INTERVIEW BY VINCENT HOBBS

If you have ever attended a vol-leyball game, girls basketball game or track meet where ARC (Academy of Richmond County) was competing, you have probably seen the 5’ 3” petite ball of energy on the sidelines, watch-ing the game intently, shouting endless instructions and words of encourage-ment to the players. You will have observed her infectious enthusiasm, spurring the Musketeer athletes to push a little harder, to run a little faster, to control that ball and to orchestrate the score. Or even to set a new record.

Meet ARC coach and sports athletic director Chequita “Peaches” Stephens – simply and affectionately known as “Coach P” to the student-athletes who have the distinction of competing under her expert advice. Stephens earned her accolades as a power athlete for Butler High School, garnering state track and field championships (individ-ual and team) in 1995 in the 100-meter, 200-meter, 4 x 100 meter and 4 x 400 meter races on the oval asphalt. She is also a seven-time All-American college athlete, with four indoor and three out-door NCAA top performances.

Those early years cemented Stephens’ love for coaching, which extends beyond her contributions to ARC. She also coaches her elementary school-age son, Donavon, and makes

herself available for coaching to any student-athlete, up to college level, free of charge. She considers her gift of coaching to be part of her ministry, to help others. Her husband Jonavon also coaches and is the assistant athletic director at Paine College.

UPW spent some time on the ARC campus to get more insight on the phe-nomenon of Coach P.

Where did you get your education?I attended elementary school in

Augusta and I graduated from Butler High School. I earned my Bachelor’s degree (Therapeutic Recreation) from the University of Florida, my Master’s degree (Foundations of Education) from Troy University in Augusta, and Education Specialist degree (Leadership) from Liberty University.

Which sports did you participate in during high school and college?

In high school, I played softball, bas-ketball and I ran track. Collegiately, I was blessed with an athletic scholar-ship to compete in track in field for the University of Florida. Go Gators!

Why did you decide to become involved in coaching?

I love sports and I also enjoy work-ing with others. I’m a giver. My idea is to give back as much as I can. I can’t always give in a monetary way, so I

give my time. I feel I’ve been blessed, so I try to be a blessing to others.

What are your favorite sports to coach?

Whatever my current season is!

Why do you think it is important for students to participate in athlet-ic activities?

Being involved in sports isn’t just about the sport — they learn so much more! Hopefully, I can help develop character, teamwork, how to handle adversity, discipline, work ethic and goal-setting. Those are the things that they will keep forever, even when their sports careers end.

What are your past and current positions at ARC?

I teach health and physical educa-tion. As far as coaching goes, I coach volleyball, girls’ basketball and track and field. I also serve as the school’s athletic director.

Give us a student success story.Believe it or not, it comes from

two students that I ended up cutting from one of my teams, after having played previous years. Each of these students either emailed me or came to me in person and apologized for their actions in high school. They under-stood that being cut from the team

was not personal or to hurt them, but rather to help them.

What is one thing that you would like to see improved for stu-dent-athletes in the county?

I would like to see more emphasis being placed on the academic side of “student-athlete”. We should put just as much into studying and excelling academically, as we do with athletics alone. An academic scholarship earns a degree as much as an athletic one. Even more so, if a student doesn’t have the right grades, they can hurt their chances of earning an athletic scholarship.

How can the community be more effective in supporting our stu-dent-athletes?

Support us! Anyone who enjoys sports should come out to support the students. They work hard and are very talented. It is helpful in two ways to have the stands filled. The stu-dents are motivated by it. It also helps to financially support the programs when fans buy tickets for games.

What are some of your hobbies?Coaching! My work is my play and

my play is my work. When you love what you do and enjoy it more than anything else, you’re always having fun!

“Peaches” Stephens: A life of developing athletes

ARC Coach “Peaches” Stephens loves coaching and devel-oping athletes, but acknowledges that academic achieve-ment is crucial to an athlete’s full development.

Judge Carl Brown

AUGUSTAWhenever Superior Court Judge

Carl C. Brown makes a decision on the bench, he says it is the ideals that unify this country that governs his steps.

“My platform is this – we are a nation under God, and it’s in God we trust,” Judge Brown said. “So the conclusion is, ‘Help me, God.’ Help me be full of wisdom, under-standing and patience to do those duties I am required to do.”

The incumbent Judge Brown will run against attorney Christopher Nicholson in a race slated for Tuesday, May 24. Brown touts the successes of the Augusta Judicial

Circuit (AJC) and highlights new innovations on the way in Richmond, Burke and Columbia counties.

“We are real proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish in the Augusta Judicial Circuit,” Brown said. “We have a brand new court-house in Augusta – a $67 million facility with 17 courtrooms.

“In Columbia County, we have a very modern facility to accommo-date citizens. We are preparing to build a facility in Burke County,” Brown continued. “The point of that is my colleagues and I work hard to make sure that we promote fairness and accessibility, and we

are proud of that.”Recently, critics of the AJC have

said the circuit needs reform. In response, Judge Brown said the hallmark of the circuit is its fair-ness in dealing with the residents in the tri-county area.

“I want to try to continue to render fair and impartial justice to all of our citizens,” Brown said. “That’s what I strive for.”

Brown, 67, and his wife, Dalline, have five adult children and seven grandchildren. For more infor-mation on Brown’s campaign, email [email protected].

AUGUSTASuperior Court Judge candi-

date and attorney Christopher Nicholson is a second-generation lawyer and has admittedly been around law “all of my life.”

By virtue of his life’s experienc-es, he has serious concerns about the Augusta Judicial Circuit.

“I’ve been around the law, watched what goes on in the (Augusta Judicial Circuit), and I believe it’s time for some reform,” Nicholson said. “It’s running ram-pant in what it does, it violates lit-igants’ rights, and I believe I can make a difference because of my philosophy and overall expertise.”

When he meets opponent and incumbent Judge Carl C. Brown

on Tuesday, May 24, he will do so on a platform that demands

change within the local circuit – and on a much broader scale.

“We need to do away with this connotation of being a convict – a felon,” Nicholson said. “You could make (one mistake) and you have this stigma of being a felon, and the system does away with your civil rights.

“I have an interest in people,” Nicholson continued. “I don’t want to see them going to jail, and anything I can help them with, I’m going to do it.”

Aside from judicial reform, Nicholson explained in a video on his Facebook page that fair-ness is vitally important to his philosophy.

“Whether you’re rich or poor, it

makes no difference,” he said. “I would operate under a presump-tion of innocence, and ensure that everyone has the right to a fair trial.”

Nicholson, 68, has one adult son. For more information on Nicholson’s campaign, visit the Facebook page entitled, “Chris G. Nicholson for Superior Court Judge for Augusta Judicial Circuit.”

2016 ELECTION - SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE

THE QUEST FOR DIVERSITY

Paschall touts diversity and compassion in run for Superior Court

Evita Paschall

FLYTHE’S PHILOSOPHY

‘Firm, but fair’ is the ideology that powers state court Judge’s campaign

John Flythe

AUGUSTA A simple, yet effective credo

effectually inspires the jurisdic-tion of State Court Judge John Flythe – “firm, but fair.”

“I am proud of my record, and I am proud of my reputa-tion,” Judge Flythe said. “I think that the people of the (Augusta Judicial) Circuit want someone who is experienced in these types of cases.”

Flythe’s campaign emphasiz-es “unmatched experience” and being “tough on crime.” As Flythe prepares to take on Evita Paschall for the Superior Court seat vacat-

ed by Judge Carlisle Overstreet, he is banking on his experiences to endear him to voters. The elec-tion is slated for Tuesday, May 24.

“My work as an assistant district attorney, my work as a municipal court judge and in my private practice have prepared me on a professional level to be a Superior Court judge,” Flythe said. “I enjoy the challenge of people coming to you with a problem, and being able to help them resolve it.”

Flythe is running on a platform of experience, community service and a rapport with the ti-county area to include Richmond, Burke

and Columbia counties. “I’ve received calls from people

who were clients 10 years ago, and they asked how they could help with the campaign,” Flythe said. “You really don’t know if a client appreciated or approved of your service, so when they call and want to help, it’s very hum-bling.”

Flythe, 43, and his Mandy, have two children: Hailey, 14, and Andrew, 11. For more information on Flythe’s campaign, visit www.electjohnf lythe.com.

— Ken Makin

AUGUSTAEvita Paschall, a candidate for

the Superior Court seat vacated by Judge Carlisle Overstreet, has a strong motivating desire behind her campaign.

It’s a desire for diversity – the need for more women and African-Americans in positions of jurisdic-tion.

“Women and African-Americans are underrepresented in the Superior Court judgeships,” Paschall said. “There are eight full-time Superior Court judges and three part-time Superior Court judges. (Of those 11), there is one woman and one African-American. Our population doesn’t match

that.”On Tuesday, May 24, she will

face off against John Flythe in an election that will decide who will join the Augusta Judicial Circuit as a Superior Court judge. Paschall says her sense of compassion and fairness make her a unique candi-date.

“Why is it important for the court to reflect the population? Because the ruling reflects the experiences of the person (presiding),” Paschall said. “It’s not to say that that some-one who isn’t female or African-American won’t rule properly or will rule unjustly, it’s just the idea of making sure people are represent-ed.”

Paschall’s platform focuses on judi-cial diversity, fairness, as well as jus-

tice “you know and trust.” She says it is incumbent that people come out and vote in such an important election.

“Now is the time to make a decision about the type of judge that you want,” she said. “We don’t feel (what happens in the court system) when it’s not our relative, but when it’s our son, daughter, brother, sister, then it resonates. But at that time, it’s too late.”

Paschall, 64, and her husband, Felix, have three children. For more information on Paschall’s cam-paign, visit www.votepaschall2016.com.

Voting means inclusion. For this reason, the voter who votes is the most inclusive club in America. Moreover, the right to vote cannot be purchased for any price. That’s why voting is the great American equalizer. Every eligible citizen has one vote. Bill Gates, net worth $75 billion, has one vote. Warren Buffett, net worth $60.8 billion, has one vote. Mark Zuckerberg, net worth

$44.6 billion, has one vote. Oprah Winfrey, net worth $2.9 billion, has one vote. Michael Jordan, net worth $1 billion, has one vote. Eighteen year old fast food worker, zero net worth, has one vote.

Therefore, instead of whining about the inclusion that should exist, celebrate the inclusion that does exist. Vote!

MAKIN’ A DIFFERENCE COMMENTARY by Ken Makin

The truest definition of “unbought and unbossed”UNFETTERED: A YOUNG BROTHA’S POLITICAL ENDORSEMENTS

There are people who say they don’t like the political season – all of the tv and radio adver-tisements, the people constantly at your door, all of the folks leaving flyers on your car.

Well, I LOVE political season. I love having conversations with incumbents and candidates. I enjoy researching important issues and com-munity concerns.

Truth is, a lot of people have this type of love for politics. They just don’t always have the VOICE and FREEDOM to express themselves. I’m glad to say that this is no longer the case for yours truly.

I like the word “unfettered.” I first heard it to describe Wakanda, the fictional land of Marvel Comics fame, which is presided over by Black Panther. It is mentioned in the comics as a self-sufficient, Africa-based country “unfettered by Western civilization.”

With the endorsements I am about to pres-ent, I am proud to say that my comments are unfettered by political influences – financial, social or otherwise. These are convictions established through results and research – not by tradition, but by my truth:

STATE COURT JUDGEWithout a doubt, this is the most intriguing local

race. There are three worthy candidates in Kellie Kenner McIntyre, Monique Walker and Bo Hunter.

Hunter has the most experience of the group. Walker’s surname and influence are imposing in terms of campaigning. With that said, my choice for State Court Judge is KELLIE KENNER MCINTYRE.

She has all of the attributes necessary to complete the task at hand – she has a familiarity with the position through her work as Solicitor General. She has an understanding and desire to provide alter-native sentencing. Finally, she feels so strongly in her conviction that she is willing to risk her position as Solicitor General to make a difference as State Court Judge.

AUGUSTA COMMISSIONThere are three races up for grabs on the

Commission – Districts 1, 5 and 9.My choice for District 5 is ANDREW JEFFERSON.

Kelby Walker is a voice for the future. Andrew Jefferson is the voice for right now. The endorse-ment and support of Commissioner Bill Lockett also bodes well for Jefferson.

Districts 1 and 9 are open to interpretation, as there are various community concerns. In District 1, if you are satisfied with the steady progress in terms of flood prevention and community aware-ness, your choice is incumbent BILL FENNOY. The incumbent is also your choice if you have

MY PRIORITIES FOR DISTRICT 5 WILL BE TO SUPPORTECONOMIC GROWTH • SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS

OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH-WAGE JOBS

JEFFERSON

concerns about the racial balance on the Commission.

If you are not satisfied with the leadership in District 1, your choice is MICHAEL THURMAN. He is an established businessman with years of experience and brings innova-tive ideas to the position. Denice Traina is an intriguing candidate with Bernie Sanders-like appeal, but is better suited to the grassroots movement in Augusta.

In District 9, while I have an idea of how this race will go, I understand there is a faction of the community that wants change. MARION WILLIAMS can reach his constituency in a way that I don’t see with anyone else on the Commission. It’s also worth men-tioning that Williams’ personality causes friction on the Commission at times, which leaves the door open for RONNIE BATTLE. If con-flict on the Commission doesn’t bother you, Williams is your choice. If you believe a fresh face on the Commission is needed, then Battle is your man.

MARSHALAs soon as RAMONE LAMKIN

announced that he would run for

the Marshal’s Office, he had my vote. I heard Lamkin speak candid-ly at a NAACP event that focused on the relationship between law enforcement and the communi-ty. He maintains the integrity of law enforcement while having a heart for the community. I believe Lamkin’s spirit transcends Marshal Steve Smith’s experience.

HOUSE DISTRICTS 124 AND 125In the House District 124 and

125 races, my endorsement goes to the incumbents. In House District 124, WAYNE HOWARD has been a consistent voice in the community for years. While I look forward to hearing more of Greg Hill’s innova-tive ideas, it is clear that Howard’s vision and ability to work with his constituency and colleagues are important for the city and county’s development.

In District 125, EARNEST SMITH’s resume and accomplish-ments speak for themselves. Sheila Clark Nelson is presenting herself as a “new voice” in the district, but the voice that currently resides and resounds in the district con-tains a clear economic path for

the future.SUPERIOR COURT JUDGEIn the race between Evita Paschall

and John Flythe, my endorsement goes to EVITA PASCHALL – after an extensive series of research and dialogue. The difference, quite frankly, is diversity. Paschall is not only qualified, she has campaigned with an understanding of what her election would mean to a predom-inately African-American commu-nity.

In the race between incumbent judge Carl Brown and Christopher Nicholson, my endorsement goes to CARL BROWN. Nicholson’s push for judicial reform is necessary, but should come under the leadership and experiences that Judge Brown provides.
