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.

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.

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.

W 1 THE BANK OF PERRY r PERRY,GEORGIA 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 DAVID OVER TON JEWELERS 905 Downtown Carroll St. • Perry 478-987-1392 Thanks to The bank of Perrif. we have a home we call our own.'

THURSDAY, JULY 27, 2006 ♦ 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.
