The OneGeorgia
Authority Equity Fund
Program held a training work-
shop at Greenville High

tribution of the tobacco set-
tlement funds.
A total of 62 million dol-
lars will be distributed over a
period of years, with limited
funds for loans and grants to
eligible applicants of cities
and counties throughout
Georgia.
The state was divided into
four Tiers according to eco-
nomic need, with rankings
based on three year average
uneployrhent rates, per-
centage of, personS in rer-
ty and three year average per
capita income.
Troup County is in Tier
Two and will be eligible for
grants and loans.
The Equity Fund is
designed to be flexible and
responsive and is a highly spe-
cialized community and eco-
nomic development tool with
limited resources.
The Equity Fund will, not
be used for projects where
other state or federal pro-
grams can be utilized or wl]en
local funds will be sufficient
and accomplish community
and economic development
goals.
The Equity Fund will be
used for building the neces-
sary infrastructures such as
airport improvements, road
improvements, tourism,
industrial parks, water and
sewage, and technology devel-
opments.
The Equity Fund program
will accept and award appli-
cations three times a year for
$5 million per project.

petitive," said Laura

cations is due May 16 and will

"I'he Gift of Love"
Love is much more than a
tender caress
and more happy than bright
hours.
For a love is made up of shar-
ing
both hours that are "joyous"
and despairing.
It's made up of patience and
deep understanding
and never of selfishness.
It's made up of climbing the
steep hills
and facing stormiest weath-
er
and nothing on earth or in
heaven can part
a love that's grown to be part
of our heart

They may not be super men or wonder women, but they do perform heroic feats -
they save lives. And for that, the surgical team at West Georgia Health System
deserves to be called superheroes.
These professionals are the driving force behind the wide spectrum of surgical
services we provide.' Through their skills we are able to offer a full range of general
surgeries, including many high-tech laparoscopic procedures. We also specialize in
orthopedic procedures like arthroscopy and total joint replacement. And then there
are our ambulatory surgeries and services including endoscopy, lithotripsy,
stereotactic breast biopsy and much more.
It's a super line-up of services backed up by one more important factor: behind
Some of ouryeate00t SUPERHEROES wear masks.

of the nicest people around.

Our annual church-wide
Thanksgiving dinner was held
Saturday, November 18 at 6:30
p.m.
We had a good crowd. We
want to thank everyone who
helped prepare the food.
We hope everyone will have
a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
We have so many sick and

remember them, especially
those who are in the hospitals
and nursing homes.

Trio were guests at the evening
service.
Our Christian sympathy is
extended to the David Beall
