Students vying for Governor’s Honors
Fourteen Glynn County high school students have been se-lected as semi-fi nalists for the
Georgia Governor’s Honors Program, a prestigious summer program offered to the state’s most talented students.
Five Brunswick High students and nine Glynn Academy students traveled to Berry College this past weekend to interview for a spot in the program.
The Georgia Governor’s Honors Program is a residential summer pro-gram for rising juniors and seniors that offers instruction beyond what’s taught in a high school classroom.
GHP takes place from mid-June to mid-July at Berry College in Rome. Students choose a major and a minor to study while in the program.
“It’s set up like a little tiny college situation,” said Dakota Graf, a junior at Brunswick High who auditioned for the theater program. “You go and you live in the dorms … It’s set up in a college’s schedule.”
Glynn County nominates 25 students each year for semi-fi nalists in the various areas of study, which include music, science, world languages, math-ematics, engineering and communica-tive arts.
Over the weekend, the semi-fi nalists were interviewed individually and par-ticipated in auditions that showcased their skills.
The students returned to school Monday with stories of the highlights and challenges they experienced over the weekend.
Caroline Chapman, a Glynn Academy student who auditioned for a vocalist spot in the program, woke up the morning of her audition with a strained voice due to a cold.
“My mom was like ‘Don’t try to make any excuse. Just go in and act like you’re healthy, or else they’ll think you’re making an excuse,’” Chapman said.
The interviews focused on the stu-dents’ own skills and interests.
“With your personal interview, they just kind of ask you questions about yourself,” said Adam Weaver, a Glynn Academy semi-fi nalist who applied for the science program. “My interviewer was an AP chemistry and AP envi-ronmental science teacher … It went pretty well.”
Rebecca Riden, a Glynn Academy student who applied for the world lan-guages program, wrote a timed essay
in Spanish and then completed her interview entirely in Spanish.
“It was defi nitley a faster pace than I’m used to in school, because (the interviewers were) native speakers, but I think it went pretty well,” she said.
The students said the program would allow them to pursue their passions.
“I’ve been doing music since I was a kid,” said Grace Schott, a Brunswick High junior who applied to the vocal program. “… It’s been my passion since I was a kid, and I would love the opportunity to be able to learn and grow within my passion.”
The students will fi nd out by March 30 if they’ve been selected for the program.
“I think we can all agree we’ve really wanted to do this for a long time,” said Matthew Rowell, a Brunswick High
sophomore who applied for the music program. “So, really, getting into this camp will help us expand our skill set and really move us all forward with our studies.”
At Brunswick High, the semi-fi nal-ists included Grace Schott, Cannon Hutcheson, Matthew Rowell, Ian Carpenter and Dakota Graf.
At Glynn Academy, the semi-fi nal-ists were Reese Richardson, Matthew Funkhouser, Michael Mitchell, Kobe Mukes, Caroline Chapman, Ansley McNeese, Jad Darazim, Adam Weaver and Rebecca Riden.

Three of the seven Glynn County Commission seats are up for election this year, but only two of the three commissioners are running for re-election.
Commission Chairman Bill Brunson, who represents District 4, and At-Large Post 2 Commissioner Mark Stambaugh are running for re-election this year, but District 3 Commissioner Richard Strickland is not. He decided he’s had a good run, he said.
He has represented Dis-trict 3 for two terms, totaling eight years.
In particular, Strickland said he’s proud of how the commission handled the construction of a new Glynn County Detention Center, the construction of the Canal Crossing Shopping Center, a 10 percent across-the-board pay increase for public safe-ty offi cers and two brushes with hurricanes Matthew and Irma, among other events.
“I’ll fi nd something else to do, but I never got into this county commission job to make a career, so it’s time to go,” Strickland said.
Brunson said he has a num-ber of things he’s glad he ac-complished and that he plans to keep track of if re-elected.
Brunson said he’s proud of the commission’s strategic plan, which was adopted at a commission planning retreat last year. The strategic plan has been used as a guide for county staff on what issues should be prioritized.
On the subject of public safety, Brunson said the mill-age increase is something he’s glad the commission passed, despite vocal public opposition. Most of the mon-ey went to public safety, he said, and to combat the high turnover the nearly every emergency response fi eld.
If he’s re-elected, public safety and tackling crime are going to continue to be focuses for Brunson. He was optimistic, adding that he’s never seen such cooperation between local law enforce-
ment agencies.He also mentioned Special
Purpose Local Option Sales Tax 2016, and said the com-mission is going to strive to keep to its commitment to fi nish all projects on the list in a timely manner.
Stambaugh said he’s proud of work he’s done on in-creasing county staff’s ac-countability and reigning in the Glynn County Recreation and Parks Department’s bud-get.
He also said he’s glad to have been a part of getting the Glynn County Fire De-partment updated equipment for its fi refi ghters and EMTs.
“Pay is good, but you need to give them the tools to do the job right,” Stambaugh said.
He also enjoyed being able to help constituents on an in-dividual level.
He said the primary eco-nomic growth in the county has been commission-driven, pointing to Canal Crossing and the growth of the Bruns-wick-Golden Isles Airport. Potentially changing the
Brunswick and Glynn Coun-ty Development Authority to be more effective in that re-gard is something he plans to pursue if re-elected.
He also plans to continue looking at improving recre-ation and parks’ effi ciency.
Candidate qualifi cation begins next week, but sev-eral candidates have already announced their intentions to run for one of the three seats.
Qualifi cation begins 9 a.m. March 5 and will end at noon on March 9. Republicans wishing to qualify for any of the offi ces listed should visit Compass Law Group at 300 Main St. on St. Simons Is-land. Democrats should visit Strom Law Firm at 603 G St. in Brunswick.
Election day for primaries is May 22. Election day for the general elections is Nov. 6. The last day a person can register to vote in the primary is April 23 and Oct. 9 for the general election.

SAVANNAH — The $973 million deepening of the busy shipping channel to the Port of Savannah is nearly halfway complete.
Contractor Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Compa-ny began dredging a 20-mile (32-kilometer) stretch from the Savannah River into the Atlantic Ocean in September 2015. Project manager Armand Riehl said Wednesday a dredging barge is mopping up rough spots
after the company removed about 857,000 dump truck loads of sand and mud from the river bottom.
Savannah is racing for deeper water to accommo-date larger cargo ships using the expanded Panama Ca-nal. Right now those ships can only reach the port at high tide when carrying full loads.
The Army Corps of En-gineers must award another contract to deepen the sec-ond half of the channel past downtown Savannah to the port’s docks.
