Making funnel cakes is a
cinch for AARP members
By TOREY JOLLEY
Staff Writer
The American Association ol
Retired People (AARP) will have a
new place to cook up their delicious
funnel cakes this year. Don Norris,
vice-president of fhc local AARP
chapter 1744, and Louie Hartley,
have built a new trailer which
meets the county health board's
tequircmciiLs.
According Norris, last October
during the Farm/Cily Day the
health department informed the
AARP that they were in violation
of health standards. County health
requirements state that food booths
"shall have four walls, a floor, a
ceiling, and screened -in windows to
keep bugs out."
In previous years, the AARP had
used a lent to cook up the funnel
cakes. Norris said the health
department knew about the group
cooking the cakes in the lent but
"had looked the other way.” Now,
Norris explained, "they have pul a
stop to it."
The booth will be ready for its
grand opening March 31 and Norris
said the trailer will not require a
health inspection or insurance prior
to ilsDogwood Festival debut.

Water control discussed
By TORKY JOLLEY
Staff Writer
With the April 18 resignation of
"Matt" Matthews as water supply
control specialist for Houston
County Water, the board of
commissioners arc planning to
consolidate the position with the
water quality control position, thus
saving approximately $18,408 on
salaries, plus bcncfiLs.
Tom Pound, director of Houston
County Water System, presented
this issue before the commissioners
April 3. In his request, Pound
nominated Paula Miller for the new
position.
Miller has been Matthews' back-
up for several years and Pound
stated that she is "very capable, and
knows the system well."
Pound also staled Miller will be
able to train her personnel on the
monitoring system, therefore
improving back-up capabilities.
Pound proposed to increase
Miller's salary to $23,608 from her
current pay scale of $21,840 to
compensate for the increased
responsibilities.
In addition to Miller's
promotion, Pound also requested
Grady R. Trusscl Jr. be promoted to
Chief Operator. Trusscl is Houston
County's only certified operator.
