Two Teens Removed From School
The following is from the Haleyville City Schools FaceBook post which you may not have seen since not everyone is on FB.
“Yesterday the administration at Haleyville City Schools was notified of an inappropriate Instagram post that was made by 2 of our HHS students. This post was of a threatening nature to schools. Once notified, these 2 students were removed from HHS by the Haleyville Police Department in conjunction with our juvenile authorities. The court systems are involved today. HCS, the City of Haleyville and County Officials take these types of threats seriously and the consequences are very serious. We encourage all of our students and parents to communicate with our administration if they have any questions, concerns or see any social media posts that make you uncomfortable. Safety is a top priority and we will do everything in our power to protect our children. If you have questions or concerns about this situation, please contact your school administration.”

Commission Passes Tax For Hospital
Keeping the Lakeland Community Hospital open has been the main objective of both the City of Haleyville and Winston County. In order to fund the hospital the City passed a one-cent sales tax and on Monday, February 26, the Winston County Commission voted to impose an additional 2-mill ad valorem tax on property owners in the county. This is actually a reinstatement of a tax for the hospital which was in place when it was a county-owned hospital before the purchase by Caraway. The original tax was for 4 mills.

Spreading Fertilizer By Air
A ground crew and one pilot will be operating out of the Haleyville airport through Tuesday with one mission. Spreading fertilizer on thousands of acres of pine trees for timber companies. Each flight of the Air Tractor delivers 6 tons (12,000 lbs) to a crop of pine trees a few miles south of Haleyville.
The specially formulated fertilizer makes an otherwise slow-growing crop grow much quicker, thus a quicker return on investment for the owners. Hog Aviation, based in NE Arkansas is doing the spraying.
