said Bell.
Recent rains which played havoc
with area residents, don’t seem to
have had a detrimental affect on
farm lands.
According to Bell, some areas
have been affected by erosion,
though not severely.
"There has been some erosion,"
said Bell, "But much of the farm
land has faired pretty well. The soil
is fully moisturized. It's loaded with
nutrients young plants need, so
we’ll just have to wait and see."

Still, Kings Chapel would have
an enrollment of only 461, down
from its current 593. Chapman ex
pressed concern over the drop, but
suggested some classrooms there
could be used to house self
contained classrooms for special
education students.
Bonaire Elementary would remain
overcrowded. Its current enrollment
of 916 would be reduced to 729
through the loss of the 54 students
and the sixth graders. However, it is
a school built for 550 students.
One of the main problems, as
Chapman explained at the public
hearing held at Kings Chapel, is the
fact that the drainage fields for the
schools septic tanks are at capacity.
Bonaire also experiences high an

According to Bell, this year's
bumper crops are expected to be
cotton and peanuts. Farmers state
wide are facing worries this grow
ing season.
According to Bell, many growers
faced with lean crop yields last year
are having a rough time financing
this year's crops.
Bell says he has not been noti

Houston County area. Furthermore,
he says he has not heard of any fed

Board Member Zell Blackmon
commended Chapman for his
handling of the zoning hearings
"under stressful conditions."
"The hearings were very
productive," said Blackmon. He
called the events "democracy at it's
best.”
However, several Kathleen
residents, from the area near Little
Farm Road, were unhappy. Connie
Sparks said the move simply "put a
band aid" on a serious problem.
Sparks, and several of her
neighbors, noted that when a new
elementary school was opened,
which is possibly as near as three
years away, the Board would have
to re-zone again.
The final measure taken by the
Board was to move to close
hearings concerning finalized zones.
