Nobody knows who ordered new sheriff’s patrol car
Published 6:25 pm Sunday, September 20, 2015
By MICHAEL MURRAY
AMERICUS — The Sumter County Board of Commissioners met for its monthly work session meeting on Sept. 8 and then reconvened for the board’s regular meeting on Sept. 15. Both meetings were held in the Sumter County Courthouse.
During the work session, Sumter County Fire Chief John Ekaitis opened the meeting with a request for permission to allow the county’s new rescue truck to travel to Jekyll Island on Sept.18 to be displayed at the Georgia State Firefighter and Fire Chiefs Conference.
The board approved the request before Ekaitis read a card that the department had received to the commissioners. The card was sent to thank the department for a prompt response to an emergency situation on U.S. Highway 19 South. It described the situation surrounding the emergency and the steps that the firefighters took to remedy the situation, finally saying, “If you hadn’t come so quickly, we probably would have lost our home.”
After Board Chairman Randy Howard and other commissioners thanked Ekaitis for sharing the card with them, Ekaitis informed them that the department’s public fire safety awareness program has been receiving positive feedback in the community.
Sumter County Emergency Management Agency director, Nigel Poole, addressed the board before Howard read a proclamation declaring the month of September “National Emergence Preparedness Month in Sumter County. After the reading was finished, Poole said that “This is a good way for us to be more prepared and to help prepare our citizens for all types of emergency situations.”
Sumter County Sheriff Pete Smith addressed the board about an issue regarding the purchase of a new patrol car to replace one that had been in a wreck. Commissioner Clay Jones asked Smith what the value of the wrecked vehicle was and Smith responded that he thinks it was around $3,100.
Howard told Smith that the purchase of six vehicles had already been approved and that this would mean the purchase of a seventh car, of which the board was previously unaware.
“That gives us five cars, replacing road patrols, and two transport vehicles,” Smith said.
Howard asked Smith if he had ordered the vehicle and Smith responded that he had not. Bernie Merritt, who would be in charge of purchasing a new vehicle, also stated that he had no knowledge of the order.
“I didn’t order it, personally,” Smith stated after informing the board that the vehicle had been delivered. “Then who ordered it?” Jones asked.
Smith went on to say that there had been a lot of confusion surrounding the recent purchases of vehicles for the sheriff’s office, but “I think that we are obligated to purchase this car.”
Howard expressed concerns about how the car would be paid for and asked Merritt once more if he had knowledge of the purchase order. Merritt responded that he did not. He informed the board that the purchases of any vehicles bought with SPLOST funds would be processed by his department and that he was aware of the purchase of two transport vehicles and four patrol cars, but had not issued a purchase order for a seventh vehicle.
Smith informed the board that the vehicle had been ordered from Don Jackson Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep in Union City. Sumter County Administrator Bill Twomey told the board that he had contacted the dealership and found that the car in question is believed to have been delivered in July. Twomey advised the board that a representative of the dealership had said, “This was an emergency purchase to replace a wrecked vehicle. It’s silver. It’s a 2015 charger. This car was ordered by the Sheriff’s Office and that’s all I need to know. If you have any questions, you can ask Melinda.” Melinda’s position within the organization was not made clear at the meeting, however there is a Melinda who is administrative assistant to the sheriff and chief deputy.
Commissioner Mark Waddell said to Smith, “Somebody ordered the vehicle. Whoever orders the vehicle has to have some sort of level of authority.” Smith stated that he believes the confusion began with the different scenarios that his office had to go through to purchase these vehicles.
Twomey said he would contact the dealership again and get more details on the order and inform the board of his findings.
Howard pointed out that the car does not currently have insurance or a tag and asked Smith if the vehicle is currently in use. Smith replied that the vehicle is currently in use and Sumter County attorney, Kimberly Reid, advised the sheriff that the vehicle should be parked until a tag and insurance have been purchased. Smith replied that he was previously unaware that the vehicle did not have insurance.
Howard suggested that the board table the issue until the next meeting, when more information is available. Before the issue was tabled, Waddell commented, “We have specific funds designated for SPLOST and we all know that SPLOST is not coming in as we originally projected, so we can’t lose any money from SPLOST … We would be taking money away from other projects that we have already designated the funds to go to. Otherwise, it has to come out of the sheriff’s budget. That’s the only way.”
Jones asked Twomey if the cost of the vehicle could be added to the sheriff’s budget this year and subtracted when next year’s budget is set. Twomey advised that, though a similar situation might be possible, SPLOST funds can only be used for designated purchases.
The board revisited the issue at the Sept. 15 meeting. Howard reminded the board of the circumstances surrounding the vehicle’s order, and Twomey stated that since the vehicle was ordered before the end of June, it must be included in the 2014-15 fiscal year budget. Howard went on to remind the board that, since the car currently has no tag or insurance, it can not legally be in use. “How are we going to take care of this? That’s the issue that we’re running into now,” he said.
Twomey later said, “To me, it’s clear that this is not a SPLOST transaction. It didn’t go through Bernie [Merritt], who is charged with handling SPLOST transactions.”
Howard asked Twomey if it might be possible to retroactively amend last year’s budget to include that purchase, and County finance director, Janice Jarvis informed him that the Sheriff’s Office had finished the previous fiscal year slightly over budget. Jarvis warned the board that the Sumter County audit will be held soon and that a write-up could be issued for exceeding the budget at a departmental level if a budget amendment is not created to account for the rogue vehicle. Twomey then stated that, in order to create such an amendment, money would likely have to be taken from another department that did not exceed its 2014-15 budget.
When asked if anyone had suggestions, Waddell stated, “I’m not willing to get written up and I’m not willing to take money from another department’s funds that didn’t go over their budget. That’s part of our word to those departments that, if they save money, they can do capital expenditures.”
Chief Deputy Col. Eric Bryant, representing the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office at the meeting, said, “It sounds like you have a clearer understanding of how we got here. I think the next big hurdle is what we’re discussing now.”
Howard told Bryant that if the sheriff “needs to purchase a car, regardless of the reason … he needs to come sit down with Mr. Twomey and they’ll go to Bernie [Meritt] … This was not an approved budget item … If the department had come to us before and we had amended the budget, we would not be where we are now … ” Howard went on to say that if this happened again, the vehicle may not be paid for.
Commissioner Thomas Jordan said, “We should have a policy in place so that this doesn’t happen again … It shouldn’t be where someone can order a car without the proper notification to the people that are supposed to be doing it. To me, that’s why we’re here, because we have a loophole … We need to fix it so that this can’t happen again … ”
“We can create every rule in the book,” Waddell added. “But if the sheriff or an elected official goes on and does something like this, we can’t stop them.” Howard responded that, if a similar incident were to occur in the future, the responsible party could be taken to court if necessary.
Waddell said, “At this moment, my vote is ‘no’. Not to pay for that because it didn’t go through the proper procedure. It’s not fair to the county. It’s not fair to everybody that does what they’re supposed to do … and then a vehicle gets ordered and we come back and try to move money around that we have all, as a group, worked to save … I’m not in favor of paying for anything until we know what we can do … ”
Howard addressed Bryant, as the sheriff’s office representative, saying, “What really concerns me more than anything else is that the car has no insurance. It as no ARI tracking record on it and it has no tag, which is illegal. and it’s being used. I saw it today.”
Waddell reminded the board that Reid had advised the sheriff to park the vehicle at the board’s work session the previous week.
Bryant responded, saying that the car had not been in use on that day, saying that there are two similar vehicles currently in the sheriff’s fleet. Bryant said the department was under the impression that the sheriff’s office was covered by a fleet insurance policy, which covered each of the cars in the fleet as a group. He also said that he would take the keys after the meeting to ensure that the vehicle remains parked.
The board agreed to hold a called meeting as soon as possible to give them time to discuss the options. That meeting has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the courthouse and is open to the public.
Following the discussion with the sheriff during the Sept. 8 work session, Reid advised the board that, due to a recent Supreme Court decision, the county’s sign ordinance needed to be revised. The court decision states that a sign ordinance cannot include content-based restrictions, meaning that exemptions in the ordinance can not be granted to different institutions or to groups that will be posting a sign for a specific purpose not defined in the ordinance.
Reid stated that she will begin drafting a new ordinance as soon as possible.
The board discussed bids submitted for the demolition of three structures in the county. Sumter County Code Enforcement Officer Mike Sudduth informed the board that Tommy McCurley had submitted the lowest bid for each of the projects and the board agreed to grant him the contracts. Each of these contracts were presented at the regular meeting and Reid asked Sudduth to review the contracts before aproval.
Sumter County Public Works Director Frank Whitaker informed thr board that the approved construction on South Georgia Technical College Parkway is scheduled to begin on Sept. 19 and is expected to be completed in April 2017. He said a groundbreaking ceremony for the project will be held Sept. 29 at South Georgia Technical College.
Twomey led a discussion about business licenses and regulatory fees. He stated that the board needs to explore options on how regulatory fees and occupational taxes will be assessed in the future.
Commissioner George Torbert advised the board that the Land Bank Authority will need start-up capital in order to proceed. The group discussed contacting the City of Americus to talk about the best way to share the costs of starting the organization.
Sudduth wrapped up the meeting by informing the board members of progress that has been made on the Southwestern Estates Project on Felder Street. “The project’s come a long way from the plan that was originally introduced,” he said.
At the Sept. 15 regular meeting, the board discussed the approval of a request from Jimmy and Laura Faircloth to change the zoning of a property on Ga. Highway 27 East from residential to commercial. Planning and Zoning had previously approved the request. Reid advised the board that any zoning change must wait until the next meeting to be approved.
Representatives of Southwestern Estates answered questions from the board about the upcoming project.
A representative from Sumter County Fire and Rescue addressed the board about the county’s “Hear the beat where you sleep” program, aimed at raising awareness of fire safety in the county. Howard then read a proclamation about Fire Prevention Week.
A discussion was held on the codifying of Sumter County fire fees, dealing with how fees should be assessed in the case of uninhabitable structures. The board discussed changes made to requests from Wesley Chavers and Eli Properties regarding property taxes.
The board approved an agreement for Sumter County to serve as fiscal agent for the Southwest Georgia Children’s Alliance and the Americus-Sumter County Airport Authority.
The board held a discussion of future permit requirements for non-public wells in the county.
The board approved a request from the Public Works Department for a trade of surplus weapons for new weapons to be used by deputies supervising inmate work details.
The board discussed a letter from the owner of Reflections Sports Bar and Grill in Plains before approving an easement for drainage between John Warren Dean and Sumter County.

Data from: Effects of long-term variation in pollinator abundance and diversity on reproduction of a generalist plant
Thomson, Diane M. (2019), Data from: Effects of long-term variation in pollinator abundance and diversity on reproduction of a generalist plant, Dryad, Dataset, https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.r77pc42
1. Quantifying the benefits of pollinator abundance and diversity for plant reproduction is a critical challenge, especially given recent pollinator declines. Many studies test for pollen limitation (PL), but huge gaps remain in our understanding of how often and why plants experience PL. Most studies are limited to a few sites or years. Little existing research mechanistically links pollinator visitation with plant reproduction. Also, buffering against variability in visitation is a key but largely untested potential benefit of pollinator diversity. Long-term studies pairing visitation data with PL experiments are essential to addressing these gaps, but extremely rare. 2. I measured pollinator visitation, responses to pollen supplementation, and fruit weights in the generalist plant Scrophularia californica across multiple sites for 8 years. I determined how often S. californica experienced significant PL and tested mechanistic models predicting PL and fruit (capsule) weight from visitation. I then used those models to simulate pollinator loss and evaluate the relative effects of changes in visit quantity and quality. I explored the stabilizing benefits of visitor diversity by quantifying both covariation among pollinators and effects of simulated species loss on variation in PL and capsule weights. 3. Scrophularia showed significant PL in only 26.9% of patch/year combinations tested. Visitation by the most abundant (Apis mellifera) and effective (Vespula pennsylvanica) pollinators strongly predicted PL and capsule weights. Both response curves were highly non-linear, but PL saturated more with increased visitation. Pollinator loss simulations predicted substantially increased PL and reduced capsule weights, mostly because of lower visit numbers rather than changes in visit quality. Visitation rates of individual pollinators varied substantially and without correlation. Simulated pollinator loss increased the spatial and temporal skew in visitation, resulting in higher predicted coefficients of variation for PL and capsule weights. 4. Synthesis. Previous work predicts a non-linear relationship between pollinator visitation and plant reproduction, but this is the first long-term study I am aware of that quantifies such a pattern. The analysis of covariance in pollinator visitation combined with my simulation results provide novel empirical support for another important hypothesis: that multiple pollinators can provide stabilizing benefits for plant reproduction.

“He just went straight off the edge,” said Sgt. Eric Munger of the Clallam County Sheriff's Office.
Harley Robert Sutton, 30, remained in jail Saturday with no bond set for investigation of DUI, third-degree driving with a suspended license and a failure-to-appear warrant.
He was taken to Olympic Medical Center for evaluation of minor injuries, said Ben Andrews, assistant chief with Clallam County Fire District No. 3.
Sutton was arrested after he was discharged from the hospital, Munger said.
“Alcohol was a factor in the wreck,” he said.
Sutton is a Washington state resident but does not live on the North Olympic Peninsula, said Munger, who did not know Sutton's hometown.
Munger said a 9-1-1 call was received at about 6 a.m. Saturday about a white Dodge Dakota on the beach down the bluff from Cays Road where it turns east and becomes Marine Drive.
Paramedics arrived to find Sutton standing outside of the truck, Andrews said.
No other vehicles or people were involved, Munger said.
He added that the truck damaged a privately owned staircase that led down to the beach.
Two tow trucks were used to haul the truck off the beach and back up the bluff, Munger said.

A MASTER MARTYR
I was wondering if you could address the problem of being a martyr. I have to do almost everything in my home, and I do resent it – I don’t deny it. I ask people to do things, but I just wish I didn't always have to ask, and sometimes it's easier to just do things myself. Of course, then I resent it, and then, people call me a "martyr". I don’t see a way out of this because I do get upset, sometimes. Do you see this problem often, and what is your recommendation when you do?
I have yet to meet a woman who has never descended into martyrdom. I see it all the time. And if I met a women who never did, I don’t know if I would even believe her.
Let me define martyrdom: a negative place where the ability to solve problems neutrally, and communicate them effectively, is no longer possible. A place of resentment in which the challenges of life build to a tense, rigid negativity in which a woman feels exceedingly alone, unloved, overburdened and angry. A state in which the resentment ekes out from every pore.
What this looks like for different women is variable. But it’s in the nature of her walking around the house, muttering things, sometimes out loud, like “why is this all up to me?”
No matter how well organized or relaxed, rested or loving a woman may be there will be times when she gets overwhelmed. In the real world, that is to say, the world of flying curve balls, it happens all the time. Like I said, I have never met a woman who has never had those moments.
At these times, the overwhelmed woman may not have at her disposal the higher-brain functions that enable neutral problem-solving, solution-finding and the ability to deliver clear, direct, positive requests. All she will have is irritation.
However, I don’t like to call this being a “martyr.” Instead, I think of it as becoming a little “fretful.”
Women who can enjoy becoming a little fretful in their family stand a better chance of training their families to respond with kindness and cooperation during those inevitable moments. It is one of the greatest luxuries in life to belong to a family that can tolerate unavoidable fretfulness in women, grumpiness in men, and crankiness in children.
It is not easy, however, getting comfortable with being fretful. Here are some of the top reasons why women can’t enjoy it.
I shouldn’t be so resentful. I am hurting my family with my resentment.
#2: DISAPPOINTMENT…IN ONESELF
Why am I such an awful person? I should be better/nicer/calmer/more giving.
#3: FEARS OF BEING ABANDONED
If I keep this up, they are going to hate me. My husband is going to withdraw from me. They are not going to love me
I am just an unhappy person. Why can’t I be happy? I don’t blame them for being upset with me.
The negative judgments we make about our own unhappiness and resentment can make it difficult for us to get our needs met. This is one of life’s greatest ironies: when we need help the most is often when we know least how to actually get it.
The best time to work on the problem of martyrdom - once you have accepted that a little fretfulness is inevitable and your family should accept it - is when you are rested and not angry. At these times, you can troubleshoot the problem and see if there is any way to prevent feeling resentful in the future. Do you need more help? Do you need to make changes in your life?
If you suffer from guilt about being fretful, feel disappointed in yourself or fear that you won’t be loved if you have negative feelings, it will be hard for you to stand up for what you need and to feel justified in asking for anything. That is going to make it much harder not to feel like a martyr in the long run because martyrs often feel trapped.
Each of our emotions is an instrument; sometimes we need a little help learning how to play some of them. But ultimately, the more emotions we can learn to play successfully, the bigger and better and more in tune our full orchestra, otherwise known as life, can be.

A football team that has had 2 players sent off:D
dunno. football has 11. unless i get sent off. so i will say football in my team has 10 players who play football
There are many types of health and safety rules in association football, 1 of the main one's that if you disobey you could be sent off or even severely banned from football, and that is contact with the opposite players, for example; you can slide tackle but you cant directly aim to get the legs.
Many players have been sent off in many FIFA World Cup tournaments.
well there are 11 on the pitch at one time unless someone gets sent off!

Supply Management Mastery is an elusive goal. As SI has been documenting for years, in order to master supply management, you have to manage a slew of Source to Pay processes as well as related Operational, Finance, and Risk processes.
But this is not easy when you consider the many steps involved in even source to pay. Spend Analysis. Opportunity Analysis. Requirements Definition. e-Negotiation. Strategic Sourcing Decision Optimization. Contract Negotiation Management. Catalog Creation. Guided Buying. Purchase Order Management. Invoice Management. Supplier Management. Risk Management. Product Management. And so on.
You have to master all of them, but you can’t work on them all at once. You have to make priorities, and eliminate all but the top three (3). And even then, you might not be able to tackle all three if each would require a separate system.
So what’s your priority?
Spend Analysis gives you insights, but you have to be able to act on them. That requires e-Negotiation, SSDO, contract management, etc.
Opportunity Analysis goes beyond just spend to determine if your opportunities are spend related, supply base related, process related, or otherwise.
Requirements Definition helps crystalize organizational needs and helps the buyer zero in on what really matters. But then it has to create good contracts and statements of work.
e-Negotiation helps capture all of the back-and-forth between both parties so that the organization can build supplier profiles and take advantage of that. Provided the organization has deep supplier master data management.
SSDO can find the optimal cost allocation across suppliers, products, and carriers and delivers an average savings year over year that exceeds 10%. But it requires deep models and lots of data. And where does that data come from? Typically from e-Negotiation.
Contract negotiation management is great for creating great contracts. But you need product details, SOWs, risk management and liability clauses, and other data.
Catalog management software is great, as long as you have a supplier management portal to manage the supplier the catalog comes from.
Guided buying is even better, but only if you have the solutions to guide the buyer to that captures the majority of organizational spend. Guided buying that only works in an incomplete catalog is more of a frustration than a solution.
Purchase Order Management can eliminate a lot of paper, provided there are catalog, sourcing, etc. systems to integrate with to auto-generate those POs on buyer actions.
Invoice Management systems are great, as long as you have POs, contracts, goods receipts, and other documents to m-way match against! Otherwise, they just collect e-paper that still has to be manually reviewed. (And in the average organization, that still typically results in them being printed.)
Supplier Management is great for managing information, relationships, and performance, provided their are networks and portals to collect the data from, and internal systems to create and manage scorecards to define performance improvements on.
Product Management is key to understanding the product and category dynamics, but then you need category management strategies to map to.
And, these days, instantiations and realizations of risk can wipe out the savings from 10 sourcing projects, so risk management is paramount, but detecting and monitoring for risks requires a slew of systems internal and external and lots of data.
In other words, every system is great, but generally only if you have one or more systems to collect the data it runs on or supplement key functionality.
Which again begs the question, what are your priorities? Otherwise, you’ll never know where to start.


Learn what network forensics is. Jungwoo provides the essential terms and concepts of network forensics.
- Network forensics is a subfield of computer and cyber forensics. Its goal is to preserve and analyze data for evidence to be presented in civil and criminal court cases. The basic mission of network forensics is still the same as that of computer and cyber forensics. However, the difference lies in its focus on the network data exchanged between various hosts, rather than the static data generated and stored locally on each computer.
Network forensics leverages all the data sources that make up a computer network, ranging from host firewalls to intrusion detection systems. One of the key aspects of network forensics is to effectively preserve, process, and analyze these disparate types of data. Due to the advent of cloud computing, we have vastly enhanced our capacity to preserve and process raw data for network forensics purposes.
In fact, the average size of such data is now quickly reaching the scale of big data. What's even more exciting is that analysis tools designed to take advantage of the big data are becoming rapidly available and more accessible to us as I speak. This, in turn, will provide better insight on a network incident, and even allow us to predict impending attacks in a real-time fashion.
One of the enablers for these newly-emerging trends is big data analytics and machine learning. Another enabler is the commoditization of the big data analytics services, in the form of cloud computing offerings. For example, all the major cloud service providers, such as Microsoft Azure, and Amazon AWS, are now featuring machine learning services.

Published by Seth Quillen in: Film -- Date: 9 Dec 2011 Comments: 0
There’s a new The Amazing Spider-Man poster crawling around and Superhero Hype found it. It’s kind of a teaser poster but it’s pretty cool. The new poster carries the tagline “The Untold Story.” While a reboot was all to soon for your friendly neighborhood spider-man, everything I see gets me excited for Marc Webb’s new film. I’m really looking forward to seeing Spider-Man and Peter Parker going back to their roots.
The film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Embeth Davidtz, Sally Field, Chris Zylka and Denis Leary. the Amaxing Spider-Man hits theaters July 3, 2012.

A PUNISHING review of a celebrity-owned New York restaurant has gone viral.
The brutal take-down of Guy's American Kitchen & Bar by New York Times food critic Pete Wells consists of a series of hostile, often unanswerable questions aimed at owner Guy Fieri.
Fieri, who co-owns five restaurants in California is pretty well-known in the US. He has his own TV series on the Food Network and enjoys the occasional game show-hosting gig.
Thanks to Wells, Fieri's fame is going global - for all the wrong reasons - with thousands sharing the piece via social media networks this week.
Topped with the ominous headline As Not Seen On TV, Wells begins by taking aim at the confusing, overly-descriptive menu.
"Did panic grip your soul as you stared into the whirling hypno wheel of the menu, where adjectives and nouns spin in a crazy vortex? When you saw the burger described as 'Guy’s Pat LaFrieda custom blend, all-natural Creekstone Farm Black Angus beef patty, LTOP (lettuce, tomato, onion + pickle), SMC (super-melty-cheese) and a slathering of Donkey Sauce on garlic-buttered brioche,' did your mind touch the void for a minute?"
Then Wells gets stuck into the food:
"Were you struck by how very far from awesome the Awesome Pretzel Chicken Tenders are? If you hadn’t come up with the recipe yourself, would you ever guess that the shiny tissue of breading that exudes grease onto the plate contains either pretzels or smoked almonds? Did you discern any buttermilk or brine in the white meat, or did you think it tasted like chewy air?
"Why is one of the few things on your menu that can be eaten without fear or regret — a lunch-only sandwich of chopped soy-glazed pork with coleslaw and cucumbers — called a Roasted Pork Bahn Mi, when it resembles that item about as much as you resemble Emily Dickinson?"
And the temperature of the food:
"Somewhere within the yawning, three-level interior of Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar, is there a long refrigerated tunnel that servers have to pass through to make sure that the French fries, already limp and oil-sogged, are also served cold?"
And then there's the matter of the donkey sauce.
"What accounts for the vast difference between the Donkey Sauce recipe you’ve published and the Donkey Sauce in your restaurant? Why has the hearty, rustic appeal of roasted-garlic mayonnaise been replaced by something that tastes like Miracle Whip with minced raw garlic?
"And when we hear the words Donkey Sauce, which part of the donkey are we supposed to think about?"
Wells likens the drooping Baked Alaska to a "representation in sugar and eggs of going insane", wonders why the toasted marshmallow tastes of fish and whether "the entire restaurant is a very expensive piece of conceptual art".
He concludes with a rating of "poor" but concedes "the well-meaning staff seems to realise that this isn't a real restaurant".
