Voters reject wheel tax referendum

Fewer than 2,500 Haywood County voters turned out for the elections held here Thursday, August 7.

Major importance to the voters was the wheel tax referendum that proposed a $20 increase to the present $10 wheel tax.

Voters took a dim view of this increase and voted against it 1,581 to 669.

A decision is expected in three to four weeks.

So long summer, school opens Friday

About 4,200 Haywood County students will begin the 1990-91 academic year, Friday, August 17, in the county’s six schools. According to School Superintendent W.W. Cox, the county will operate 44 school buses, seven of which are diesel and will employ 250 teachers, an increase of fi ve over last year.

The county board of education has doubled

the 3- and 4-year old program to six classes this year, four at Haywood Elementary and two at East Side. Dr. Susan Scott will direct a Basic Adult Education curriculum, the newest addition to the system.

“Cloud” of smoke leads to arrest

Brownsville Police responding to a traffi c-related call Sunday night arrested fi ve people, four of them on drug-related charges. The initial complaint was that cars were blocking the street and sidewalk at 827 South Hatchie. When police answered the call, they found marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the house.

Offi cer Jim Warren said an investigation led to the arrest of Jerry Williams Jr., 23; Tim Allen Langley, 24; Steven Russell West, 25 and Dawn Martin, 22 on drug-related charges. Jay Ramon West, 21, was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Williams and Steven West were charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell and distribute. Steven West was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Additional charges against Williams included contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Martin and Langley were charged with simple possession.

Offi cer Warren said three juveniles were in another part of the house and were not charged in the incident.

Stanton housing units looking good,

not cool

Two years in the renovation process, the public housing units in Stanton are fi nally complete…almost.

The 60-unit low income leased housing units, subject of a critical 1988 Housing and Urban Development review, have been repaired and renovated to the tune of a $348,607.80 grant from HUD.

Residents say improvements are dramatic. Remodeling of every unit has included new fl oors, windows, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, wall repair and paint. Owners have agreed to complete repair on the buildings’ downspouts, but ultimate responsibility for the repair of about 30 air conditioning units has not been established. Stanton Housing Authority Director Carolyn Flagg said the owners have asked HUD for a ruling to determine

who is responsible for the repairs when there are no parts to repair.

Overnight intruder survives fall

Employees at Smith Lumber Company arrived Friday morning to fi nd a dazed, bleeding man lying on the back of a truck stored inside a locked lumber barn. Brian Curtis Pinson, 43, was arrested and taken to the hospital with a serious head injury and blood loss after an apparent 25-foot fall from a window in the roof of the building.

Pinson told investigating offi cers that he entered the building about 10:30PM Thursday night to get out of the rain, though he later told Offi cer Robbie Patterson that he wasn’t sure what time he entered.

F o l l o w i n g hospitalization at Methodist Healthcare Brownsville, Pinson, who has a prior arrest on theft of property charges in Gibson County was taken to the Haywood County Jail and arraigned Monday morning on

charges of vandalism, burglary and possession of a crack pipe. Bond was set at $10,000 and the preliminary hearing set for September 4.

Miller trial delayed by bomb scare

Just as the fi rst witness took the stand in Dwight Miller’s re-trial Tuesday, a bomb threat emptied the Haywood County Courthouse. Miller faces trial for the second time for the 1995 murder of Donald “Dono” Rice.

When police called for a bomb-sniffi ng dog from Memphis, presiding Judge Terry Lafferty sent jurors and witnesses home. Court offi cials also called off the workday for the courthouse offi cers.

Miller was convicted in August 1996, but the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals reversed his conviction in December 1998 and sent the case back to Haywood County Circuit Court for retrial.

Blues Festival humming along
