Joseph was arrested and the items recovered
within three hours of the burglary. Heaton said
he attributes the quick arrest to “good patrol
and investigative work.”
Also being investigated is another burglary
in which some $3,000 worth of televisions and
stereos along with other items were taken from
Precision Storage on General Courtney-
He also praised the new pre-kindergarten
program. “If youngsters don’t come to the first
grade ready to learn, they won’t find their way
to higher education,” he commented.
He said that, unlike some other states which
promised they would spend lottery proceeds on
education and have not held up to that promise,
the state of Georgia has “used the money for
what was said it would be used for.”
Portch also said State Regents will be look
ing to raise admission standards for the state’s
colleges.

Houston County investigators are also hop

Sandefur Road.
According to reports, $1,360 in electronic
equipment and firearms listed at a value of
$1,840 were taken from a residence while the
occupants were away on vacation.
Sgt. Wayne Lowry is handling that case.
“We’ve set expectations too low for too
long,” he commented.
Another area that needs to be scrutinized is
“investing more in faculty and staff...to begin
to post a tenured review process,” said the
chancellor.
And, he added that one goal of his is to
begin “moving toward a semester system and
away from quarters.”
Portch said that this would force educators
to re-examine their entire curriculum, which,
he thinks, would be very good for the system.
Worrall said that some 40 appli

response to the vacant police
chief’s position.
Frank Simons left that post for
a job as head of the Valdosta
police force Aug. 4.
Simons was in attendance for
the ceremony honoring Williams.
“Things in Valdosta are going
