. . . School budget mulled (Continued from page 1A) He added that he will go along with funding the outlying areas. In an attempt to answer some of the many questions, Commissioner Hunt agreed to meet with all the fire chiefs in the county to try and find a way to cut the proposed number of first responders and thereby, the costs of insurance. Hunt promised program representative Bobby Strother a decision at the next meeting. Commissioners also heard from County Extension Agent Willie Featherstone about a program under which the state will provide funds to hire a "Family Education Aide" to the extension staff for two years. At the end of the two year period, the extension service will evaluate the position and make recommendations as to whether it should be continued, Featherstone said. If the aide is kept after the initial period, his salary will be paid by the county. Commissioners voted to allow an aide to be hired for the proba tionary period. Featherstone said that Cumberland and Robeson counties have enlisted in the program already and are satisfied with the results to this point. The board also heard a letter from County Supervisor Loyd A. Robinson concerning property taxes due from county residents who have Farmers Home Ad ministration (FHA) loans. FHA will pay the delinquent taxes on behalf of the government for borrowers, the letter said, but not as a convenience to the bor rowers. If the borrowers do not pay, their loans will be foreclosed on, the letter said. The commissioners voted to let a field tax collector call on the defaulting borrowers and try to collect what is due the city and county before foreclosure pro ceedings are started. It costs the county about S400 to begin the foreclosure process. Commissioners also voted to change the bi-laws of the Hoke County Emergency Service Ad visory Council to say that there can be seven members on that council instead of five. The council wants participation from fire and law enforcement representatives, Commissioner Cleo Bratcher said. In the Monday night meeting, the commissioners also took action on these matters: ?Approved two grant applica tions by the Hoke County Youth Services Task Force. ?Set June 18 at 7:30 p.m. as the date for a public hearing on the 1984-85 county budget. ?Granted an easement to Carolina Power & Light to place a number of poles on county proper ty behind the old National Guard Armory. . . . Thacker released on bond (Continued from page 1A) When asked if he believed Thacker would show up for future court appearances, City Coun cilman Gentry said: "He'll be there." It has not been determined if his client will fight extradition to Florida, attorney Randy Gregory told the court. A hearing on the matter would probably not be held for 30 to 60 days, Gregory said. Gregory told the court he believ ed the Florida requested bond was excessive, and that if Thacker was going to avoid prosecution, he would do so as quick for $500,000 as he would for $250,000. "If he is not going to show up for $250,000, he's not going to show up for $500,000," Gregory said. Gregory argued that drug cases were common in Cumberland County and that bond rarely ap proaches the $500,000 mark. "We've never seen this amount of cocaine in Cumberland County," Dickson countered in his argument against the bond reduc tion. Although Dickson attempted to have Thacker grounded from fly ing until his case is decided, Johnson noted that he would not deprive the jump school operator of his livelihood. At the time of his release, Thacker had been in jail for nine days. ... Sandhills branch faces obstacles (Continued from page 1A) ?The electrical system will have to be totally replaced. ?There is a lack of "reasonable" exit ways. The bank also suffers from a lack of parking and poor access from main roads, the report says. The report did say that the bank had many positive aspects to con sider: ?It is an attractive old building the looks of which would be very conducive to a college. ?The exterior of the building is brick and may have some value as an historical structure. ?The ceilings are high and would be ideal for lowering to ac commodate new lighting and new heating and air conditioning ducts. ?Handicapped accessability from the street is good. ?Some of the water piping is in good shape. ?The boiler in the building is relatively new and still has a lot of use in it. In a letter to Martin, Stone said that the staff of Sandhills had chosen the armory as the better site for the college; however, the ar chitects' report shows that it too has some flaws. ?The plumbing system is not adequate for educational pur poses. There is only a single men's room and shower. ?The water piping will have to be replaced. ?Heating and cooling systems will have to be installed as the old system is old and worn out. ?The electrical system will have to be totally reworked and most of it replaced. Sandhills officials seem to think that the armory is more easily ac cessible than the bank, according to the letter from Stone. The letter also says that parking at the armory is far better than that at the old Bank of Raeford.
