Since the completion of
Cooking Around the World
in Bath County, Cook Thru
the Calendar is back!. You
may have heard/seen
this program in its many
shapes and forms across
the state. Extension pro-

lesson focused on a month-
ly recipe, and depending
on the particular county,
financial tips and tools are
shared to stretch your food
dollars.
In Bath County, this pro-
gram adds other compo-
nents of healthy living as
well. Each month there is
a lesson focused on some-
thing relating to health and
nutrition. In the past top-

My name is Earl Willis and I am rmming for :re-election for Bath
Jailer. I want to start with thanking the people of the county
for having the faith and trust in me to elect me in the last election.
As your Jailer, I have always put the safety of the public and
inmates first and have made numerous changes in the transporting
and handling of the inmates.
When I came into office, I had promised I would start an inmate
work program and we have and it has been a great success. The
inmates have picked up 22,500 bags of trash, over 1,000 needles
and over 1,200 tiles along Bath County roads. They have also
painted the swimming pool every year, painted the swing sets for
the school and painted the horse show ring, bathrooms, concession
stand and the main building at the Lyons Club Park. They have
painted the old co m house and jail building, built a new deck on
the 911 Dispatch building, cleaned and painted at the Slate Furnace
Park, cleaned and picked up trash at the new boat ramp at Stoney
Cove and helped with building cabinets for the new Bath County
Museum. They also unload, organize and pass out commodities
every month. We have also started helping with the maintenance of
the Springfield Presbyterian Church and graveyard which is on the
National Register of Historic Places. Theinmate work program is
fully funded by the Litter Abatement Program from the State,
including paying the salaries of the deputies and also the purchase
of a newer van the first year.
I also started a felony mileage reimbursement program that has
brought in $23,000 since it was started and has made the pawnents
on the two new jail vehicles. The old jail vehicles cost the county
$12,000 in one year for repairs.
When Fiscal Court eliminated the Home Incarceration Officer
position, we took over the ankle monitor program and have made a
profit every month and have saved the county thousands of dollars.
We, along with the rest of the country, are going through a &ug
epidemic and at one point had 70 inmates in one month. Our
monthly average is 40 plus inmates. At the request of Judges, the
jail department has been transporting inmates to rehabilitaticn
facilities which helps the inmates and also helps with the county
jail bill.
It has been a busy spring getting the road crews out working and
up with the ankle monitor program and I may
had the opportunity to ask you personally for your vote but if you
a hands on jailer that is going to give you I 00% all of the
and is always looking for ways to hnprove the jail procedures and
find new ways to fund programs for the benefit of tile county then I
am asking you now to vote for me, Earl Willis, to remain as your
Bath County Jailer.
I SINCERELY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE ON MAY 22, 2018
