Son Of A I by Joe Lanier ^ A few days ago I went to the bank, drew out a few hundred dollars for a four day trip to Atlanta. Georgia. looked over some new equip ment I might buy for my engraving busines, also picked up some new ideas from the company, and took in the sights. I spent most ot that money I had saved. A few days before that County Commissioners Calvin Turner. D.J. Fussell and County Accountant Russell Tucker went to the county tax treasurer, drew several hundred dollars out. and went to Louisville, Kentucky to the national county com missioners convention. They attended a few lectures and took in the sights. The com missioners took their wives along, paying their way from their savings. All-in-all. they spent around SI.300 in tax moneys. During the three years Commissioner Turner has been in office, he has not missed a one of these joy junkets. First year it was Utah or Kansas, the next year it was Las Vegas, and this year Kentucky. There arc state conventions each year as well. They are attended at tax-payer ex pense as well. ***** Word is out that another wants to seek the job as sheriff. Several sources re port George Garner of War saw is going to enter the race next year. Garner teaches law training course at James Sprunt. He married John Ed Dail's daughter of Kenans ville. A year or so ago. David Undcrhill stated he was seek ing the job. Underhill is the sanitary landfill supervisor and lives in the northern part of Duplin. . .It appears the sheriffs race may get ex pensive next May. . . ***** I patted the commissioners on the back too soon. . .They have weakened and fallen. . .The bailiffs car is to be returned. . .Stretching the j ?<- . policy in their imaginations, they have decided he is covered. . .now. Wallace Commissioner Franklin Williams moved the action be taken. The bailiff spends 90 percent or more of his time in the Courthouse attending the wishes of the court. His car was returned so on those days he is not in court. 10% or less of his time, he is to serve papers. . .However, he is to do no night work. . .Said he would not do night work if he was given two cars, according to Commissioner Nethercutt. . who. by the way, was the only one to stick to the policy and vote against returning the car. . .It would seem to me the full-time bailiff could come into the sheriff's office on no-court days, be issued a car. and for eight hours serve papers. At the end of eight hours, park the car. return home by way of his private vehicle like the rest of the county employees. . .1 don't know why the commissioners bother to set any policy. They turn right around and break it themselves within the next few weeks. They seem to be trying so hard to win the next election ? trying to please everyone ? they forget the oath they were sworn in under. Most seem to be the happiest when they can table an item and take no action. ***** It has been the policy in the past to pay landfill em ployees time-and-a-half for working on Saturday. This policy was changed recently and the only way Saturday would be a time-and-a-half pay period was if 40 hours had been reached. . .80 hours in a two-week pay period. . .If the employee had put in 40 hours by Saturday, then Saturday would be overtime. In the past, if Saturday was the only day worked, it would be time-and-a-half pay for that day. There is no doubt garbage and trash needs to be picked up on Saturday ? -art of the da; , anyway. Those working Saturday should be paid time-and-a half. but. in ray opinion, only if they already have worked 40hours.. .If they have been on vacation, sick leave, or just laid out. Saturday is not a time-and-a-half day. If it is. it should also apply to all county employees. . .With Duplin's changee. changee commissioners, next month at this time it may be double time for just showing up. . . They got his goat. . .Yep, they got Jack's goat. .4 few weeks back. Rose Hill police got a call. . ."There is a goat on my front porch eating my flowers. . .All my pretty flowers.". . .When the police arrived, sure enough there was a goat on the lady's front porch eating the greenery, the flowers and all. After a short tussle, the police ar rested the goat. .Well, it was not a dog for the dog pound.. not a person for the jail. Several attempts were made to find the owner.. .no luck.. Someone said. 1 know a fellow who would like to have this goat. . .he likes goat barbecue. . .A few days later Jack showed up looking for his goat. . .The policeman said, licking his Fingers. . What goat?. . Oh. that goat. . ,We ate him. . .Yep. they got Jack's goat alright. . . t! -v really got his goat and then his goat because they got his B->at and ate it. . Son-of-a-Gun...
