BRUNSWICK - Past and present Appling County school system officials acknowledge demoting and firing a former administrator.
In their response to Rick Townsend’s lawsuit, however, they deny it was because he provided evidence that prompted the state to suspend the district’s former superintendent and place it on accreditation probation.

Townsend is suing former county Superintendent Gene “Sam” Herndon, former interim Superintendent Debra M. Brantley, former school board Chairman M.C. Barlow Jr., the school district and its school board. [Full Story »]

Recycling program started in community

Recycling has arrived in Appling County at last! Appling County, the City of Baxley, Appling County Board of Education, and Willow Girl Scout Troop have partnered to begin a paper recycling program. It all started with one young woman in our community and an idea she believed in. Girl Scout Tierra Lewis recognized a need for recycling, and with assistance, she applied for a Challenge and Change Grant funded by the USDA in partnership with the Girl Scouts of the USA. In the Challenge and Change training, girls learn to identify the root causes of community needs, come up with a potential strategy to address issues, and then identify potential community partners who can help implement solutions. Tierra did just that! The grant, along with funds from the City of Baxley, helped purchase small blue recycling containers for each school in our city and county. Eager to get started, County and City officials have partnered with a company to manage the recycling program. SP Recycling of Savannah agreed to provide large, outdoor green recycling containers and have agreed to service them at no cost. [Full Story »]

Just in case you’ve missed all the bunny and egg decorations in various stores in the area, it’s Easter. This holiday is very enjoyable, especially watching the little ones scurry around at egg hunts. Of course one part of Easter that I really enjoy is chocolate. Those Cadbury Eggs really put a hurting on my waistline. [Full Story »]
