The GIS911 program is being implemented as a pilot in the Deerfield area now. The new emergency system, as it is being developed, will divide the county into four quadrants through a computer system of digitized photographs of each area.

The center line of each public and private road in the county will be photographed and digitized, with one inch of photograph equaling 400 feet. These photographs will create an overhead map of the county which will be installed in the emergency operations computer system. When 911 is called, the dispatcher will be able to call up the location on the map and pinpoint the exact location of the caller, enabling them to better direct rescue squads, County Engineer Jeff Gentry said. "So far we have completed about one-third of the county," Gentry said. "We have in the last week or so been diligently working on having every building digitized and distinguish between the (structures)." He said the hardware for EOC was purchased last year and was installed at the emergency dispatch location grandchildren.

Our local media had an interview with someone in our community who claims to be a witch. She said she was a "good witch because she tries to harness spiritual powers to do good instead of harm.

Do you thing she was sincere, or are people like this just trying to get attention? Mrs. G.H. A. It may be both; I have no way of knowing, of course. However, it does concern me whenever ideas like hers are given public exposure in a sympathetic way, for it can mislead many people and cause them to follow the wrong path in life.

It is important for you to know that some people have deliberately committed themselves to spiritual and occult forces that are not from God. In fact, those spiritual forces are at odds with God and are a substitute for Him and His power in our lives. They come from Satan, not God (even when they claim to be used for good instead of evil) and the Bible strongly urges us to avoid them and not be misled by them. "For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" (2 Corinthians Do not allow yourself to become fascinated with any form of the occult, or be misled into thinking it will lead you to truth or inner peace or salvation. Only Christ can save us and guide us, for only He is the divine Son of God, who through His death and -resurrection "has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel" (2 Timothy Instead, make sure of your own commitment to Christ and then seek to share Him with others.

Many people today are groping for answers to lifes problems, and in their confusion some turn to wrong paths. But when we know Christ, we not only know God ourselves but we yearn for others to come to know Him as well. in the basement of the County Government Center in February of this year. In order to verify the residences and businesses in Deerfield, John Craig, director of County Emergency Operation Services, said there will first be public meetings at which Deerfield residents will be able to verify their addresses. After that, he said the county will enlist people to go door-to-door and visit each residence or structure to verify everything on photo and add anything that has been built since the photographs were taken to the layout.

He said the third step would be to knock on the doors of any residences not yet contacted and explain the project, get the person's signature and verify all the information. For residents they are unable to catch at home, he said they would leave brightly colored packets with all of the information enclosed and a card which the resident can fill out and return. He said they will continue stopping by houses they have not received information from until they are able to locate that person. In the pilot project, Craig said there has been outstanding cooperation from the Deerfield community, volunteer rescue and fire squads, the post office and the telephone company. He said while the computer system and graphics will enable the dispatcher to more efficiently identify the 91 1 caller, the telephone verification process will still be necessary.

School Continued from page I meet Thursday to discuss the matter, said Norcross. Councilmen unanimously agreed to ask for a report on the state of construction of the William Perry Elementary School including the costs incurred so far. The city issued a $7 million general obligation bond to fund the new school.
