The Augusta News-Review - June 7, 1973, From The Block To The Hill By ILL. Oliver Man, oh man, was the Richmond County Comission chambers packed last Tuesday, he event you well know was the appointment of Coliseum Authority members. By now everyone is aware that commission chairman Norman Simowitz and commissioner John T. Anderson relinquished their Coliseum Authority seats to commissioners Edward M. Mclntyre, and Donald Neal. But the highlight of the Commission’s regular monthly meeting was the support behind commissioner Mclntyre from the community. Here are just a few notables I noticed before racing off to make our news deadline: John Ruffin and James Hinton of course, W.S. Hornsby, Jr., Solomon Walker, H.R. Scott, James Edward Clark Perry, Charles Barraras, Arthur Stewart, Don Brock, Lula Bush, Mildred Willingham, Biondell Connelly, Dan Cross, Jery and Kaye Morgan, Al Irby, George Johnson, Joe Jones, Charles Walker, Margaret Armstrong, Gladys Evans, Billy (Wild Child) Jean, Rev. J.S. Wright, Rev. N.T. Young, Rev. M. Padgett, Mrs. Carrie J. Mays, Willie Mays, Marion Barnes, Nathaniel Hill, Ronald Loftin, Thomas Hankerson, Mabel Scott just to mention a few. It is interesting to notethat a witness in the case of Gary L. Jones accused of the February 7, 1973 assault and robbery of a woman behind the Trinity On The Hill Methodist Church, was indicted by the Richmond County Grand Jury for perjury. Seems like Cyril J. Bannick of 2920 Stratford Drive allegedly told he was not aquainted with the victim or her family. Whatever the mixup with Mr. Bannick, the trial was declared a mistrial, then discontinued until next September. I still believe in Gary’s innoncense and feel it’s shameful he is still behind bars, and has been since February 1973, although he has been to trial on several occasions for the same charge.

This program will involve volunteers who daily call elderly and incapacitated persons who live alone, or are temporarily alone. Such programs are presently in operation in the U.S. The idea for such a service bagan when a lady in Saginaw, Mich, discovered a friend, living alone, who had had a stroke and lay paralyzed on the floor for eight days. This needless tragedy promted her to organize such a program and the reassurance idea has since spread. Volunteer callers will call clients requesting this service at an appointed time each day. If the person fails to answer, an emergency system will go into Ward City Councilman and Mr. Johnson of the sth Ward - there have been no back yard collections in my particular section of the Bth Ward. Not since the Patterson contract fizzled. Rita Varnedoe, director of the Assistance Information Direction program (A.1.D.) says she needs the aid of volunteers for the Telephone Reassurance Program. She says, “We also need names of people, elderly and handicapped who live alone, as well as volunteers to call them daily.” If you want to help call 738-7723 and ask for Rita Varnedoe. For those who have asked, Yes I am moonlighting. That’s why you saw me in Levis. I am building my muscles doing construction work. In answer to another question, Yes!

And another Black professional effect. Cooperation of the Police Department has been secured. This call could mean the difference in life and death, or between complete recuperation and permanent disablement. The client’s doctor and relatives will be notified of the crisis. Persons interested in volunteering as callers are urged to contact AID, 738-7723 as soon as possible. Complete information will be given at that time. Persons living alone who would like to receive calls are urged to call AID and have their names put on the list. The service is free, and should be welcomed by many shut-ins who have little contact with outsiders. Anyone knowing persons needing such a call are requested to call this information in. AID will contact the client to make definite calling procedures. makes the News-Review.
