JONES COUNTY COMMISSIONERS YEAR IN REVIEW 2020 saw fi v e t r a ffi c fatalities

Debbie Lurie-Smith [email protected]

Traffic fatalities for 2020 totaled five with the final accident taking place in the early morning hours of Dec. 30. Just as everything else that took place in 2020, the investigation of three of Jones County’s five fatal- ities had unexpected results.

A2 | THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 2021 >> www.jcnews.com JONES COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Vaughn inspired to serve as new commissioner

Debbie Lurie-Smith [email protected]

A new commissioner for Jones County’s District 3 was sworn in last week and brings a dynamic to the board that has been missing for a couple of decades. When Wendy Brown Vaughn took her oath of office Jan. 5 to take her place on the Jones County Board of Commissioners, it was the first time since 2000 that there has been a woman on the board. Former District 2 commissioner, the late Dr. Bettye Bland Williams, did not run for reelection in the 2000 election, and former District 1 commissioner Susan Green lost her bid for reelection, also in ALAINA CLARKE/Staff 2000. District Two Commissioner Wendy Vaughn (third left) surrounded by family members after receiving her oath of offi ce from There have been no Superior Court Judge Amanda Petty (right) Jan 5. female commissioners since then.

Allen said fundraisers had already collected $2,300 toward the suite, and she asked for autho- rization to start ordering supplies. Kitchens asked if the suite would save the county money. Allen said it was not so much about saving money as streamlining the process. She said Dr. Debbie Gadd would be &BTJFS donating the majority of her services. The manger went on to explain that the cost to adopt a dog or cat would be a flat fee of $110, which includes the spay or neutering, micro- chip and the first round of shots. “That’s a reasonable fee,” she said. Allen said having adopted animals spayed or neutered is required by the Department of Agriculture. Currently they attempt for follow up on the procedures after adoptions, but that is almost impossible. “We will continue fundraising and hope to be able to give a large portion back to the county,” she said.
