Alexander Reshetnichenko
A $5,000 reward is being offered to anyone who can reunite a stolen violin that has been missing for months with its owner, Alexander Reshetnichenko, from Lee County, Georgia, USA.
The violin - made in 1920 - originally went missing in July, when Reshetnichenko returned home to find that it was gone.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said there was no indication that a burglary happened and that the violin was the only thing taken.
Investigator Sgt. Chris Allen said they have made many calls to instrument dealers to find the missing violin. But it has now been roughly five months with no suspects, no arrests and no violin.
ALBANY â For Elizabeth Faircloth, the recent recognition of her work as a teacher was something she neither sought nor expected. But when her name was called, she was overcome with emotion.
âEverything I do, I do for my students,â Faircloth said, shortly after being honored by Sonnyâs BBQ for her work both in and out of her classroom. âItâs always been about them. I never asked for recognition. I just want them to have what they need to be successful.â
Faircloth, who was the recipient of the restaurant chainâs Random Acts of BBQ, is an Exceptional Students Program teacher at Dougherty Comprehensive High School. She has a reputation around the school for having a big heart and a soft spot for her students.
ALBANY â For the second year in a row, Georgia-Pacific Lumber contributed $50,000 to Albany organizations. Georgia-Pacific delivered $10,000 checks to the Dougherty County School Systemâs Commodore Conyers College and Career Academy (4C Academy), Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful, Habitat for Humanity, the Dougherty County School System, and the city of Albanyâs Fire Department this week.
The 4C Academy will use the contribution to enhance its robotics and metatronics pathways, while the Dougherty County School System has committed to allocate much of the money it received to REACH. The REACH Georgia Scholarship Program supports low-income students to help them prepare for college and then navigate the college process.
DCSS to delay January return to school
DCSS to delay January return to school By WALB News Team | December 16, 2020 at 10:17 AM EST - Updated December 16 at 7:17 PM
ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - The Dougherty County School System will push back its January return to school by a week, according to the school district.
Based on a recommendation from Superintendent Kenneth Dyer, students will return on Jan. 11. Students were originally slated to come back on Jan. 5. School district employees will start the year working remotely on Jan. 4 and will return in-person on Jan. 7.
“Our student’s first day of school was supposed to be January 5th. We are delaying that to January 11th. And the reason is that will provide us more time to monitor any possible symptoms that result from the holidays,” said Superintendent Kenneth Dyer.
