Jail ierrn ? ""is given for lhreats By Ed Miller A Raeford man spent Friday night in jail after he was found guilty communicating threats. Randall Steven Ballard, 19, had a warrant issued for his arrest on August 5 on the charge. Ballard told Fredrick A. Roberts that he was going to "get everyone when they went to sleep," court records say. District Court Judge Warren Pate sentenced the man to 24 hours in the Hoke County Jail. In other court matters, a Shan non man, who had been in jail almost a week since his arrest, went home Friday because the time he had already served was suffi cient as his sentence. William Thomas Hullett was ar rested September 8 and charged with being drunk and disruptive in a public place and put in jail, records say. On the citation issued to Hullett, he was charged with interferring with and blocking traffic on Main Street in Raeford. Judge Pate decided that Hullett had served enough time and let the 23-year-old man go. Karl Locklear, of Maxton, made an appearance in court last Friday charged with attempting to manufacture marijuana. Locklear was growing the Illegal herbs in buckets around his house, records say. After being found guilty, Locklear was sentenced to no less than 12 and no more than 18 months in jail suspended for two years supervised probation. He was also ordered to pay $500 in fines to the Sheriffs Drug Fund. Dennis Ronald Hammonds was also in court Friday charged with manufacturing marijuana. Hammonds was found to be guilty of growing plants behind a chicken coop near his house. He plead guilty to the charge. Hammonds, 27, was also sentenced to no less than 12 and no more than 18 months in jail suspended for two years supervised probation and $500 to the drug fund, records say. Norman Smith appeared in court last week charged with disposing of mortgaged personal property. According to records, Smith sold a tape deck, bought apparent ly on credit from Heilig-Meyers, before it was paid for. Smith was sentenced to 90 days suspended for one year unsupervis ed probation and ordered to pay $138.19 to Heilig-Meyers as restitution, records say. Junes Alton Singletary, charged with uuuh with a deadly weapon, was sentenced to 30 days suspend ed for a $50 floe, records say. He was charged with striking Mary H. White about the head with a claw hammer, records say. Mary H. White, of Lumber Bridge, was also in court charged with hitting James A. Singlctary with a four-foot piece of lumber. She also got 30 days suspended for a $50 fine. Jonathan Ray, of Raeford, received a $25 fine for his August 4 arrest for possession of marijuana, records say. Randall Steven Ballard, in a separate case, was fined $50 for possession of marijuana. Larry Chavis, 24, of Red Springs, was given a suspended sentence and made to pay $140 restitution to Mary Ann Tyler for damaging her trailer. Rex Clifton Erwin, of Fort Bragg, made an appearance in court charged with driving while impaired (DWI). According to records, Erwin received 60 days suspended for one year unsupervised probation and a $100 fine. Alton Lee Goodwin, of Raeford, was also in court on DWI charges. Arrested June 10, Goodwin got 90 days suspended for one year supervised probation and a $200 fine, according to records. Creolaer Wiggins, of Raeford, was in court charged with DWI. For her July 29 violation, she was given a six month suspended sentence, two years unsupervised probation and a $200 fine, records say. Wagram's Gregory McMillan faced DWI charges last week and received one year unsupervised probation and a $100 fine, say records. A case of driving with his license revoked has gotten a Raeford man no more or less than two years in jail. Leonard Harris has paid a $500 bond and appealed his case to superior court, records say. Stanley Underwood, of Fayet teville, appeared in court last Fri day charged with driving without a license. He received 90 days suspended for one year unsupervised proba tion and a $150 fine for the viola tion. Underwood was ordered not to drive until licensed to do so, records say. . . . School roofing ahead of schedule (Continued from page 1) other means such as ABC funds and timber sales from Ft. Bragg may be explored, Nelson said. In other State School Board business, local board members Walter Coley, Bobby Wright and Ruth McNair were selected to at tend the State School Board Con ference this year. Photo fees hiked At the request of elementary principals in the county, the School Board voted to raise the sit ting fees for school pictures from $2 to $3. According to Steed, each child has his picture made with the understanding that they have an option to buy the prints. If student; do buy photographs, there is no problem, Steed said, but, if a student decides not to buy pictures, the school takes a $1 loss for each non-buyer, because the picture company charges S3 as a sitting fee. The raise in sitting fees from the schools will allow the schools to break even if students do not buy photographs. Vending policy changed In another matter, the board passed a new vending machine policy for county schools. A law recently passed by the State Legislature requires that a "legal accounting" of the money be kept by the system, said Nelson. The policy says that all money collected from local schools' ven ding machines be turned in to the Board of Education for accoun ting. A separate line item must be created in the budget for the money, says the policy. The money will not be lost by the schools-, said Steed.

Debbie Dean Brewer, a Hoke County resident, will soon be attending training school for her new job. Brewer, 29, is shown here being sworn in by Hoke County Clerk of Courts Juanita Edmund. . . .Wreck purchased (Continued from page 1) said, noting that it had just been started again this week. Also salvageable from the wreck is the transmission, the public ad dress system, a respirator, front and rear air conditioners, a storage cabinet and numerous parts, Niven said. According to the Director, the ? engine only has 13,000 miles on it and can be used to replace the engine of an existing ambulance should the need arise. The insurance company is selling the wreck for $2,500, Niven said. Bid approved In another matter, commis sioners voted to accept a bid from Nationwide Insurance Company to cover county property. A $13,012 bid was received by the county from Nationwide's agent Vardell Hedgpeth. The Johnson Company, who represents U.S. Fidelity and Guaranty Comapany, submitted a bid of $26,215. There was some discussion on the amounts of the bids, but the - commissioners chose the lower - price because Nationwide is presently covering the county. Health funds accepted The commissioners also ac cepted additional state funding for the Hoke County Health Depart ment. The $750 is to be used in the area of Family Planning at the Health Department. Another state funded program was also accepted by the commis sion for the Health Department. This funding, in the amount of $14,825, is to support an ongoing program to upgrade the county's prenatal care project, said a letter to the commissioners from former Health Director Lloyd Home. DSS space OK 'd Department of Social Services (DSS) Director Ken Witherspoon received approval for the use of half of the Driver's License Building in order to have a space to house the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program. In the past, there have been serious disruptions in the normal operations of the DSS Building when application time rolls around, he said. The extra space will be used to take applications for the program beginning October 1 , Witherspoon said. According to the director, about 1 ,200 to 1 ,400 applications will be received between October 1 and November 30. The new location will be equip ped with a computer that will allow applications to be researched without having to have access to files at the main building. The commission passed a mo tion allowing DSS to use half of the building for the two months needed. Vehicle policy eyed In other action, the commission decided that one of the first things a new County Manager should do, when hired, is draw up a recom mendation for a vehicle policy for county employees. As an interim measure until that -? time,- county employees will be allowed to drive county vehicles home within the county if they are to be used on county business. The request for the move came from Hoke Emergency Services Director Bill Niven. In other matters, commissioners took the following action: ?Appointed Evelyn Quick to the Raeford Housing Authority. ?Appointed Tim Caldwell and George F. Maynor to the Recrea tion Board. ?Passed a petition to send an application for an addition to the state road system to the State Department of Transportation. McLean Road is one mile in length and is located in the Lumber Bridge area of the county. ?Passed a motion to pay $1,612 in legal fees. ?Received a jail inspection report for information. The state continued to find fault with the type of bedding being provided by the county and with the food being served. The medical clinic area is also needed the report says. . . . Job offer rejected (Continued from page 1) ing for a benefit that Balfour was uncertain whether former manager James Martin was getting. "We're looking into that benefit, and if we find that Martin was getting it, 1 think we can go ahead and hire a man," Upchurch said Wednesday morning. During the Tuesday night meeting, the commission went into executive session after the number one candidate turned down the of fer. "We're going to interview some, more candidates," Upchurch said.* Before 10 p.m., the commis sioners adjourned. The meeting Tuesday night was an extension of Monday's regular mid-monthly meeting. Earlier the commissioners said they had narrowed the search to fill the position vacated by Martin on September 1 to three can didates. All three of the candidates were interviewed earlier. Monday's offer apparently stemmed from a session held last Saturday with a prospective manager candidate. The commissioners are not say ing if the person interviewed Satur day was one of the earlier pros-i pects. Some of the commissioners had said that they hoped to attract a candidate from a smaller county, or a "number two" person from a larger county. Until a replacement for Martin is found, the commissioners are holding down the duties of county manager and are meeting with department heads on an as needed basis. ' Pig Picking' scheduled forEdmisten visit here Democratic Gubernatorial can didate Ruftts Edmisten will be in Raeford on October 2 for a cam paign stop. Edmisten will be the honored guest at a fund raising "Pig Pick ing" held at the home ot state Rep. and Mrs. Daniel H. DtVane on Pinewood Circle. Tickets are on sale at $30 per person to raise campaign funds for Edmisten.
