In a field of 27 teams
and what Head Coach
Mandy Godbee described
as, “the best competition
we have faced and the larg
est meet in which we have
competed,” the Vidalia
High School boys' track
team placed 3rd in last
weekend’s Harmon Invita
tional in Valdosta. The
Lady Indians tied for 10th
place.
The Indians’ 76.50
point total was only 25
points behind 6A Veterans
High School and was 7
points better than AAA pe
rennial power Carver-Co-
lumbus. Tyran Jacobs led
the way for the Indians,
winning the 100m, com
peting against 53 tough
opponents in a strong
headwind. “He was not in
the mix to win this race,”
said Godbee, “but he was
focused and diligent in fine
tuning all elements of his
races and he came up
huge.”
The 4x400 relay team
consisting of Jamarion
Smith, Alton Boles, Adrian
Newkirk, and Brandon
Beasley also took first with
a personal record. Several
others including Nahvie
Berry, who finished 3rd in
the 11 Oh, also recorded
personal bests.
On the girls' side,
Shayla Bennett continued
to show why she is one of
the top throwers for the
Lady Indians, taking 2nd
place in the shot put, with
MaNiyah Phillips placing
5th in the discus. “I am so
proud of these girls,” said
Godbee. “Both ladies con
tinue to earn personal best
performances every time
they compete as they con
tinue to climb the state
rankings.”
The boys’ and girls’
teams will travel to Lincoln
County on Wednesday to
compete in the Lincoln
County Invitational.

Spring 2023 Toombs County Scrap
Tire Amnesty Week
April 10 - 15, 2023
The Scrap Tire Amnesty Week is to prevent illegal dumping of scrap tires on
residential and commercial properties, city right-of-ways and county right-of-
ways.
The Scrap Tire Amnesty Week for Toombs County will take place April 10-15,
2023. This event allows citizens within Tombs County and its municipalities to
bring scrap tires to the Toombs County Landfill located at 3595 GA HWY 15,
Vidalia, GA. 30474 for no charge, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on
April 10-14 and 8:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. on April 15, 2023. This event ends at 11:30
a.m. on April 15, 2023. On April 17, 2023, the normal tire disposal fees for tires
will resume.
These scrap tires can only be passenger cars and trucks, non-commercial semi
tractor trailer, or non-commercial front and rear farm tractor scrap tires. No heavy
equipment tires, especially skidder tires; can be accepted. No scrap tires accepted
from retail tire dealers, or commercial scrap tire generators (Farmers, Loggers,
Owner-Operator Semi- Drivers, etc.). The specifications for this event will be
strictly enforced by Toombs County and the Georgia Environmental Protection
Division. There will be no exceptions to the date, times or tire type.
Funding for the program comes from an application by the Toombs County Board
of Commissioners to the state Solid Waste Trust Fund, which was established in
1990 as part of the Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act. In 1992,
an amendment to the Act established a primary source of funding for the SWTF in
the form of a $1.00 fee on every new tire sold in the state. Each year, fees collected
the previous year MAY be appropriated by the General Assembly to EPD.
The Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources is a state agency charged with protecting Georgia’s air, land, and water
resources through the authority of the state and federal environmental statutes.
