Commissioners pave way for industrial park By Harrison Keely EDITOR
Clay County commissioners approved the lowest of nine bidders to begin project work at the planned industrial park June 5 during the commissioners meeting at the courthouse. However, the $294,105.30 bid from Ledford & Parker still needed approval from the North Carolina Department of Transportation County Manager Paul Leek said. Leek said that the commissioners had received a letter from McGill Associates recommending that the county award the project to Ledford & Parker. The project focuses on grading and paving a road through the park that would connect to the Georgia/North Carolina state line.

would also include erosion, sedimentation and storm water control. The bid request would be turned over to the state June 6, Leek said at the meeting. Commission Chairman Herbert "Hub" Cheeks stated that the county had experienced problems getting approval from Raleigh in the past to proceed on projects. Leek asked for authority over the issue from commissioners after approval from DOT. The county will have extra funds left over from the grant, Cheeks said, asking if it would be feasible to use the surplus on additional projects like water and sewer lines. Leek said he would talk to North Carolina Senator John Snow about the issue, as Snow worked to assure the grant for the county. Cheeks said that $65,000 was still available for the county. Commissioners denied a request from court service Mountain Mediation to provide employees with keys to the court-

One inspection was delaying the move to the new county detention center, Sheriff Joe Shook said at the June 5 Clay County commissioners meeting. He said that inspectors so far, however, had been impressed with the technology. The new jail's kitchen will be completed by July 1, County Manager Paul Leek said. He noted that the Department of Transportation building had already been completed and that PRYLQJ LQ ZRXOG RFFXU WKLV ZHHN DV ÀQDO LQVSHFWLRQ KDV EHHQ made. Leek said that foundation pouring for the new sheriff's building would be starting this week as well. Commission Chairman Herbert "Hub" Cheeks said that the county's stake park was still being worked out, but that there was no news at the time. "The skate park hasn't been forgotten," Leek said. Cheeks said that because they were not tax exempt, the county only saved some money. Sandy Zimmerman, spokesman for Representative Heath Shuler, said that she visited the open house of the new county jail and delivered a letter from Shuler. She said that Shuler also wrote a letter to the county commissioners.

WITH HONOR: Honor graduate Devin Tant smiles at the crowd while Associate Superintendent Carol Arnold reads his name. Only Kindy achieved all eight categories, a feat rarely displayed for an HHS graduate. "Unless you leave as a good citizen, we have failed," Penland said. "We really think tonight we are graduating 85 good citizens. And that we're proud of." Penland said that the HHS faculty elect one student who has made the most positive contribution to the school. Andrew McClure won the Class of 2008 Outstanding Citizen award, "one of the highest awards given at
Hayesvile High School." Challenging graduates, Penland said: "I hope that you have learned that giving and forgiving are more important than taking and avenging.... Don't give up when you still have something to give. Don't use time or words carelessly, remember neither can be retrieved." He, like Morgan in his speech, ended with a quote from poet Ralph Waldo Emmerson. Penland and Rogers both awarded the diplomas to students before the

Saddle Up To the Editor: “Saddle Up for St. Jude� held on Saturday, April 26, 2008 at Standing Indian Campground was a huge success. There were at least 37 riders who showed up with their horses and rode the Hurricane Loop for the annual fundraiser for St. Jude Hospital for Children located in Memphis, TN. No child is turned away from this children’s cancer research hospital. All the care required for every child at St. Jude’s is fully covered and the National Saddle Up for St. Jude Ride is one of the largest fundraisers for the hospital. The Tri-County Equine Association sponsors this ride each year. We solicit donations and then meet on a specified date and location to ride our trusty beloved horses for the sake of St. Jude’s. After the ride, a picnic lunch and raffle of gifts from our sponsors is shared with everyone there. Besides the members of the horse club, members of the Mountaineer riders headed up by Robert Mull, the County Mounties lead by Lawrence Beal, and many other interested horse folks participated. We want to thank you all! The committee who put this ride together worked hard for many weeks. They include Barbara Kissling, Paula Wilde, Esther Brunson, Debbie Jerrell, Jenny Ingmire and myself. Thanks girls for your time and energy. –Susan Martin, 2008 Coordinator for “Saddle Up for St. Jude�
