Changes for New School Year in Fayette County

noreply@blogger.com (Georgia Front Page.com) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:02:00 +0000

As students and parents prepare for the beginning of school, here are a few changes that will be in place on the first day.

The high school start time has been moved up to 8:25 a.m. to allow for a 15-minute instructional focus period for students to get remedial help, work on assignments or participate in additional activities. The end time will remain at 3:20 p.m. The start and end times for elementary and middle school are the same as last year: (elementary) 7:45 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and (middle) 8:25 a.m.-3:40 p.m.

Lunch prices have increased by a nickel at the elementary level and by a dime at the middle and high school levels. The increase is due to state budget cuts. The new prices are (elementary) $2.10 and (middle and high) $2.25.

Cleveland Elementary has a new principal at the helm following the retirement of Jean Miller who was the school’s first principal. The school’s assistant principal, Angie Southers, has been promoted to principal.

She looks forward to working with the students, parents, staff and community in her new position.

Volunteers Help Maintain Local Nature Preserves

noreply@blogger.com (Georgia Front Page.com) — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:55:00 +0000

Eagle Scout Henry Bentley constructed a bridge next to the fishing pond at Line Creek Nature Area.

Community volunteers are donating their summer time to help Southern Conservation Trust maintain its public nature preserves in Fayette County. Their generosity helps the Trust stretch its donation income and addresses the wear and tear these popular parks receive from local visitors.

The girls’ Lacrosse Team from Whitewater High School is re-staining the three wetland observation decks at Sams Lake Sanctuary outside Fayetteville – a project spanning three days in the hot sun.

Whitewater Lacrosse Team Stains Observation Deck at Sams Lake

At Line Creek Nature Area, Eagle Scouts Keelan Klarl and Henry Bentley have built foot bridges and re-routed trails so hikers can easily cross wet spots on the Creek and Pond Trails.

Whitewater High student Sarah Blakeslee finished staining the picnic tables near the fishing pond and three young ladies cut back the overhanging branches to widen the entrance drive to the parking lot. In the spring the Brownies of Troop 10314 used money they earned selling Girl Scout cookies to plant native trees at Line Creek.

Peachtree City resident Gary Humphries repaired the damage of vandals at the Flat Creek Nature Area who had painted graffiti on the boardwalk and pulled out the entrance sign. This quiet forested wetland can be entered beside the Peachtree City Amphitheater.

“As a small community land trust, we appreciate the many volunteers who help make our preserves great places to experience nature,” said Trust Executive Director Abby Jordan. ”We have volunteer projects lasting a few hours or over several days. An upcoming Volunteer Work Day in late fall will create landscape beds with native shrubs at the Line Creek entrance on Hwy 54, based on a design donated by Nearly Native Nursery in Fayetteville.”

Southern Conservation Trust is a Fayette County-based conservation nonprofit that owns, manages and protects 1400 acres of farms, forests and environmentally sensitive land in the Southern Crescent. The Trust hosts environmental programs and enhances its three public preserves with trails, overlooks and re-introduction of native species. As a regional land trust the Trust works with willing landowners to permanently protect open space that benefits the community and can offer tax benefits for the landowner.

If you or your service club would like to help maintain community greenspace, contact the Trust at www.sctlandtrust.org .

With the downturn in the economy, changes in staffing, and a whole lot of other factors beyond our control, we made the executive decision to merge the Fayette Front Page into the Georgia Front Page. We also focused mightily on our Arts Across Georgia site, which is going great.

However, we missed sharing all the good news with our Fayette County friends! We've decided to rev it back up and do what we do best --- share all the good news and the factual news you've said you love.

We've set up a Facebook page (just do a search on Fayette Front Page) and we have a twitter account (@fayettefp). We now have well over 200 blogs rolling around out there feeding to our sites, our numerous twitter and Facebook pages, fan pages, and wherever we can find an open spot to post .

We're going to be posting more on this blog AND on our Fayette Live blog. Both will feed to Facebook and Twitter giving you numerous ways to keep up with the news (and plenty of places to advertise your business).

Give us a day or so to get the Fayette Front Page 'un-hooked' from the Georgia Front Page, then we hope you'll make it your home page and start following all the interesting things happening in our fantastic county!

Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 7 p.m. today

The NWS has issued a Severe Thunderstorm WATCH for an area that includes Tyrone until 7:00 pm on July 13, 2010.

Advistory from PCPD regarding mailbox damage, trespassing at the FRED, new texting and seatbelt laws.

noreply@blogger.com (Georgia Front Page.com) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:38:00 +0000

The Peachtree City Police Department would like to advise our community of several significant issues that have been reported over the past few weeks. Additionally, one new law, and one revised law were enacted on July 1, 2010.

1) On July 1, 2010, the law banning texting while driving went into effect. This ban on cell phone use for those under 18, and overall ban on texting, applies not only to cars, trucks, and SUVs, but also to golf carts being operated on the roadway and also on the cart path system of Peachtree City.

The following information is the essence of the law:

• It is now illegal for anyone under age 18 who holds a learner's permit or Class D driver's license to talk or text on any wireless device while driving.

o Exceptions allowed to report a crime/accident or while the vehicle is parked; also does not apply to in-vehicle navigation systems.
o Penalties include a $150.00 fine and 1 Point on the driving record.
o Fine could be doubled if an accident is involved while texting or talking.

• It is also now illegal for anyone over age 18 or who holds a Class C driver's license to read, write, or send a text message while driving.

2) All drivers must now wear seatbelts when operating pick up trucks. This revision to the seat belt law removes the controversial exemption that adults had when operating pick up trucks only.

3) The department has received reports of subjects accessing the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater while it is closed, and skateboarding within the facility. As the Amphitheater is closed during the times this is occurring, it is not only a violation of the rule that skate boarding is not allowed in the facility, but also a violation of Georgia Law encompassing trespassing. If anyone has information that would assist the Police Department in this or other incidents, please contact the Peachtree City Police Department at 770-487-8866, or the Crime and Narcotics Information Hotline at (770) 487-6010. You may remain anonymous.

4) Over the past few weeks, there have numerous reports from citizens that their mailboxes have been damaged, destroyed, or stolen. While these incidents appear to be predominantly occurring in subdivisions north of Highway 54, there have also been reports from citizens who reside on the southern area of Peachtree City.

At least one witness has stated that the offenders appeared to be teenagers and were traveling on a golf cart. Additionally, the witness believed they were using either a bat or a broom handle. The majority of the incidents have occurred during the evening and early morning hours. If anyone has information that would assist the Police Department in this or other incidents, please contact the Peachtree City Police Department at 770-487-8866, or the Crime and Narcotics Information Hotline at (770) 487-6010.

noreply@blogger.com (Georgia Front Page.com) — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:56:00 +0000

The Town of Tyrone launched a new web-based software program today that will automate, track, and store code enforcement complaints and other service requests from the public.

Citizens can go to www.tyrone.org/codeenforcement or click on "Submit a Request for Service" under the "I want to..." menu at the top of the website to submit a complaint or inquiry. The citizen will receive automated responses via email each time their complaint is updated through such time as the issue is resolved, keeping them in the loop of what is going on and allowing them to see the code enforcement process in real time.

Once a complaint is submitted, it goes to staff at Town Hall who then direct it to the appropriate department for action. Assigned employees then update the complaint in the system, which creates automated responses to the complainant and logs the work in a database for archiving.

Citizens without an email address, or those who do not wish to provide one, may contact Town Hall at 770-487-4038 to file their complaint. These complaints will be entered into the system by staff for internal tracking.

Illegal Tire Dumping Leads to Felony Arrest

noreply@blogger.com (Georgia Front Page.com) — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:17:00 +0000

Investigators with the Tyrone Police Department made an arrest Wednesday in connection to an unlawful dumping case involving scrap tires. Charles Ejemba of John’s Creek was arrested at his home on a warrant and is currently being held in the Fayette County Jail awaiting bond. The Tyrone Police Department received a complaint on April 19, 2010 that a large quantity of used tires had been dumped on private property in the Town limits and began an investigation. Evidence located in the pile of tires led police to Manheim Auto Auction in Red Oak and then to the suspect, who operates a scrap tire removal service. The Georgia EPD is also looking into charges that the suspect falsified State manifests and used another carrier’s ID number on the paperwork. Ejemba has been charged with one felony count of Unlawful Dumping for Commercial Purposes. Aside from being unsightly and expensive to dispose of, scrap tires pose a public health risk because water pools inside of them making them perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
