"That was the thing to remember about all monsters; they love to frighten people, but the minute you stare them down, they turn tail and run." ~ Jeanette Walls Last week, it was reported that a sitting member of the Newton County Board of Education was attacked. No, she wasn't in a fight or physically bloodied, but she was hurt in a more devastating and destructive way. Shakila Henderson-Baker was slandered last week by a nameless coward, who in her own mother's neighborhood left letters in mailboxes that accused her of deeds which never happened.
