Attorney Thomas Taggart, on behalf of the two young sons of Antonio Spurgeon, filed a suit last month in Chatham County Superior Court claiming that the owners of the store formerly called Time Saver did not take steps to keep the prop erty safe. The store has since changed hands and names, and the new owners say they have improved the safety of the property. This is the second suit that Taggart has filed against the Time Saver for crimes that hap pened there. The first was in 2002 when he represented the family of Ross Robinson, a Hilton Head, S.C., artist shot and killed trying to buy a pack of cigarettes. Police have been called to the store 649 times since August 2001, mostly for dis orderly conduct, according to dispatch records.

Major Southeastern farm show highlights technology By ELLIOTT MINOR AP Farm Writer ALBANY - The 29th annual Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition, billed as the world’s largest farm show with field demonstrations, opens Tuesday with 1,200 exhibits highlighting labor saving technology as well as leisure products to enhance rural life. “Our mission is agricul ture,” said Chip Blalock, executive director of the three-day show at Spence Field near Moultrie. “But we do have something for the entire family.... It’s also a good time for consumers of agricultural products to come and see what the farm er is doing to produce the most economical, safest and abundant supply of food ... in the world.” Open from Tuesday to Thursday, the show is expected to attract about 200,000 visitors, including a few politicians. Gov. Sonny Perdue, who is campaigning for re-election, will visit the show Tuesday, and the agriculture commis sioners of Georgia, Alabama and Florida will take time out of their re-election cam paigns to compete in a milk ing contest. “We’re trying to revital- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2006 ♦ ize our dairy section and thought that would be a good, fun event that would also would create awareness for the dairy industry and the food products they pro vide, most notably milk,” said Blalock. Sunbelt’s 100-acre exhibit area will be filled with dis plays of all-terrain vehicles, lawn and garden products, hunting and fishing equip ment and the latest cars and trucks. The Expo also has a working farm with 600 acres of cotton, corn, peanuts, hay and grain sorghum. Companies show off their latest tractors and harvest ing equipment on the farm during the show. New this year will be tractors pow ered by biodiesel fuel made from peanuts - a response to high fuel prices and the need for alternative energy sources. Sunbelt has fea tured self-steering tractors with satellite guidance sys tems for several years, but the ones demonstrated this year incorporate the latest advances in the technology, Blalock said.
