Past Tense: WWII Naval Air Station Atlanta
The land now known as DeKalb-Peachtree Airport was the World War I encampment Camp Gordon from 1917 to 1921. DeKalb County signed an option for 300 acres of former Camp Gordon land in 1935. In 1939, with the assistance of the Works Progress Administration, the county began construction of grass runways. The Navy chose this site to build a naval aviation reserve base.

High Performance Composites
Post Cure: Aramid Fiber Technology Creates Golf Shafts With High Power, Absolute Control
Kevlar EXO, a next‑generation aramid fiber developed through DuPont Kevlar (Richmond, Pa., U.S.) and owned by Arclin (Alpharetta, Ga., U.S.), is bringing high performance to carbon fiber golf shafts through a collaboration with Kinetixx (San Clement, Calif., U.S.), whose ultra-premium golf shafts have previously used Kevlar and carbon fiber. Kevlar EXO’s combination of high strength, increased elongation and controlled flexibility allows shafts to better absorb, control and return energy during the swing, improving stability, feel and durability versus traditional carbon fiber‑only designs.

Latin Festival celebrates decade of culture, community
CONYERS — Ten years ago, Unidos Latino Association began with a mission to advocate, educate, empower and connect. This weekend, the Conyers-based nonprofit will celebrate how that mission and the festival created to share Latino culture with the broader community have grown over the past decade. The 2026 Conyers Latin Festival will take over the streets of Olde Town Conyers Sunday, Oct. 4, from noon to 6 p.m., celebrating Latino culture, traditions, music, food, and community. This year’s theme, “10 Years. One Community. One Dream,” reflects a milestone for both the festival and the organization behind it. Unidos Latino Association was established in Conyers in August 2016 by co-founders Delicia Durant and Rebeca Gibbons. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit works primarily with Latino youth and adults in Rockdale and Newton counties, helping connect residents with resources while providing culturally and linguistically appropriate support. Its mission is summarized in four words: “Advocate, Educate, Empower and Connect.” Just months after its founding, the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners formally recognized Unidos Latino Association with a proclamation on Dec. 13, 2016. The city of Conyers later recognized the organization with proclamations in 2021 and 2024 for engaging the community in celebrating Hispanic American contributions through

Chung finished at 5-under-par 211 and added the 2026 title to his 2024 victory. He entered the final round with a three-shot advantage after rounds of 1-under-par 71 and 4-under-par 68. Playing alongside PGA head professional Todd Sapere of Ohoopee Match Club and PGA head professional Dylan Malafronte of Frederica Golf Club, who both began the day at 2-under-par, Chung closed with an even-par final round to secure the championship. “It feels great,” Chung said. “Playing with the lead was not easy out there. I hit it into some spots that I shouldn’t have and kind of made it hard on myself, but I was happy that I made some putts.” Sapere remained Chung’s closest challenger, finishing the championship at 2-under-par, while Malafronte finished at 2 over par. For Chung, the victory marks a return to the top of the Georgia PGA Championship leaderboard just two years after capturing his first title in 2024 at Sea Island Golf Club’s Retreat Course, where he finished at 10 under par.
