Mr. J. W. Austin, age 83, of Trion, GA, died Thursday, March 24, 2016, at his residence.
Mr. Austin was born November 17, 1932, in Anniston, AL, son of the late Willie and Lena Austin. He was married for 63 years to Sylvia Sprayberry Austin, and they were blessed with four daughters and one son. Besides being a loving husband, father, and grandfather, he loved his Almighty Savior in which he served as an ordained Deacon since April 3, 1977. Mr. Austin was a member of the Trion First Baptist Church and spent most of his life singing gospel music where he traveled all over the southern United States spreading God's word through song with "The Millionaire Gospel Singers." After years of singing with the Hayes family, he and his family continued spreading the gospel with song. Mr. Austin also served in the United States Navy for four years and was a veteran of the Korean Conflict. He was employed with Combustion Engineering in Chattanooga, TN for 36 years until his retirement, and was known as "The Millionaire." He was also the owner and operator of Trion Cleaners.

A Coca Cola employee was reportedly injured while off-loading drinks at the Summerville CVS early Wednesday morning.
The young man was apparently in the process of bringing a load of drinks down the ramp – when the stack shifted, catching his leg between those drinks, and the chain attached to the hydraulic lift.
Several passersby and CVS employees rushed to his aid and called for an ambulance.
According to the Summerville Police Department, the victim was taken to an area hospital for the treatment of his injuries.
No additional information regarding the extent of his injuries was immediately available.
Update from the Gold Dome
By: Sen. Jeff Mullis (R – Chickamauga)
The Senate Rules Committee held its final meeting of the 2016 legislative session on March 21st.
Governor Deal will have a 40-day period to sign or veto legislation after March 24.
Religious expression was protected this week with the passage of House Bill 757, which was renamed the Freedom Exercise Protection Act. The bill includes language from the Pastor Protection Act (the original title of the bill), the First Amendment Defense Act (Senate Bill 284) and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (Senate Bill 129). The revised bill is a strong compromise between the House and Senate that offers protection for deeply held religious beliefs, but also requires public employees to carry out the full responsibilities of their job description. House Bill 757 simply protects individuals who are exercising their religious beliefs from government retribution or civil lawsuits, and in no way promotes discrimination or prejudice.
This week, I carried House Bill 727 in the Senate. In 2015, the General Assembly passed legislation allowing the sale and use of fireworks in Georgia. This is a follow-up bill that imposes further regulations on fireworks, including time constraints, restriction during times of drought and grants enforcement authority to the state fire marshal and other appropriate agencies. House Bill 727 passed by a vote of 54-0.
Several other notable bills passed the Senate this week, including:
• House Bill 951: This bill reauthorizes the “back to school” state sales tax holiday, as well as a sales tax exemption for energy efficient appliances. It also creates a new sales and use tax exemption for ticket sales to nonrecurring major sporting events. This is anticipated to be a very competitive economic development measure for the state. HB 951 passed by a vote of 38-14.
• House Bill 768: The Georgia Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act would allow people with disabilities to create an untaxed savings account to help pay for “qualified disability benefits” such as purchasing a car or house payment. The program is limited to those with significant disabilities diagnosed before the age of 26 years old and creates a deposit cap of $14,000 per year. The bill passed with a vote by a vote of 53-0.
• House Bill 887: This legislation provides a statutory mechanism to grant temporary caregiving authority for a child to another person without involving the Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS). DFCS would be required to give preference to a relative or fictive kin over a non-relative caregiver in a child placement hearing. The bill passed by a vote of 54-0.
• House Bill 965: The Honorable Jimmy Carter Cancer Treatment Access Act would prevent health plans from requiring that a patient responds to one drug before providing coverage for a different FDA-approved drug. The bill only covers treatment of stage four advanced, metastatic cancer. The use of a different drug must be supported by peer reviewed medical literature. The bill passed by a vote of 54-1.
I want you to know I am never too busy to answer your questions or hear your concerns about proposed legislation. As always, it is an honor and a privilege to represent Senate District 53 at the Georgia State Capitol.
Sen. Jeff Mullis serves as Chairman of the Rules Committee. He represents the 53rd Senate District, which includes Catoosa, Dade, and Walker counties and portions of Chattooga County. He can be reached at his office in Atlanta at 404.656.0057 or by email at jeff.mullis@senate.ga.gov.
With the arrival of spring and residents beginning spring cleaning and yard work the Town of Trion's Maintenance Department would like to remind everyone of their curbside pickup policy. Everyone is asked to separate the yard trimmings, brush and household solid waste debris. Different equipment is used to collect each, and it can be harmful to employees and equipment if items are mixed together.
And don't forget, it's illegal to block roadways, sidewalks and ditches with debris; all debris should be placed behind these, at the edge of the yard. Blocking these can be dangerous for pedestrians and motorists.
Violators may be issued citations to municipal court.
For additional information simply contact Town Hall by calling (706) 734-2332.
