VOCATIONAL SCHOOL RECEIVES EQUIPMENT SEIZED IN DRUG BUST

The Vocational School's agriculture department recently got a boost from an
unlikely source. As part of a major drug sting operation, approximately
$6,000 worth of equipment used in the illegal manufacturing of marijuana
plants was confiscated by the local Sheriff's Department and in turn,
donated to the vocational school's innovative agricultural department,
which has generated national attention with it's successful experimentation
with growing plants and fish using hydroponics and aquaponics technology.

"We were happy to donate this extensive equipment to the schools," said
Sheriff Roger Gentry. "It will be nice to actually see it put to good use."

Vocational Director Willie Hammons agrees. "Not only can these specialized
classes greatly benefit from the donated equipment, it ultimately saves the
taxpayers money by providing needful equipment at no cost."
