Vol. 139, No. 41 - Waynesboro, Ga. 30830 Established in 1882 Wednesday, November 27, 2019 - $1.00
This little Indian boy, Benny Joiner, was not very excited about the attention he received from the pretty pilgrim
girls, Addison Mangieri and Sadie Yelton, during the Waynesboro First United Methodist Church Preschool's
annual Thanksgiving feast.
Turkey talkin'
B urke County’s littlest
cooks had a ton of great
ideas on how to prepare
the best Thanksgiving
feast around. While many told us
how to catch and cook a turkey,
others provided us with alternatives
alongside some interesting side
dishes. They also showed us how
to incorporate everyday items, like
lipstick and glue, into our recipes.
Here are some of our favorites from
around the county:

Island Turkey
You get a turkey at home and cook
it with fish. You go to the beach and
cook it. I’m going to cut it apart, and
it tastes like chicken.
Alexx Bllue, Kell Jenkins’ Pre
school Class at First United Method
ist Church (FUMC)
Yummy Turkey
We get a turkey and squeeze lem
ons on him and then on his eyes so
we can’t see. Put salad around the
pan. Sometimes put water on it. Then
cook him. When he is done cooking,
we just start eating him and that’s the
thing we eat at Thanksgiving.
Maxon Mills, Kathy Clark’s Kin
dergarten Class, Faith Christian
Academy (FCA)
Chopped Deer
Shoot it. Take it to Choppers; they
can get the skin off and chop it up.
Cook it in the oven.
Drake Crockett, Debbie Kittrell’s
K4 Class, Edmund Burke Academy
(EBA)
Pretty Turkey
Get a turkey. Put it in the oven on
20 degrees. Put lipstick and cheese
on it. Cook for 3 minutes. If he is still
walking around, put him back in for
2 more minutes.

las and Kristen Page
A Turkey for Me
We all go to the grocery store and
buy a turkey. We pour sugar, cheese
and salad dressing on it to make it
taste good. Put it on the stove for
about five seconds. Then we are
ready to eat it. It will taste so good.
London Gillette, Kristen Laidig ’s
Pre-K Class, WPS
Fruity Turkey
Go get a turkey from the turkey
patch. You have to catch it with a
net. Wash it before you cook it. Put
strawberries inside the turkey and
blueberries on top. You have to cook
it in the oven for 40 minutes at 90
degrees.

A number of lawbreakers are
now behind bars for running from
deputies and being in possession of
drugs.
On the afternoon, of Thursday,
Nov. 21, deputies from the Burke
County Sheriff’s Office attempted
to stop a black Nissan Maxima as it
turned onto Four Points Road from
Old Waynesboro Road because the
driver was not wearing a seatbelt.
According to a news release from
the sheriff’s office, the driver, Shelby
Self, 19, would not pull over and
instead increased her speed. The
report says that when she came to a
stop on Story Mill Road in Richmond
County, she fled from the vehicle,
as did a passenger in the car, Tylan
Lee, 22, who was carrying a large,
white trash bag. With the help of
a BCSO K9 unit, the Hephzibah
Police Department and other BCSO
deputies and investigators, Lee was
located in a vacant car on Patiller
Road. Self was caught after a brief
foot pursuit shortly after she fled the
vehicle.
Lee was arrested on an outstanding
warrant for armed robbery in
Richmond County, while Self was
charged for no seatbelt, no insurance,
reckless driving and felony fleeing or
attempting to elude law enforcement.
The large trash bag Lee was carrying
had clothes and other personnel items
in it, along with an empty jar that
smelled like marijuana. “We did
find various items thrown along the
path he took when running but did
not locate any contraband,” BCSO
Chief Deputy Lewis Blanchard said.
The following morning at 5:15
a.m., deputies again attempted a
traffic stop, this time on a vehicle
traveling south on Highway 56 at 72
miles per hour in a 55 mph zone. The
driver, Terrence Derant Smith, fled
and abruptly changed lanes, cutting
off several vehicles while attempting
to turn onto Highway 23. The report
says he then ran into a ditch in front
of the In and Out convenience store,
threw an unknown object from the
front passenger window, vaulted
from the ditch and then continued
driving south along Highway 23
before coming to a stop on the 400
block of the roadway.
Deputies observed several torn
clear plastic bags in the driver’s
door pocket, which contained
methamphetamine residue. Smith
admitted that he was under the
influence of methamphetamine but
not alcohol and declined to take a
state administered test, the report
said. The area where Smith hit the
ditch and threw
something from
the car window
was also searched,
and deputies found

FCA students learn value of service through community projects

"Whatever you do, work at it with
all your heart as working for the Lord
and not for men, since you know that
you will receive an inheritance from
the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord
Christ you are serving."
Colossians 3:23-24
And serve they did.
Faith Christian Academy began
a service project this fall that every
single student could be part of.
From cleaning around the school to
bringing snacks to first responders,
each class had its own special project
that centered around the theme of
giving to others.
“I wanted to be able to put hands
and feet to this idea of working for
the Lord,” says FCA Principal Amy
Grubb. “It is easy for us to talk about
helping others, but it sometimes
seems difficult to do. I spoke with
our teachers about the theme verse
and ways that we could get the
students excited about serving others
as a way of serving Christ.”
What came next was the
incorporation of spirit week and
service week.
“Spirit week is an exciting
time at our school; we have class
competitions to show our school
pride and end the week with our
homecoming dance. It is easy to get
excited about spirit week. We wanted
the students to get just as motivated
about service,” Grubb
says. SEE
