Wheeler. “Rather than having a just a place to recognize the veterans, to try to make it one to teach the gen-erations” as an educational center, said Wheeler, to explain the why’s and how’s and effects of the con-

flicts of the 20th and 21st century.“He will have a seat on high to

watch it be completed,” said Tom-my Clack, president of the Walk of Heroes Veterans War Memorial. The memorial is just an example of Sosebee’s far-reaching vision and the honor he gave military families’ service and sacrifice.

“Rockdale as a county was bless-ed to have him bring his World War II life and death experiences to real-ize everything he had accomplished

for his community. I think his zeal for life had a profound impact on many of us and many project en-deavors he was involved in with making Rockdale a better place.”

At the Cherry Blossom Festival, attendees asked about Sosebee, who was not able to be at the WOH booth this year - a testament to how much Sosebee touched the lives of everyone he met, said Clack.

Bud Sosebee 1924 - 2015

... his zeal for life had a profound impact on many of us and many project endeavors he was involved in with making Rockdale a better place.”

— Tommy Clack

“

“He always had a kind word to say about anything. He was a true gentleman. He was a true World War II generation gentleman and he will be sorely missed.”

As news of his passing spread, condolences came from leaders and residents and anyone whose lives intersected with his.

Current Commission Chair-man Richard Oden said, “First, my deepest condolences go out to the Sosebee family. Bud was a giant of a man and he is truly, truly going to be missed. I did have an opportu-nity to go visit with him about 2 weeks ago, and in our discussion it was much the same as always about his passionate focus - he en-couraged me to continue to make water a high priority in Rockdale. Just as important, as the founder of Walk of Heroes, he talked about still wanting us to put a museum there. So I’m working hard now to find some funds at the federal level to make his dream a reality.

“His enthusiasm for the Walk of Heroes, veterans, public service and good government stewardship was contagious.

“It’s hard to imagine Rockdale without our great treasure among us. But moving forward in the days ahead, we should all think about what we can do to make him proud, share his legacy and give our talents and heart to this community.”

Julie Mills, who previously served as the county chief of staff and com-

munity relations director, said “I’ve known Bud for more than 25 years and have the greatest respect and admiration for him. He was a man of honor and integrity, with a hum-ble touch and a down-to-earth and compassionate approach to address-ing the many challenges that faced

Rockdale County during his time in office. His ear and heart were open to all, and no problem was ever too small for his thoughtful consider-ation. His personality and his sense of humor were so endearing.

“There was a consistency about Bud in that his convictions and faith showed through everything he said and everything he did. He was a man that you could trust — to keep his word and to always do what he thought was fair and right. He contributed so much toward en-hancing and maintaining the pub-lic’s respect for the government of Rockdale County.

“Like so many others, I consid-er it a blessing to have known and learned from Bud. He truly earned the high esteem in which is held by all who knew him.”

Former Conyers Mayor Charles

Walker said “Bud was a gentleman. A fine person of high moral char-acter and ethics. He was likeable, even when disagreeing. That is not an accident. It takes determi-nation to be like that. He lived a life of service to his country, his community and his family. I feel we all have a debt of gratitude to Bud. Our community is fortunate to have had Bud in our midst.”

Larry Kaiser wrote on the Scot Ward Funeral Services website, “Where do I begin? Bud was the most honorable and decent man I have ever met. He was always smil-ing and always willing to talk to you about his interests in jewelry mak-ing, recycling, water resources in Rockdale and more important than any other topic - the Veterans Me-morial Park. He had a passion for all these things but was ‘passionate’

for the park.“I will never forget all the great

memories that I was very fortunate to be associated with in my 25+ years that I knew Bud. I recall the event where my daughter had a col-lege paper to write on WWII and she met with Bud at the Subway on West Ave. She came back 4 hours later and told me she was ‘exhaust-ed’ from the interview!! She said Mr. Sosebee would not stop talking about the park and the war!”

Bud Sosebee was preceded in death by his wife and life-long mate, Marie “Leesa” Bice Sosebee and daughter, Jeannine S. Dooley, who passed away several months ago. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Beverly and George Rob-erts, Conyers; grandchildren, Tina and Thomas Williamson, Grayson, Julie and Jason Curry, Winterville; great-grandson, Destin Williamson; several nieces and nephews.

Funeral services were held Thursday, April 2, 2015, at 11 a.m. at Haven Fellowship Church, 2240 Smyrna Rd SW, Conyers, with Dr. Steve Powers officiat-ing; interment followed at Crest Lawn Memorial Park. Family re-ceived friends Wednesday, April 1, 2015, from 2 until 4 p.m. and 6 until 9 p.m. at the Scot Ward funeral home, 699 American Le-gion Road, Conyers, GA 30012.

The closing paragraph of Gen-eral Douglas MacArthur’s April 19, 1951, address to Congress: “I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barracks ballads of the day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier in the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.”

Fitting words for a general; equally fitting for an impoverished sergeant in World War II who after the war earned two degrees from Georgia Tech and a Master’s De-gree from Georgia State. A prod-uct of Cabbagetown, at the time one of the poorest sections of At-lanta, Bud Sosebee set high stan-dards for his future: an education, hard work, a loving spouse, and

unwavering patriotism. During a May 4, 2011, inter-

view, I asked Bud if he recalled his reaction to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. His reply, “Oh, I thought it was great!” Clarification was requested. “Well, I was selling newspapers at the time and with the headlines describing the attack, the newspapers sold like hotcakes. Shoot, I thought I was rich!”

Bud Sosebee’s life would indeed be rich. An education and hard work gained financial success, but Bud’s richness came from living life to its fullest, an authentic example of realizing the American dream. With a common-sense work ethic attributed to the Greatest Gener-ation, Bud used the opportunities presented him to earn a pilot’s li-cense, learning to scuba dive, be-coming an accomplished artist and musician, shaking the hands of two Presidents, enjoying astronauts as friends, and serving 12 years as a Rockdale County Commissioner.

By age 15, Bud was hauling 100-pound blocks of ice on his back for the ice boxes in his neigh-borhood. “That was hard work,” he said. “But it paid a lot better than selling newspapers.” “Paid a lot bet-ter” meant $3 a week. Hawking 100 pound blocks of ice took a toll on Bud’s feet; they were soon as flat as the hotcakes. At age 16, he was beg-ging the US Army to ignore his flat feet so he could fight for his coun-try. Apparently 16-year-old Sosebee had a knack for words even then: the Army accepted Bud, flat feet and all, and the youngster from Cabbagetown was off to war.

He witnessed Hitler’s V-1 rock-ets pounding England, crossed the English Channel with the Fighting 69th, survived strafing by German aircraft and participated in the famous battle of the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen. Bud was with the first unit of American soldiers at the Elbe River to link up with the Russians, including a tank brigade

of Russian women. Two Bronze Stars for bravery were among his many decorations, including the ‘Ordre National de la Legion d’hon-neur’, France’s highest honor.

We lost Bud Sosebee on Sun-day, March 29, 2015. The many tributes and the obituary will list his accomplishments and fami-ly members. But this narrative is personal; just a few brief thoughts on a great American.

Thousands of Georgia citizens had seen Bud Sosebee at various events but never knew his name. They described Bud as, “The WWII veteran who still wears his uni-form.” Yes, Sgt. Bud Sosebee was proud of his uniform and his ser-vice to his country in WWII. An unashamed and faithful patriot, Bud understood what freedom meant to this country and its citi-zens, under God, with justice, with laws, a flawed system at times yet capable of righting the wrongs with the passage of time.

As the Vietnam generation of warriors came home to a hostile citizenry and uncaring govern-ment, Bud’s simple remark of, “That wasn’t right,” developed into his founding The Walk of Heroes War Memorial in north Rockdale County. I recall his words, “I want-ed a war memorial to honor all veterans, especially the Vietnam veterans. We have a beautiful park now for people to visit, but it’s not finished, and I’m afraid I will not live to see its completion.”

The old soldier has faded away. His body gave out, not his mind nor his spirit. In the hospital and nursing home, his main topic of conversation was, as always, The Walk of Heroes, The Walk of He-roes, The Walk of Heroes, and now the “WWII veteran still wearing his uniform” has made the most beau-tiful walk of all.

God has called Bud to report for his Final Inspection; Sgt. Sosebee will pass with flying colors.

Highlighting Child Abuse Prevention Month in AprilApril is National Child Abuse

Prevention Month and to bring more attention to this critical issue, Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS), Rockdale County Depart-ment of Family and Children Ser-vices (DFCS), and Prevent Child Abuse Rockdale (PCAR) are part-nering this month to encourage all individuals and organizations to play a role in making Rockdale County a better place for children

and families.Rockdale County Public Schools’

school social workers organized the planting of “prevention pinwheels” at the RCPS main county office lo-cation as well as the RCPS support services location on West Avenue, as part of the campaign to highlight the critical importance of this issue and the tremendous efforts of schools, courts, nonprofits and social service agencies working together to ad-dress and prevent child abuse.

Rockdale County Public Schools requires mandatory child abuse

training for all staff each year. During the past year, several

Rockdale County agencies and gov-ernment offices came together to update the Rockdale County Child Abuse Protocol. Richard Read, Rockdale County District Attor-ney, chairs the committee, which also consists of representatives from Rockdale Juvenile Court, Rock-dale Magistrate Court, Rockdale County Department of Family and Children’s Services, city and county law enforcement, Rockdale County Public Schools, Prevent Child Abuse

Rockdale, Viewpoint Health, Rock-dale County Coroner’s Office, and Dr. Bruce Beeber, who at this time represents the medical community.

In 2013 Rockdale County re-ceived 703 child protective service calls and of that number there were 206 investigations, 233 diversions to community resources, and 264 screen-outs, according to Veronica Parrott, Director of the Rockdale County Department of Family and Children Services. Of these cases, 108 were substantiated for child abuse/neglect and 109 cases were

unsubstantiated. Data from 2014 is not yet available.

Upcoming events include: Rock-dale County Commissioners will sign a proclamation on April 7 declaring the month of April as Child Abuse Prevention Aware-ness Month. Prevent Child Abuse Rockdale offers Active Parenting classes each month - a list of dates can be found on the Prevent Child Abuse Rockdale Facebook page. PCAR also will hold a Trivia Night fundraiser on April 21 at AMICI in Conyers.

The Bristol Village Assisted Living Community at 1358 Manchester Drive NE, Conyers, celebrated their Grand Opening on March 26 with a ribbon cutting hosted by the Conyers-Rockdale Chamber of Commerce. The renovated Conyers facility has about 75 beds and will create 40 to 50 jobs. Owner Dr. Prem Shaw said it would be possibly the largest assisted living facility of its kind in the area specializing in dementia and Alzheimer’s. He runs a similar facility in St. Petersburg, Fla., called Bristol Court. Shah’s family is in the hotel development business, but he became interested in medicine instead and got into the assisted living field after seeing how much care dementia patients need. “This is my passion,” said Shah, adding he gave up practicing medicine to run assisted living facilities. He also has an MBA in health care management and previ-ously interned at DeKalb Medical.

Kevin Barham: Salem athlete of the week

Similarly in terms of wins and losses, but different in terms of play, the Rockdale/

Alcovy soccer boys/girls match-es ended like they did last time – with Rockdale’s boys winning and Alcovy’s girls winning.

The boysThe No. 3 and No. 4 seeds in

Region 2-AAAAAA kicked off Thursday evening, and although Alcovy played much better than they did when they faced Rock-dale’s boys the first time – when Rockdale won 10-1 – the Bull-dogs still got the victory at Alco-vy, 3-1. Alcovy started the game on a good foot, literally. The Tigers’ Taylor Cheek scored in the first minute and 13 seconds of the game on a nice long lead pass from about 25 yards out from Camani Smith.

“Going down one goal in the

first couple of minutes that’s al-ways a big one. Little [Taylor] Cheek there, he’s a good player. They’ve got a good squad,” Alf Holst, RCHS head soccer coach, said.

Alcovy didn’t see many scor-ing opportunities on the night, as Rockdale’s midfield con-trolled the ball well.

“We didn’t have our touch,” Chris Edgar, Tigers’ head coach, said. “We’d get the ball and then it would get five yards away from us, which is never good. They’re too technical of a team to allow that to happen.”

Rockdale would score its first goal – an assist from Hakeem Vilafana to Jacob Colver – with less than 28 minutes to play in the second half. Rockdale’s mid-field dominated the night, but credit to Alcovy for not laying down.

“I think talent-wise we have a lot of really talented players.

A lot of young players as well,” Holst said. “A couple big ad-ditions on our team too, with Hakeem Vilafana and Nathan Morgan. They’re our wingers. They’re real fast players. The Woodruff twins of course, run-ning the show. Shadai Dawkins as well. They’re all quality play-ers that can pass the ball.”

The teams traded corners over the next few minutes with nei-ther of them being able to con-vert until Rockdale was awarded a free kick with 12 minutes to go in the half. After a wall of Alco-vy players blocked the free kick attempt, Rockdale rebounded the ball and Bryan Mais netted one in from the left inside the the box.

The Bulldogs went into half-time with a 2-1 lead. The two teams played about five minutes of the second half before it was stalled due to a lightning delay. About an hour later the teams

returned to the pitch. Vilafana scored the Bulldogs’

final goal of the game at the 24:37 mark of the second half. Cheek hit a defender with a nice in-and-out move to get free and speed toward the goal but the keeper – freshman Maxwell Kaiser – blocked the shot at-tempt to keep the Tigers at bay. Vilafana finished with one goal and one assist.

“Just his speed is terrifying,” Holst said. “He’s so unorthodox. I don’t know if he even knows what he’s doing on the field sometimes. Sometimes it hap-pens for him and it happened for him tonight.”

The game pretty much solid-ifies Rockdale as the No. 3 seed and Alcovy as the No. 4 in the region.

“I’ve got a ton of respect for Alf. We’re friends and he’s got a good squad. We’re both going to the playoffs,” Edgar said.

Alcovy has come a long way since that 10-1 thrashing by Rockdale a few weeks ago and Edgar recognizes their effort.

“I did think coach [Edgar] over there did a good job in switching and containing us because last time we played we kind of put it to ‘em. This time

whatever he did it was working because it was frustrating our guys. Their keeper made some key saves,” Holst said.

“The last time we played them I felt like we quit. They scored ear-ly and we just didn’t respond at all,” Edgar said. “I think last week helped a lot. We have some confi-dence. We’ve made a few changes in personnel and where they’re at and then I challenged them. I said, “Guys, they put it on you pretty good last time. They’re a good team. Let’s see if you can step up.” And we need to start peaking, heading into the playoffs. If we get better and get better then that’s all you can ask for.”

The girlsWhile the Tigers improved

in defeat, the girls improved in dominant winning fashion, with 8-0 over the Lady Bulldogs slightly better than the Lady Ti-gers’ 5-0 win over Rockdale in mid-March.

There were a lot of missed shots in this game and probably about 97 percent of them were Alco-vy’s shots, which is a testament to their offense and defense. The LAdy Tigers also probably had possession of the ball for about 90 percent of the time with half of the other 10 percent including the Lady Bulldogs chasing down balls that were inevitably headed for out of bounds.

Still, watching Rockdale play, you’d never know they were down by such a huge deficit. The Lady Bulldogs played about as hard as you can expect from any team, good or bad.

Alcovy was spectacular on of-fense, with a superb passing per-formance from the team.

“I think Sydney Ziglar, she could have had 10 goals. But she’s so good at looking out for her teammates and passing. She had several assists. She had two goals. She really hustled. I’m re-ally proud of her tonight,” Anna Hebert, Alcovy head soccer coach, said.

“I still want us to do better on corners,” she added. “We took nine corners tonight, we only scored on one of them. It’s some-thing we’ll practice. Set pieces should be a little more go-to for us. A little more steady.”

Ziglar was impressive as expect-ed. If there was a word for a small, fast, supremely talented, passion-ate ball of energy 24/7 it’d be Syd-ney Ziglar. She’s already broken Alcovy’s record for most goals in a season with 20-plus goals and four games left in the season. De-spite Ziglar’s performance, it was

her team that helped her shine. Three Lady Tigers finished with two goals – Ziglar, Baylea Payne and Blakely Dimsdale (who He-bert said had her best game). Katie Barton and Destiny Hardy each scored once in the match.

Hebert wanted her team to come out and have a great perfor-

mance to showcase the skill they have as the No. 2 seed in Region 2-AAAAAA, and they did.

Hebert said, “Normally as soon as the game’s over, we look ahead to the next game and we talk about that. We still have bigger things to focus on in the future.”

said Yontz. “We decided, out of visiting a couple of the establish-ments, we felt like it was part of us to get on that level and do something more for our community.”

And thus, 52 Ministries was born. The ministry, supported by One

Heart Ministries, headed by the Rev. Sheldon Landy, is partly a discount convenience store that provides food , household goods and personal hy-giene products for the needy. But it’s also a way for volunteers to pray for those who come through the doors, ask if they need hug or help finding a job or other support.

Volunteer coordinator Sheila Ham-il, said “It really is about being an ex-tension of God’s love and what he expects of us. We’re not here to judge the people who come through the door. It’s about loving and supporting them. It’s not about volunteering. It’s about being an extension of love.”

“We want to shake a hand, hug a neck, and let people know there’s a face attached to this stuff and if there’s anything else we can pray for you about, that’s what we’re here for,” added Murphy. “We’re provid-ing hope to those who are hopeless, trying to be a friend to the friendless. There’s no other way to put it.”

The restaurant closed in December 2013. But where one door closes, an-other opens.

52 ministries fully launched in October 2014. Now, the ministry has about 10-25 volunteers who do a range of services, from stocking products to praying for clients. It con-tinues to grow, seeing clients from across metro Atlanta and even across the state.

And in that divine way of paying it forward, Yontz was recently recog-nized for his selfless commitment to serving the community.

On Jan. 31 he was chosen by the Conyers Sonny’s BBQ as the first recipient of its Random Acts of Bar-becue program. The program solicits nominations of a deserving person who has acted selflessly to improve the community and awards the win-ner a fully catered barbecue meal.

Melody Smith, a family friend whose relatives had worked at Glenn’s Bar-B-Que, had nominat-ed Yontz. “Glenn is a giving, caring person,” she said. “What a person-ality. He’s faced his own struggles. Come through that with ministry to the community, to the needy. I feel it’s very deserving. I want him to be recognized.”

The nomination she submitted read, “He’s been very generous in our community with his feed the hungry projects with his own restau-rant consisting of food and ministry on Thanksgiving and weekly projects called Parking Lot Praise, offering music ministry and food at no charge to any who came. Unfortunately with the economy being down, that doesn’t stop him. He now uses the building to host a food ministry three times a week called 52 Ministries along with

working a full time job.”Yontz said of being awarded the

full barbecue meal spread, “It’s great… This is just God’s timing, for sure… This comes at an awe-some time. We decided we’d do something awesome for our vol-unteers. Being able to feed these people, and love on them. You see God just replenishing and offering us an opportunity to feel his love in a generous way.”

During the meal and volunteer appreciation celebration, volun-teers mentioned the fun they had serving and the fact they were able to meet many new people.

52 Ministries, located at 1377 Old McDonough Hwy, Conyers, is open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings from 5:30 – 9 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. un-til the last individual leaves.

Navaria- Giselle Braynt

to impose additional local taxes for transportation needs with some limits on how much they can charge.

Out of the 7 percent sales tax currently levied on gas in Georgia, 4 percent goes to the state and 3 percent to local gov-ernments. From the 4 percent, 3 percent goes to the Georgia Department of Transportation, with the fourth percent - dubbed “the fourth penny” - going to the state’s general fund.

Post 1 County Commissioner Oz Nesbitt and Post 2 County Commissioner Doreen Wil-liams said they hadn’t had an op-portunity to fully read the bill in its entirety as of Friday morning.

Nesbitt said he recognizes that transportation is “certainly a priority” at the state and local level. However, he does feel like state lawmakers sometimes “im-poses mandates that should be handled at the state level.”

“It could put a burden on the local taxpayer,” Nesbitt said.

were fired at the Salem Terrace Apartments early Friday, and deputies are still investigating the case.

At approximately 2:35 a.m. the Newton County Sheriff ’s Department received a call re-garding a shots fired incident at a Salem Terrace apartment Fri-day. One male was dead inside of the apartment.

The deceased male has been identified as 30-year old New-ton County resident Quintari-ous Damareo Reed.

At approximately 2:30 a.m., 911 received a call from a resident of Salem Terrace Apartments. Newton County

Sheriff ’s Office (NCSO) units responded to the call and found three male occupants and three female occupants along with some underage children in the residence as Reed was on the floor with gunshot wounds.

Medics arrived on scene and the Newton County coroner and the NCSO criminal inves-tigation division were notified after.

Witnesses were interviewed with them being transported down to the NCSO. A search warrant was executed to the other residents. During that search warrant, there were two handguns recovered. One be-longed to one of the occupants of the home and the other pos-sibly belonged to Reed, accord-ing to NCSO deputy Felicia Jef-

ferson.According to Jefferson, some-

where around 2 a.m. a female occupant of the residence exit-ed and came upon Reed in the breezeway of the apartment. Reed reportedly forced the fe-male back inside. A struggle between Reed and the adult oc-cupants of the home ensued, re-sulting in Reed being shot and an adult male occupant of the home being grazed.

Reed has been transported to the GBI crime lab for an au-topsy. The cause and manner of death will be released by the Newton County Coroner’s Of-fice. After the investigation is complete the case will be for-warded to the Newton County District Attorney’s Office for further review.
