You would think that people would have enough pride in their community to always keep it squeaky clean, but unfortunately some people look at the outdoors as their private dumping ground.

We have been fortunate here in Newton County to have a real tiger to ensure that those people learn that trashing the area is not only not proper it is illegal.

Connie Waller has been the queen of keeping Newton County beautiful for some time now. She put her heart, energy and health into protecting all of us from those that have no pride.

Connie has decided to expend that energy that she put into helping us into more time with her own family.

We are going to miss her and her big smile.

Grandma Connie, enjoys your new life and thanks for making ours much better.
