Help sought to ID
man's body
AUGUSTA (MNS) - Police
are seeking the public’s help
in identifying a body found
Tuesday morning at the base
of the lock and dam near the
Augusta Regional Airport.
District Attorney Danny
Craig said two fishermen
discovered the body about
7 a.m. Richmond County
Deputy Coroner Charlena
Graham said she pronounced
the unidentified man dead
at 10 a.m.
Richmond County sheriffs
Sgt. Richard Roundtree said
the man was in his mid-20s
and probably had been in the
water less than six hours.
The death has been ruled
a homicide, but until the
victim is identified, prelimi
nary results of the autopsy
are not being released by the
sheriffs office. On Tuesday
night, Richmond County
sheriffs deputies returned
to the south boat ramp after
another fisherman said he
saw what looked like a human
arm in the Savannah River
- in the same vicinity of the
morning discovery. Michael
Carothers of Augusta, told
police about his discovery at
about 6 p.m.
Gray's Reef plan
finalized
SAVANNAH (MNS) - New
rules are on the way for
divers and fishermen who
enjoy Gray’s Reef, a pro
tected sanctuary abounding
with fish, corals and sponges
about 18 nautical miles east
of Sapelo Island.
The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
released a final manage
ment plan for the sanctuary
Tuesday.

it goes into effect, prohibits
anchoring in the sanctuary,
and allows fishing only by
rod and reel, handline and
spearfishing gear without
powerheads.
Spearfishing proved to be
one of the most controversial
issues during the seven-year
development of the plan.
The practice can be prob
lematic because of what
gets caught, said Becky
Shortland, stewardship
coordinator for Gray’s Reef
National Marine Sanctuary.
“The largest, most repro
ductively viable fish tend to
be the targets,” she said.
The plan originally sought
to ban spearfishing on the
reef, but outcries from fish
ermen softened the rule to
exclude only spearfishing
with powerheads.
Over the next two years,
researchers will investigate
how many people use the
reef for spearfishing and
what they catch. Sanctuary
managers will revisit the
issue then.

Can You Believe It, Carter-Wilkes Construction Inc.,
the Builders of that great new subdivision called
Sugarloaf have extended the special buyer bonus?
No, What's the bonus? If you contract and close on one of
their completed homes within 30 days of the contract accep
tance, you get $1,500.00 to use for anything you wish,
and the builder will still pay up to $3,000.00 towards your
closing cost. WOW, I have seen those homes and they are
all brick on Ig. lots with such quality features like custom
cabinets, security systems, sod & sprinklers. Well I heard
that Karen had available a 100% loan program with no PMI! I think that we need
to go visit with Karen again before they are all gone.

resentative and president of

“I think America was taken
back in time last year when
they saw the news reports
and articles about last year’s
re-enactment,” Brooks said.
“They saw that and they
said, OThis is horrible, this
is heinous, but it happened.’
In 2006, it is hard to imagine
what it was like for black
people in 1946.”
GABEO hosted the sec
ond annual re-enactment
Tuesday of the Moore’s Ford
lynching near the bridge that
links Walton and Oconee
counties over the Apalachee
River.
The re-enactment told the
story of Roger and Dorothy
Malcom and George and
Mae Murray Dorsey, who
were killed by a white mob
near Moore’s Ford Bridge
on July 25, 1946, days after
Roger Malcom fought with a
white man.
When the FBI originally
investigated the murders,
there were as many as 55
suspects, but no one was
arrested or charged in con
nection with the murders.
Before the re-enactment,
some 200 people rallied at the
First African Baptist Church
in Monroe, then traced the
places and events that led to
the couples’ deaths.
About 16 white men from
Atlanta came to play the
part of the white mob at the
bridge.

Judge rules against
Florida in dispute
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP)
- A federal judge has ruled
against Florida’s request
in a tri-state water dis
pute to temporarily give
it more water from the
Chattahoochee River to save
endangered mussels.
U.S. District Judge Karon
Bowdre’s order said Florida
officials did not prove that
the actions of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, which
controls the flow of water in
the river, harm the mussels.
“The Corps cannot con
trol the weather, nor can it
be held responsible for the
effects of the weather on the
mussels’ habitat,” Bowdre
wrote in the order issued
Tuesday evening.
Bowdre noted previous
efforts by the corps to pro
tect the mussels.
“Providing more water for
the mussels than nature has
herself demonstrates that
the Corps takes seriously its
responsibility to ensure that
its actions do not jeopardize
the continued existence of
these mussels,” she wrote.
Florida filed the motion
before a temporary water use
agreement between Georgia
and Alabama expired this
month. The states have been
trying to work out a perma
nent water-use agreement.
Georgia and Alabama offi
cials are concerned sending
more water downstream to
Florida will leave them with
out enough water for their
states. The issue is part of a
larger water-sharing dispute

between the states.
“We’re disappointed
with Judge Bowdre’s rul
ing,” said Anthony De
Luise, a spokesman with
the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection.
Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue
said he is pleased with the
decision.
“Georgia exhausted all
available options for nego
tiations in an attempt to
remain out of court,” he
said in a written state
ment. “Ultimately, Florida’s
demand for more water than
is naturally occurring was
unrealistic, especially in
light of Georgia’s current
severe drought conditions.”
Chris Bence, a spokesman
with the Alabama Attorney
General’s Office, said attor
neys have not had an oppor
tunity to review the deci
sion.
A call to Alabama Gov.
Bob Riley’s spokesman was
not immediately returned
Tuesday night.
Bowdre’s order also
praised the now-expired
interim agreement that was
reached by the states. *
The agreement “reflects
a historic milestone in this
dispute that has spanned
more than sixteen years,”
she wrote.
