'Radio Show' Is Friday
The Sons of Lafayette Male Choir, under the direction of
Loren Pinkerman, and guest performers Anne Duraski, Ed
Biggs and Kathy Nash will present an evening of family
entertainment Nov. 14 at 8 p.m. in the new Troup High School
Auditorium.
"The Radio Show" will feature the Sons of Lafayette
singing cowboy songs including "Cool Water", "The Old
Chisholm Trail" and "Riders In The Sky" and a set of 1960s
tunes ("I Get Around", "Fun, Fun, Fun" and "Earth Angel")
which will have the audience singing and dancing in the
aisles.
In keeping with the cowboy theme in the first act, guests
Anne Duraski, Ed Biggs and Kathy Nash will present a comic
"horse opera" entitled "Sweet Baby From Pike", which is
based on the American Folk Song of the same name. Biggs
and Nash also will entertain with their rendition of the famous
Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald duet "Indian Love
Song" while Duraski and Pinkerman also will sing solos.
A smaller ensemble from Sons of Lafayette will perform
other pieces, and a Radio Host will handle the radio com-
mercials and commentary.
The audience is invited to get in the spirit and join in the
fun by dressing in either cowboy or 60s clothing.
State of Georgia, Troup
County
To the honorable Allen B.
Keeble, Judge of Superior
Court, Coweta Judicial
Circuit:
We, the members of the
Troup County Grand Jury
drawn and sworn for the
November 2003 Term,
respectfully make the fol-
lowing presentments:
We wish to express our
appreciation to District
Attorney Peter John
Skandalakis and all who
assisted him in the prepara-
tion and presentation of the
cases brought before us for
action. We commend the
District Attorney and his
staff for their professional-
ism and attention to detail.
Their presentations were
invaluable in making our
decisions.
We also wish to thank Mr.
Marion Carson and Mr.
Donald Neese, our bailiffs,
for their assistance. We com-
mend law enforcement per-
sonnel, who came before us,
whose dedication to duty
deserves our support,
encouragement, and sincere
thanks. We are impressed
with their demonstrated dili-
gence and competence.
This Grand Jury would
also like to extend our grati-
tude to the Honorable Judge
Allen B. Keeble for his serv-
ice and dedication to the judi-
cial process.
This Grand Jury was pre-
sented an indictment for con-
sideration which involved the
disciplining of a student by a
school administrator. The
student was disciplined in
accordance with the adopted
policies and procedures of
the Troup County School
Board. After deliberating the
evidence, this Grand Jury
returned a No Bill as to that
particular indictment.
As a result of this case,
this Grand Jury requested
that someone associated with
the Troup County School
Board appear before this
body to answer their ques-
tions. We wish to thank
Associate Superintendent,
Ed Smith, for appearing
before us to discuss the adopt-
ed disciplinary policies of the
Board and what action is
being taken to ensure that an
incident similar to the case
submitted does not occur
again.
After discussing the case
with Mr. Smith and consider-
ing all the evidence before
us, this Grand Jury makes the
following recommendations
to the elected members of the
Troup County School Board
and the Superintendent:
We concur with the deci-
sion to suspend corporal pun-
ishment as a form of disci-
plining students until further
information is obtained by
officials to determine if this
matter is valid and/or an
acceptable practice.
If the elected members of
the School Board do adopt
corporal punishment as an
acceptable method of last
resort discipline, we urge
them to do away with the
"standard paddle" and take
into consideration the differ-
ent sizes and ages of all stu-
dents in our system.
This body is mindful that
the elected members of the
School Board are the ones
responsible for educating our
children and ensuring the
safety of all our children in
school. We are hopeful that
the Board will review other
school district disciplinary
policies and consider all
viable options before making
a final decision regarding this
matter.
We further urge parents
to become involved in this
matter and make their feel-
ings known to the elected
school board members con-
cerning the policy of corpo-
ral punishment in the schools.
We also heard testimony
from law enforcement con-
cerning certain child
molestation cases. We urge
all of our agencies to work
closely together on these
cases and further urge
Department of Family and
Children Services and
Juvenile Court to examine
their procedures/policies
involving the placement of
children into protective cus-
tody.

the Court, this Grand Jury

Regular Member First
