After weeks of back-and-
forth political posturing, Geor
gia’s U.S. Senate candidates
have agreed to a televised
debate.
U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock,
D-Ga., and Republican chal
lenger Herschel Walker will
meet Oct. 14 in Savannah.
After the two sides agreed
to the debate late Tuesday,
Warnock upped the ante by
inviting Walker to at least one
additional debate in Macon or
Atlanta.
“Reverend Warnock is eager
to speak to Georgians about his
work on their behalf and re
mains hopeful Herschel Walker
will do right by Georgians, get
on a debate stage at least one
other time ... and explain his
positions to them,” said Quen
tin Fulks, Warnock’s campaign
manager.
“I’m glad to see that Raphael
U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., Republican challenger Herschel Walker
Warnock has agreed to face
the voters,” Walker countered.
“I’m looking forward to Octo
ber 14th so the voters can see
the contrast between us.”
Georgia Public Broadcasting
has scheduled a Senate debate
Oct. 16 at its Midtown Atlanta
studios.
But Walker has balked at
such a studio debate for weeks,
insisting that the debate be held
before a live audience, raising
the possibility that Warnock
could end up on the stage with
an empty podium.
The Savannah debate will
be hosted by WSAV-TV and
shown on other stations across
Georgia.

Panel recommends new names
for forts Gordon, Benning
DAVE WILLIAMS

The federal commission
that recommended last spring
renaming forts Gordon and
Benning in Georgia and seven
other military bases named
for Confederate leaders has
completed its work.
The Naming Commission
submitted the third and final
portion of its report to Congress
Monday, recommending hun
dreds of Confederate-inspired
street and building names for
renaming or removal.
In May, the commission
recommended renaming Fort
Gordon near Augusta for
former President and World
War II military leader Dwight
Eisenhower and renaming Fort
Benning near Columbus for
Lt. Gen. Hal Moore and his
wife Julia. Moore’s 32 years
of service in the Army included
commanding combat troops in
Vietnam.
Other military bases slated
to receive new names include
Fort Bragg in North Carolina,
Fort Rucker in Alabama; Fort
Polk in Louisiana, and forts
A.P Hill, Lee and Pickett in
Virginia.
The commission visited
the installations last year for
listening sessions with military
commanders and community
leaders to gain feedback in
cluding preferences for new
names. The panel received
more than 34,000 submissions
for renaming, including 3,670
unique names.
The commission estimates it
will cost $21 million to rename
the nine bases and $62.5 mil-
can 706.554.2111
ior vourconv
lion to implement the recom
mendations in the full report.
The annual defense bill in
2021 created the commission,
composed of eight volunteers
chosen by the defense secretary
and Congress, and gave it until
Oct. 1 to submit its recommen
dations. The commission was
given $2 million to complete
the task.
“We finished on time, spend
ing only a quarter of the money
authorized by Congress and
returning $1.7 million to the
taxpayers,” said retired Army
Brig. Gen. Ty Seidule, the
panel’s vice chairman.
Besides the new base names,
the commission also recom
mended renaming two Navy
ships - the USS Chancellors-
ville, named for a battle the
Confederates won in 1863, and
the USNS Maury, named after
a commander in the Confeder
ate Navy.
