Stories The Moultrie Observer is working on for its Sunday edition:

• The great-grandson of aviation legend B.D. Maule makes his first solo flight — before he can legally drive.

• Southwest Georgia Bank will have to make do without a vice president for a while. Paul Bell is joining the ranks of local people who have been called away to war as part of the National Guard.

• At least two significant events are planned for Tuesday. The University of Georgia will hold a public hearing on the results of its study of housing issues in Moultrie, and the American Heart Association will present the county's first "Go Red for Women" luncheon, a chance for women to learn more about heart disease risks and how to avoid them.
