"We are the front lines of truth advocacy. Major media outlets have traded truth for sensationalism, and online news sites have no real legal concerns to keep them in check. Digital text is not ink. The community newspapers are left as the only legally challenged body of information. We cannot afford to lie. We cannot afford to be inaccurate. We are the last stand for freedom of the press. We are the last of the true journalists."

By Daniel L. Bamberg

After the untimely passing of Reverend James McBride the Bibb County Board of Education was faced with the difficult decision of finding his replacement.  Former Bibb County educator, Elaine Stoudemire was tapped on Thursday, March 24 as his replacement.  Stoudemire has over served as a teacher at Brent Elementary School until resigning in June of 2009.  She will serve at least he remainder of McBride’s term through 2012.

With Centreville City Councilman, Kenny Hicks rolling off of the Bibb County Airport Authority, a decision was made last week to replace Hicks with retired Bibb County educator, Dr. Eddie Brown.  Brown served as principal of Bibb County High School until deciding to run for Superintendent of Bibb County Schools in 2006.  He was not elected and chose to continue as a teacher at BCHS until resigning last year.
