SON OF A GUN ? by Joe Lanier , Sometimes you look at a thing but don't see it. It was brought to my attention a few weeks ago that county sheriffs deputies, highway patrolmen and town police cars park on the sidewalk in front of the Sheriff s Department when there are dozens of parking places only a few steps away. Pedestrians have to walk into the road or over by the building to get by because an item that is supposed to be in the road is on the sidewalk, which is supposed to be for those walking. As we discussed the reasons, we came uo with a few ? and they are: . . .Too lazy to walk across the street, . .Felt they were too important to obey rules set for the general public. . .Car has no backing gear. . . Had a prisoner and someone else already had parked in the driveway to the sallyport. . . .(The sallyport, by the way, is an area designed for discharging prisoners from an auto into the jail. It is enclosed so they will not have the chance to run away. . .However, the one at the Duplin Sheriffs Department is usually used just for a parking area). . .And finally, they just don't know better. . .Now, I must admit 1 haven't asked any of those who park on the grass and sidewalk why they do it, so there may be other reasons, some even valid. . But, it stlre does not give a good appearance for those who are supposed to be upholding the law for us. Speaking of appearances. . .Some folks over in Chinquapin tell me the counlv ambulance is used reeularlv for trios to a snack bar to transport food back to the place where volunteers are studying to be EMTs. It is the county ambulance from Kcnansville and not the one stationed at 'Chinquapin. . .With the county equipment being misused, it makes one wonder about what is being taught in those classes. . .By the way, those in charge of the classes are being paid with tax dollars.. .The volunteers have to put in many an hour of study and training to give their time to the people of Duplin County. . .It just doesn't seem the proper thing to do for a county employee to show such disregard for county equipment. . .1 would hope those taking the EMT courses are told the value and importance of these vehicles. . .Not to use them at their discretion. . . ***** Do you remember the "Goat Man?". . .1 suppose the super highways and the meanness along those highways finally caused the old fellow to fade into Never-Never Land. . .As a youngster, it was a treat to hear the Goat Man was coming. This fellow wandered about the country with several goats, pulling a cart with all his belongings on it, and every two or three years he would come through Duplin County. It was said you could smell him before you saw him. He had tales of wonderment to a young child.. .1 now see his tales were made up, but thev were goggle-eyed, mouth-dropping at the time... ***** t "It ain't over till the fat lady sings.". . .After the recent tornado, some people in Sampson County were out observing the damages to their farm. . .Several of the livestock animals were killed. . .All the goats but two were killed. . .An old truck had been rolled over several times by the winds, but landed back on its wheels. . .As they stood there looking over the situation the next day and thinking. I guess, it could have been worse, the truck just cranked itself up with no one near it.. .But, it cranked up and ran over killing the two goats left by the storm. . .Son-of-a-Gun. .. .
