Sheriff Continued From Page 1-A * Under the “Call to Protect” pro gram, businesses and individuals can donate their phones to the Wireless Foundation, the ph ilantrophic arm of the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association. The phones will be refurbished and reprogrammed to dial 911 and one non-emergency number, and will be distributed to domestic violence victims and shelters in October, which is Do mestic Violence Awareness Month. “ Stopping domestic violence can be a rpatter of life and death, and if even one abuse victim useas a wire less phone to call for help, this ef fort is worthwhile,” said Basnight. Seventy-seven sheriffs will aliow their offices to serve as collection points for phone donations. Donors who leave their names and ad dresses with their phones will be mailed tax receipts for their dona tion. “If anyone is willing to donate phones, we’ll be more than happy to accept them,” Spruill said. Several sheriffs and Mary Beth Loucks-Sorrell from The North Carolina Coalition Against Domes tic Violence joined Basnight for the announcement.Sprint PCS helped kick off the program by donating 25 cellular phone. AT&T has also pledged to donate 50 phones to the program. “Domestic violence hurts its di rect victims, it hurts families, and it hurts our communities,” Basnight said. “Putting phones in the hands of those who need help and a sense of security is the right thing to do. I hope everyone who has an old wireless phone will put it to good use and donate it to this very good cause.” “Call to Protect” was created by the Wireless Foundation and the National Coalition Against Domes tic Violence with a goal of collect ing one million wireless phones nationwide.

This is how we phased out our contribu tion to the 911 center.” Knighton said that in fiscal . year 1999-2000, the town's contri bution to the Recreation Depart ment was about $120,000. Her pro posal would reduce the town’s taxpayer-funded contribution in fiscal year 2000-2001 to $90,000; in fiscal year 2001-2002, to $60,000; in fiscal year 2002-2003, to $30,000; in fiscal year 2003-2004, to zero dollars. She noted that the proposed fourcen t tax increase is expected to generate about $93,600. "Savings recognized in the Rec reation Department equate to $30,000,” Knighton said. “So we will have $123,600 in additional revenue. Our planned transfer reduction will cost $46,800 and the reduction of the fund balance will cost $74,100. To reduce the transfer and reduce our fund bal ance will cost $121,000. So you can see where the revenue from the tax increase and the Recre ation Department savings will go.” Subscribe to the Herald...call 482-4418 for Salesperson ... exist for someone immediately available. 11 year old company in the home building products industry. $35,000 per year with the two year potential of $35,000- *60,000.
