Stephen Holmes offi cially became the chief of the Hawkins Volunteer Fire Department last Monday, Oct. 24, by a unanimous vote of the Hawkins City Council at a special meeting to deal with fi re department mat- ters and to adopt a resolution establishing bank account protocol for the city. Holmes had been named acting fi re chief just one week earlier at the regular monthly meeting of the council, during which an executive session was held. After the closed session Mayor Howard Coquat an- nounced the resignations of Fire Chief Van Garner and Fire Department Secretary Jill Jackson. Along with dubbing Holmes, a 20-year veteran of the Hawkins VFD, as the new chief, the city council also appointed Ricky Huggins as assistant fi re chief and Mi- chelle Litt le as HVFD secretary. Mayor Coquat asked Holmes how restructuring and re-organizing the department was going and Holmes responded, “We are doing prett y good, but we had a lot of cleaning up to do. Michelle (Litt le) and I have been working over there all day every day for the past week to get things in order.” Coquat asked Holmes how the department was com- ing with gett ing its FireHouse computer reporting sys- A runner tries to elude a zombie during the inaugural 5K Zombie Fun Run at the Alba Fall Fest and Halloween on the Square.

Rhythm Dance Teams 8A Wood County Monitor • Wednesday, November 2, 2016 Glitch WOOD COUNTY SAMPLE BALLOT From page 1A about it that got a lot of people stirred up and that prompted a lot more calls,” Wise said. “But, as far as we could tell, it was simply people not following directions properly, mostly on bal- lots that were being cast as straight ticket ballots,” she continued. Explaining what the problem was, Wise said that the errors mostly occurred when a person se- lected the straight party option and they pushed the wrong butt on next. One of two butt ons would have presented no problem. Those two are “Cast” or “Next” which did not change a thing. Howev- er, if the voter hit the “Enter” butt on after mark- ing the straight ticket option the voting machine would jump back to the fi rst page, the ballot for president of the United Sates. At this point if the voter didn’t take notice that neither candidate was marked and continued, the fi rst candidate listed got the vote from that voter. Hillary Clinton is list- ed fi rst on the ballot and Donald Trump is listed second. So, if that is what happened, Mrs. Clinton got the vote, though that may not have been the intention of the voter. Had Mr. Trump been listed fi rst on the ballot in such instances he would have received the vote. “It should not be a problem if voters would just follow the directions. I was watching one voter and he hit the ‘Enter butt on fi ve straight times, and kept saying ‘it isn’t working’ while all the time he was changing his intended votes one at a time, or fi ve diff erent votes he had intended to be a straight party ticket,” Wise said. Janna Castloo, Republican Party chair for Wood County, said she had received something like 15 complaints about voting problems on Tuesday and Wednesday. “I prett y much believe all of them were voter error,” Castloo said. “We have instructed our people working the polling places to remind vot- ers about correctly pushing the Cast, Enter, and Next butt ons. I hope it doesn’t turn into a really big problem.” Revival We invite you to attend our Revival at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church Evangelist will be: Bro.
